  1. Re:Roxxor on Sony Japan to Abolish Copy Controlled CDs · · Score: 1

    I have just bought a Toshiba Satellite with DVD burner and in the settings for the DVD region, Australia is region 4.

  2. Re:Superceded on Navy ELF to Be Scrapped · · Score: 1

    The rule of thumb that I was brought up in the Navy with is that "boats can't cross oceans, ships can, and don't ever try to argue this point with a submariner.".....

    I heard "you step down into a boat, you climb up onto a ship" or "a ship can carry a boat."

  3. Re:Superceded - reality check on Navy ELF to Be Scrapped · · Score: 2, Funny

    Do you really think Australia has 30 ships?

  4. Maybe it's just me... on File and Printer Sharing Insecure in XP SP2 · · Score: 1

    Hmmm... I installed SP2 and could no longer access my printer/scanner and therefore no longer print my files, but, anyone on the internet could see them! removed it and there they were again. I must have done something wrong I guess.

  5. Re:Wonder How Microsoft Will React on Corporate Servers Spreading IE Virus [Updated] · · Score: 1

    " And I also wonder how many people will actually heed the call and switch their browser........"

    Well I just heeded the call. Just installed Mozilla Firefox and submitting this post from it, First time I have done anything like this and it works just fine. I used the import and all my IE bookmarks are here, even my home page and cookies that I keep are here.. Looks fine to me. I'm and old Fella and had NO problems following the /. advice. Thanks.

  6. Re:Social Engineering is all but unstoppable on Social Engineering Still Best Way to Crack Security · · Score: 1

    In the morning the long line would stretch from the front of the desk to almost out the front door. All in a hurry to get a replacment card because they left theirs home (again). It was a maddening rush, a morning ritual. No-one could enter the building or pass through any internal doors without their security pass. NO problem mate, I have NO idea who this guy is standing in front of me but he says he is Bob, I look up Bobs access and program a temp 12 hour pass for him to use. He can get anywhere Bob can... sure hope thats really Bob... Oh what the hell, I dont really care, just wish these assholes would not forget there passes every damn day making my morning hell with the mad rush when I really wanna be down in the basment having a coffee and a smoke in the carpark.

    All spelling errors and typos are mine, get your own!
