  1. Re:And to help the Italians communicate.... on Rome Moving to Linux · · Score: 1

    There are Italians here, as me and this is kinda racist. There is anything that will help you to actually THINK? (and when i say you, i dont say Americans, im talking just about of who wrote this)

  2. Re:Security on Earthlink Invests In Broadband Over Power Lines · · Score: 1

    actually i do RECIVE emails using SSL (pop3d supports it), where did i say i use it to send? :P

  3. Re:Security on Earthlink Invests In Broadband Over Power Lines · · Score: 1

    i DO use SSL for my mails and so on, and yes all unencrypted wiress communication are pretty unsafe. In a cable you just cant "catch" data without estabilishing any connection, with radio frequences you can cause they just float in the air and even an SSL key could infact being caught. Now wireless connection inside your house arent a problem is pretty unlikely that your grandpa will sniff your connection, but in an entire city thats pretty unsafe for me

  4. Security on Earthlink Invests In Broadband Over Power Lines · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Mhh how many informations will fly through the city on radio frequences? Isnt too easy to catch them? I mean the amount of credit card numbers flying isnt a problem as long as they are encrypted but there are still plain-text user/pass combinations, and especially e-mails are mostly sent plain-text (how many of you actually uses SSL for mails?) Maybe i didnt get exactly how it works but it looks to me pretty unsafe, i remember when i had one those little "walkie talkie", a very old one and i could catch many communications this way.

  5. Why this test CANT be accurate on The World's Safest Operating System · · Score: 1

    First of all the right way to make the test was to make proportions between failed attempt and good attempt to breakin. Second they should see if the breakin gave an high level of control on the machine. Third they should see if the breaked-in machine were actually meant as server of if this was accidentally, to be considered a desktop PC. If they dont do this they cant exclude Windows backdoors/worms/viruses from their count, and this would radically change things.
    I wonder if Microsoft really didnt "help" in this research.

  7. 5 reason of why Napstare will fail on HP Dumped Napster for Apple · · Score: 5, Interesting

    As many pointed out, the first is certainly - They dont sell a player like iPod other's are: - User experience isn't at iTunes level - Napster history doesnt make it sound "clean" - They are not coming out with Pepsi caps :P - Doesnt work on Mac, that is the platform of artists since its creation. In my opinion HP doesnt want to break good relelations with Apple especially when they can enter in profitable business through Apple itself (last is the ITMS, but what about pro-printers?)

  8. Great, i hope this will continue on Another Xandros 2.0 Deluxe Review · · Score: 0

    This is a GREAT effort in the Linux Community. I see the market of this OS (casue differently from distros, this is an OS) is double. The small office where secretaries have to make some specific things without problems and cheap computers, where you can save a lot on the OS price and you can offer to a new computer user an easy system, that for him/her would be as new as any other (at least, theorically). If this will have succes, i think in the best way of the opensource community improvment will be coded, particular features (especially hardware support), hopefully under GPL license.

  9. Re:Ahem.. on Are Geeks in Saudi Arabia Just Like Us? · · Score: 0

    Ok i imagine my post was..heavy, but i think less infamatory then many others..oh but mine was against US, the others about saudi arabians..

  10. Ahem.. on Are Geeks in Saudi Arabia Just Like Us? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Arabians != fundamentalism. Saudi Arabia is a modern country, rich from petrol that you americans try to steal from others arabian countries like Iraq and Kuwait. The fundamentalism is in countries like Palestina, where it was Israel. Then the Jews took their houses and put them to live in a similar way they did in Nazi's champs. I think their rage is not so strange, but anyway is OT, just as is OT talking of fundamentalism in saudi arabia. that's Afghanistan! Sure they are Islamic, but no matter. They are person. Dont criticize other cultures/populations when you dont really know them, and especially when you have so much shit to clean in your beloved country of warlover presidents and companies so powerful that they can keep many countries of the third world underdeveloped so that theyll always be cheap..especially childs. Now i stop this just cause i have to think of the shit Berlusconi is making in my country..
