  1. Re:A quote and personal experience on Linux Most Attacked Server? · · Score: 1

    It's interesting that one would even compare security of operating systems anyway. Most of the time servers are behind a firewall only exposing a few ports (25,80,443,etc.). A better comparison for security would be on those third-party applications you mentioned. How secure is the web server you are running? or how secure is that mail program?

  2. Image not Found on Co-founder Joy to leave Sun · · Score: 1

    You'd think after two decades of working at Sun, they could've found a better picture!

    Actually, there are very few pictures taken of Bill Joy. He doesn't like to have very many pictures taken of him. They often reuse the few they do have of him in almost all of his profiles.

  3. Re:Camera Phones on Origami Helps Cellphone Cameras To Focus · · Score: 1

    Sounds like an alltel commercial. My favorite has to be the "super-massive wireless" commercial with the overpaid singers.

  4. Hard to believe on EBay Fined $29.5M in Patent Case · · Score: 1

    This situation is getting out of control with all these lawsuits. It's going to turn into a mountain of litigation and tie up the court systems.

  5. Re:Great for highschool bands on Sell Your Music on iTunes Music Store · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a good idea. It's exciting to finally see these types of services being offered now. It was only a matter of time. Markets are changing faster than ever now and consumers have a more direct route to their suppliers. Hope it continues.

  6. Re:Great for highschool bands on Sell Your Music on iTunes Music Store · · Score: 1

    This is what it's all about. Direct to the consumer.

  7. Re:Arizona on A Geek's Tour Of North America? · · Score: 1

    In Sedona, Cathedral rock is a great place to hike up to. Although, being from the valley here in southern Arizona, the air is a little thinner up there and the hike can get a little tough. Nonetheless, it is worth it because the view and the weather are often spectacular.

  8. Competition on Platform Evangelism · · Score: 1, Interesting

    It seems that more and more, competition is breeding brand awareness and evangelism. It's an inherent part of doing business.

  9. A factor of time on 12/7 and Overtime on a Salary? · · Score: 0

    It's too bad that they even factor time into this equation. It should be quality over quantity. For some it can take longer and others it doesn't take quite as long. If you mandate that someone work 12 hours a day, how does that actually ensure increased work output for that day? It would actually dramatically reduce my work output. There needs to be balance and moderation.

  10. MS Exchange Connector on Interview With Ximian's Nat Friedman · · Score: 0

    It's too bad there even needs to be a MS Exchange Connector.

  11. Training on North Korea's School For Hackers? · · Score: 0

    How good can this training really be?

  12. Laptop on What Kind Of Computer To Bring To College? · · Score: 0

    I would recommend a laptop but not necessarily for taking notes. I remember many a class in college where boredom would soon become an issue and made me wish I had a laptop to have something intersting to do. It also makes the professor seem like you are doing something important while you're really just playing around.

  13. Evolution on Kazaa/Altnet To Pay Users For Trading Content · · Score: 0

    It will be interesting to see how this evolves. It appears we are in the midst of a digital revolution very similiar to the industrial revolution not too long ago. We will see many middlemen cut out of the equation and a greater migration of content authors getting closer to their respective audiences. How this all works business-wise will be the toughest part. Everybody is going to need a piece of the pie.

  14. Surveillance on UK Police Expand License Plate Camera Systems · · Score: 0

    It's a great technology and will surely automate a lot of law enforcement processes as well as reducing costs. Nonetheless, there is an obvious potential for abuse by those who have access to the systems and some who don't.

  15. Mandatory Subscription on ReplayTV and TiVo Compared · · Score: 0

    The Tivo and ReplayTV are good products but subscriptions should not be required. Currently, surveillance DVRs are going for less than $400 and they allow recording of multiple channels with no subscription necessary. Ultimately, DVRs will be everywhere and they will be a very cheap commodity like the current 4-head VCRs. I wouldn't be surprised to see them embedded in your TV.

  16. Resources on Play GNU Chess On Your Scanner · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Is this an appropriate use of resources?

  17. Re:On the Mac... on Game Originality: Any Left? · · Score: 1

    It would be great to see even more games for the Mac. It's a great platform to develop for. I imagine we will see quite a plethora of games for the Mac in the next few years.

  18. MySQL on SAP and MySQL Join Forces · · Score: 1

    MySQL is a great database for smaller enterprise projects. Easy install and good pricing model.

  19. Not the RFID tags on RFID Tags in Euro Banknotes · · Score: 1

    The real interesting part comes not necessarily from the RFID tags, but from the ones who control the status associated with the ID from the tags on certain enterprise systems. The police comprised of individuals just like the consumers using the notes might have access to alter status associated with certain tags. This could lead to some interesting possibilities and opportunities.

  20. Response on Update on State "Communications Services" Laws · · Score: 1

    It's good to see this type of a positive response. Hopefully there will be more in the future.

  21. Re:Reality bites on Computing's Lost Allure · · Score: 1

    Yes, corporate politics is really what it's all about and you can throw process in there too.

  22. Re:Of Course CS Ph.D.s are just the opposite on Computing's Lost Allure · · Score: 1

    This is all too true. Graduate degrees in CS are almost a must today. They also encompass most of the advanced concepts that are required to do real computer science projects and design.

  23. Re:Who's doing the shredding? on Caldera vs. Microsoft Court Documents To Be Shredded · · Score: 1

    It would be interesting to find that out.

  24. Too much on Buffy Series Finale Tonight · · Score: 1

    Seems like they are really pushing these season finales this year with all the show. There must be a real need to increase the number of viewers.

  25. Following in the footsteps on Can Hollywood Learn From Intuit? · · Score: 0

    It is certainly quite possible that Hollywood will go through the same motions that Intuit did, and will soon find themselves in the same situation.
