  6. ISA server on Microsoft: We Make Hackers Obsolete · · Score: 2, Interesting

    anyone know the ISA Server's track record? I hear it's very secure and it's firewall engine inspects packet data and not just source and destination address. Didn't they win a secure computing competition recently using the ISA server?

    Your thoughts are appreciated

  9. Re:Fallacy of the excluded middle on The Darwinian Revolution: Science Red in Tooth and Claw · · Score: 1

    This Dicohotomy or 'All or None' attitude is exactly
    what politicians do. Republicans wind up being pro-life Dems. Pro-choice
    until they are both blue in the face and ranting foaming at the mouth Zelots.
    the moderates get disenchanted, and disenfranchised and then they don't vote
    then the only people who are voting are the zelots.

    Democracy is the worst political system on earth, except for every other political system- Churchill

  10. Jeremy Hogan Spokesmodel for RH??? on Is Red Hat the Microsoft of Linux? · · Score: 1

    I think this is a good tipoff that RH is not like Microsoft...

    Microsoft would never let a jeremy hogan do the talking for it's company and if a jeremy hogan did work for microsoft he wouldn't dare get into it with the /. crowd for fear of losing his job or being sued or reprimanded etc etc....

    Nice reply Jeremy, you still have that 'sparkle' good to see it!

  11. I wonder how Dr Evil would feel about this... on Solar Surgery · · Score: 1

    You know, I have one simple request...and that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads. Now evidently, my cycloptic colleague informs me that that can't be done. Ah, can you please remind me what I pay you people for?
    Honestly, throw me a bone here...what do we have?

  16. Blood Diamonds. on Diamonds - Are They Really Worth the Cost? · · Score: 1

    There was a good piece about this on NPR about
    2 months ago and the reccomendation was this; use
    the internet to shop around as much as possible
    to find the best deal. The diamond industry is
    hurting because of the internet and the flood of
    blood (conflict) diamonds in the market.
    Be patient and find the best deal, also go to
    antique stores in the country and pawn shops
    (she'll never know) ;) btw: Cubit Zirconia??

    serioiusly: I owuldnt worry about funding
    terrrorism... the CIA has that covered

  17. The Bastardization of Cooking on Ask Alton Brown How Food+Heat=Cooking · · Score: 1

    Italian Cooking skills have been passed on to me from my Grandparents and Mom. If i do say so myself I am a pretty good cook. Also as a restaurant entusiast I do enjoy being a bit of an critic. However I have found that NO 'italian' restaurant has ever come close to my grandfathers cooking and rarely is equal to my cooking. I'm sure that there are Chinese, French and Spanish cooks that feel the same way. The Food at a restaurant never compares to the food from home. And sometimes it's all Wrong! As one of 3 italian residents in Seattle (we each do 8 hour shifts) I am amazed as what passes for Pizza around here! How do these places stay in business? Pizza and Pasta (mushy pasta, bitter sauce, canned meatballs and lumpy gooey crust) in seattle are my pet peeves... what are some of yours?

  18. Lethal Looking? Re:Not at all on AT-ATs Coming to a Forest Near You · · Score: 1

    The only thing lethal about it is that the operator's sillouette is available for all with an AK47 to sight in on. If you ever talk to any engineers who have worked in a combat zone a common complaint about heavy machinery is that sometimes the operator is a perfect target, often an experienced combat heavy machinery operator will choose a crappier machine for the job if it makes them less of a target. If someone can see your sillouette .. they'll take a shot at you.... especially if you owe them money.

    The best defense sometimes in combat is a good shovel.

  19. Re:how is this any different on Attack Of The Dreamcasts · · Score: 2, Interesting

    how is this different from throwing a boot floppy into an unattended machine that loads an OS and scripst to do whatever it is said intruder wants to do?

    Security is only as good as your vigilance and your Doorman!

    Do you _Know_ everyone in your office?

    This is where your social skills or lack there of can be either an asset or a detriment.

    Introduce yourself around Sysadmins... find out who those mysterious personell are... Heck you might just make some friends!
