  1. WTF is the big deal? on Want Flash Player On a MacBook Air? Download It Yourself · · Score: 1

    Sorry to be so blunt, but wtf is the big deal if I have to download it myself? As a SysAdmin, I actually much prefer that systems don't come with Flash pre-installed. First off it is a security hazard; it seems like the Windows version has an update every other week. Secondly, there are absolutely scenarios where I wouldn't want Flash on my system - this saves me the step of disabling it before locking down the system and deploying it. Third, if you install Windows XP *gasp* you have to go download the latest version of Flash. I haven't bothered to check to see if this is the case with Windows 7, so I won't comment on that. I much prefer to install only the software I want vs. having a bunch of 3rd party junkg pre-installed.

    OK - I am not trying to tick anyone off (and this isn't targetted at anyone), but these Korea jokes really have to stop ...

    According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Jennings Wikipedia he works for a company called CHG. They are a health care placement firm.

  4. eBay on Duke University Students Receive iPods · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I just checked ebay and I am surprised that I haven't found any "Limited Edition Duke iPod's" for sale yet.

  5. Re:I already had a crash on Less is More: Thunderbird 0.7 Review · · Score: 1

    Whoops - I am a moron. With all of the name changes lately I was thinking of Firefox, not Thunderbird. Sorry about my idiocy.

  6. I already had a crash on Less is More: Thunderbird 0.7 Review · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I love the new version - the interface seems 'clearner almost'. Also I like the extensions option in the menu that will bring up a page full of extensions that you can download. I did have one crash with it though. I had 2 windows open, and mulitple tabs in each window. All of a sudden it just puked on me .... oh well - it still kicks ass.

  7. Re:So WTF? on FBI Investigates Open Records Request · · Score: 1

    Is that really any sort of solution? Paralizing the government?

    Sure they may repsond by restructuring the branch, or they may just ignore the sudden increase & the next thing you know you are standing in line for 8 hours a day looking for info. Most people will give up long before that - which defeats the point.

  8. So WTF? on FBI Investigates Open Records Request · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So now everytime someone requests info through the FOIA they will be questioned by the FBI or CIA? Is the government trying to discourage this?

    Its kinda usless to have a right if you are harassed every time you use it.

    MS has confirmed that the code is real. Story here (washington post).

  10. Re:Somewhere in Redmond... on Microsoft Sued for Defective Software · · Score: 1

    I personally like SARS 2.0 Maybe we can even get some service packs for it.
