  1. Biggest security hole? on The Internet's Biggest Security Hole Revealed · · Score: 1

  2. Too busy on Are IT Security Professionals Less Happy? · · Score: 5, Funny

  4. Re:This state controller needs to be fired on California Can't Perform Pay Cut Because of COBOL · · Score: 1

    From Wikipedia on California state controller duties: * As the state's chief fiscal officer, acts as the state's accountant and bookkeeper of all public funds. * Administers the state payroll system and unclaimed property laws. * Serves on numerous boards and commissions including the Board of Equalization, the Board of Control, CalPERS and CalSTRS. * Conducts audits and reviews of state operations. I posit that he has failed to administer the state payroll system and as such needs to be canned and replaced. Part of administrating the system is making sure it is flexible enough to meet the demands of the California Governor.

    You can't fire the state controller. It's an elected position in California. He would need to be impeached or recalled.

  9. Re:huh? on USAF Counter-Terror Funds Buy "Comfort Capsules" · · Score: 1

    While I was a Air Force ROTC Cadet I saw one of these on a base visit. Its basically a posh travel trailer, that they stick into the fuselage of a cargo plane. That way the VIP's can travel around the world in comfort while still on a noisy slow cargo plane.

  14. i was at vandenberg on What Is the Oldest Code Written Still Running? · · Score: 1

    I would vote for the computers running the USAF underground missile silos have not changed since they were built in the 60s. The systems are hardwired so they withstand EMP, and not networked so no viruses. No reason to change a thing.

  15. Re:Don't do the in game story! on BioShock Movie To Be Made By Universal · · Score: 1

    Thats what Bioshock 2 is going to be. A prequel chronicling the fall of Rapture. I doubt they will let the movie give that away before the sequel comes out.

  18. Sufficiently advanced technology on New Dune Movie Confirmed · · Score: 1
    Shame on you! Has the great Clarke taught us nothing? It's not magic, just indistinguishable from it.

    Remember Dune takes place 10,000 years after the Butlerian Jihad, which is 10,000 to 20,000 thousand years from the present day. (in the dune chronology, I know its not real ok). Could you explain the computer you are typing on to a Neanderthal?
