    Imus got fired for trying to do what howard stern does so well.

    they're referring to the selling of in-game resources on something like ebay.

  4. the crucial error on Survey Finds Few Intend to Upgrade to Vista · · Score: 1

    Microsoft is cramming vista down everyone's throat.

    try buying a new pc without vista right now!

    I'd bet anything the poll respondents are those who also aren't intending to purchase a new pc or laptop within the next 12 months also.

    Vista is inherently unsafe to put on the internet. where's ralph nader when you need him?

    You can't actually think that it only took 20 years.

  11. I'm not even a fanboy on What to Do When Your Security is Breached · · Score: 1

    If you've been smart, you'll already have a computer security incident response team -- and a plan -- in place. If you've been smart?

    The sysadmins are smart. It's their managers who make those decisions. 99% of managers simply don't have the brains to see the need for a disaster recovery team.

    The solution is simple. Plan, Plan, Plan, Test, Plan, Test, Plan, and Test.

    Your Data has to live separately from your OS/Apps

    The easiest way is to use a VMWare ESX server and keep daily/weekly backups of the VMs.
    Your Data should live on a Large redundant Storage Array.

    The ideal situation for every IT group is a scalable redundant SAN and a scalable Blade center running VMWARE bare metal.

    The costs of such things don't seem worth it, but They really are.
  12. Re:GEEK SQUAD WOO HOO!! on AV Software Isn't Dead, But It's Not Healthy · · Score: 1

    People that have a decent expert opinion with computers typically don't even use AV software.. and if you do, you must be one lazy bastard and don't care how fast your system operates.. You sir, are a moron.

    Only a moron doesn't run AV software.

    a simple utility will not block a nasty virus which uses an exploit in your operating system to propagate.

    You can't stop it alone. We all know you're not sitting in your mom's basement writing your own windows patches.

    Use kaspersky or avira

  17. baked in? on MS Security Guy Wants Vista Bugs Rated Down · · Score: 5, Interesting

    in Linux and Unix and Mac's BSD, what's higher than root?

    in Microsoft Vista, what's higher than administrator?
        root
              superroot
                    supersuperroot

    that's right, there are three privilege layers above administrator in Vista.

    users cannot access those, but software can.
    "Oh, you're a process, here's the keys!"

    agreed.

    and finally, to the Keystone Kops:

    hire more qualified computer analysts. that means candidates with a BS in CS.
    that doesn't mean some yokel who took a certification course at the local diploma mill.
    that certainly doesn't mean training your officers in computer forensics.

    If cops could do computer forensics, they wouldn't be cops!
    I've known one cop in my life who wasn't a complete kludge with computers and he was a gamer.
