    Of course this man is in the wrong and like all spammers should be chucked out with the trash however you have to wonder how stupid some of the victims are. If something looks to good to be true it probably is.

  3. It might be a cynic on Microsoft Audits UK Council To Prove Cost Effectiveness · · Score: 3, Insightful

    but how do you think this is going to end up? Of course MS is going to be shown to be more cost effective as all they have to do is lower the cost of licenses and then make some noise about TOC.

    Of course it doesn't matter that the people who are in local goverment already know open source solutions so support wouldn't change a huge amount but at the end of the day we all know how this is going to go. I would like to be surprised but I somehow don't think I will be

    How can the people doing the audit really be truely independent if paid by the larget commerical software house in the world?

  7. Sega Game Gear on Nokia 7700 - "Multimedia Terminal" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Does this remind anyone eles of the Sega Game Gear? It looks more like Nokia is going for a gaming stance. Get a TV tuner and put that onto it. Won't be able to tell the difference

  10. MP3's on EFA Claims No Illegal Material On mp3s4free.net · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It might be that the site just had a list of MP3's that are in the public domain. Just because something is in MP3 format doesn't mean that it isn't legal

    Max OSX is built on BSD and the software doesn't offically support BSD. Isn't that just a bit weird?

  20. Outsourcing on Transcriber Threatens Release of Medical Records · · Score: 1

    This is the problem with outsourcing. You have to trust the 3rd party and be aware of what they are doing. Surely some sort of checking would be made before hand and some legal representative should at least look at what is going on..

  21. Security on Dept. of Defense IPv6 Interoperabilty Test Begins · · Score: 3, Interesting

    With built in things like IPSec + Auto Config it will help the DOD deploy things quickly and securly. Of course for the rest of us it might take another 5-10 years before all running on IPv6
