  4. Re:This happened to a family member . . . on Escalating Gmail/Spamming Attacks · · Score: 2, Informative

    On a side note, GMail, by default, does not require an SSL connection. I wonder if anyone who was hacked had their settings set to require that.

    This used to be the case, but they've changed now. http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/01/google-turns-on-gmail-encryption-to-protect-wi-fi-users/

    I had to remind everyone I know that some websites *always* check to see if they can log into your e-mail with the password you supplied.

    Agreed 100%. The second we give the government the authority to censor "hate" speech, we've given them the tools to take away our ability to talk about anything.

    You say that like it's a good thing.

    A court order doesn't mean that it was Google vs "The Government" It could be a court ordered removal of a video depicting trade secrets or such. (I think.)

    Yeah let's release everything google knows the Chinese government has been doing so google's (former) employees get imprisoned, or worse.

  13. Re:Only Apple on iPad Jailbroken · · Score: 1

    No, they promise the ability to run thousands of apps.

    There are thousands of apps in the app store.

    For the iPhone they said "there's an app for that", as one of their advertising slogans.

    There probably is (an app for that.)

    The fact that these apps are only allowed to run if listed and found in the App store is correct, but in the fine print (not part of the marketing message)

    Honestly, who cares? It's an ad, it's not supposed to hilight bad things, and the commercial is far from false advertising.

    I wonder what would happen to a person in a room full of H and O, if that mixture were ignited?

    Oh man, I remember foolproof. I am so glad that I was considered "IT help" though most of HS or I should surely have gotten in a lot of trouble. Why are school librarians so afraid of black windows?

    OS 10.6 requires 1 gigabyte; no exceptions. But WIN7 runs well on just 256 MB. Apple OS appears 4x as "bloated" as MSOS.

    The 1GB requirement is so the OS will very well. It's just using the recommended requirement as the min requirement.

    PS I agree with your post.
