  1. Re:This patent is ridiculous on FFII vs. Amazon Gift Ordering Patent · · Score: 1

    determining whether the gift order includes sufficient information so that the gift can be delivered to the recipient; when sufficient information is not provided in the gift order, obtaining delivery information from one or more information sources; and when sufficient delivery information can be obtained from the additional information sources so that the gift can be delivered to the recipient, directing the gift to be sent to the recipient as indicated by the deliver information.

    I suppose this patent could be used as an excuse to stall sending out those christmas gifts next year...

    this makes it sound like the act of consulting a rolodex for an address and using the post office violates Amazon's patent.

    I suppose examples like these are the perfect wake up call to reform the patenting process

    amazon isn't evil, they are heroic crusaders, taking up the horn, the clarion call to reform the system. unite people, yay...

  8. fluxbox: make the OS cool-looking and on OSDL To Start Pushing on Desktop Linux · · Score: 0

    the masses will follow.

    Make fluxbox the default gui. KDE and GNOME are too caught up in chasing the coattails of the windows Way Of Doing Things.

    Fluxbox (and blackbox) are different, and they looking really f-ing cool when you add transparency to windows, lots of flashing dockapps with useful info, and fast looking background pics.

    look at these freakingcoolscreenshots.

    I want my winamp-like OS. No windows look and feel.

    Oo, neon lights...drool, drool, eye candy, flashy things, neat

  10. Re:Paraniod? on Patching Paranoia - How Fast Do You Patch? · · Score: 0

    I'm wondering if your end users need admin access to their local machines in order for SUS to work successfully--if so, Microsoft is once again delivering a solution where they get it half right. As far as my testing has shown, SOMEONE with admin privs has to be actively using each machine in order for the patches to get advertised to it and successfully installed. It seems in the end, I still gotta walk to each client and log in one time to complete the patch process IF I want to maintain a network where sys admin privs are restricted to sys admins.

    Do your users all have local admin privileges?

  16. Re:MS Bashing on Windows Is 'Insecure By Design,' Says Washington Post · · Score: 1, Interesting

    your response is a bit unfair--at least from an sys admin stand-point. home users? oh well. until microsoft figures out a way to allow patching without requiring a reboot, admins are stuck scheduling horrible times to install patches--weekends, after 5:00 pm. This sucks. It's really inconvenient to keep up to date. Yes, i realize this is no excuse, gotta do it.

    Any windows admin who tells you they have uptimes greater than a week are not patching. What's your IP? What's your email address? Visit my website http://ActiveeXploits.com.

    What me worry about linux servers? ssh, apt-get, up2date, during the day, go home at 5:00 pm and enjoy the weekend.

    The article should have touched on how inconvenient windows' security model is too.
