  1. Better Vocabulary? on Kids and Computers · · Score: 1

    vocabuliary, fugures If this is the vocabulary the net is shaping then it is a good thing that people dont have access to it. Is it really that hard to use a spell checker?

  2. Sounds like a product problem not a sysadmin thing on Contacting Network Admins Of Large Internet Companies? · · Score: 1

    it sounds like you have the wrong type of product rather then a tech problem. I am on the @Home network with Shaw up here in Canada, and you cant run a mail server with the home product, because they do check for servers and stuff, but they have a business product that allows you to set up any server at all, which I have a share in. Its more expensive, but it also has more bandwidth available and static IP's and stuff. We have a mail server on that one. We also have a very good relationship with our salesman, and he takes very good care of us.If there is any problems, we get escalated pronto. We then slip him a case of beer or two and a letter of recomendation. It works well.

  3. Re:Child care teachers being screened on The Tightening Net: Part Two · · Score: 1

    While I would probably agree if I had kids of my own, I do think this kind of reasoning is very, very dangerous. You are basically punishing such a person for life, completely abandoning the whole "pay your debt to society, start over" thing.

    Its not abandoning the "pay your debt to society, start over". Its just saying that you have a problem being around children, so you must get a job where you are not in contact with children every day. They dont do checks for sex offenders if you want to work construction. Frankly, if I knew someone who had a history of computer crime, I would not want them fixing my computer. I would let them build my house, or serve me food, or teach my children mathematics.

  4. Re:Taco Taco Taco on Ballmer Claims Linux Is Top Threat To MS · · Score: 1

    As opposed to Linus Torvalds who just stole ideas from Unix to create Linux?

  5. I got what I expected on Do-It-Yourself "Dungeons and Dragons" Film Review · · Score: 1

    I wanted a movie with a lot of good eye-candy and wicked graphics. I got what I wanted. There were some parts when I wanted more action and less acting because the acting was terrible. As well I think the nipple armour went over the top, but on the whole...I liked it for what it was.
