  1. Re:He's still better off than Assange on Bradley Manning's Court Date Finally Set · · Score: 1

    At least the charges against him are real.

    Are they? I doubt there is any proof (like a digital signature on every cable).

  2. Who cares anymore on OCZ Releases First 1TB Laptop SSD · · Score: 2

    I know I'm supposed to care that an SSD is unreliable, but the truth is you have to back up everything anyway because hard drives aren't reliable. I have a server with conventional drives in a raid array for data security, I want my main machine to fly.... and SSD lets you do that. I just wish it didn't cost so much.

  3. Re:Metrics on McAffe Pain ??? on Firefox Advises Users To Disable McAfee Plugin · · Score: 2

    http://www.zdnet.com/blog/ou/proof-that-antivirus-software-makes-your-pc-crawl/327 >>The desktop Antivirus suites all appear to make your PC run slower than a 5 year old computer when it comes to slowing hard drive I/O down which is the biggest factor in PC wait times. Norton Internet Security 2006 was the worst resource hog, McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8 was the second worst, It's only the second worst! This is from 2006, but we both know they haven't improved since.

  4. awesome on Pakistan Bans Encryption · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm sure this will totally work out for the government without any blowback or unintended consequences...

  5. And it comes full circle... on Dumbing Down Programming? · · Score: 1

    A language that reads like english? You have "invented" COBOL...
