Is there a single good reason why Google doesn't force people to use SSL?
Like, unless you're in North Korea were it is prohibited or something like that, you have to check a big red box saying "Allow use of insecure http protocol" ?
Why make it opt-in security ?
I wiped my iPhone and upgraded it to 2.0.1, and now it feels much faster (for now, at least). I can confirm I've seen other iPhones where 2.0.1 fixed it, without wiping it first.
I've seen some where it didn't fix it, so it could be a complete coincidence I guess. Hopefully 2.1 will address a lot of issues.
Well, this is called Network Access Control, or NAP in Windows 2008.
The day my ISP starts controlling wether my machine is "up to date" enough to use it is the day I get a new ISP.
Plus, it would be over-estimating end-users to think they'd get some fancy router because it lets them wait a bit longer before using their computers....
Definitely, however, relating to your parent post, ClamAV is just not a very good enterprise desktop AV yet.
WinPooch does real-time scanning, but there is a definite need for a centralized deployment and monitoring console as well as standard realtime scanning in ClamWin. Using WinPooch is slowwww and overkill.
The scanning engine being great, I'm sure ClamWin + Realtime + Centralized console would be a killer.
There is NO reason autorun should be on on a corporate network EVER.
You don't need admin rights to get your documents and settings erased or ftped to a remote server by that "Nice 16gig USB stick you found on the ground!"
I'm sure some dictionary files contain those patterns - probably not a problem for a 7years old trying to avoid her parents touching her PC, but something to think about anyways..
I guess picking the right pictures in a list in the proper order would be a good idea....I think I saw something like that posted on slashdot in the last year.
Where I live (Montreal, QC) you are allowed to call yourself an Engineer as long as your are an Engineer.
That means if you take a degree in Computer science ENGINEERING, and pay your yearly fees to the Order, you can call yourself an engineer.
Because you're not allowed doesn't mean real engineers aren't. (Unless the laws in your province are different in regards to this)
The interface doesn't feel fast. You click and it's slow to react...both on Windows and Linux. Plus it messes up formatting and is slow as hell.
I use gnumeric for simple sheets, and thank god I rarely have to use a Word processing program. I'd use Abiword. If it's not going to be 100% compatible with Office anyways, might as well use something fast.
1. It's an unnecessary, unethical waste of energy. I pay for my hydroelectricity thank you very much. I use CFLs and wash my clothes with cold water.
2. It's an unnecessary security risk to leave so much of your sensitive data connected to the internet completely unattended.
Oh yeah, if my machine is easily hackable, leaving it on 12 hours a day instead of 24 will make a huge difference.
3. If you do get compromised, there is then the ethical issue of the amount of spam/DDoS your box can be used for by the time you realise what has happened.
I haven't. And if I did, I'd notice, and if I didn't notice, my ISP would bill me for the bandwidth and then I'd notice pretty fast.
4. It's a poor solution to the problem of long boot times. A better solution would be to man up and learn some fucking patience. It's not a solution to long boot time. It's a solution to keeping it online to download stuff, monitor stuff..
5. It uses up your machine's useful lifespan much more quickly at no significant gain to you. I'm not sure...warming up and cooling down must not be all that good for the components.
6. It's yet another electrical appliance always on and always ready to set off your smoke alarm or even start an electrical fire. That is one reason I never leave my laptop on alone though.
I used to work for one of the biggest wallpaper producers, and they were going to buy a similar program where the user prints out a sheet with some kind of arrow on it, and put it on the wall. After that, the user would take a picture of his room, and load the jpg in the application. From there, the application would calculate the angle of the wall etc, and the user could load any texture (in our case, wallpaper) and it would apply it the the user's picture of his own room. It was pretty cool, but unfortunately not web-based, it had to be given to users on CD, because it was pretty huge...and the license didn't allow just distributing it on the website..
1) electronic Thermostat
2) Radio shack alarm dialer
3) Dial-up line
The thermostat can be set to be triggered both ways (under X or over X), triggers the radio shack alarm system, which calls me on my phone..
Yes, a blue one. Perfectly functional, it was never really used at all. My father used to buy a pair of any cool gadget. One to use, the other one in case the first one broke.
Not too good for your bank account let me tell you!

Cause that phone obviously has a PROPER GAUGE. Not.
Like the sysadmin really had a say in this. He probably asked for that a thousand times.
Is it just my luck or are all cars like that? You go 200km on the first 25% of the gauge, but can barely get to 550km before it's empty?
Anotherwards ? Is this a joke or you've been misunderstanding that for your whole life??
Get a wildcard certificate or a UCC. UCCs let you have multiple hostnames on the same domain, and they aren't so expensive.
Big a real server, and thin clients. Saves time and power.
First post recovered !
OO has fewer bugs and you're much less biased than I am.

I'm sure that would've been the right answer.
Battle of the first posts?
I mean, why would you text from your car when you can post to slashdot with YRO/"UIR/"U($)%!
Who said I didn't reboot? I said I leave my computer on. Of course I keep it up to date and reboot if necessary.
