  15. for the ladies on Linux For Housewives. XP For Geeks. · · Score: 1

    You know, this was such an easy one to see.

    for the past ten plus years I would download a copy of some Linux distro and install it on a spare PC. It would be bloated, ugly, techy, just too much for the normal casual internet user. I would then strip it of it's bulk(emac anyone), make it look super pretty and super easy, throw some Hello Kitty like wallpaper on it, then all of a sudden the girlfriend at the time was interested in using it!

    ...as for XP for geeks? Someone is smoking some serious Bill Gates produced crack.

  16. Flickr Dichtomies on Online "Public" Spaces Don't Guarantee Rights · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I have to say Flickr is by far one the most disappointing experiences I have had online.

    I am a professional photographer who uses Flickr as a means to promote my craft. I have even paid for a "pro" account to ensure consistency. Well, Flickr not only has taken censorship into their own hands, but have ZERO support for asking why and when and how to correct the situation. I have an account where I moderate my own material and have done it very well. BUT somewhere along the lines something happened and Flickr has made my account inaccessible for non-Flickr members and hard for even Flickr members to view. I tried to contact them through normal email channels many, many times with zero results and even rude replies from a moderator named "Terrence". I then went the phone method with Yahoo(their parent) only to find Flickr offers no support other than online, which has proven useless.

    I have now lost noticeable business and online presence because of this, and all I was looking for was a little help. I have even thought to take Flick to small claims court for not only my membership price(which they refuse to refund) but also the time wasted and lost income. I also have fellow photographers who have lost their entire Flickr archive due to Flickrs weird self censorship.

    I wonder how many people this has happened to. Now this article appears to show I am not the only one.

    .... THIS GUY has a blank password for his computer. Look at him!

    That is soooo a fake mustache and hairpiece. He has to be a double agent working for the opposition. Probably Target or Kmart or something like that. The whistleblower dude probably got to close to revealing the truth. Lucky he didn't end up in some cement shoes or some cheap knock off Chinese shoes that TJX sells at their stores.

  25. Kay Sara Sara on What Should We Do About Security Ethics? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Just let them be.

    I too worked for a company that catered to the people that made money for it. $40 billion+ in assets at the time. No matter how hard I tried security ALWAYS took a back seat to profit, ease of use, and not rocking the boat. I was the head of network security, there was not even a CSO. The hierarchy wasn't even in place. One day I even saw a live network hack in progress as one of our network engineers was using a VNC server not protected by our corporate firewall! Someone on the outside had found it and started using his desktop! I couldn't believe my eyes! In the end it came down to me just accepting that this company, and a vast majority of corporations, will always and forever be run this way...until, of course, the proverbial $#It hits the fan, at which point I didn't want to be there.

    So I left and never looked back. I suggest that this also be your course of action before the one left holding the bag is you.
