    This must be the dumbest idea i've heard since joining Microsoft.

  6. Re:Accidental pornographers? on Tech Lessons From the Bad Guys · · Score: 1

    simple. just replace your name with the name of your boss in the company's proxyserver log files. then you call upper management. once they see the log files, your boss will be an "accidental porn surfer".

  10. Re:Yes on Is Linux Out of Touch With the Average User? · · Score: 1

    There are millions of users out there who just get on and use their PCs without any real difficulty

    Mostly because they are not aware of the problems. How many of those pc's are zombified, infected, or otherwise compromised?

  11. Re:OLGA taught me guitar. on Threat To Free, Legal Guitar Tablature Online · · Score: 2

    Some bands publish their own tabs as part of their promotion. You might want to check out http://www.blacklabelsociety.net/modules.php?name= Tabs_and_Lyrics . Zakk doesn't care about tabs or bootlegging, since he really makes his money by touring. Most musicians do.

  12. Re:Well, I need the explanation I guess on Scientologists In Row With BBC · · Score: 1

    That really means: thou shalt not kill within thy group.

    That interpretation does not follow from the given text. The text clearly states: "Thou shalt not kill", period.

  13. Re:Are they really improvements? on Using Technology to Enhance Humans · · Score: 0

    My father uses technology to stay alive. His pacemaker is a good example of how people can get "enslaved by technology".

  14. Re:So how do you know if you're affected? on Soldiers Can't Blog Without Approval · · Score: 1

    so the US government is trying to get a grip on the information about the war in iraq. this seems quite normal for a country at war.

    No, that's not true.

    Laptop with XP and Linux. (useful for about anything.)
    XP Workstation (used as harddisk recording system)
    Linux workstation (for fun & profit)
    Linux server (for fun&profit)
    HTC universal pda (web-browsing, e-mail, pda)

    so... 5 pc's seems pretty standard to me.

  21. Re:Who would want to? on EU Rejects Microsoft Royalty Proposal · · Score: 2, Insightful

    For a lot of companies the calendar function in exchange /outlook is just as important as email. that's one of the main reasons why they stay with microsoft exchange.

  22. Re:"I think the disks need to be defragged" on SANs and Excessive Disk Utilization? · · Score: 1

  23. Re:SANS don't need to be defragged... on SANs and Excessive Disk Utilization? · · Score: 1

    the consensus seems to be that there is
    a) too little information
    b) no good reason to associate the problem with the SAN and
    c) a noted problem with the profiles you are using.

  24. Re:Who's San Box is it? on SANs and Excessive Disk Utilization? · · Score: 1

    Windows network, right? don't know much about that, but let's try.
    the problems started after splitting the pdc and the file/print sharing. where are the profiles stored? on the pdc or on the file/print server? try moving them to the server that really needs them at login time.

  25. Re:Bloomin' OS X copycats on Using Safari Slows Your System? · · Score: 2, Funny
