  1. You mean activated by default on Windows XP SP2 Still Rough Around the Edges · · Score: 1

    Installed a beta of SP2 maybe 2-3 months ago. Worked like a charm, and the new firewall is nice.

    Nice? You mean it's nice they activate it by using an "update"?

  2. Depends... on Software Monoculture in Schools? · · Score: 1

    I went to a graphical school for three years. I have seen no Windows PC anywhere. The time I left it was all MacOS 8. Recently I heard they upgraded to MacOSX. For prepress design Windows isn't really an option. I understand a lot of chemical students/scientists work with unix based systems as well. They prefer sheer working power. In their case the choice of OS saves them hardware.

  3. Re:This isn't normal behavior? on Reverse Firewalls As An Anti-Spam Tool · · Score: 1

    I use Kerio too. I use the free version for home users. It also monitors and reports changes to the Windows register and there's extensive logging. It's easy to configure and I had no problems whatsoever. Settings can be exported so it's easy to configure multiple machines. This is a really nice tool to shut up your highly communicative Windows machine.

  4. Re:Man, I'm so sick of this... on New IE Malware Captures Passwords Ahead Of SSL · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hey man, it's open source! Make your own vulnerabilities! Join the development team! Linux can not be taken seriously if there aren't at least 2,000 worms or security holes available. I myself am working on KRURAG. (KDE Random User Root Acces Granting)

  5. Re:Micheal Moore should not be taken too seriously on Fahrenheit 9/11 Discussion · · Score: 1

    There are a *lot* of facts that are rather strange surrounding the attacks on 911. The more you find out about it the more things are strange and unlikely. But they did happen. To talk about using those facts as a *proof* suggests that there's a lawsuit or something. There is not and we are all free to believe what we want to believe. I only find it remarkable how much the information americans got differs from what the rest of the world has seen and heard. To me this explains the difference between the reaction of the Americans and the other inhibitors of this peaceful and quiet blue planet. Oh and please don't take a person who's joking too seriously. :) I won't be surprised if it turns out that the Bush administration lied to it's people. My government lied to my people concerning the war on Iraq. They used dumb wordtricks and vague comments to keep us happy. We all took it and I can not see why the same thing couldn't be happening in another contry.

  6. Re:Business Plan on Linux for Non-Geeks · · Score: 1

    What a great idea! Write a book for your mom and have it published. He could have just printed her a copy on his well supported HP Deskjet.

  7. Disable autorun and other crap on Beastie Boys' New Album Silently Installs DRM Code · · Score: 1

    I use xsetup for tweaking Windows register settings. It tweaks all versions (al two of them :)) and can do many other nice things. It's free, works plugin based and it has a very nice search option.

  8. And what about spoofing? on A Look at the Newly Released Mozilla Firefox 0.9 · · Score: 2, Interesting


    More than 90%? And what about spoofing?
    Shouldn't that give some unreliable results?

    It's just too bad I have to use that extension. :(
