  1. Re:how... Bizzare on Reverse Graffiti · · Score: 1

    Your analogy is flawed. He wasn't ordered by the courts to do community service and clean some building, he did it of his own free will. Put in your analogy that would be like half-cleaning up the kitchen and then later getting in trouble for not completing the task.

  3. Centralization on Should Colleges Monitor Students' PCs? · · Score: 1

    This seems like a 'one step foreword, two steps backward,' approach to network safety as I fear that, under this system, a malicious user would only have to break into one central system to wreak havoc on the entire network.

    This all depends on HOW they set up the system. If they have a server with all the updates on it that it sends out, then yes this would be a bad system. However I highly doubt they would set it up like that for multiple reasons. First it would create the problem stated above, and second it would cause a big bandwidth issue with that server when every computer on the networks is trying to download the update...

    This wouldn't be an issue if they just sent an update requirement to the system, informing them which patches to download off of MICROSOFT's servers. This would also be true for virus protection, using Panda's or Norton's servers for antivirus/firewall updates.

  4. Re:Not unreasonable on Should Colleges Monitor Students' PCs? · · Score: 1

    That wouldn't work. See they are managing a HUGE campus wide network and they can't discover EVERY SINGLE COMPUTER that is vulnerable and disconnect them. So if they are vulnerable and not disconnected, they are still spreading worms/viruses around the network and causing a big problem for the IT department. This way, they wouldn't have as big of a problem because they could just send an update through the system.

    You can't outsource support from India. The average computer idiot can't understand support people today, imagine adding a thick Indian accent over that.

    I can't believe that you actually like Bluecurve, it's the most ugly of styles I've ever seen... Personally, I don't think I could run Mandrake or Fedora. I tried Core 2 test 1, but it was too slow for me. Plus I would always try to run "rpm2tgz" on all RPMs I download.

    I'm not too sure that some of the "bloopers" from Monsters Inc, Bug's Life, and/or Toy Story 2 were necessarily fake per say... They could have been actual screw ups the actors did while doing the voices, then the animators went ahead and made some animations for them.

  18. Re:Sci-fi never does well on TV on Firefly: A Special Feature · · Score: 1

    People want to relate to what they are watching. A sci-fi movie or TV show can do well if you manage to explain the technology and the world without bogging down the plot and by creating a plot and characters people can get into.

    Exactly, that is why Deep Space Nine is/was the only good series of Star Trek.

  22. My Solution to Spim on "Spim" is Latest Online Annoyance · · Score: 1

    Even without the providers assistance, many people who use IM systems are smart enough to limit incoming messages to those from their buddy lists. Still, there must be enough of a success rate to move spimmers to continue messaging users.

    I used to get these about 50-60 times a day, all porn related.


    Examples:

    "Armandina3210398: Hey aeiri! Armandina3210398: We took a video camera to the beach and this is what we got... Some of these girls are just the sexiest little sluts ever! We even caught one masturbating!"

    "Elsa987654321016: Hey aeiri, Come see BIG FAT chicks for FREE!! NO CREDIT CARD NEEDED!"


    Since I operate 3-4 sites, I couldn't really just disable receiving people not from my buddy lists. Well, since I use Trillian Pro 2.0, I just decided, hey, why not just install the Trillian Spam Challenge? After fiddling around with some settings, wow... that thing works like a charm, I haven't gotten any spim since!

    Anyone on Windows and gets spim like crazy should get Trillian Pro 2.0 and the Spam Challenge Plugin.
