  1. good enterprise antivirus sw? on What's The Actual Cost of A Virus? · · Score: 1

    I work for a small company (10) and we have a mish-mash of norton installed on most of the PC's. We have a few idiots who disable or uninstall it & others don't pay attention & miss when the update subscription runs out. Can anyone point me to reviews or other info about enterprise antivirus sw? I'm looking for something that can be administered & licenced centrally. Thanks!

  2. Is this survey for real? on Microsoft Sends Linux Survey · · Score: 1

    It strikes me as kind of fishy that MS would A) use a third party survey company to do this (or does MS own SurveyMonkey?) or B) allow this at all. I read the article and niether the author nor the LUG got a reply from Frank Williams or Michael Surkan. Is there any more evidence that it's real? I don't know what the motive could be for faking the survey.

  3. Re:apple fixes the price on Finding Holiday Discounts on iPods? · · Score: 1

    Here in MA, there's a legal definition of "sale". I think it has to be 5% (maybe 10%?) less than the regular price. Best Buy got caught by this when they first opened stores here. Of course this doesn't stop stores from publishing flyers with regular prices--they just don't use the word sale.

    If many people started sending cash to the artists, it wouldn't take long before the labels claimed it for themselves.

  5. legacy pc crap on Computer Expectations of Today, and a Decade Hence? · · Score: 1

    I would have expected the PC architecture to be replaced by something new. Instead we keep putting band aids on the existing architecture. We had the 640K memory limit & hard disk size limits at several different places. We still need to ditch bizzaro things like PCI I/O address space shadowing. There's too much pressure to maintain backwards compatibility. Someone should start from scratch.

    While windows has gotten a lot better, I expected a lot more stability by now. Why can a misbehaving app still take down the OS?
