  1. How to convince my employer to switch? on German Government Advises Public To Stop Using IE · · Score: 2, Insightful

    At work we use MSIE 7 on Vista. Although my employer is open to alternatives it must be strictly planned before making such a switch. Is it possible to switch to, say, Firefox, while still retaining update possibilities? All users are limited in rights, so no admin rights, which Firefox normally needs to be updated. Imho Mozilla needs to work harder to get companies to run their software.

  2. Re:Oracle 'Support' is worthless on Oracle's Take On Red Hat Linux · · Score: 1

    That's not a fact but an opinion. Please try to give factual information when posting plain opinions. Okay, it may have become worse since they moved parts to Romania and Egypt. All good engineers that left in e.g. other European countries were replaced by Egyptians who were much cheaper but unfortunately less skilled, both technical and in communication with the customer.

  3. Re:Total Flamebait on Oracle's Take On Red Hat Linux · · Score: 1

    The problem with Oracle Support is that an issue is handled by a single product support team - and I have been part of such a team. The team is specialized in its own stack and can hardly look at the other side of a wall. There are two walls to throw the service request over: the first wall is towards a different team (which will defend the wall against intruding service requests), the other wall is a different timezone. Urgent SRs may need to travel across the globe. That means another engineer will start from scratch investigating the problem. This all does not contribute to a quick resolution process.

  4. Beta 1 released on Firefox 2.0 'Beta Candidate 1' Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Beta 1 is now in the releases tree, as of today: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/rel eases/2.0b1/

  5. Full list of commands on Symantec Users, Start Your Keyloggers · · Score: 1

    Yes there are more commands, as you can see here in google's cache (originally from a symantec.com report that is no longer available). Scroll down to Appendix A.

  6. Re:How 'bout 3? on When Should You Buy Your Kid A Laptop? · · Score: 1

    Yes, my son is also almost 4, and he is able to browse the Internet - Bob the Builder and stuff like that. Kids games are usually built for older computers, and the PCs at school are also not very new. One thing: we bought him a Kids mouse that fits his hands better than the regular size mice.

  7. Wireless keyboard security on The Security Risk of Keyboard Clicks · · Score: 1

    I was also wondering how easy it is to decipher wireless keyboard signals.

  8. Canon - motor noise recorded on tape on Reviews for Digital Camcorders? · · Score: 1

    I own a Canon DV-MV400i and when using the built-in microphone, the noise coming from the motor is recorded onto the tape. I don't prefer using an external mic - I bought a DV to be small, easy to carry and to be used instantly. Unfortunately this is hard to test when you go into a shop - you need to wire the cam to a TV or amplifier to hear the disturbing background noise.
