  1. Interesting concept on Map Based Passwords · · Score: 1

    To recover a lost "password", does it provide turn-by-turn directions? This is an interesting and potentially useful concept, especially to use in conjunction with a username and password. Also, I can see how you can prevent people certain people to login to the network if they're in a "insecure" location such as in an airport.

  2. DRM demonstration on GOG.com Not Really Gone · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It was all a demonstration of what inevitable happens to DRM media.

  3. Re:With gmail on Corporate Email Etiquette - Dead or Alive? · · Score: 1

    Gmail might be nice, but for corporate conversations, I don't think it's very secure. The idea of conversations being stored on a server we can't maintain especially among IT, which often including user names and occasional password, makes me uneasy. One weak Gmail password and access to more passwords can be revealed. Same with GoogleTalk logging since it's all integrated.

    And how can you destroy evidence you don't have access to? ;)

  4. Re:Inaccurate summary on Public Request For Microsoft To Release Deprecated File Formats · · Score: 1

    This is the problem with all closed formats. Why can't the word processor be used by its own merit and not by force? Someone mentioned Adobe above. Photoshop itself is well worth the price because of its features, not because its file format can only work with Photoshop. Yes, opening a format will give an opportunity for clones applications, but can all clones reproduce the features of the application it is cloning?

  5. Re:Can someone explain this for me...? on Major Flaw Found In Security Products · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sounds like the old saying "it's not a bug. it's a feature!"

  6. Re:Too little... on Microsoft to Offer Free Online Storage · · Score: 1

    I have my mom using http://mozy.com/ for her backup. It's free for 2GB storage or unlimited for $5/mo. The client is only for Windows, but they have a beta version of the Mac client out.
