    the biggest beefs i had when i switched from windows to Mac was the abscence of Quicken, or anything similar.. so yay!

    the story doesn't get ruined by too much plot leakage. T2 would have been great if you didn't know that arnie was the good guy.....

    they stick to the story on this. I don't mind chaning bits to make it flow, but most of Dredd made me cringe....

    It amused me to find that Outlook Web Access for Exchange runs better through Konqueror on Linux than it does on Windows... (although the abscence of drag and drop is a shame)

  9. Re:MS wants you to host one internally on Microsoft Windows Update and Network Bandwidth? · · Score: 2, Informative

    buy?? Windows Update Services is free, mate. Install it on your server, set the clients up via GPO, and off it goes, saves bandwidth and admin time by the bucketload.

  10. Re:Maybe their lawyers should ask me on AOL Sues Five Spam Companies · · Score: 1

    it was probably not locked for the same reasons yours wasn't. I've had millions of mails flow through one misconfigured box, and had nothing but derision from fellow admins. It happens, so mate, i feel for you...

    na, it's still available, and the floppy is now a no-cost optional extra. don't want one, don't have one, but it won't cost you if you do, providing you ask.

  12. Re:There has got to be a catch.. on Running .NET on FreeBSD? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    no catch! this is actually the point of the .NET framework, right once, run anywhere, what Java tried, and never quite achieved :(

    The only 'catch' is that there needs to be a native virtual machine, which most platforms (apart from MS) don't have yet, but check out the Mono project for a Linux implementation.

    yeah, and if you break copyright laws, you get punished if you're caught. But by enabling others to break laws, makes you even more guilty....

    Sorry, but where is the *legitimate* use of this? In most other cases, there can be claimed that it wasn't designed to circumvent Copy Protection (deCSS for example), but this blatantly was. So nope, no sympathy.

    No :)

    But people pretending to be you to carry out things you wouldn't want carried out is not fun when the boys in blue come knocking (esp. whe you're out of the country not knowing of you're doors have been booted in while you're away....)

  18. well... on Do Privacy Fears Allow Terrorism? · · Score: 5, Insightful
    I used to say "if you;ve done nothing wrong, you've nothing to hide". Then my identity got used for illegal purposes, which wasn't fun, and damn near killed my career.

    So no, we're not luddites, we'd just like to be able to live our lives without having to worry about people ripping us off....

  22. Re:good on Dictionary Spammer Fined $55,000 for Spam Attack · · Score: 1
    Very true, and hindsight is a wonderful thing. But since none of the people concerned had ever dealt with mail servers before, it never crossed their minds to test for things like open relays. Or test anything for that matter... But it bl**dy well will now :)

    Incidentally, it took around 10 hours before we were found...

  23. good on Dictionary Spammer Fined $55,000 for Spam Attack · · Score: 1

    as someone who recently had an email server relay raped (we didn't think it was accessible to the open, turns out someone had misconfigured it), and knowing full well the time and stress I had to sort it out, this is great news. Although, i'd have preferred five minutes in a sound proof room with a baseball bat, but hey... It's about time people realise that stuff like this has very real consequences...

    now, when microsoft do this, they get blasted.

    why should mono waste their time reinventing the wheel. this oppurtunity should be taken before it turns into another java, which has so much promise and then fell flat on its face.

  25. Re:In other news on MS Withdraws From WC3 Web Services Working Group · · Score: 1

    define 'stronger implementation'? Since the standard belongs to Microsoft, all the Mono project is doing is implementing it. Does IBM or Microsoft have a stronger Java Virtual Machine implementation? (okay, don't answer that :p )
