  1. Re:This is absolutely ludicrous.. on Usenet Gag Order · · Score: 1

    The police are there to prevent people from getting physically beat down, not to prevent people from communicating.

    The police, What kind of Idiot are you. Its the courts. The Police have nothing to do with this.

    Judges our human beings, there are smart ones and dumb ones.

  5. Re:depends on the meaning of words on MS response to NSA key backdoor in Windows · · Score: 1

    What's the allegation?
    The report alleges that a cryptographic key that ships as part of the CryptoAPI architecture is labeled "NSA key" and constitutes a "back door" that could be used by government agencies to start or stop system security services on user's computers.

    **Note the above comment made by microsoft is very specific. To specific. Were it refers to start and stop security services is deceptive. Whith the key they may have it may totaly bypass the security. Does any one know this for sure?

    Thanks Sherm

  8. Re:why the hell is 911 being run on PCs on 911 Calls Linux · · Score: 1

    Fair response, let me clarify.

    BUDGET!!!!

    and we have to use pc's because they do other tasks that I did not list in the article.

    We can only work with the money they give us. If we had the money for redundancy we would use it. But realiy has to set in and we don't have the money.

  9. Re:Liablity and Linux on 911 Calls Linux · · Score: 1

    I had to reply to this one. It is a very valid question. I have had to worry about liability for years. What I had to do is make a budget work for the most reliability. Microsofts price was going up and quality has been falling. I tried os/2 and a few others. I chose linux because it was and is solid. The liability goes to the agency that uses the software, not to REDHAT, Slackware, etc. The City gives us a budget we have to follow that budget. If it is a low budget, we have to do what we can to survive.
