    If M$ locks them out, will M$ build a better mouse trap? If there is free compation then we might get a better mouse trap.

    But this closes the door for someelse to make a better security tools. Untill Mircosoft builds a better OS that is more secure, then the door should be open for anyone to build securty tools. Venders should not be locked out just because they did not build the OS.

  6. Re:This is Dangerous on Judge Rules Sites Can Be Sued Over Design · · Score: 1

    Yes, I have a poor grasp on reality. It keep kicking me.

    If the technology were adequately safe and reliable what reasons would we have not to employ it?

    FEAR. More airplanes crash because of human error. Should we talk about people driving cars? Somedays I think a blind person could drive better.

    Maybe I am tolling, but then again this is slashdot

    We do not have the technology yet? Sorry to inform you we do have the technology to takeoff and fly to another airport and land safely without someone flying the plane. Only us people have said no to having computers fly the planes. This technology has been around for over 20 years. We could do the same thing for cars if we wanted to.

    As a disabled person I do find this ruling foolish. When do you think a blind person will be given a Drivers license?

  9. Why go wireless? on Upgrading Wi-Fi — What, When, and Why · · Score: 0, Troll

    I fine that I do not need wireless stuff. Just drag a network cable around the house. I do not have to worry about stuff in the walls hindering my connection. I will stack my 10Mbit network against your wireless network any day.

    PS. I also do not have to worry about the wife sniffing my pr()n. :-D

    Man you must turn a blind eye. Here in Washington we are controled by Decmocats. Oh not that Washington. It has DC on the end of the name. Our leader want to build a tunnel to replace above ground road. Humm, build a new stadiom for what? A basket ball team. Gee, if the football, baseball, basket ball teams had to have a bake sale while schools got the funding they needed. Oh off topic. They want to rase our taxes, but give themselves a rase. We have one of the highest unemployment taxes in the country, with one of the highest gas taxes too. Democats are no better then the other party.

    Oh one of the Senters that go to the other Washington, claims to be an envirmentals. She drives one of the biggest cars you can buy.

  13. Re:Sigh.. on Microsoft Retracts Private Folder Option · · Score: 1

    The problems comes when everyday the password will have to be pulled out of the wallet to login. Also do not expect user to use any serect code. They have enough problems doing their job. Remembering a password is not a job requirement.

  14. Re:Once is ok, but twice is too much... on Debian Server Compromised · · Score: 1

    Yes, windows updates are signed. But how can you tell that the signed are not cracked? I will trust RedHat or Suse before Mircosoft.

    Ok you write your drivers to work with a black box. I will work with the source code to write the driver. Who do you think will write a better driver or who should write a better driver?

  17. Re:'Long overdue'...or 'same shit, different day'? on Microsoft to Turn to Driver Quality Ratings System · · Score: 1

    Hey if the company who made the OS does not release the source code so the driver company can build a proper driver then the blame falls back to the OS maker.

    I have always found any linux/unix system can read more types of files and file systems. Playing games does not count as a file.

  23. Re:Not a useful thing for MS to do on Microsoft Bypasses HOSTS File · · Score: 1

    And how is it better then tripwire? You say that just because tripwire's data is another location. This data would be in a read only file system. So how is the M$ mechanism better?
