    Pretty soon, techies in India will be doing what techies in America are doing: Slaving for low wages....

    This was always going to happen and it is a good thing. The Internet has opened up possibilities and struggles for every form of business (including being an employee).

    Kill or be killed. Always has been and always will be.

  7. Shakey on Ballmer Sends Wakeup Call to Staff · · Score: 5, Interesting
    It seems to me that Ballmer might be feeling a bit shakey after seeing preview versions of Longhorn. Considering this quote:

    "Longhorn will come when we think itâ(TM)s really ready.

    you have to wonder whether he thinks some of the changes are too extreme and possibly of little value to the user.

  12. Big picture on Chinese Moon Base by 2012 - or 2006? · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Why did America strive to reach the moon, but for the ability to claim that they alone had made it.

    I always considered the moon landing an achievement for the entire human race.

    Acknowledged that Americans had the technology, supplied the funding, and risked their people in pursuit of the world-wide dream of getting to the moon.

    Americans have been too the moon, but much more importantly humans have been to the moon.

    Considering that Kazaa does very little advertising, a large amount of this number probably represents people who have "sampled" the software at friend houses etc. and then got the program themselves.

    Of course the same thing also happens with people that sample music before buing it.

  19. Value-added on Kazaa Says On Track to Be Most-Downloaded Program · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Because of it's extreme popularity, I am surprised they have not attempted to provide more "value-added" services with the program. They have the attention of a lot of people when their program runs. This is a huge potential audience for further offerings and helps distance them to the whole "it is just for pirate music!" crap.

    Of course some people do get your information, that's life, but the problems come when the individual companies decide to swap information.

    If Some Company wants to track my dealings with them that is ok. When they share info they effectively spy on me more deeply than they are entitled to as far as I'm concerned, and that goes double for the government.

    Um, excuse me. What about the privacy factor in all this?

    If the government / police are able to track illegal transactions then what is stopping them looking at my normal transactions? I don't want just anybody having access to the information about where I buy everything from my lunch to my porn.

    Then that is not your concern. Sad but true.

    It is something that too many people overlook - you work for an easier time when you are not at work, business is business and NOT your life. Society is far too work focused when it really should rate extremely low in the big scheme of things.

    The worm attempts to terminate the process of various antivirus programs if they are found to be active.

    Are there any programs that allow processes to be "locked on"? It would be useful to restrict attempts to kill certain processes, to people that can provide the root password.

    There are probably heaps of this kind of thing, and another layer of security is always welcome.
