  1. Re:BS on Microsoft Plans To Sell Anti-Virus Software · · Score: 1

    No that's not what I mean, I would think the opposite, it should be bundled with the OS and considered a critical component of the OS, not something to be charged for. This might bring OS publishers to begin thinking that AV protection is a critical part of an OS. I am also not only talking security flaws, but actual threats that can not be prevented by a patch to the OS, such as unsafe executable attachments. Although it might put a few companies out of business, all of the people angry with Microsoft's lack of security would finally get what they have asked for.

  2. BS on Microsoft Plans To Sell Anti-Virus Software · · Score: 1

    I can't stomach the argument that MS shouldn't bundle AV software with their OS. Why the heck not??? IMHO, every OS would benefit substantially from changing the perception of antivirus protection from a software package, to an integrated part of any respectable OS. Funny, we allow OS developers to build many things in except for features which already exist as stand-alone apps.

  3. Re:How I Organize? on How Do You Organize Your Data? · · Score: 1

    I have had a similar problem
    i made a folder called personal, one called general workmail one called Server Issues, one for each software product I work on etc. Then I got emails about how a software product had problems interfacing with a server. Does this go in Server Issues or under the software product? It would be nice if you could make outlook links in one folder. I suppose you could save a copy of the email to each folder?

  4. bad implementation? on Seattle Monorail & California High Speed Rail Move Forward · · Score: 1

    I am very suprised a city the size of seattle has taken that long to get proper rapid transit. Look to your north to vancouver and have a look at a system that has been in place since 1986. it is about time for seattle. just curious, why wouldnt you use a higher speed system than a monorail (maybe something similar to the skytrain in vancouver?) better than nothing though
