  1. Re:Film Gimp on Film Gimp Chalks Up Another Studio · · Score: 2, Informative

  2. Re:XP: the most unsecure pos on the planet on Crack Windows XP With... Windows 2000 · · Score: 1

    Wrong! Go to services: look at terminal services... it's enabled automatic with a default install... the firewall is not enabled... I'm not trolling... If I were I'd be laughing... just because XP makes a separate admin account does not mean it's any more secure... in fact if makes things *less* secure since now all a hack has to do is crack the password if you do not rename the account (50% already done for the hacker) I can't remember about the guess account... I'm at work on a 2000pro box... This is for XP pro default install.. if yours is different I'd like a copy. Somebody back me up on this...

  3. XP: the most unsecure pos on the planet on Crack Windows XP With... Windows 2000 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    XP, just like any other os is only as secure as you make it... It's the classic trade off between usability friendlyness and security... It takes weeks to make XP a secure os... the default install is for looking good, which is what sells it in the 1st place... netbios on automatic, terminal services enabled, firewall not, file sharing enabled, internet serices enabled... the only way to make it work is to shut everything off and go *back* in... turn on only the thing you need, and then redo nearly all the local security policies... clt-alt-del log in... fast user swtiching off... encrypt the temp folder, make sure remote desktop is off... rename the adimn account, turn the guest account off, turn show last user name off... it just keeps going and going... the more I think of, the more I feel naked everytime I boot up. Mac OS X seems more secure, but there is always the OS 9 boot and modify issue... where you need to set the system to have a password when booting into it... and open firmware password... you have to *make* it secure... they need to have a "secure install" option for all default installs for these OSes...

  4. On top of Linux!!? on Should The Next Windows Be Built On Linux? · · Score: 1

    What possible advantages would windows gain from a Linux kernel? I can't think of one! Mac OS X did the switch to a unix kernel but that was only because of stability issues and the fact that they could port tons of software to a relatively small software base (compaired to windows software base)

    Have you seen the filter benchmarks with this beast? Forget about Gigaflops!.. we're talking... well, it damn fast!

  6. It has to be said... on Mac vs. PC: Digital Video Editing Comparison · · Score: 1

    Why did Apple buy Shake? It has the fastest core renderer of any product out there... which has future applications for both Quicktime and FCP. Steve narcissistic but not stupid... he does own Pixar after all... which brings me to an ironic yang, most of that done in Pixar (excuse me: PIXAR)is, uh Linux. Perhaps this should change things... My info is subject matter straight from Linux Journal. (about Shake acquisition... don't turn me in ti Harvard English, thanks.)

  7. Make sure the version... on VNC, No Longer Orphaned · · Score: 1

    There is a known method of password cracking for version VNC 3.3.2 which is vulnerable to dictionay and brute force attacks.

  8. Re:What's worse? on Microsoft Word Security Flaw · · Score: 1

    True... Even worse, releasing an application with security flaws in the first place.

  14. Re:...Geez on The Matrix is Reloading · · Score: 1

    And if you had eyes you'll notice before that they pulled a bug out of his chest with a mechanical device... "Jesus! that thing's real?..." think about that for a second... why would they need such a proceedure for a "virtual" bug? Furhtermore, why would they be in the same room with him using equipment when *their* actual location is on the ship along with the would-be equipment doing the job? Plus being hurt in the Matrix causes real injury? What are they running this on? A Mac? Talk about WYSIWYG? Sorry my spelling's off.

    The Matirx team is about to pull Neo out of the Matrix... "I need a fix on his location!..." Gee, try the chair on the other side of the room you moron... I hope they get a fix on a better plot this time.

  17. Re:Is bad. on Samba Team Responds to Microsoft CIFS Spec License · · Score: 1

    It probably has something to do with Apple's choice of SMB as a the choice for connecting to Window box. There's no $ in it for MS and Apple's a commercial OS.

    This is what happens to most Apple G4 workstations if you spill your water on it, or try to telnet in after midnight.

    We all know that Linux users know everything anyway, and thus need no support...

    I guess these cards then have no value for internet transactions of any sort then?

    I just don't think my privacy is that safe on the internet... anybody who falls into a false sence of security over using a smartcard should think twice.
