  1. Just a reminder: on GMail Drive Shell Extension · · Score: 1

    Don't trust google. If you plan on using gmail as storage, be sure to use strong crypto. My recommendation would be to tunnel everything through a crypto interface, like linux' device manager or cryptoloop.

  2. wondering.. on Next Generation Stun Guns? · · Score: 1

    are batteries included?

  3. Re:USO on Christmas Gifts for Geeks · · Score: 1

    Nice. I've sent my holiday money to an organization called "Doctors without borders". They are present in 3rd wolrd countries and help everyone who is in need and can't afford a medical exam. I did this for the exact same reason as you, to share my wealth.

  4. In other news.... on SCO Hints at *BSD Lawsuits Next Year, And More · · Score: 1

    an anonymous SCO-Analyst says, that more 60% of kernel developers ate bread before they inserted the infringing code into the linux kernel. SCO CEO Darl McBride therefore announced, that there won't be any lawsuit against bread manufacturers and end-users in the next 90 days.

  5. Pardon my scepticism, but.. on Advanced .NET Remoting · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I have a couple of questions. "...... then quickly moves on to more specifics, entirely focused on generous code examples (which actually work....." Is that a feature of the book? -This is obligatory for Tech-Literature (if it wants to be taken seriously). "Ingo's goal is for you to really understand how the .NET Framework implements remoting." Does anyone here refer to authors (which they respect) by their first name? -It rather seems to me, that TechGuy949 is doing a friend a favor, promoting his book. "......an excellent introduction to the core aspects of remoting, including different types of remoting objects; marshalling objects by reference; serializing objects; and using interfaces to share type information." Im sorry, but if these are the key features of .Net remoting, i dont see anything new, or extraordinary about it. greets DaisyCutter.

  6. Re:I've figured out a way around this... on Is That Cell Phone Tower Watching Me? · · Score: 1

    What makes you think, that turning your cellphone "off" will protect you? The only indication, that your cellphone is off, is that the screen is blank, and thats not really convincing, now is it? I would rather recommend removing the battery.
