    the wonders of chinese slave labor. I guess you can do that when you have a billion people and a ton of them in jail/reeducation camps.

  2. maybe ... on Is There Still Racism in IT Hiring Practices? · · Score: 1

    maybe there are fewer latinos and blacks because if you have every looked in a CS or engineering class in any major 4-yr college, it is mostly Asians and Whites.

  10. Re:ipods on iPod Owners Not Thieves · · Score: 1

    leeching off your friends is legal (at least in the US)

  11. Re:ipods on iPod Owners Not Thieves · · Score: 1

    "Or when they can get quality MP3s from their friends."

    yes, but we are talking about piracy here. getting music from your friends is not piracy.

  12. ipods on iPod Owners Not Thieves · · Score: 1

    people who pay for ipods have paid more more quality and simplicity. P2p programs offer neither of those. I dont see someone with a $300 mp2 player mucking around with edonkey2000 when he can just click buy and get the same thing for 99 cents in a second.

  13. PKI is a stupid name on Does Your Company Use a PKI Solution? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    PKI and other names for encryption like encryption, lock etc. are stupid names. What should be done to advance its adoption is to have a put in envelope button and an open envelope button. This way it hammers the point that email is a post card and if you have something you don't want the world to see, you put it in an envelope. It is a paradigm that translates well from the real world and makes much more sense than lock and unlock or encrypt and decrypt.

    just my 2 cents.
