    Who leaves their business secrets in the open. Especially laptops, they get lost stolen, or as the article says people examining it. Really you can use a truecrypt container and hide it somewhere.

  13. Re:Whis is this not a meta-package? on GNOMEbuntu Set To Arrive In October · · Score: 3, Informative

    If the people are not an expert, then they have no need to know what GNOME is. In reality, it's really easy to install the GNOME package, go to the software center and install it, then change your desktop at login.

  14. Get the public interested. on US Astronomy Facing Severe Budget Cuts and Facility Closures · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Some people find it harder to edit Wikipedia. The syntax is plainly confusing. There are many people out there who can help improve content, making it easier could convince them to do it. It's probably being worked on, a WYSIWYG editor complete with templates, citations, etc. would help There could e an advanced mode for those familiar with the syntax.

  21. Let companies bid for them and put ads on error... on Paul Vixie: 100,000 DSL Modems May Lose Their DNS On July 9 · · Score: 2

  22. Public outrage. on Belgian Rightsholders Group Wants To Charge Libraries For Reading Books To Kids · · Score: 2
