  1. Re:SCSI Still Better on Western Digital Pulling Out Of SCSI HD Business · · Score: 1

    Theres a better (i did _not_ say faster) alternative to SCSI. Its called USB. Its fast enough for CDR and Scanners. You can hang 127 devices off it. And almost every computer sold today has it. Did i mention you can hot swap devices and they configure themselves automagically...

  11. Why Netscape and not IE? on Netscape Receives Strong Crypto Export Permission · · Score: 1

    When I went to "upgrade" IE 5 from 40-bit to 128-bit encryption it gave me this huge disclaimer:
    Your use of the 128-bit High Encryption Software Component is subject to the following additional terms: Export Notice - The 128-bit High Encryption Software Component contains strong encryption features. The 128-bit High Encryption Software Component may be distributed in the United States, its territories, possessions and dependencies, and Canada without an export license. Export of the 128-bit High Encryption Software Component from the United States is regulated under "EI controls" of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR, 15 CFR 730-744) of the U.S. Commerce Department, Bureau of Export Administration (BXA). An export license or applicable license exception is required to export the 128-bit High Encryption Software Component outside the United States or Canada. For additional information see http://www.microsoft.com/exporting/.

    You agree that you will not directly or indirectly export or re-export the 128-bit High Encryption Software Component (or portions thereof) to any country, other than Canada, or to any person or entity subject to U.S. export restrictions without first obtaining a Commerce Department export license or determining that there is an applicable license exception. You warrant and represent that neither the BXA nor any other U.S. federal agency has suspended, revoked, or denied your export privileges.


    Now why can Netscape export it? Maybe the figure Netscape crashes so much it dosent matter...

  25. Good idea, but it wont work... on Iowa to test forms of Internet voting · · Score: 1

    I think its a great idea to have online voting, but there are still too many problems.
    First off, no operating system is "unhackable" there will always be people hacking it.
    Second, Denial of Service attacks (there was a /. story on this not too long ago, but I dont care to find it). Its fairly easy to take over 100 servers and use them to ping flood the voting servers.
    Lastly, and probably most importantly, how do they know you are you? Your Social Security number is know by your school and your employer. One easy hack and someone could be you. Your drivers license is known by every cop that pulls you over. Fingerprints and retina scans are expensive and require a huge database to be stored on every terminal.

    I think its a great idea to make voting easier to do, but there are too amny problems today...maybe in 2010...
