  1. No matter on Pentagon Wants IPv6 by 2008 · · Score: 1

    How much time you give people there will always be people who will not be ready for the change. I say that the US government follows Japan's example. because it will increase it jobs and the economy. But hey let us see what what happens. In the next few years.

  2. Does this really on Digital Surveillance for EC Governments · · Score: 1

    Comes as a suprise like any government they wish to make sure they have the ability to see what is going on at all times. It is all about keeping thier people in check. It will be fun to see this one plays out.

  3. My question on Scientology Critic Flees U.S. Over Usenet Posts, Pickets · · Score: 1

    Is why was not all the usegroup posting allowed to be used in a court of law. That is like picking apart a man's speech and taking out only the sentences that you feel are threting instead of understanding the context they are stating in. To a much lesser degree My twin brother once told be something out of context he pick out the part that stuck out the must to him, but without hearing why it was said I was pissed.
    This entire thing frightens me because it allows people to be wrongfuly convicted if they like to use metaphors.

  4. 10 from now on The Tenth Birthday Of The World Wide Web · · Score: 1

    The internet I hope will not be controled even more by the government. Yet I believe that in the future we will have more thing on the internet to do but less rights to do them.

  5. People just will not buy it on Digital TV Approaches · · Score: 1

    I know I will not if I have to give up the
    functionality that I am used to.

  6. If the standards are keep open on Nokia and Loki Together on Linux Terminal · · Score: 1

    Then this will be an interesting new gaming system. It would make it easier for the little guy to get in the games out there. This will be fun to watch.

  7. Pulling Strings on Las Vegas's Seedy Technical Underbelly · · Score: 1

    Hey this is nothing new there is always people trying to pull the strings in the background. I wonder if Mitnick could be called in as a consultant on this case he could clean up on this one.

  8. If you want something done on Home Improvement · · Score: 1

    You got to do it yourself. I am glad to see that the people up there are resourceful these are people who are paving the way of the future.

  9. Entering a New Market on Nokia's Linux Based Xbox Competitor · · Score: 3

    The
    press release from Nokia themselves. I really hopes they come out with something good. Think about it if they let anyone play. This might make this the "next big thing" since anyone can use it and make games for it this will allow more games and with more games more people will be likely to buy.

  10. Ask Permission on Approaching Lost Clients About Security? · · Score: 1

    To do a Free Audit of thier security of thier site. After it is done explain to them you know all about these security risks and would have never put your company at risk like this. I think this is the best approach do not talk to the webmaster(s) go directly to the top guys.

  11. This is great on Zero to Rutabaga in 6 Seconds · · Score: 1

    But the only thing I wish I knew about it if it is as dirty as gasoline, how much does it cost to convert the fuel and the miles per hour. If these are answered then we can see if it would really be a good solution.

  12. I hope this on Sony Violating GPL? · · Score: 2

    Becomes a real test case for GPL in this will show people the the FSF takes violations very seriously. I do not think sony will let it get that far though

  13. The sad thing on Remote 'Root' Exploit in IIS 5.0 · · Score: 1

    About This is the not everyone is going to patch thier server some and then cry like a fool when the get hacked. Despite the fact they are many people out there take thier security seriously alot more do not. (I had this happen to a friend where the hosting company did not apply a patch that 6 months old. Well have fun patching and rebooting :)

  14. Dealing with on Tech Support: Sucking Even More · · Score: 1

    Problems of customer service has always been a difficult job no matter what industry you are in. I used to do it at grocery store ,as a tech at a shipping company and a internet company. It is very difficult to deal with people in general. Also when you add on support problems it gets even worse. This report is not suprising.

  15. Protection of customer base on MS Wants To Know Whose PC Is Windows-Free · · Score: 1

    Any organization who does this. Has no sense because they will not keep any of thier customers. The customer will find out very quickly who was the rat. Let me think a customer or a microsoft game hmmm tough to decide.

  16. If It was done on Burlington Northern to Stop Gene Tests for CTS · · Score: 1

    For the right reasons then I do not have a problem with it. If they told their employees that if they have a disposition they will use that information only to help improve the working enviroment then I will say ok that is fine. Yet I do not think this was the case here this was clearly a misuse of their positions. Not genitic testing is bad but the sad part it can be abused in so many ways some think it will be safer just not do it at all.

  17. Historical Value on WindRiver Will Not Keep Slackware · · Score: 1

    As a lot of the people who has been using linux for a while. Slackware was the first one that I used. I remember downloading it on to 30 diskettes (I had a lot of AOL diskettes) Slackware will not go anyware alot of people will still support it and use it. Good Luck to you guys

  18. Fair Share on ISS Mission STS-100-6A Canadarm2 · · Score: 2

    It is good to see yet another country puts it's hat in the space arena. I hope to see more countries to contribute to the program. Main reason I do not want to see just the USA and russia out in space I prefer to hope that "The Next Frontier" will an earth venture not just a few countries.

  19. Nothing New on FBI Turns To Private Sector for Data · · Score: 1

    The FBI was investigating a someone who lived in canada and owned property in florida. Instead of going to the state for the property database they went to a direct marketer that purchased the file from the state. The direct marketer sold the file to the FBI also. Reason they did not want to go through the red of getting the file from the state. Might raise to many flags.

  20. Does This Mean on Darwin 1.3.1 Released, x86 ISO Available · · Score: 1

    That Apple will allow people to build darwin boxes? How well will they support it on the x86? Has anyone tried yet? Please tell me how it is.

  21. Facts on Educational Consortium Will Control .edu Domains · · Score: 2

    (It would be very nice to see .edu domains that aren't only 4-year colleges, too, so I hope that happens) My older and twin brothers go to this community school http://www.mdcc.edu/ I guess they did not get thier facts straight

  22. Sorry The proper address on The End Of The Paperclip · · Score: 2

  23. A total plug for me on The End Of The Paperclip · · Score: 1

    I guess this t-shirt says it all.

  24. Convience vs Security on Is Encryption Really Secure? · · Score: 1

    That is always been the trade off. I know people who ask why do I have to put a password
    everytime I come to work why does it matter? Well it will depend on the job. I seen companies
    where someone just walked into the back office the safe was open and left with a few grand.
    Why did this happen to the company did not inconvience itself with any security measures.
    The more security you have the more inconveinent it is to do things. All you have to do is
    measure your how inconvience you are willing to give up vs how much security you want.

  25. Path of least resistence on Hailstorm: Changing Society's Privacy Infrastructure · · Score: 1

    People tend To the path of least resistence if this service does what it is promise then microsoft will have a winner there. Like it or not it will be the masses that decide whether this flies ot not. Microsoft has a great marketing arm they and then general public tends to be sheep(I hope this does not get that many flames). People will buy into this that it is a great way to stream line your life make it easier on yourself of 20 dollars a month we can make your life so much easier. I see alot of peole using this service BECAUSE it is from micro$haft. Well these are my thoughts. Please post different points of views.
