  1. Predicting a Security Hole on Microsoft's Upcoming Desktop Search Tool · · Score: 5, Insightful

    With the OS, Outlook, and searching integrated, I forsee entire personal mailboxes being accidentally searchable by the rest of the world. The best part will be that's it'll the default configuration.

  2. What's the big deal? on LinuxCertified LC2430 Laptop Review · · Score: 1, Informative

    My Sager 5600matched this machine 2 years ago for ~$200? more. It's been running each release of RH (well, 7.2, 8, 8.1B, 9, FC1, FC2) since I've owned it, nary a problem.

    The specs on this machine are underwhelming. The Radeon 9000 is so, um, 2001. Save for a few weeks more and pick up one of these to get your TV tuner, etc., too.

  3. Re:Huh? Who isn't online yet? on Firefox - The Platform · · Score: 1

    ...what many fail to realize is that the practice management side of medicine has *no interest* in charging down the digital lane properly. Why not? Because every piece of paper introduces a delay, if not denial, of payment by private insurance.

    I've worked in this business for 15 years and things haven't changed. Even (most of) those insurance companies that "require" electronic transmission of claims use the process for denial and delay.

    And don't even mention HIPAA.

  4. Re:Thanks, Neal! on Neal Stephenson Responds With Wit and Humor · · Score: 1

    Frankly, dodging a firefight is worth the effort if the result is a fresh one from Brewer's Art. God's milk.

  5. Sager/Clevo on Uncompressed TV Video Over USB 2.0 from ATI · · Score: 1

    The 8xxx notebook series of Sager (AKA Clevo, Alienware, etc.) have had TV inputs for years.

  6. Re:1960's Solution.. on Building A Homebrew Robotic Lawnmower? · · Score: 1

    ...this is exactly what my grandfather did back in the 50s and 60s. He is an amazing combination of cheap and handy, so he rigged up a motor to his push mower and tied it to a 4x4 in the center of his lawn. He'd see a few patients (he was a country doctor) and then run out to finish the corners. For him, to mow the lawn for free while seeing a few patients...heaven.
