  1. This requires not storing in insulators? on Halving Half Lives · · Score: 1

    As from TFA,

    It states that this occurs also when the device is stored in metal instead of an insulator.

    Wouldn't this cause a larger issue with potential radioactive containment?

  2. Re:wait on Microsoft's New Linux-Based Wireless Network · · Score: 1

    How about any ISA server?

    I know the last 3 fortune 100 companies I worked in had at least one.

  3. Re:Bust Buy creates business for others on Best Buy 'Geek Squad' Accused of Pirating Software · · Score: 1

    With the loadsets that I build, it's faster to save the user data, blast the machine, and reload than it is to troubleshoot simple problems.

    In our environment, we do most of our applications via Citrix, and the few local ones are installed via SMS. Therefore, I can blast and reload a machine via Zero Touch in about 10-15 minutes.

  4. Re:RAID on First Impressions Count in Website Design · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but Digg's comment system sucks.

    Once they get that figured out, I'm out of here as well.

  5. Re:Possible fix on Firefox 's Ping Attribute: Useful or Spyware? · · Score: 1

    Good to hear from you.

    You still have the same email address?

  6. Re:Possible fix on Firefox 's Ping Attribute: Useful or Spyware? · · Score: 1

    So what ever happened to using the referrer string?

  7. Re:Hackable? on Apple Revolutionizing Retail · · Score: 1

    But seriously, "all paperless" that can't be good. I might be old school but I like a papertrail when giving someone my money.

    Why can't paperless be good? I am an architect for the wireless infrastructure and citrix systems in a paperless hospital.

    We take your information at the bedside, wirelessly. Keep your records solely digitally. We also bill you digitally and give you a receipt if you request one. Even your signature is captured once, digitally.

    We comply with HIPAA and have more security than most engineering firms I've worked for.

    We use WPA2 Enterprise and SSL tunnels to Citrix farms, and WPA2 Enterprise / SSL in all of our handheld barcode perscription scanners too.

  8. Re:iDisk on The Top 10 Weirdest USB Drives Ever · · Score: 2, Interesting

    After looking into it a little more....

    I noticed that SolidAlliance makes almost all of these products, and they can be purchased from SA-Store.

  9. iDisk on The Top 10 Weirdest USB Drives Ever · · Score: 1

    Anyone know where you can buy the iDisk referenced in the article? Also, does it have any other storage options larger than 128 meg?

    Has anyone out there ever used a usb drive this small, and was it effective?

  10. Re:"transmit a two-hour movie in 0.5 seconds"? on Terabit Fiber (In 2010) · · Score: 1

    Carrier-level equipment is already capable of handling these speeds.

  11. Re:Medical information security on iPods Used for Medical Images · · Score: 1

    Yes, but our PDAs are secured so that if/when they don't contact our management server within a set period of time, they will start the erase process of the flash. We also have the PDAs tagged with RFID's on the inside of the case and RFID scanners at every exit. Not to mention, standard biometric/passkey security is also employed on mobile devices.

    So, that takes care of us making sure we take adequate protection against allowing patient health information out of the enterprise.

  12. Re:Flavours? on Windows Vista To Come In 7 Flavors · · Score: 1

    You can mount a partition as an NTFS folder. I've done this before for D&S.

    Also, you can use Junction.exe to do it too.

  13. OLD! on Linux For Supervillains · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I remember looking at this at least 3 years ago...

  14. Because... on Under a Big Blue Shadow · · Score: 1

    They are cheaper to support...

    Warrantees and service agreements, etc.

  15. Re:Is it just me or... on IBM Tablet Announced · · Score: 1

    I've been testing this for my company for over a month now. The X41 is still an ugly beast and the battery life isn't as good as proclaimed.

    Go with the Fujitsu.

  16. Point? on RFID Bracelets to Track Inmates in L.A. County · · Score: -1

    And the point is? I would guess to track the inmates, but I thought that's what the guards and bars are for? Couldn't they have the same effect of tracking by just chaining them all together?

  17. Re:Business Day? on Microsoft to Introduce Faster Security Disclosures · · Score: 1

    If you really have to "come back on weekends" to patch your systems then you're not much of a admin.

    I can test and roll out a patch from the comfort of my armchair at home. Why can't you?

  18. Re:Downloads per user on Firefox Breaks 50,000,000 Barrier · · Score: 1

    I've deployed it on about 1500 PCs and only downloaded it 3 times.

    I guess I make up for a lot.

  19. Re:Mark is Paranoid, but Trusting of Microsoft? on Security for the Paranoid · · Score: 4, Funny

    He just doesn't tell you he rebuilds all computers on his network two days after the patch is released.

  20. Re:Let's improve on that on Hibernation on Demand · · Score: 1

    But, it's obvious they don't read the site. So, why would posting it publicly here make a difference?

  22. Services? on Intel to Release WiMax Chip · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Are there any major suppliers of WiMax services yet?

  23. Re:Poor Comcast on Comcast Sued For Giving Customer Info to RIAA · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But the RIAA isn't a law enforcement authority. Thereby, they still have no rights to this information unless a law enforcement agency has a warrant and they are pending litigation (which isn't the case with this).

  24. Re:Nielsen? on Firefox Site Visits Up 237% · · Score: 3, Informative

    Neilson has connections to a few very high traffic sites and they either A)allow them to view the statistics on their logs, or B)allow them to put a 1x1 gif on their website for usage stats.

    Is the U.S. Patent system really that backwards?

    Yes.
