  1. lastpass on How Your Username May Betray You · · Score: 1

    Well, since using lastpass, It's been much easier for me to create various usernames and I have been doing so. I no longer care to have a complicated username that's unique just so I can remember it everywhere. I just pick whatever comes to mind. Thanks lastpass

    " PayPal's move is unlikely to result in many more people boycotting the company"

    well, it resulted in my boycotting them. in the process of closing my account right now.

  3. Re:What's a district attorney to do... on "Accidental" Download Sending 22-Year-Old Man To Prison · · Score: 2, Interesting

    nonsense. The which hunt is not attack. Attack would be to get the picture and sent it to the judge, jury and everyone in the court room. That way they're all guilty if they "accidentally" get the picture on their computer.

    A friends brother left their computer with auto-accept on DCC and someone uploaded a kiddie pic on his computer. He also faced 25-years in prison. The judge saw past the prosecutors nonsense and put him on probation. But before that, FBI raided his house, and took computers and what not.

    This is all BULLSHIT. FBI can go to hell since they're clearly attacking innocent people.

  4. Re:Interesting.. on Yahoo Exec Speaks Against DRM · · Score: 3, Insightful

    this is probably not by choice but what the industry demands. Yahoo doesn't like it, and is trying to open discussion for change perhaps?

  6. The hire by committe is retarded on Google's Ten Golden Rules · · Score: 1

    I interviewed for a position where i was required to know perl.
    The guy who interviewed me immidiatly admitted not to knowing any perl, but only ruby and python. Appearantly the guy told the committe I didn't know perl because that's the feedback I got.

    All the committe get is appearantly a piece of paper with scribbled down notes of which they try to base their decisions.

    Luckily the recruiter realized that with 7 years of perl experience, it didn't seem likely, and arranged for more interviews.

    After 8 hours of interviews, my referalls having been called, and having positive feedback, I was told that they were closing the position indefinatly, because they were confused about the requirements for the position.

    I was NOT impressed.

  7. Re:Refund on Marquette Dental Student Suspended For Blogging · · Score: 1

    even to the federal government? I've always been a bit confused about gag-orders.

    I'd like to say that noone should ever be able to hamper your constitutional rights, but thinking about Non-disclosure agreements already makes that iffy.

  8. Re:Hmm on Burn the CD on Both Sides · · Score: 1

    I didn't mean it as an advert at all. I just thought the technology was interesting. Doesn't all technology articles qualify as adverts otherwise?

  9. Re:Yeah... and? on Oxford Students Hack University Network · · Score: 1

    Sure, but who doesn't have the rights to know the security of your personal confidental information?

    Sending the two students for disciplinary action is counterproductive.

  10. Re:Vs. Debian? on Stormix Technologies Shut Down · · Score: 1

    I'm a Debian fan, but Stormix's install is sooo much easier. Personally, I won't use the easy Stormix install, then do a dist-upgrade to get it all converted to debian. Nothing beat it's easy tho.
