  1. I don't like that idea, but... on Would You Rent Out Your Unused Drive Space? · · Score: 2

    While I wouldn't want to rent out space on my hard drive, what if I could get everyone in my family to work together and share some HD space and have a family Virtual SAN? That would be cool. Then I can control who is using the space, not everyone in my family does use all of their hard drive. I can put family pictures in the Family SAN, and automatically everyone can access them. While I don't like the original idea, there are potentials for it.

  2. Re:Microsoft's 1990's business plan. on Linux Foundation Comments On Microsoft's Increasing Love of Linux · · Score: 1

    If there was anything I learned from the Connect conference today, at the very least, Microsoft wants to be a player on all platforms. They are removing restrictions that used to limit their reach to just the Windows platform. In order to be relevant, they had to open up their systems. This allows .NET to compete in the OSX, iOS, and Android markets. Those markets are huge, and they want to play. These tools make it very easy to build once and deploy anywhere. Isn't that the ultimate goal? Don't we all want to build one solution and have it be an application, a website, a mobile application, on all platforms all at once? They are just striving for that.

  3. Instead of defining broadband on AT&T Says 10Mbps Is Too Fast For "Broadband," 4Mbps Is Enough · · Score: 2

    Where I live I have one option other than AT&T, and they cost more for less speed. Instead of defining broadband I think we need to ensure there is competition for ISP's from other ISP's .

  4. Re: Experience versus Credentials. on Does Learning To Code Outweigh a Degree In Computer Science? · · Score: 1

    The problem is there is a shortage of jobs to develop experience.

  5. Same story, different day on Does Learning To Code Outweigh a Degree In Computer Science? · · Score: 1

    How many articles with this same theme am I going to read?

  6. Check out this book on Good Database Design Books? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Check out Database Design for Mere Mortals... It's a pretty good book for beginning database design.

  7. Re:Security? on Microsoft Talks Back To Google's Security Claims · · Score: 1

    Can you tell me one single product that has been secure from the beginning? Unfortunately we are not all perfect and that includes programmers and all scenarios can not be anticipated by a small team in comparison to the number of users and exploiters out there. Come to reality and realize that the story is... Microsoft is doing the best they can, and they continue to do better.

  8. Re:Legal System Flaw on Windows 7 Under Fire For Patent Infringement · · Score: 1

    I believe that there is a lot of negative Microsoft statements thrown around with no substantial information provided. "Microsoft and Vista Suck" is not really any sort of intelligent statement. Microsoft has done a lot of good and are continuing to. So bring on the positive Microsoft statements, maybe if they didn't have to spend all their time fighting people's view on them they could spend more time helping to further the OS world.
