Considering the bugs in the last two Kaspersky enterprise AV releases, I'd say this is a terrible move for Qualcomm. I can't say enough horrible stuff about kaspersky AV.
First I'd stalk you on all systems in the hopsital that I had available to me. I would start fucking with the traffic on your little LDAP server that could be used to cache/query/steal LDAP passwords. I'd refuse to support you as your little calendar mysteriously functions part time. I'd let you start dick swinging and "go up the line".
When you've gone about as far "up the line" as you can go, I'd report you to the medical review board for anything nasty I found about your behaviour at the hospital. Even if you were completely clean, I would serve hospital administration and medical review boards with notice of your recent HIPAA violation. I would possibly call the police and tell them you'd deployed a server which was quite possibly being used to harvest credentials for nefarious activity.
Then I would find your little POS bsd/ldap liveinstall server, unplug the shit out of it, pour kerosene on the thing and burn it in front of your car as you were escorted out the building.
Long story short - I hope your server dies in a fire and you lose your license to practice.
After being on ATT for 7 years, my bill started fluctuating wildly from $60 to $100 even though I wasn't doing anything different from previous billing periods.
After I called ATT and sat on the phone with them for two hours, a representative told me they were "singling out my blackberry plan" and could do nothing about the issue. I gave up, walked into T-mobile while I still had an ATT rep on the phone and let them know I was going to get more minutes and a cheaper plan.
This was three days ago and i think I'm going to call ATT and waste some more of their time while officially closing my account.
On a similar note, my roommates all have ATT and hate their coverage and service. Another friend goes so far as to call her phone an imnotaPhone. ATT service is so bad, they have a piece of software that allows customers to help map out and complain about where the service is bad. They also claim that an 80% success rate on connecting calls is good. Cricket, AllTell, T-Mobile, MetroPCS, smokesignals, homing pidgeons, and morse code all beat ATT. Do yourself a favor, go with anyone but ATT.
Google showing ticker info is nothing new. I think it'd be more interesting to what a Slashdotter's stock portfolio looks like. So many of us are on the bleeding edge of technology, does the trend fall over to our investments?
It seems like a lot of companies get mentioned here that could be great investments (or at least they have great technology). I know there used to be the Wired index. Does anyone have suggestions for the Slashdot index?
My ass! When real creates a download for the FREE version of their player, ON or NEAR their homepage...then I MIGHT install their POS client on a computer NEAR mine.
What are they going to do, pry our compilers from our cold dead hands? I have a feeling that if MS wants to try and regulate security, they'll screw that up worse than they've screwed up their "secure" operating systems.
I'm finding it hard to believe that this guy is running this company. With choice quotes such as " SCO already has like $60 million on hand." I have like fifty like dollars in my like wallet you know.
Great typos like 'oru', 'significcant' and 'plaugarists'.
The brilliant insight into our legal system "The outcome of every legal action is subject to risk. (Just look at the OJ Simpson case.. who would have figured that one) There is significcant risk on both sides of this equation."
The most telling thing that says this guy is an idiot is that he fell for SCO's BS hook line and sinker. If his company truly uses RedHat, as far as I know, he's already been offered indemnification.
Let this guy throw money away, hopefully evolution will take over and make this guys business unfit to survive.
I have read about Michael's behavior before and didn't think it was a big deal. Today really pissed me off though. His antics are completely uncalled for.
I think that if the Slashdot readership can come up with some reasonable successors. We can flood Taco's mailbox and maybe OSDN to see if we can get some change around here.
With all the bitching on this site about enacting grass roots movements and the quality of postings/news. We should start a grassroots movement in our own stomping grounds to initiate changes we want.
Please ban Michael from posting stories on Slashdot. If you create a poll with some new candidates to take his place, I'm sure the Slashdot readers would be more than willing to choose a successor. At a minimum, someone should put the proverbial muzzle on that bitch and stop her barking. Michael's editorial comments are not needed nor wanted in the front page.
As far as I can tell, Slashdot was intended as a forum for people to express their opinions about news stories. Michael can express his opinion in the forums like everyone else. I'm sure he could even create a second account, so nobody knows who is actually posting his blathering idiocy.
The slashdot article referenced in this one links to a page long gone. The tech review article by Bruce Sterling can't be had without giving up your children...Here are the lists for your perusal.
The 10 we use:
Analog Watches
Dot-matrix printers
Typewriters
Broadcast radio
Pagers
Reel-to-reel tape
Vacuum tubes
Fax machines
Mainframe computers
Fortran
The 10 that Died:
Electric Trolley
Pneumatic Post
Amiga
Ribbon Microphone
WordStar
Edison's Wax Cylinder
Slide Rule
Reel Mower
Automatic Watch
Airship
The 10 that deserve to die:
Nuclear Weapons
Coal based power
Internal comustion engine
incandescent light bulbs
land mines
manned spae flight
prisons
cosmetic implants
lie detectors

I was reading about the cameras on the Spirit rover over at cornell.edu. It says that the main camera is using a 1 megapixel CCD. It also says that the camera is unable to distinguish colors, so they have a manual color filter wheel mounted on the front of the camera lenses.
Can anyone explain why something launched 8 months ago is using 1 megapixel technology that can't see color? I understand the data takes a while to get here but it seems they could lower the default picture resolution, then send a take picture at max resolution command when they find something interesting.
I read on the site that the CCD is "space certified", but I'm not really buying that argument as the PCSAT($30,000 off the shelf parts satellite) has been in operation for going on 3 years now.
The price of every response past 1000 is a nickel. Maybe someone can script a random response generator and skew the results?
If we get a few million responses, maybe MS will get the point that they aren't going to ingratiate themselves to Linux users.
No sig here.
Dell's lost already. I ordered a Dell laptop and Printer once. The printer came without a power supply and power cable. After 6 calls to India (two disconnects), I received two USB cables to hook the printer to the computer. 4 more calls and an hour later, I at least got someone from Texas. A 30 minute description later, I got a power cable sent out.
Thank sweet Jesus the car industry can't outsource service for broken cars to Mexico or India. Could you imagine? Dell is still not supporting the end user and has the majority of their jobs out of the country. Dell sucks and I will never buy their products again. Nor will the company I work for.

Good troll sir!
I don't think I've ever seen so many responses to a blatantly stupid comment. You even got me once!
*The 5 Megapixel camera with flash.
*The 800x480 screen resolution.
*TV-OUT
*FM Transmitter for wireless stereo access.
*Internal storage is 32GB, plus the microSD slot adds another 16GB of capacity (soon to be 32GB, when sandisk releases 32GB micro sdhc cards)
*Flash support with a real browser
*24 fps video Most importantly though, IT'S NOT AN APPLE PRODUCT!

I imagine this makes these CU physicists sure candidates for another nobel prize.
I feel honored to have taken physics at CU. (The #1 party school in America and a BADASS physics dept to boot!).

Why do they refer to it as H2G2 (Hitchhikers to Guide to)? I would think it should be written HG2G (Hitchhikers Guide To the Galaxy...
