  1. Re:whooboy. on Vista Won't Play With Old DVD Drives · · Score: 2

    I think you are giving new ideas to MPAA.
    Besides, that is compromising the copy protection mechanism (region limitation) in DVD, which is illegal in US of A according to that DCMA.

  2. Re:They call hackers researchers now? on Exploit Released for Unpatched Windows Flaw · · Score: 1

    You are redefining hackers, just like those clueless (and hopeless) people who called all the attackers hackers.
    I'm sure the rest of us can tell the difference between black hats, grey hats, and white hats (some people argue that purely white hat does not exist), as well as crackers, and clueless scriptkiddies.
    Whoever modded the parent informative is actually quite un-informative.

  3. Re:Java. on Learning Java or C# as a Next Language? · · Score: 1

    Basically, what is important here is not the fact that you are going to learn a certain language, but that you will learn how to write object oriented code.
    I concur, but tell this to those HR people - as the primary question is job related.

  4. Re:You still need alternate access to console on Vista's Graphics To Be Moved Out of the Kernel · · Score: 1

    Depending on your luck, if you are using Windows XP and has remote connection enabled, sometimes you can break that by rebooting using remote terminal service (* As I said: Depending on your luck *).

  5. Re:The mouse click heard 'round the world? on Cyber Attacks on US Linked to Chinese Military? · · Score: 1

    And given the US' deal with Shiro Ishii, in exchange of warfare prosecution and germ warfare data, I still don't think American would join the war if Japanese had no attack them.

  6. Re:The mouse click heard 'round the world? on Cyber Attacks on US Linked to Chinese Military? · · Score: 1

    I feel disappointed when you were using the Chinese protest over Koizumi visiting a military shrine as an example of hatred.
    To us, the non-Japanese east Asian (Chinese, Korean), our feeling of what Koizumi is doing is comparable to what the Jews feel if the German Minister speaks for Nazis.

  7. From TFA on Cyber Attacks on US Linked to Chinese Military? · · Score: 1

    In the attacks, Paller said, the perpetrators "were in and out with no keystroke errors and left no fingerprints, and created a backdoor in less than 30 minutes. How can this be done by anyone other than a military organization?"

    Hello? Did you ever heard something called script?

    I can't stand the accusation, at least give a bit of reason why he said it is surely a military attack, not just throwing words like "keystroke errors" and such.

  8. Users Lie on Top 10 System Administrator Truths · · Score: 1

    Oh yes, I agree to that strongly.
    Sometimes they lie because they just don't trust the administrator.
    During my last job, I learnt the skill of gaining users' trust from my supervisor. That is, sometimes you have to tell the user to do a bit of meaningless / distracting / crazy thing to make the whole troubleshooting process persuasive for some users.

  9. Re:Give me the winner's code, and on Competing to Work for Microsoft · · Score: 1

    That reminds me of Microsoft Access code that I inherited (which has no else in a bunch of ifs), and which was written by a third-party consulting company.

  10. Re:.NET programming on Building Intelligent .NET Applications · · Score: 1

    I don't know much about Match.com, but the Monster.com should be a counter-example instead. Last time I check, their site was quite buggy. Post back buttons would be missing randomly, etc.

  11. Re:Own up to knowing Delphi on Building Intelligent .NET Applications · · Score: 1

    Surely, there really aren't many Delphi developer positions, at least in Michigan, United States.
    I am not sure where you are, but I'm sure that Delphi developer (well, I used to be...) is hard to find in United States. Last time I saw a job that involves knowledge of Delphi software development, the employer was an immigrant from an European country.

  12. Re:Quittin' on Computer Jobs -- How to Resign Professionally? · · Score: 1

    You mean, sort of like what people said about Steve?

  13. Re:What's the question again? on Computer Jobs -- How to Resign Professionally? · · Score: 1

    That's why I always leave documentations for my previous works.
    Some people believe that it is too much of advantages for their employers in case some relationship goes bad, but I want them to be able to cover their base in case if I was hit by a bus.
    By the way, that saved a lot of phone calls after I quited my previous jobs.

    No, it is your land-line that has too much of static.

  16. Great Plan, Microsoft! on Microsoft Bows to Eolas, Revamps IE · · Score: 1

    Their plan avoids patent infringement, yet at the same time rebrand the workaround as a security measure.

  17. No Worries... on France Hostile To Open Source Software? · · Score: 1

    We will just name those open source software as "free software", just like the good old freedom fries.
    Oh, wait...

  18. Re:Doesn't he know? on Why Can't Microsoft Just Patch Everything? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Given that the post was modded as 5, insightful, I highly suspect that the moderators are either clueless or mod randomly.

  19. Re:Mod parent up! on Why Can't Microsoft Just Patch Everything? · · Score: 1

    As far as I know, RunAs requires you to know the username and password for the user identity that you are going to "runas". The Unix sudo is far superior in the sense that you can be limited to run as another user identity without having extra username and password.

  20. Re:Old laptops on Breathing Life Into Older Computers · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you, but I usually do a research on linux / "insert-an-open-source-operating-system-here" compatibility before I purchase the hardware. I buy the more compatible one as an encouragement of their efforts to set users free.

  21. Re:Noooo kidding. on Recruiting IT Students? · · Score: 1

    I could understand why you need to lookup for the hash function implementation, but the reverse-string function part is so simple logic algorithm.

  22. Re:Noooo kidding. on Recruiting IT Students? · · Score: 1

    I don't think most of us are asking for 6-figure salary. The problem is whether we get a job or not, simply because most of the employers value the experienced and not giving chances for those new-comers who can prove their knowledges to them (just like what you asked them, demostrate a few simple/short administration tasks).
    Since SSH and your port 25 question are quite simple, that raise a question of whether your screening process is effective enough or not.

    If you are really doing as you say, mind to leave an e-mail address?
    I would be the first one to send you a resume.

  24. Re:Well, what kind of IT? on Recruiting IT Students? · · Score: 1

    I like your "learning" part.
    Most of the HR failed to see that some candidates can learn, and in fact learn much faster than others. Companies can spend a large amount to train a clueless to be a specialized software's (say, SAP) administrator, but never willing to give that chance to the candiate, who may implement things much better.

  25. Re:Time to let go on Recruiting IT Students? · · Score: 1

    What most managements don't understand is IT can save them money.
    I've seen secretaries who copied and pasted data from e-mails, Excel, and Access everyday into a self typed-up report, etc, whereas these things can be done, automated, or improved by scripts and software.
