  1. Re:Let's all hear it folks on PearPC Trying to Sue CherryOS · · Score: 1

    What choice do artists but to sign to major labels if they want any success? I try to support smaller independent labels as much as possible, but they don't have the marketing power of the larger labels nor the finances.

  2. Prior Art on Microsoft Receives Patent For Double-Click · · Score: 0, Redundant

    There has to be prior art for this!! Or has the world gone totaly mad

  3. About time on "Buffalo Spammer" Gets 3.5 to 7 Years · · Score: 1

    About time the fool got what he deserved. Hopefully this is the start of a trend.

  4. Re:You better patch them first on Linux Admininstration Resources? · · Score: 1

    In fairness, the Advanced Bash Scripting Guide here is a great resource for people wanting a good reference to bash scripting and shell scripting in general.

  5. Re:Spam on Gmail Users Get A Storage Boost [updated] · · Score: 1

    I'm using gmail, and their spam filter is quite good. I can guarentee that if gmail takes off, spammers will target it and try to get past the filter.

    What happens when accounts are abandoned and the spam then piles up??

  6. Spam on Gmail Users Get A Storage Boost [updated] · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That's one hell of a lot of spam storage!!

    Seriously though, you do have to wonder how much spam google with end up storing.

  7. Re:Zonealarm Failure on Sasser Worm Disruption Growing · · Score: 1

    Honest Answear: laziness.
    It's a home PC used by my parents, which has never been infected by anything in 4 years of operation. I don't even use it anymore as 14000bps is unusable when used to a University connection.

  8. Re:Zonealarm Failure on Sasser Worm Disruption Growing · · Score: 1

    Updates like that take a different priority when the computer is in the back-end of no-where and connects to net once a week at 14000bps to check mail. Even download AV updates is a feat

    And although I can't check at the moment, Zonealarm was set at high security for untrusted connections which Dialup is part of. Personal doesn't give give all that many options for exactly what ports it closes.

  9. Zonealarm Failure on Sasser Worm Disruption Growing · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I have zonealarm setup on a home PC and it failed to keep Sasser out. So much for a personal firewall.
    And yes there is AV on it, but it was infected before the updates had even come down.
