  1. uhh, why? on De-Anonymizing Social Network Users · · Score: 4, Insightful

    All you have to do is post a stupid little survey to Facebook and millions of idiots will fill the silly thing out giving you their mother's maiden name, street they grew up on, and last 4 digits of their social security in return for generating a few sentences of nonsense.

  2. too broad. on Army Asks Its Personnel to Wikify Field Manuals · · Score: 2, Insightful

    as a consultant that has such CAC card (no, it's not repetitive)

    I believe the access too broad for this to be effective.. Although there does exist STRONG accountability within the credentialed system, no anonymous access or anything allowed on the network. This will probably work ok, but there will be much more overhead in the moderation and administration than exists even in wikipedia out publicly.

  3. Re:Money vs Quicken on Show Me The Money - Microsoft Money Vs. Quicken · · Score: 1

    That forecast feature based on bills & deposits coming up is pretty cool. it will also try and forecast based on last years data (last june, you spent $85 a week on beer) so it will optionally plug those type of trends into the forecast.

    if this type of charting & trending presented automatically does rock. might be a fun summer project to try and plug something like that into an open-source app.

  4. Re:Hold on on Show Me The Money - Microsoft Money Vs. Quicken · · Score: 5, Interesting

    MS Money is basically a browser-app these days, complete with "ads" for stock/portfolio management websites cleverly disguised of course. I liked it well enough, it came free with my notebook from dell, until i started hearing Internet Explorer "clicks" when i was "browsing" my accounts. A few clicks later, i realized i was actually on an internet site. putting my personal banking information that close to the internet without me being clearly aware of any delineation made me nervous.

  11. SAVE THOSE CONTRACTS! on How Much Broadband Usage is Too Much? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    you got a contract when you signed up for service.. if it fails to specify a bandwidth limitation, this is a scare tactic and nothing more..

    nope, states are requiring fingerprints to issue a drivers license now...

  13. TUMI on Recommendations For A Good Laptop Bag? · · Score: 1

    TUMI safecases are the best... I've had mine for 5 years now, it's leather and still looks very good... Lifetime warrany on it, as well as the contents, never had to use it tho, those things are awesome..

    i've got the backpack version

  14. Re:Dinner on Evolution 1.5 has Been Released · · Score: 4, Interesting

    around my company, if you don't put lunch & dinner on your calendar and mark it "private appointment" chances are good some schmuck will try and schedule a meeting or a conference call or something during that time...

  15. For all of you who will say "This won't work" on Spamholes Fighting Spammers · · Score: 0, Insightful

    for whatever reason you say it, I ask you this "What solution have you thought about and coded?"

  16. Who will build our digital future? on Linux in the Developing World · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The same type of people who built our digital past..

    here's a hint, it wasn't megacorp!

    megacorps just figure out how to make it for the masses...

  17. what we've got here is... on Microsoft to Charge for FAT File System · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Failure to litigate...

    heh...

    no seriously, FAT was convenient and fairly standard.. all microsoft is going to do is drive manufacturers to other (hopefully free software) schemes.... That's when we all win! THANKS MICROSOFT!

  18. then don't look for culture in web pages... on Web Pages Are Weak Links in the Chain of Knowledge · · Score: 4, Interesting

    honestly, the transient nature of webpages makes it an unsuitable medium for the long term establishment of "culture" our categorization happy, buzz-word ridden nature so commonly prevalent will have to find a new term for what is the web. boo-freaking-hoo.. meanwhile i'll keep doing my thing, posting pics for my family to see, putting calendar events up on the web so my homebrew-club will know when we're meeting and not worry about any "culture" i might be potentially creating then destroying when i take stuff back down.

    man i need coffee, insomnia is a bitch...

    look in

    c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\

    why do you think those files
    a) don't have extensions

    nip it in the bud!

  23. Re:Good Thing(tm) on PostgreSQL Inc. Open Sources Replication Solution · · Score: 5, Informative

    clearly the poster does not understand the intricacies of replication in a real-time environment.

    you can not pull the data out of table and stuff it into another table under even a reasonable workload.

    but i understand this is slashdot and technical relevance need not necessarily apply.

  24. waahh.. on Blaster Writer Caught · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    NO! You did something to deserve to be there, jail is not intended to be a happy fun place. Respect for a FELON?! please...

  25. and??? on Microsoft Caste System · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Contract programmers get a considerably better rate and overtime pay... They also are a bit more secure as they have a signed contract for X hours, which is legally actionable if not met...

    boohoo, they don't get other benefits, but that's just the tradeoff..
