  1. The best thing to do on Legal Actions of School Against a Proxy's Host? · · Score: 1

    is keep the proxy down, for the rest of the year watch your p's and q's graudate, and forget it ever happened. If they're not going to put it on your record then you should be okay for college too. BUT, if you do to go to college, I wouldn't try this shit there. It's a little more serious there where it can and will haunt you the rest of your career life.

    Oh and the paypal link on the site. That's nice.

  2. Re:Linux on the desktop on Lower Saxony KDE Migration · · Score: 1

    But it's still a score 1 for the OS movement because they're going to Linux and not going from Solaris to Microsoft.

    This is also good since the last few days we've seen some slightly negative press (translate FUD) about Linux.

  3. Re:9 months!#$ on Nuclear Agency Worker Information Hacked · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The incident happened last September but top Energy Department officials were not told about it until this week, prompting the chairman of the House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Committee to demand the resignation of the head of the NNSA.

    It's different than telling the public.

  4. 9 months!#$ on Nuclear Agency Worker Information Hacked · · Score: 1

    Why did it take them 9 months to be told of this?

    You would think one of the Net Admins would have looked @ those logs in the last 9 months. Or something would have been found out of whack?

    The NNSA is a semi-autonomous arm of the Energy Department and also guards some of the U.S. military's nuclear secrets and responds to global nuclear and radiological emergencies.

    That's just great. So for 9 months someone that shouldn't has had access? Something just isn't right lately with our gov't security.

    This is sickly scary. It's a shame people have allergies and can't have pets, but they make medicine for that. It's just not right to be making genetically altered animals. They are the way they were made.

  8. Re:Why is everyone amazed? on Google Committed to Chinese Business · · Score: 1

    I'm saying that business is business. They don't just have the belief of "do no evil". They also have the belief to profit. Plus, if they go against China, then how is that "do no evil" if their breaking China's law? I don't agree with China's laws, or all the laws of America for that matter, but until the laws are changed, if you want to do business in those countries then follow the law. It's no different than stores requiring shoes and a shirt. So, would you be upset if they didn't serve you because you're going against their policy?

  9. Why is everyone amazed? on Google Committed to Chinese Business · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Google is above all a business. A business is to make money. They stood for American rights when the gov't wanted documents. It seems everyone is forgetting this when the Google China stories creep up. Consider: If you own a business and you open an office in China and you want to make money....will you defy the Chinese gov't? Or will you conform to their laws and policies?

    We are more than willing to invade another country and lose 3000 soldiers for oil, but we seem to take issue with losing 7 lives on a space trip.

    So you are saying, then, it's okay to for the 3000 soldiers to die for their country?

  14. no evil? on Google Releases Google Browser Sync Extension · · Score: 1

    Given that the gov't wants all information about what people search for, this calls into question the No Evil theme Google protrays? You know the gov't will be asking (see demanding) for this information.

  15. Faith in NASA on NASA Clears Shuttle Fuel Tank for Flight · · Score: 4, Interesting

    My faith in NASA has deminished over the years. I'm only 25, but I can't recall any mission in the last 10 years (well a really public one any way) that didn't have some kind of hiccup. Even the Mars Rovers. But don't get me wrong. I hope this really works well and NASA is getting back on their feet and restoring their image. But when it launches and gets into orbit and there isn't any "Houston we have a problem....'s", then and only then I'll break out the bubbly.

  16. Idiots, all of them. on Social Engineering Using USB Drives · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't you be suspicious if you saw a few usb drives laying around in the parking lot? It's a shame, though, this worked so well. It just goes to the ignorance of network security/policies set in a company. Or, worse, blatant disregard. They should all be fired.

  17. Not a bad idea? on PS3 Apparently A Computer · · Score: 1

    Even with computers games need more and more resources. So you need to upgrade a computer. I dont think it will be a hardware compatability issues. I'm sure you'll have to buy propietary hardware for the PS3 only, but that's not a bad thing here. Really it isn't. So in the future if it needs an upgrade for something, I wont have to buy a PS 200 or whatever because I can just upgrade hardware. Sounds logical actually.

  18. Police? on How Not to Steal a Sidekick · · Score: 1

    So, I suppose this isn't technically stealing, but it could be if you find something and keep it. So with the pictures being on the thing, why not go to the police and tell them the story and fill out a report? Apparently all the information is there.

  20. Security risk? on How Not to Steal a Sidekick · · Score: 2, Informative
    • FTA:

    UPDATE #2: Some people are asking how we have their pics and AOL name. The way a Sidekick works, is that when you use it, all the data on it get's uploaded automatically to the T-Mobile server. So pictures you have taken, AOL names and passwords u have used, etc are all on the server. So when my friend turned on her new Sidekick and put her new SIM card in, all the data downloaded on to her phone. And that's how we have everything.

    Now, that's a great thing so you really don't lose anything....but with alot of information been getting, um, lost lately in the media news, I dont know if I like things like that located centrally somewhere. If I lose something like that, I perfer it to all be lost and I have to start from scratch. Just like a hacked server. You don't just do backup restores, you reload from scratch.
  21. Here's a ? on Apache down, IIS up · · Score: 1

    How many Microsoft servers were running Apahce for MS instead of IIS? (I'm sure its a low amount)

    Sun is the sum of sites running SunONE, iPlanet-Enterprise, Netscape-Enterprise, Netscape-FastTrack, Netscape-Commerce, Netscape-Communications, Netsite-Commerce & Netsite-Communications.

    Microsoft is the sum of sites running Microsoft-Internet-Information-Server, Microsoft-IIS, Microsoft-IIS-W, Microsoft-PWS-95, & Microsoft-PWS.

    Nothing states what the sum of Apache was. Are they just assuming it's Linux only?

    Well, now this sounds like your're in the wrong job. If you like LAMP so much and you want know LAMP and you want to work with LAMP.............hop on dice.com and find a LAMP job?

    Now I know someone will reply that this isn't that easy to do and jobs aren't out there or whatever. But if you're unhappy at your job, it causes stress, which causes tension, which causes problems. I know. I'm in a manufacturing job and I'm actively working towards certs in Solaris so I can get the hell out. But I'm working on it. From what it sounds like, your just not wanting to look to get out?
