  1. Re:Exactly !!! on Spore the Most Pirated Game of 2008 · · Score: 0

    They already release Videos of game play,they also release small playable versions of games, they also release beta versions. so your argument is moot on blindly spending money on games. There is no reason no matter how you sugar coat it to steal games,period!

  2. Use the money for Mars Landing on Next-Gen Mars Rover In Danger of Cancellation · · Score: 0

    If we are planning on sending men/women to mars,whats the point of sending rovers?? We already have an army of satellites taking just about every kind of measurement/photos/chemical analysis whatever. That money would be well spent on getting our men/women to the planet faster, I'm 51 i want to see it lol. Watching them land on the moon was mesmerizing for the whole world and me as a kid. We really need something like this again.

  3. Re:they don't know what they get until they open t on Netbook Return Rates Much Higher For Linux Than Windows · · Score: 0

    The biggest Linux problem is program compatibility and gaming. If this wasn't a problem just what would the return rate be then. I don't care what people use and i certainly don't care about zealots from either side. If i spend good money on a computer,i want it to run my programs and i also don't want to use some other kind of software to replace what i have. That would be just wasting money. A computer is a tool,and if it doesn't run my tools i don't want it. It has nothing to do with learning.

    I believe that we all have the right to be anonymous up and until the time we do criminal activities,Spamming,phishing,sexual harassment and so on. If they have a tool it should only be used for finding criminals and not government dissidents as it would be used by china and any country that suppresses there people. They should not have access to this tool.

    Why blame our USP,s all the time? I'm on the east coast and just about all the websites here are fast, but anything across the Mississippi and the west coast is slow most of the time. Ive downloaded products from Corel with speeds mostly 300KBps and under, i have a 8Mbps or 16+ boost "Comcast" How can i blame my ISP for the speeds outside there networks or web sites that wont allow anything over 300Kbps and there are allot of them.

    How is this burying there heads in the sand? There is a known problem,and they don't want criminals to abuse this problem until its fixed. Releasing exploits with out it being fixed is irresponsible, period end of store. I am sure 99% of the people here disagree with me, but after years of seeing exploits released to the public only to have criminals take advantage of theses exploits. Why should they try to figure out theses exploits when Black Hats do it for them time and time again. And another thing, what makes everyone thing they want or need help fixing the exploit from the public

  11. Re:They have a point on Microsoft's "Mojave Experiment" Teaser Site Goes Live · · Score: 0

    I agree,and i have found that almost all of theses people never used the MS upgrade adviser,that would told them they needed to upgrade certain parts like it told me. upgrade the processor and graphic board. I bought Vista Ultimate because thats what i wanted, not what the upgrade adviser suggested. So it ran slow. So who's to blame for the computer being slow MS? or me because i ignored what the adviser suggested. Thats just common sense,i have sense upgraded my processor and graphic card and i couldn't be happier. Vista Ultimate now runs like a champ and no crashes and runs all the software i had used with XP with the exception of Nero 8 which i have upgraded also. :)

    I haven't seen anything about how they serve the ads? Are they loaded on someone Else's web site like a few of theses ad-ware programs do?

  16. Re:Spot on! on Full Disclosure and Why Vendors Hate It · · Score: 0

    Just what is a reasonable time to fix a problem? Security company's are just as bad by being unreasonable about how much time a exploit is to be fixed. If a company is lieing to gain more time to fix a problem that means they have had experience with the person or security company before being unreasonable. It goes both ways,and in the end its the consumer who's going to be hurt in the end,no one else. The only fix to this is going to have to be laws and no one wants that. But how many times have company's proven that they cant do the right thing "That goes for the basement exploit finder too"

    I grew up i a town 2 miles from Phila,it was more the criminals killing each other "the Mob" not innocent kids like today,Your cowardly spray and pray criminals. and i didn't say there wasn't porn,it was far harder to get. He probably got it from his dad or uncles or the trash.Today,just flick a switch and there it is.

    And like it or not the facts speak for themselves,not just what i say.People today are far more corrupt then in my youth. There are far more children committing crimes with guns today then when i was 14, its a fact.Its a fact that today there are far more fat kids then in my youth,its a fact.Its a fact that there is less respect for other people today. So in retrospect it is you that is ignorant of the facts. I live in the same town today as when i was 14,Ive seen it get worse with my own eyes,and that my friend is a fact.

  25. Re:Can't verify shit about Internet users on Australia Plans to Censor the Internet · · Score: -1

    I,m 50 and there wasn't an internet when i was 14. We had book and magazine stores which kept the playboy magazines in a brown paper wrapper behind the counter. Pornography was very hard to find and we certainly couldn't buy any. it was pops or the uncles stash we found, but at that age i wasn't really interested in porn,it was way easier to get a real girlfriend then porn when i was growing up.

    We played sports,built plastic models,went fishing by myself or with friends,we all went to the high school football games every Friday nite. Didn't have to worry about drive byes and never herd about adults snatching kids,though i am sure it happened but no where near as much as today.

    How the times have changed

    Who needs porn? There plenty of nudity in todays magazines,ya don't have to even look for it on the internt it just pops up when our children are standing by our side. Ya got sites like Flicker which provide very poor options to block it or even post it. Its common for Adults to upload nudity,masturbation,actual sex acts on there avatars, clearly against the rules. How can ya depend on the parents to protect the kids when there the ones breaking the rules? As i see it, its far more important to protect business interest then doing the right thing now a days. I guess i was lucky, my kids were grown by the time the internet came. But i can tell ya the computer would have been in the living room and a adult filter installed. The internet is amazing for sure, but what i seen at 14 and what our children can see now are light years apart. Allot of people would have went to jail in my day if we had the internet, but i am sure people and business would have been far more responsible then they are now.
