  1. im happy letting google think my sole function in life is to play plants vs zombies.

    Don't you get it? You're not supposed to tell Google the truth in a shell account...

  2. Re:I can already see on Russia Pledges To Go To the Moon · · Score: 1

    Putin revealing his masterplan of placing a giant laser on the moon and having a maniacal laugh...

    Nothing James Bond can't fix...where is Roger Moore these days...

  3. Re:Civil war on Scotland Votes No To Independence · · Score: 4, Informative

    The vote was a 55-45 margin...and conducted in a safe manner without much in the way to dispute. No reason for riots nor civil war. I also don't think enough was on the line for anyone in Scotland to feel motivated to take up arms. Remember northern Ireland and the IRA? How did that work out for the common person?

    I have altered the agreement...pray I do not alter it further...

  5. Re:why? Better for Comcast to not know on Comcast Allegedly Asking Customers to Stop Using Tor · · Score: 1

    This.
    A thousand times, this.
    I never thought any good would ever come from the distribution companies owning the content companies...and I turned out right.

  6. Re:This may be the way to escape from Comcast on Comcast Allegedly Asking Customers to Stop Using Tor · · Score: 2

    A VPN? That's hiding internet traffic from them, which is precisely their problem with Tor.

    I am sure most office workers and many small businesses are going to have a problem if Comcast starts blocking vpn traffic. Then again, use an SSL vpn instead of IPSec and I don't see how they could block it.

  7. Re:Jesus wept, will people never learn? on Hackers Break Into HealthCare.gov · · Score: 1

    Easy, because one of 3 things:
    1. It is too expensive and no one wants to budget for it.
    2. I.T. is severely understaffed and forced to work in reactive mode, not proactive mode.
    3. They have the security in place, but it is so complex and covering such a large architecture, it is not well-monitored nor maintained for fear of breaking something.
    This being the US federal government, there are probably about 100 different contracted companies for all the various parts of and pieces, with no federal IT employees overseeing any of it.

  8. Re:So what was the plan? on Russian Military Forces Have Now Invaded Ukraine · · Score: 1

    Since Crimea? Honestly, Putin has been using force for some time now. He invaded and pacified Chechnya, followed by an incursion into South Ossetia...with a followup into the rest of Georgia. Now, he is in Ukraine. I suppose for an encore...Armenia, Belarus better beware. The Baltics are in the best shape...they are NATO members.

  11. Hardware still matters on The Quiet Before the Next IT Revolution · · Score: 1

    It seems too many forget that all this virtualization still runs on physical servers. Those physical servers still need hardware upgrades, monitoring, and resource management (especially when one starts oversubscribing). I don't get why people keep thinking hardware went away. Instead of lots of 1U servers, now you have big iron running lots of virtual servers.

  12. Re:How much is due to Congestion on Expensive Hotels Really Do Have Faster Wi-Fi · · Score: 2

    Having worked for an ISP specializing in hotels...your wishful thinking is quite true. Hotels that charge tend to splie the revenue between the provider and the hotel. This is a higher margin for both, which allows for better equipment and better circuits. "Free" wifi at the lower and mid tier hotel build a flat rate into the room cost, as well pay a flat rate to their provider. This is a low margin product, so they tend to have smaller circuits and lower end gear. Keep in mind, the hotels buy the circuit size and equipment packages...not the providers. The Providers can recommend anything they want, but only the high end hotels tend to go with the recommendations (think Ritz Carlton by Hilton, JW Marriott, etc.)

    The biography of former U.S. defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld was edited to say that he was an "alien lizard who eats Mexican babies."

    Truth hurts...although I hear Guatemalan babies are much tastier with better spices.

  19. Re:the NSA already thought of this. on Protesters Launch a 135-Foot Blimp Over the NSA's Utah Data Center · · Score: 1

    Not really. Check the local news and plenty of residents saw it. In fact, the data center is easily visible by most in the Salt Lake and Utah Valleys.
