  1. Re:Could someone please... on Intel Macs May Boot Windows XP After All · · Score: 1

    I have a bank account, that handles online transactions, but only in "I fucking E" !!! I have to find a win box that is secure enough to make my transactions.... that sucks dirty ass.... next time, think before posting, just for a minute...

  2. Be done with it already! on MIT Startup Tests Top Million Sites for Spyware · · Score: 2, Funny

    If you are in charge of network security in any capacity, you understand that it is "your job" to stop this kind of traffic at the peremiter, if your systems are so complex that you can't configure what you have to do it, get a Barracuda Spyware Firewall, I have said it before in numorous posts about Spyware and Adware and Malware ad nauseaum, why is this concept so hard for Sys admins, engineers etc to embrace? Treat the internet like a singles bar, would you screw anybody you met there with out a condom??? I didn't think so, so treat your computer/network like a dick. Use a third party protection device if necessary.

    Do your best to educate home users, but talking about computer security is like discussing Politics, Religion or Sports at the dinner table, everyone has their own beliefs.

  5. Re:To answer your question... on Windows on Intel Macs - Yes or No? · · Score: 1

    To run the thousands of apps that don't even have an Apple equivilent, happens in business all the time.... We have many apps that are business critical, but on only windoze. I have had it with third party hardware vendors, Dell is well Dell, Hp can't make up it's mind what it is, and most others sell "cheap stuff". Mac Hardware rules.... Throught out the day, both in personal and private life, I use 5 different macs, all the way from my iMac G5 at work, to my Alum. PB G4 to my lowly iMac DV G3 running Tiger Server! So the answer is to reap the best of both worlds. ;-}

  6. Moderation Auto Pilot? on On the Matter of Slashdot Story Selection · · Score: 1

    Funny, I was scored 1 on my previous post. I looked, and then I searched... about 60 posts scored 1, about 7 scored 2, about 10 scored 3, I have never seen so many ass kissing 4's on any topic, some people shit all over this site and get 4. Is there an auto pilot left on???

  7. I don't have time to read 700 replies on On the Matter of Slashdot Story Selection · · Score: 1

    Read other people's messages before posting your own to avoid simply duplicating what has already been said.
    (in fact, I don't have time to submit stories anymore either)

    I thought that the more people that "voted", "chimed in" or sounded off" the more realistic the outcome of the discussion would be? Wrong again I guess. What the hell are mod points for anyway?? Is it the "electronic" slap on the ass athletes give each other?? No thanks. Can I get laid with mod points? I didn't think, so I say do away with mod points, (they seem to inflate egos and create "old boy" networks). Let people post real mods, like: "Hey thanks, great info it was totally helpful!" or " What does this have to do with the price of rice in China?" As operators of the site you should be able to say, "Shut up, take your ball and go home if you don't like it" The site belongs to you, you'll do the right thing.

    More like the Gates of Delirium, YES! Ahhh OOOhhhhh YES, I have my money back, finally! I bought windows way over priced, now I get hired by windows, YES! way over priced! YES!

    BTW, you can make the Screen of Death any color you want... and the fonts too.... I read that here on the dot recently, but I read so much garbage, I forgot where it was.....

  10. Who needs encryption! use family sarcasm on How To Enable Mom w/ Encrypted E-Mail? · · Score: 2, Funny

    If the feds or any other government agency could really interpret what "IS" really meant when my bro says "Christmas is at Aunt Bertha's next year, the kids can't wait, it will be fun for all." --- Translation: "Shit! crazy Aunt Bertha and her big, smelly dogs are hosting christmas this year, we all have to go kids included, that means cousin Steve's terror tribe will be there too, that's gonna suck!"
    So you can see that family sarcasm can easily eliminate the need for encryption.

  13. Call Me a TROLL: Who needs a tool bar? on A Better Anti-Phishing Toolbar? · · Score: 1

    If you are dumb enough to help Person X from country X based on an e-mail.... send me your money, and tell me before I hire you. If you get sucked into something about your bank/credit card via the internet, too bad for not asking a stooge at the institution. If people can't follow these simple steps:
    1. If you don't know them you don't owe them. HIT DELETE
    2. Your financial Institutes will never ask you via e-mail for any info. Call the institution and tell them what you have received.
    3. If in doubt, ALWAYS sleep on the decision.
    I leave you with these thoughts, would you give anybody a blank signed check? (remember those) Or would you give your your PIN or Password to anybody?
    And on the lighter side, cordless drills, orbital sanders and the various saws would love a tool bar! I know I can use a drink at then end of the day... :-}>

    We just followed the advertising, and have a pair of Barracuda's in place, one for spyware and the like, and the other for spam, that is a killer one-two.

  20. Re:Personally...re-think that.... on Antispyware Shootout · · Score: 1

    Don't hit me... but I think you are wearing blinders here. Try a product called "hitmanpro" you will find more spyware or worse. Please don't be fooled that because you have good performance, you are clean. I work at least once a week on a pc either infected with a trojan or 1000's of instances of adware/spyware/malware. I see Ad-Aware on the desktop, and ask, "Do you use this?" Usually I hear, "Well, I used to run it, but not so much anymore."
    I read lots about Mac and LInux kudos, and there is some basis in this fanfare. I personally use windows to stay current with my job, and not really for much more. I have a few Powerbooks about the house. They never give me trouble with any of the above problems. It just makes sense.

I am tingly all over;>0 These "purpose built" appliances work 24/7, no tinkering needed or allowed! I even see the ads for the Cuda networks here on the dot.... why is this guy trying to re-invent the wheel? Too much free time perhaps? must be an inventor....
