  1. Two Character Domain Name on Amazon's A9: How Well Is the Hype Justified? · · Score: 1

    How'd they get a 2 char domain name? They must have registered A9.com years ago.

  2. Re:They've got their priorities wrong on Longhorn Will Have Ability to Ban External Storage Devices · · Score: 1

    I should probably explain better... I opened IE. I checked which processes are running. explorer and IEXPLORE were running. I closed IE. IEXPLORE went away. Then i opened My Computer. I typed google.com in there and it went to google. I checked which processes are running and no IEXPLORE.

    If you only deny iexplorer, people can still use IE browse the 'net. I tried it on my machine.

    Why does the seceratary need a P4 anyway???

    Sadly, just to be able to run Windows :-)

  5. Re:They've got their priorities wrong on Longhorn Will Have Ability to Ban External Storage Devices · · Score: 1

    That won't work. You'd need to deny explorer.exe too and if you do that you'll screw windows.

  6. Re:does this apply to windows 2003 server? on Longhorn Will Have Ability to Ban External Storage Devices · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why would the users at your work be physically near a server to put a USB key in?

  7. Eric Andreychek on Unsung Heroes of Open Source Software? · · Score: 4, Informative

    We're using Eric's Openthought software at work. It's great and saves $$$.

  8. Re:I miss return codes on Verisign's Lawsuit Against ICANN Dismissed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    404 error pages are served by the server corresponding to the domain you typed in. if the domain doesn't exist (i.e. doesn't point to a server) then you get the msn search page or the VeriSign thing in the past.

  9. Re:I'm sorry, were you expecting better? on XP2 Spotted In The Wild · · Score: 1

    You're right. When i said there is no difference I meant there is no difference like there is between Home and Pro. It's not like Corp offers features different from Home or Pro.

  10. Re:I'm sorry, were you expecting better? on XP2 Spotted In The Wild · · Score: 1

    The "corporate" part is how the licensing works. It's no different that XP Pro. It means you don't have to bother with Activation.

  11. SUVs on A Flying Leap for Cars? · · Score: 5, Funny

    The last thing we need is flying SUVs.

    and that means you're a bad person and should go to a federal pound-me-in-the-a$$ prison

  13. Re:again? on Composite Of Earth At Night · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It would be neat to use some kind of tool to compare the two pics and see how much brighter/dimmer we are in 2004 than 2000.

  14. Re:Spyware? on Broadband Majority in US · · Score: 1

    Why did you let them know about your video card? Or would they have detected it anyway?

    This Citibank one's even more sophisticated than having an image cover the address bar: http://www.antiphishing.org/phishing_archive/07-05 -04_Citibank_(Citisafe_by_Citibank).html

    You don't say "The Refrigerator is broken and the Food is bad, so let's jump in the Car and go to the Restaurant" do you?

    You gotta teach yourself some of this stuff. I learned PHP, Perl, MySQL, etc etc on my own.

  19. Re:university professors on Fewer Computer Science Majors · · Score: 5, Insightful
    If you want to learn a new language or are that concerned about the OS you use, go to ITT tech or something like that.

    If you want a well-rounded education where they teach you how to think, and focus on wisdom, rather than straight up knowledge which will be obsolete on graduation day anyway, go to a university.

  23. Re:Reminds me of "Quiz Show" on The Man Who Knew Too Much · · Score: 1
    Because of the Quiz Show scandal, Jeopardy and other game shows are monitored very closely by the Standards and Practices guys.

    Just to be a troll, I registered as "HerbStempel" on the Jeopardy message board on jeopardy.com

  24. Re:He's on the wrong show. on The Man Who Knew Too Much · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That's right. Before last night, he got 3 Final Jeopardys wrong in a row. That's big, but not big enough to make him lose on jeopardy. In Millionaire though, he would have multiple choice at least.

  25. eWeek on What Magazines Do You Read? · · Score: 1

    I have a free subscription to eWeek which I enjoy very much. I got tired of tech magazines for the average Joe. eWeek is a little higher class, but still manages to feature stupid MS ads.
