  1. Re:SOX is choking our companies, kill it. on SarBox Lawsuit Could Rewrite IT Compliance Rules · · Score: 1

    Also look at HealthSouth, which never would have been found out if it weren't for SOX.

    I think we need to keep it around, but a better breed of companies need to come around to take the pain out of it.

  2. Surgically Remove One Myth... on Harvard Says Computers Don't Save Hospitals Money · · Score: 1

    ... and surgically insert another.

  3. Re:News Flash on iPhone 3.1 Spotted In Field Testing · · Score: 1

    I'm waiting for the story tomorrow, when iphone 6,9 is discovered in the wild.

  4. Re:Editors can't delete articles on Wikipedia Disputes Editor Exodus Claims · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Actually, mdwd2, you are wrong.

    This did happen, without warning. Was it admins instead of editors? I can't say.

    Do I believe the same rush you felt, telling me my experiences were invalid, is behind many of the bad experiences people have with Wikipedia?

    You betcha'.

  5. Re:My own experience. on Wikipedia Disputes Editor Exodus Claims · · Score: 3, Informative

    I've had similar experiences.

    I think the editors probably do a lot of good overall, but they tend to be heavy handed, deleting whole articles without warning rather than striking parts they find objectionable (which I think is more the intended role of the editor).

    Further, I've seen cases where one editor will request better sources, and a second will just delete it (rather than nominate it for 7-day deletion). Kind of annoying.

  6. "Whaaaaaa!" on Security Firms Can't Protect iPhone From Threats · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's all I hear.

  7. The other reason for doing this on Facebook Stock Going Public? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The other reason for doing this is if you plan on distributing profits based on shares.

    You can give more money to some people while giving the illusion of ownership to all.

  8. Arthur Miller, anyone? on Man Pleads Guilty To Selling Fake Chips To US Navy · · Score: 1

    All My Sons?

  9. Re:Value Added Reseller on Man Pleads Guilty To Selling Fake Chips To US Navy · · Score: 1

    Thank god for this (not the bureaucratic mess part, the small business part).

  10. Re:Instead of complaining, game the system. on Bing Cashback Can Cost You Money · · Score: 1

    I agree completely.

    I hate this "the world doesn't work the way I want it to... WHAAAAA!" attitude that has cropped up on slashdot lately.

    Let's crack this problem wide open.

  11. Ass-plode on Is That Sushi Hazardous To Your Health? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm more interested in hearing what kinds of places serve the bad sushi, so I can avoid those.

    I will not be avoiding sushi.

    I've already bought into the fact I'm eating raw fish.

  12. How is this going to get made Apple's fault? on First Malicious iPhone Worm In the Wild · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So Apple has been working hard to keep jailbreaking down to a minimum. Now it is discovered that some jailbroken phones with jailbroken apps have security issues.

    How is someone going to now turn this around and blame Apple?

  13. You need the source code to determine this? on iPhone Owners Demand To See Apple Source Code · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Really? You need the source code to determine the phone was locked into a carrier?

    How about reading the service agreement.

  14. Re:Where is second life big? on Second Life To Remove Free Content From Web Search · · Score: 1

    Looks like a banner day for "first" life!

  15. App process is annoying. Not impossible. on Respected Developers Begin Fleeing the App Store · · Score: 1

    Yes, you may get rejected for no understandable reason, but you also get accepted without any major modification.

    To clarify, Steve Jobs is not personally approving all apps.

    Some recent college grad with an unknown degree and a checklist is doing this work, which is why it's kind of random.

    The iTunes store has so many advantages, it's worth the hassle.

  16. Use it or Lose it on Chicago's Camera Network Is Everywhere · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They're going to have to disclose them, sooner or later, if they want to use them as evidence.

    With the cameras, wireless technology, and storage so cheap, I've got to think Chicago won't be the first. Some areas in Philly sure could use something like that.

    The SBIR program issued several requests to do something similar in Bagdad, although I don't know if it ever got done.

    They wanted the ability to see a car of bad-guys do something, and follow them in reverse-time back to their hideout.

  17. From one end to the other on Becoming Agile · · Score: 4, Interesting

    So we've gone from over-designing systems to under-designing systems.

    How about right-designing a system based on the complexity of the scope and the key personnel involved?

    Is that crazy?

  18. Obvious on Public School Teachers Selling Lesson Plans Online · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm glad this argument unfolded exactly as predicted, with "they did it on our dime" vs. "they did it on their own time" arguments abounding.

    The only thing I don't see here is a "they only work 8 months a year but get paid for the whole year, screw them" argument.

    No one, including the original article, asks whose money is being used to BUY the lesson plans.

  19. Re:Solving the wrong problem on HTTP Intermediary Layer From Google Could Dramatically Speed Up the Web · · Score: 2, Funny

    So if Google sped up the non-ad web, they would have more room for their ads?

    SNEAKY!!

  20. MS Innovations have never been about Design on Microsoft Responds To "Like OS X" Comment · · Score: 0, Troll

    MS innovations have always been in Marketing themselves.

  21. Re:Much more specific than the summary suggests on Microsoft Patents Sudo's Behavior · · Score: 1

    I read it the same way you do. They're looking to patent a more useful GUI version of SUDO, not that functionality itself.

    One in which the system figures out who can run the task, and presents the option to login as them.

    I get annoyed as much as the next guy as MS, but this article is misleading.

  22. This is what China does on China Lauds iPhone App That Spreads Gov't Views · · Score: 1

    Not sure why anyone would be shocked by this.

  23. The Best Part on Glenn Beck Loses Dispute Over Parody Domain · · Score: 1

    In my opinion, the best part of the whole ordeal, was the fact that after the parody won, the owner handed the domain name over to Beck anyway.

    This means Beck will be forced to:

    1) Let the domain registration lapse, and be taken up by squatters who will use him good name in vain, or

    2) Keep the registration paid, and forever, for the rest of Beck's life, have to PAY to keep DidGlennBeckRapeAndMurderAYoungGirlIn1990.com out of the hands of squatters.

    HAHAHAHAH.

  24. Hire a Multimedia Company on On-Demand Video + CMS + Interactive Input For Museum? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Don't hire an IT company. This is not primarily an IT job.

    You want someone who can design interfaces, design interesting exhibits and instructional interactivities, and who can work with technical people to make it happen.
