  1. Re:What about licensing? on Microsoft Plans Hypervisor for Longhorn · · Score: 1

    unless you have an enterprise licensing agreement with MS. We have one, it pretty much enables us to use most of their products as much as we need. Granted this comes at a huge price and we need to track internally what we are using but, We are covered for just about any production use of any Microsoft products.

  2. Re:A totally uninformed post! on Seeing Around Corners With Dual Photography · · Score: 1

    as a reply to your sig....
    its better to add 0.0.0.0 to your hostfile that way your waiting for 127.0.0.1 to time out, unless your running a web server on your local box.

  3. Re:10.3.10? on Apple Release Mega Patch to Fix 19 Flaws · · Score: 1

    Becasue the one before it was 10.3.8

  4. Re:Warez too! on Finding the Pits In CherryOS · · Score: 1

    yeah and some uf us want a real installer that is MSI compatable....

  5. Re:So why can't the FTC go after... on FTC Shuts Down Fraudulent Antispyware Company · · Score: 1

    because these companies aren't fraudulent... they clearly (in font size 2) state they you are installing 'ad/spy/crap ware'
    as much as you don't want to admit you did click something saying you wanted ad's

    this company was lying to customers by saying they had things installed that were not present (or put there by the scanner) and you need to pay $30 to get it off your system.

  6. Re:Run your own surveillance on Google Exposes Web Surveillance Cams · · Score: 1

    No this is the case why you SHOULD have a firewall and protect your internal network. if your going to be really security conscious you could set up a security-net something internally on 10.x.x.x or what ever and have that locked down and different physical wiring.

  7. Re:how about dual-plaintext messages? on Plausible Deniability From Rockstar Cryptographers · · Score: 1

    but you have the ever present problem of getting the one time pad to the other person in a way that cannot be monitored... (and if you have that why not talk to them that way.)

  8. Re:I think its definitely possible with Bart PE on ReactOS Runs On The XBox · · Score: 1

    Actually the 6 process limit is imposed my Microsoft on their WinPE product it just happens to carry over to what Bart is doing. and Microsoft is off his back because he worked with them to figure out a way not to violate their licensing. technically BartPE is an improperly licensed version of XP but still legal.

  9. Safari? on Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed Launches · · Score: 1

    too bad I cant load the page in Safari i get caught in an infinite loop where it keep reloading...

  10. Re:On behalf of non-geeks, let me be the first to. on Fedora Project Considering "Stateless Linux" · · Score: 4, Informative

    same install image will work on a lot of different hardware i.e a laptop with all the power saving features, IDE hard drives and a P4 M processor that same install image will work on a AMD desktop system with scsi drives...

    thats it in a nutshell....

  11. Re:What crap on Last Words On Service Pack 2 · · Score: 1

    but the problem with the average home user is they dont know what service to turn on... so they would go and turn everything on to get to a file share working... and now your in a worse situation because EVERY service is on

    Ever find that home user that has IPX/SPX and NETbeui as well as IP6 and every other protocol installed else because they were trying to share files to another windows box where they didn't have permissions to the share?

  12. Re:Everyone knows on Alabama IT Whistleblower Fired For Spyware · · Score: 1

    Not true if you have good people working for you they do all the real work and get everything done the boss still looks good... Not that my boss is like this... Hum... yea.. At least I know she's not playing solitaire.

  13. Re:Default Color Link on IBM Announces Chip Morphing Technology · · Score: 1

    Thank God... Only if I had mod points.

  14. Re:Overclocking made safer. on IBM Announces Chip Morphing Technology · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You can do that once... The main thing this helps is when there is a single failure in a production server so now when it happens you are able to schedule down time and then replace that component. Is like when you have your redundant hard drives one goes then you can replace it when you get a chance. (hopefully soon before you have another failure)

  15. Ok so now... on Artificial Prion Created · · Score: 1

    We know how to create it I assume its easier to cure it?? Or create a vaccine? I'm not sure?
    Was it a problem trying to replicate it in a lab or was it too costly to have a lab full of mad cows, just easier with mice?

    of course the Mad cow Link

  16. Re:I don't have the right to play my own music? on Canadian Music Industry Drills Dentists · · Score: 1

    No you are buying the cd for personal use... that does not include the ability to make money off it.

  17. Re:Smart radio on Canadian Music Industry Drills Dentists · · Score: 1

    That and the fact that they uasually play more ads and talk than music....

  18. Re:Now that's a huge hard drive... on Quantum Computing Using Traditional Transistors · · Score: 1

    You may want to look up Bloch spheres for more info.
    It's a representation of the pure state space of a 2-level quantum mechanical system so think of that being the equivalent of a Bit but because you are talking about the surface area of a sphere you can do allot more with it....

  19. Thats not a Tablet on New Hiptop (Sidekick II) Photos · · Score: 1

    its a laptop that has a touch screen... something like this is what should be replacing the portable market shortly...

  20. what about your background? on Video Chat Via Transparent Desktop Overlay · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What if your background isn't completely black or a solid color I know my office back ground isn't a flat color its a bunch of books and papers and folders not so neatly organized that overlaided on a coworkers desktop would really add to the confusion.

    you know it works just as well on my Dell as any other laptop.

  22. Re:Hrm... on Invisible Cloaks, Translucent Walls · · Score: 1

    Actually I think it would only look good from a 180 degree angle or possibly a zero degree angle +/- 10 degrees depending on how you're doing it.

  23. Re:Future of armed infantry on Invisible Cloaks, Translucent Walls · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ... unless you looked at it from different angle.
