  1. Re:done already! on Firefox 0.10.1 Released, Fixes Security Hole · · Score: 2, Funny
    It seems to me an upgrade all the way to V1.0 would be the right way to go. Isn't V0.10.0 pretty damned old?

    BTW, I tried to follow the upgrade instructions, but apparently the exploit doesn't affect the Linux version, so you folks might want to consider an OS upgrade while you're at it.

  2. If you visit a cheap whorehouse... on Identifying Compromised Websites · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...in Tijuana and don't wear a condom, you deserve what you get. Surfing the Internet with Internet Explorer is no less risky than unprotected sex in a cheap Tijuana whorehouse.

  3. Mozilla exploit? on Mozilla Developers Respond to Malware · · Score: 3, Informative
    Whoa! If this was a Mozilla exploit, does that mean I have to patch my Linux version?

  4. Re:MDBTools can read Access Database on Jeremy White And Mad Penguin On CrossOver Office 3 · · Score: 1

    Thank you. That was what I needed.

  5. Too little, too late. on Jeremy White And Mad Penguin On CrossOver Office 3 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    In looking at the list of Gold apps, and those are the only ones that matter since partial functionality sucks, I don't see a single app that I need that isn't already done well enough by Linux. It would be nice if they had fully functional Access compatibility, since one of my customers has subscribed to a service that uses an Access database, and records can only be downloaded in Access format. It really sucks to have to have a dual-boot computer just to convert those records.

  6. Re:MS on Sasser Author Under Arrest, Say German Police · · Score: 1

    My wife is forced to use XP at work. Her computer is set to auto-update, is firewalled, and has two up to date virus scanners. Despite taking all recommended precautions, her computer got sassered. Does anyone care to explain how she is in any way responsible?

  7. Re:Liability on Sasser Author Under Arrest, Say German Police · · Score: 1

    "How, exactly, is he any more liable than the millions who run insecure, unpatched machines? "

    Indeed, and how exactly is Microsoft, who sell shit sandwiches at ham/cheese/dijon prices any less liable, than the virus writer?

  8. Re:laws on An Ignition Interlock In Every Car? · · Score: 1

    "Sure both sides play this sort of game. But it has become more blatant since the GOP won control of congress and even more blatant still after DeLay deposed Gingrich."

    28 of 66 members of the AZ House are Republicans, yet you manage to find a way to blame Republicans for Democratic idiocy.

    Friggin' amazing.

  9. Re:Yeah, Rrrrrreal nice on Enderle's Ferrari Laptop · · Score: 1

    Titanium reflects radio waves? And aluminum doesn't? There must be a hell of a lot of titanium in cars and airplanes, then, otherwise radar couldn't see them.

    "If I start an automobile company and call it Missan I wouldn't be too shocked if Nissan's legal department didn't come and pay me a visit."

    You don't even have to go that far. A Mr.Uzi Nissan owns a computer company, and has been prevented from using his web site and registered domain name for commercial purposes. Article at Wired.com.
