  1. I agree but... on Why Working Remotely Needs To Make a Comeback · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I recall over the summer reading a piece in the Wall Street Journal (http://blogs.wsj.com/atwork/2012/07/13/working-from-home-beware-a-career-hit/?mod=e2tw)
    Pointing to the fact that telecommuters aka people that work remotely are less likely to get promoted regardless of their productivity and work ethic.

    Quite alarming

  2. Re:BIND vulnerability not fixed? on Mac OS X v10.5.8 Ready For Download · · Score: 1

    I doubt this patch actually warrants the version number, 1.5.8. IMHO it's just a tie over until the release of Snow Leopard.

  3. By the same token on Google Analytics API Goes Public · · Score: 1

    Would the reduced bandwidth lead to lower revenue??

  4. Re:It is a good sign on Microsoft and Red Hat Team Up On Virtualization · · Score: 1

    Very well put.

  5. Credibility on FDA Questions Swedish Cell Phone Cancer Study · · Score: 1

    Sorry but with this administrations credibility problems. I find it impossible to believe anything that's coming out of a crony infested federal agency.

  6. Call it what it is - on Microsoft to Ship New Malware Protection Utility · · Score: 1

    Protection money. The last time I heard mob members were arrested for these practices.

  7. Re:OMG on Dell We'd Sell Mac OS X · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The catch is that Dell doesn't truly intend on going through with OS X based systems. They are basically trying to get MS to lower their OS licensing prices.

    Remember when we had something like that when Dell said that it will have AMD based systems?

  8. Re:BRILLIANT! on Will Microsoft Control the Anti-Spyware Market? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What's so called BRILLIANT is the fact that now Microsoft can actually profit from their OSs flaws i.e. not bother to fix all the ones that can prevent spyware from getting in to begin with.

    If you want it taken care pay us an additional fee and you'll be "safe". Protection fee?

  9. Re:Sad day in geekdom.... on Former TechTV Shows and Staff Dropped · · Score: 1

    I can totally relate. With me it's been like that ever since they had let Leo Laporte go.

    When that happened I realized where TechTV was headed.

  10. Software Firewall on Stopping ChatZilla Installs on FireFox Systems? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    How about a software firewall like zonealarm that would block chatzilla from accessing the Internet

  11. Re:How did I get here? on Soviet Space Shuttle Found In Bahrain? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What scares me is that if they lost such a huge spacecarft can you imagine what else they could have easily "misplaced" without anyone knowing???

  12. Yes But on How About a Gigapixel Digital Camera? · · Score: 1

    Does it have OnStar?

  13. Speechless on Michael Moore Seeks TV Airing of Fahrenheit 9/11 · · Score: 1

  14. Re:Not a negative choice on HP Linux Laptop Is A Winner · · Score: 2, Interesting

    However, on the Macs the OS is made to work with the hardware and vice versa. Does it mean that if this picks up. Manufacturers will realize the potential and make sure that their laptop's hardware is Linux friendly as well?

  15. Re:Still a good valuation on Google Goes Public at $85/share · · Score: 1

    It was meant as a joke! A wink at all those that look for the Microsoft in everyting.
    I thought that by stating the obvious it would be perceived as such. I guess I should have added the smiley face.

  16. Re:Still a good valuation on Google Goes Public at $85/share · · Score: 2

    Now that Google is going public, what would prevent Microsoft from buying a massive amount of shares and basically taking over Google?

  17. Re:News Flash: Firewall Blocks Inbound Traffic on Microsoft Lists SP2 Incompatibilities · · Score: 1

    The first this that comes to mind is, version control, "CVS".

  18. Re:Scary on VoIP Terms of Service May Surprise You · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I totally agree with the parent regarding the recording aspect. It is my impression that this isn't any different than what is currently happening with land line phone companies though.

    During a television interview with Patrick Norton on what used to be TechTV. The head of the NSA had revealed that following 9/11 various "Random" phone calls are being monitored, using a monitoring system that is triggered by keywords, that are used during the phone conversation.

  19. Something that I'm missing? on Scientists Study The Scream Of The Squirrel · · Score: 1

    Apart from the fact that we now know that they use a wider range of sound frequencies isn't it somewhat presumtuous to say that the "...content of the messages have been deciphered."

  20. Re:Glad to hear it on Netscape 7.2 To Be Released August 3rd · · Score: 1

    You can install the perftoolbar for Mozilla.
    Once you have that, you can change the User Agent ID to IE or Netscape or whatever your financial website wants to "see".

    That's all there is to it.

  21. Disaster Recovery on Cyber Risk Insurance? · · Score: 1

    You need to consider the size of the business and the size of the network that is being insured.
    Your network is small enough to be able to recover fast from any "cyber" risk. Provided that you have good backups and disaster recovery plan.

  22. Re:What concerns me most on Comcast Signs Deal To Acquire TechTV · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Notice what the G4's CEO said "... This merger is a win for G4; a win for TechTV; and a win for our advertising and affiliate partners," I didn't see anything about viewers. In other words I suspect that your worries will turn out to be founded.

  23. Security on Constructing a Corporate Open Source Policy? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I believe that the thing that needs to be addressed and stressed are the recent KNOWN vulenrability "outbreak". The fact that in order for one to keep up and deploy all the security patches that come out almost on a daily basis on all clients. One has to have dozens of man hours per patch. Which obviously translates to quite a bit of money.

  24. Re:Concern?? on EyeToy PS2 Camera To Use Digimask For 3D Faces · · Score: 1

    Please note my response to bigman2003

  25. Re:Concern?? on EyeToy PS2 Camera To Use Digimask For 3D Faces · · Score: 1

    Notice that I put shield in quotes. Trust me I'm not that naive. I know what makes them tick. The reason I used the term shield is because some companies and even societies "moral" claims. That's all.
    I do agree with you, that in reality they don't care about the social impact.
