  1. GoDaddy Does It Right on Sony Forgets To Pay For Domain, Hilarity Ensues · · Score: 1

    Any time I have a domain about to expire, GoDaddy is right on top of things with a phone call; Really good follow-up as well. I guess Network Solutions is more akin the government. I'm sure if one renews for ten years, the IT guy that was there at the beginning has moved on and his email address goes no where, except a honeypot.

  2. Yeah House! on US House Passes Permanent Ban On Internet Access Taxes · · Score: 2

    Hopefully the Senate will follow right away and they won't try to kill it with stupid politics.

  3. Patch Tuesday on Why Your Phone Gets OTA Updates But Your Car Doesn't · · Score: 1

    Great, every Wednesday morning I'm late for work because my car won't start.

  4. Re:Level the playing field on How Good Are Charter Schools For the Public School System? · · Score: 1

    Special privileges like firing the young and keeping the old? Seniority trumps productivity? Nah.

  5. 4th Amendment on US Customs Destroys Virtuoso's Flutes Because They Were "Agricultural Items" · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Why do we as Americans give up our 4th Amendment protections if we fly?

  6. Putin Schooling Obama on Snowden Says His Mission Is Accomplished · · Score: 1

    And by extension, US.

  7. IRS on Judge Orders Child Porn Suspect To Decrypt His Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    Too bad he doesn't work for the IRS, he'd be immune.

  8. Stop Exhaling on the CO2 Monitor! on "Dramatic Decline" Warning For Plants and Animals · · Score: 1

    Ever breathe out on one of those conference room CO2 detectors?

  9. Iron Maiden on Transfusions Reverse Aging Effects On Hearts In Mice · · Score: 1

    Get your iron maiden!

  10. OMG, He's Running Again on Bill Clinton Says 'Paint Your Roofs White' · · Score: 1

    This will be sticky with a Democrat incumbent, but a leaderless one at that.

  11. War on North Korea Training "Cyberwarriors" Abroad · · Score: 1

    We're technically still at war with North Korea, at least they still think we are. We're really going to get them now...

  12. No Cracking Allowed on Cellphones Get Government Chips For Disaster Alert · · Score: 1

    Signed: the government

  13. Re:Poor cop-out on Google Loses Autocomplete Defamation Case · · Score: 1

    Except Google killed themselves by editing certain material (i.e. anything that deals with Islam).

  14. Google Buys Sprint on Google Voice Teams Up With Sprint · · Score: 1

    Would make AT&T's purchase of T-Mobile USA easier for the regulators.

  15. App Stores vs Corporate Sales on Google Hiring Android Devs To Close the 'Apps Gap' · · Score: 1

    Who cares if individual users buy apps from the Apple store (small change and best of luck to Steve). The bigger prize here are the corporations who are only now being weened off of Blackberrys (even if QNX will run the Google apps).

  16. Desert Southwest on NASA Says Moon Has More Water Than Great Lakes · · Score: 1

    Good, let the desert southwest get their water from the moon!

  17. Re:Sounds like the excuse.... on Emergency Dispatcher Fired For Facebook Drug Joke · · Score: 1

    In this day and age, you need to work your butt off to keep those gold plated benefits!

  18. Real Simple with Our Revit Application on Benchmark Software For Windows 7 Rollout? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is specialized for architects but we went from a five minute "save to central" time cost with Windows XP 64Bit to two seconds on Windows 7. Our cost to deploy ROI was achieved in one week's work. "Save to Central" is an Autodesk feature for writing to a SQL Server database on a server. Talk about low hanging fruit. Management surely understands that when people are no longer standing around yapping, more money is being made; not to mention happier workers as well! Your results may vary. Of course with Windows, any new deployment is faster on the machine than a stale DLL hell one.

  19. Re:The sad irony... on Texas Schools Board Rewriting US History · · Score: 1

    Wow, I had no idea our textbooks had drifted so far to the left.

  20. Re:Replacing good parenting with tech solutions .. on What Advice For a Single Parent As Server Admin? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I agree but one should still be able to review logs of places the kids (or their friends) have been. I'm their parent, not just their friend.

  21. Just Detect the Phones on School System Considers Jamming Students' Phones · · Score: 1

    Buy one of these for each classroom: http://www.universalpart.com/Cellular-Phone-emf-Detection-Meter_item_6111.html That will detect the signal from a phone, then someone is busted.

  22. California Law? on Google Search Flagging Everything As Potentially Harmful · · Score: 1
    Since Google does business in California, perhaps the warning is something they will need to put on all of their search results just like this all over California:

    WARNING: Chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, or birth defects or other reproductive harm may be present in foods or beverages sold ...

  23. Preferred People on Google Challenging Proposition 8 · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that Google prefers gay people to Catholics, Blacks and Hispanics? Seems like Google is being anti-family, if that is the case. Google would like folks who will work twelve hour days, eat dinner at work and continue to work. Google is this Star Trek Enterprise world where you have the kids thrown in an episode, every once in a while. If Google is going to toss out this level of care, perhaps they need to look at an even larger picture. Their care for Africa is wonderful but one would have to take that perceived level of care with a grain of salt if Google doesn't have a bigger picture for humanity.

  24. Re:"Compromised?" on Red Hat, Fedora Servers Compromised · · Score: 1

    ...On a related note, you should not use Fedora in a production environment anyway. That's what RHEL is for. Fedora = Testing. RHEL = Stable. At least in theory.

    Fedora is for those that didn't want change from running Redhat through the years. Those with a higher tolerance for change went to CentOS and the more daring to Debian (the really daring may have tried ports from FreeBSD in between and returned).

  25. Re:Too little too late... on 35 Articles of Impeachment Introduced Against Bush · · Score: 1

    All you tarnish is the office. Too bad for the next dude to get elected.
