  1. Re:technology on Americans Read Fewer Books · · Score: 1

    I would blame it on the internet, but then I do read a lot more on the internet than i ever would reading a book(Fiction). Plus Books like TV, and movies tend to suck a lot more nowadays. But then it is the same even with non-fiction, it is easier to search and read than to hunt a book down in the library.

  2. Re:Total Cost of Ownership thru the roof on NIST Issues Windows XP Security Guide · · Score: 3, Informative

    Well most people dont do this over and over again on each and every machine. That is we have GPOs (Group Policy Objects), scripting, and tons of third party apps. All those settings were done at my end once, and i update them at the release of every service pack. For security the amount of time i waste is barely nothing

  3. Re:So, windows is affected by a worm? on Evaman Worm Attacks Email Servers · · Score: 1

    which again falls falt when you compare IIS6 and Apache 2. with IIS6 having no holes, and Apache2 having, well look it up yourself. http://www.apacheweek.com/features/security-20

    He aint going answer, cause it is probably just a troll. No one just gets though a firewall, unless there is a huge flaw in it.

  5. Re:NO LONGER USING WIN XP DUE TO SP2 on Evaluating Windows XP Service Pack 2 RC2 · · Score: 1

    My ass it did not work, I have been trying SP2 since Beta2, and I multi boot between, XP, Suse 9.1, Debian unstable, and FreeBSD. (yes I am a OS nutcase)
    So quit spreading FUD... You aint doing anyone a favor.

  6. Re:Who know what scales? on On PHP and Scaling · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should read a bit more about the mono project and ASP.NET. Because right now, I am running a bunch of ASP.NET/Apache2/UNIX.
    There is also SunOne ASP which would let you run ASP on Apache/UNIX based systems.

  7. Re:Bigger risk is to wait on Microsoft's Rush To Xbox 2 A Danger? · · Score: 1

    Yes but if all these companies in different fields still cannot topple MS, it also shows you the amount of power that they also have.

  8. Re:Bah! Still too small... on Seagate Rolls Out 400 GB SATA Drives · · Score: 1

    except that it is not one hard drive. More than likely they have 4 250GB hard drives in them. I have a similar one but it is 320GB with two 160GB hard drives in them from lacie.

  9. Documentation on SMP Now In OpenBSD HEAD · · Score: 1

    Might I add that they have probably the best documentation ever. It is extremely well laid out, and easy to follow. And useful, unlike man pages....

  10. Re:Biased on Searching for the Best Scripting Language · · Score: 1

    Did not notice, java & C# lacked a debugger etc.... Dont exactly think they even belong there, but i agree that the author does seem biased.

  11. vbscript on Searching for the Best Scripting Language · · Score: 1

    Is it just me or where the hell is vbscript on there. I know most people here would rather wipe someones butt than use it, but it is one of popular scripting languages out there.

  12. Re:Looks like this is the way it's gonna be... on Secret Repairs Preceded TCP Flaw Release · · Score: 1

    But as with most MS patches, the vulnerability is rarely ever published before patch. But if someone does decide to, we would be in hell.

    But i do agree about the shrinking time period, i am just waiting for new worms that use one of the new flaws.

  13. Re:He got the word through on LinSpire LPhoto and LSongs: bring on the lawsuits! · · Score: 1

    The Linspire folks have zero imagination and zero respect for other people's work.
    Next thing you would say is that Linux folks have no imagination because they imitated UNIX.
    Geez.... this is just part of evolution of anything, let it be.

    Oh and dont forget the UNIX system in Jurrasic Park either.

    With this, you merely put the calculator between the IDE and document, and rotate your view accordingly.
    And that is easier than hitting Ctrl-Tab or Alt-Tab... give me a break

  16. Re:Windows is not the only vulnerable OS on Ongoing Linux/Solaris Compromise Epidemic · · Score: 1

    same with blaster, and code red, and the humteen other worms on windows. The holes were patched....

    I dont think he/she is joking... it is a valid point...All it is pointing out is for people to watch out. Which a good systems admin would do, and as you point out a bad one would not have.

    And you have all those freedoms with Apples DRM? I have not compared their EULAs, since you seem to have could you let me know....

  19. Re: Lies on New Tool Cracks Apple's FairPlay DRM · · Score: 1

    And what was factually wrong with mine....

    WMP does have all the features in itunes... Itunes is nothing special... the ipod is.

    HP player is not out yet.....And where did i say WMP on OS X has a good interface....The point was simply, WMA has hell of alot more support than AAC+Apple DRM

    Read into the time bomb a little more, you will realize that it used for when you subscribe to lets say Napster premium, you can download music onto your player.

    As you might notice by now, I do do my research.

    well when it comes to that tax i do not agree... But at the same time i belive artists should be given some form of protection from getting ripped off....(not spears, nsync etc.) the smaller ones.

    Yes....Just because you can borrow a video from the local video shop and bring it home does not make it yours.... you still dont own it. Just like you dont own Windows, just like you dont own the technology that goes into making those hard drives...

    Pitiful answer actually

    Apple AAC: iTunes, iPod, Macs, Windows

    Windows WMA: Just about every media player(WMP, real, Winamp, etc), Macs(Yes they have WMP), Windows, atleast 10 different mp3 player manufacturers, and you can burn on CDs (depends on who you buy from and what rights you have

    Dont talk trash unless you really know what you are talking about....
