  1. You get what you pay for. on Why Should I Trust My Network Administrator? · · Score: 1

    Your the ones writing the checks so I am sure you can have them sit in your office if you paid them enough.

  2. Wated Effort on Getting a Classic PC Working After 25 Years? · · Score: 1

    I did this a while back and after spending countless hours messing with it and finally getting it to work I asked myself "now what?" and put it back in the box!

  3. Re:No Backup?? on Seattle Data Center Outage Disrupts E-Commerce · · Score: 1

    When this happens in this day and age the CIO should be fired! There is no excuse. It's a situation where you gamble that this will never happen but when it does you should go.

  4. This is ridiculous on Computer Spies Breach $300B Fighter-Jet Project · · Score: 1

    These reports always get me. Why is a secret government system connected in anyway to the internet? There can be no logical reason for this. All classified systems should not even be touching the net. And if they do they should have one choke point to filter and monitor.

  5. Re:no, blow it OUT your ass on Mississippi Passes Law To Ban Traffic Light Cameras · · Score: 1

    Are you serious? So its okay for you to run through a red light until it is you, your friends or your family get hit or killed by someone with the same ridiculous idea? Lights are not there to generate revenue but to make order from chaos. If everyone thought like it wouldn't be safe for anyone to drive. Laws are there to allow everyone to live together in this jammed up world. There has to be a penalty for breaking the laws. A machine doesn't eat doughnuts and write tickets because it doesn't like you. Everyone gets treated the same way. I will however give you this much. Some communities do skew these devices to generate revenues. But an intelligent person can figure those out and work around them. EOT

  6. Re:no, blow it OUT your ass on Mississippi Passes Law To Ban Traffic Light Cameras · · Score: 1

    Its very simple for simple people! If you run a red light you have to pay! If you don't want to pay then stop when the light is yellow instead of trying to run through it. Get over it! Protest something that has meaning like the government eavesdropping on our phone conversations!

  7. Invasion of Privacy My Arse! on Mississippi Passes Law To Ban Traffic Light Cameras · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I am sick and tired of people whining about this. When you are on a public roadway and you break the law by running a light then just own up to it, and pay your fine! As we jam more and more people into our society your individual rights shrink. Your rights to privacy do not extend beyond your person! Too many people run red lights these days and cause millions of dollars in damages and lost lives! We don't have enough funds to police the intersections so using cameras is perfectly acceptable. Get over it!

  8. Are these guys Nuts! on 3-Man Team Begins Ice-Survey Trek To the North Pole · · Score: 1

    Are these guys pain junkies! Why not get choppered there and get dropped of with all your equipment and get picked up when they are done? Dude this is the 21st century! People fly to the Pole for lunch there days.

  9. Cancel Their Contract! on US Nuclear Weapons Lab Loses 67 Computers · · Score: 1

    What does it take for this University to lose the contract with the U.S. Government? These guys have the worst security in the world and yet Washington keeps giving them the contract! Must be some payola going on.

  10. Platform on When Should We Ditch Our Platform? · · Score: 1

    I would venture a guess that the "Platform" you are referring to is Linux and Apache and you were raised on Microsoft. Keep the platform, hire somebody with the skills as they are a dime a dozen and learn something.

  11. Re:That Does It! I am moving to the arctic! on Ford Claims Ownership Of Your Pictures · · Score: 1

    This is getting out of control. I wonder how much of this people will take before saying enough is enough and quit buying products from companies like this. Until we do they will keep pushing back on us.
