  1. Re:Wow... on MySpace Down Due To Power Surge · · Score: 1

    Actually, I think they use this awful backend. Don't blame ColdFusion and Adobe because MySpace skimped on the $$$...

  2. Re:Amazing on Google Doubles its Profits · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Do keep in mind, especially with financial transactions, there are different laws in different countries and they may not be able to quickly release a certain product in your country.

  3. Re:Anyone thought of the "save page as" on SQL Injection Attacks Increasing · · Score: 1

    That is why the processing should be done on the server side and not on the client side.

  4. Did anybody actually look at the site? on Google Finance Beta Released · · Score: 1

    Take a look at:

    http://finance.google.com/finance?q=goog&btnG=Sear ch

    Seems to me, they have some cool features that the other finance sites are lacking. I, personally, really like the site!

  5. Re:Its about time. on Microsoft Claims Worlds Best Search Engine Soon · · Score: 1

    Google (or MS?) would be smart to purchase a company like Digg to feed into their search results. Let people figure out what links are relevant or not.

  6. Re:Anyone up for doughnuts? on Newspapers Wrapped in Credit Card Data · · Score: 1

    Doughnuts? or beer?

  7. Re:Small question: on The Future of e-Commerce and e-Information? · · Score: 1

    Reading the article, I was thinking that also. Maybe Google has the foresight to see this coming and they want to be able to combat the telcos to keep their costs low.

    If Google has purchased enough, they could actually provide priority themselves keeping the telcos from charging whatever they want.

  8. Re:Question on Ask Microsoft's Security VP · · Score: 1

    Do you honestly expect to get 12 serious answers from a group like Microsoft?

  9. Possibility? on Computers, Long Hours and Vision Problems? · · Score: 1

    My old boss has been using computer for over 25 years. He said that his eyes kept getting worse and worse until he went and got contacts (he had glasses before). He said that after he got contacts that his eyes stopped getting worse even though he didn't change his computing habits. I've been tempted for a year or so to get contacts and see if the same thing is true. Maybe glasses have something to do with it?

  10. Re:What language? on When Bugs Aren't Allowed · · Score: 1

    Thanks.

  11. What language? on When Bugs Aren't Allowed · · Score: 1

    FTA: "For example, C, C++, Structured Query Language (SQL), Ada '83 and Ada '95 have been used. However, such languages are intrinsically unsuitable for deep static analysis and are only ever used for the non-critical parts of the implementation."
    What language do they use?

    I really was waiting for someone to bring that up!

  15. Re:I forsee on Google Adds Search History Feature · · Score: 1

    I don't know why I read that as "it's a 'perv' parameter".

    Maybe thought Google was tracking pervs on the Internet now too!

    Girlfriends too!

  17. Re:They won't list the sites on Corporate Servers Spreading IE Virus [Updated] · · Score: 1

    Though I don't necessarily agree, the thought is that people will go visit those sites to see what happens.

  18. Re:one thing I never get... on Corporate Servers Spreading IE Virus [Updated] · · Score: 1

    If it wasn't profitable, there wouldn't be people to send out spam...

  19. What really happens... on Corporate Servers Spreading IE Virus [Updated] · · Score: 5, Informative

    Since the article is very vague, what happens is that once they compromise the IIS server, they modify each site on the server to write a document footer to every page. The document footer calls a DLL placed in the %windir%\system32 directory. The DLL writes a line of JavaScript to each page which redirects the user to a remote server to download the malicious code.

  20. Re:SETI running out of Work-Units? on SETI@Home Transitions To BOINC · · Score: 1, Redundant

    It would be nice if they could distribute some of the processing power to other applications/projects such as Folding at Home to help them out. Better than wasting the cycles or having machines sit idle...

    Searching for Aliens might be cool and all, but there are practical applications this could be used for...

    I think that the girlfriends would be more concerned with each other... ;)

  23. Re:Saftey measures... on WiFi Gone Wild · · Score: 1

    Should each road or sidewalk have a handout so when people drive and get in an accident the state/city/etc doesn't get sued?

    When people opened their browser you could have a disclaimer they must agree to... past that, there isn't much you could do.

  24. Re:Might as well paint your car 'Arrest me Red' on RFID License Plates in the UK · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Very true, but you could change your broadcast to another valid car, or change it every 30 seconds, or a number of things (including no broadcast)...

  25. Re:Not "public" nudity if nobody saw her at the ti on Woman Ticketed For Nude Pics On Internet · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately your legal defense probably wouldn't hold up. She's still in a "public" place. Now I haven't read the law but I doubt it matters if there are people present. I'm pretty sure it has to do with "where" the pictures were taken.

    Not to mention, you'd have to be able to prove that other people weren't around...
