  1. Re:Unenforcable on Sex Offenders Must Hand Over Online Passwords · · Score: 1

    I get the feeling that you'll be back in jail for failing to provide a password.

  2. Re:Um what? on What Carriers Don't Want You To Know About Texting · · Score: 1

    Voice call volume increases as well. This is why carriers provide more towers in high volume locations.

  3. Chained client/server on BitTorrent For Enterprise File Distribution? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Have you thought about building up a distribution tree for your sites?

    Group all of your stores based upon geographic location. State, region, country, etc. Pick one or two stores in each group and they are the only ones that interact with the parent group.

    E.g. Corporate will distribute the files to two locations in each country. Then two stores from each region will see that the country store has the files and download them. Repeat down the chain until all stores have the files.

  4. Re:What is this? on RIAA Sues 19-Year-Old Transplant Patient · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Unfortunately, people who serve papers can easily lie.

  5. Re:Not always. on Losing My Software Rights? · · Score: 1

    Contracts can't violate laws, so you can't sign away your rights.

    The military wouldn't agree with this statement.

  6. Re:cuz nobody has EVER been able to fool that on Replacing Metal Detectors With Brain Scans · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's an israeli company. They'll probably just calibrate it with everyone who passes through their borders. Everyone would get grouped in to two categories. Israeli or Terrorist.

  7. Re:Silly me on Researchers Discover How To Make the Perfect Phone Call · · Score: 3, Funny

    In some one's world, a perfect phone call would involve your mom.

  8. Curious... on Should You Get Paid While Your Computer Boots? · · Score: 1

    If the people are not working when the computer is not at the desktop, does this mean that they do not get paid if the hardware fails in the middle of their shift?

    The employees should never turn off their computers and then wait for management to bitch about the higher energy cost.

    My work laptop take about 10-15 minutes to get from off to usable. The joys of application enforced business policies at start up...

  9. Real Name on Real Name For Open Source Development? · · Score: 1

    All of my open source code contributions have been submitted with my real name. Doing the work with my real name has helped me get consulting work and my current salaried position.

    Employers like it when you stand proudly behind your name, instead of following the all too common formula.

  10. Re:No, it's not. on Relentless Web Attack Hard To Kill · · Score: 1

    In response to people who blindly click 'OK', "You can't cure stupid".

    Viruses are just following darwinian evolution.

  11. Re:noscript on Relentless Web Attack Hard To Kill · · Score: 3, Informative

    I've been developing with ASP.NET (c#) since its initial beta and am very familiar with how it functions. This discussion would go a bit smoother if you would read a comment before replying to it. Noscript prevents javascript from loading on any site, until the site is explicitly given permission by the user. Approve your CRM domain(s), which will allow it to work properly. Then if it is compromised, noscript will block the javascript on the destination domain. If your server is compromised to the point where it is hosting exploits, then the IT staff needs to spend a bit more effort patching and locking things down. Noscript is not the only protection that should be used, but it greatly helps. It's like driving a car a little bit slower. You've still got a seatbelt to help keep you alive, but you should be less likely to hit something.

  12. Re:noscript on Relentless Web Attack Hard To Kill · · Score: 1

    The developers are doing something wrong if the CRM mandates XSS javascript.

  13. noscript on Relentless Web Attack Hard To Kill · · Score: 5, Informative

    NoScript is one of the best ways to avoid viruses that are distributed from the web.

  14. Re:Like Radar Detecting on Halliburton Applies For Patent-Trolling Patent · · Score: 1

    ...and a device designed to notify you when your speed is being monitored will help you how? If a cop needs a radar gun to see you make an illegal turn, he's doing something wrong.

  15. Am I reading this correctly? on Halliburton Applies For Patent-Trolling Patent · · Score: 1

    I might be wrong, but it seems like they are trying to patent corporate theft.

  16. Re:Like Radar Detecting on Halliburton Applies For Patent-Trolling Patent · · Score: 1

    Easy solution...drive the speed limit. Protects against as many levels of indirection as they can make.

  17. Re:Regex Support on (Useful) Stupid Regex Tricks? · · Score: 1

    Ultraedit has really good regex support

  18. Re:Well... on US Army To Push X-Files Tech Development · · Score: 1

    I wonder how quickly the US Army will be banned from both games for running bots.

  19. Re:Any Aussies here? on A Linux-Based "Breath Test" For Porn On PCs · · Score: 5, Funny

    3 words. British prison colony

  20. Re:Well in that case.. (ignore the pun) on Kentucky Judge Upholds State's Gambling-Domain Grab · · Score: 1

    Silly foreigner. Only in your drunken imagination would your legal system be "on par" with ours.

  21. GreaseMonkey to the rescue! on iGoogle Users Irate About Portal's Changes · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm not a fan of the change because I do not use the tabs. Instead of complaining, I created a greasemonkey script to remove the tabs.

  22. Re:no comment on First Official Photos From New Star Trek Movie · · Score: 0, Redundant

    You're not a fan of Star Trek: 90210?

  23. Really?? on TiVo PC Could Be a Game-Changer · · Score: 1

    Are the few 7-30 second commercials really that bad that people are willing to spend that much on a box to avoid watching them? Commercials have and will continue to serve a vital role in TV watching, bathroom breaks. Unlike the several minute commercial breaks, the ones on hulu give you enough time to get to your computer to pause the show.

  24. Re:Really? on Homeland Security Department Testing "Pre-Crime" Detector · · Score: 1

    There are also those who commit crimes that don't think they are doing anything wrong. False positives will be a serious issue. Awkward guy on a first date or around a girl he likes or a person who had a bad day at work will probably have higher pulse, body temp and be acting suspicious or annoyed.

  25. Re:It's time to face a simple fact about the iPhon on Apple Bans iPhone App For Competing With Mail.app · · Score: 1

    I had thought about developing iPhone apps. Even tinkered a bit with the SDK, but then all of the news about how blatantly they are rejecting anything that would be profitable/competing has changed my mind.
