  1. Re:Why don't OS X and Linux attract more users? on Microsoft Expects 1 Billion Windows Users by 2010 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Most people don't know what an OS is. For most, a computer is just a device, like a TV, or video player. As long as it runs The Sims, The Internet, and downloaded Porn vids, what does it matter.

    Go into a high street store, ask for a computer, you get shown a Windows PC.

    Last I checked TS did not alow two people to use one computer, when only one computer exists.

    TS will let a second person connect to one computer using a second computer.

    If I am wrong, please provide links showing two people using one (and only one) computer (one computer, containing two graphics cards, and two USB keyboards & two USB mice).

  19. Re:Try Enigmail on Appeals Circuit Ruling: ISPs Can Read E-Mail · · Score: 1

    Go S/MIME, and its even easier!

    S/MIME (admitively slightly different versions of) is supported by Outlook and Mozilla. In both cases you:
    a) Go to web site. (I use Thawte, as its free, most cost quite a bit)
    b) Fill in details, wait for keys to be created (and auto insterted into either MSIEs (& thus Outlooks) or Mozillas Key Chain tool).
    c) Click the "Encrypt" button thats now in your toolbar.

    Why do you expect your employer to not read you emails?

    if years in tech support has taught me one thing its this, no one reads your emails as they are dull as fuck.
    I mean, thanks to some Apache Magic we searched on a number key phases, and still the number of false positives ment that it still a waste of time. In the end we faked it.
    Much more fun.
  24. Re:Email Encryption on Appeals Circuit Ruling: ISPs Can Read E-Mail · · Score: 1
    1) The encryption software is built in to their default mail client

    The software is already built in to Outlook and Mozilla. Outlook even includes a link to people selling keys, including a free one.
    2) Its easy to use

    It is not hard, but getting the key could be made easier.
    4) Its compatible with everyone elses.

    Haha, like that'll ever happen. Both Mozilla and Outlook use S/MIME. Mozilla follow the standard. Outlook makes a slightly different one. *grr*
  25. Re:Okay Thunderbird, time to step up to the plate on Appeals Circuit Ruling: ISPs Can Read E-Mail · · Score: 1

    It is no more difficult to send encripted email in Outlook than Mozilla.
    In both cases, you inport a key, get sent your friends public key and click the Encript buttons.
    The problem: convincing people to do that.
