  1. April 1st is really early this year on Full-Disclosure Security List Suspended Indefinitely · · Score: 1

    You've got me good this time. This was the funniest thing I heard in the past few years

  2. Re:This is only one layer. on Swartz-Designed Whistleblower Tool "SecureDrop" Launched · · Score: 1

    I would think there is a serial number embedded somewhere, that points to the pos for the unit. Then you can trace from there.

  3. Re:I moved to kubuntu on Ubuntu 11.10 ('Oneiric Ocelot') Released · · Score: 1

    I did the same thing, but with the 10.10 the developers decided to remove some key legacy devices (/dev/dsp) and the new graphics drivers (in Kubuntu not sure about the Gnome version) are choppy and crash applications for Science research like Pymol all the time. Although I found a simple fix, boot from Debian squeeze CD, install and all problems gone.

  4. Speaking of BlueTooth... on The (Big) Problem With RIM · · Score: 1

    Five years ago the first blackberry devices were introduces with blue-tooth technology. This was I believe the first smart phone device to have it built in on the market. Most laptops had different blue-tooth stacks and the BDM software was not able to interact with them unless it was modified through inf files on windows platforms. Now after three years of having an IPhone, I've been given by the new company a new torch RIM device. So i decided to sync or tether using my Asus laptop with a build-in Toshiba BT stack. To my surprise it still doesn't work. This and many other unpolished or dumb-ass reasons RIM will not stand a chance with its "We don't care attitude". Regards, A

  5. Internet Explorer 9 and EMC a match in haven on Microsoft Exploits Firefox 4 Uproar, Beats IE Drum · · Score: 2

    EMC needs to be force-closed if IE9 is installed. This is a issue that was first discovered in March. Is that a feature?

  6. Protected Audio / Video Path on Intel's Sandy Bridge Processor Has a Kill Switch · · Score: 1

    Will the above feature also be enabled on these chips?

  7. Re:I dont use... on What Free Antivirus Do You Install On Windows? · · Score: 1

    Two weeks ago installed windows xp-pro on a laptop with all security updates etc. Java (the latest), Foxit (the latest), IE8 etc. to keep it short. I setup a user account, added it to a domain, set the user as "Power user" (no admin rights). Pufff, done in less than two weeks. Pop-ups slow as sin. Words of advice, install an AV it might not work well and give you a false sense of security, but might last a bit longer between re-preps. I never tried the Microsoft AV, but from what I read. it's free.

  8. Re:Thunderbird Public Service Announcement on Outage Knocks Gmail Offline For Many Users · · Score: 1

    Try making it work, It is been broken for a few months as Microsoft did the update to their new and shiny Net framework. There might be also a conflict as you will not use a browser and will not get bombarded with advertisement. So not in the interest of Microsoft. Also I strongly disagree with building these heavy email monopolies that will brake in due course most of the mail servers on the net just like Yahoo is doing it lately.

  9. Re:Whoops on Nuclear Subs 'Collide In Ocean' · · Score: 1

    A French and a British submarine collide in the middle of the Atlantic...; and it's not a beggining to a joke -_-

  10. Re:There isn't an alternative. Next question. on Best FOSS Active Directory Alternative? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    SBS is wonderful, if you have 5 users on the system. Additional licenses will kill you...., oh yeah, love the Exchange integration and no backup AD controllers. SBS is a crippled pos. One other thing I found to be quite interesting with MS AD servers, how does one manage hundreds of systems being re-prepped or replaced from the AD. I haven't found any good way to manage computers in the AD.

  11. Re:Belkin are dodgy on Belkin's Amazon Rep Paying For Fake Online Reviews · · Score: 1

    I must agree with this statement. I experienced and issue with Alcatel HomeTouch modems and Belkin routers, these DSL modems been on the market for nine odd years never had a problem with them. Bought 20 or so Belkin wireless routers and none would establish a DSL connection. After changing several routers from different manufacturer the problem was isolated to be the Belkin routers. Reported the problem to tech support, in India I guess, two months passed and still no fix.

  12. Re:This is ridiculous... on Mod Chips Legal In the UK · · Score: 1

    This is retarded! First Device when modified becomes illegal as to cause severe harm. Second Device when purchased and modified provides a more complete entertainment system. How comparing the two is "Insightful" ?????

  15. Re:AMD has still a little head start... on AMD To Shed 10% of Its Workforce · · Score: 1

    AMD needs to start developing they're own chipset. With CPU's sitting on third party crappy chipsets, the true performance of the CPU will never be revealed. Lets take for example Intel, I have not had any luck with any third party chipset manufacturer for Intel CPU's.

  18. Re:I don't get the big deal.... on The Real Body Snatchers · · Score: 1

    To stop this type of behavior, death of a person should be tracked in just the same manner as birth is. It is to say that, individuals with bad "money/power hunger" syndrome should not be allowed to run amok, instead a Government should have a better control of such places; funeral homes etc.

  20. Re:Asus Site Is Always A Mess Anyway on Asus.com Compromised With Exploit Code · · Score: 5, Informative

    I second that. They use M$ ftp servers with download speeds of 7MB per second. They have an issue since 2000 and never been able to fix their website. What a shame for a company that deals with technology. The funny thing is on their download site they have four locations like: Global, USA, China, Europe, Japan, but all are coming of the same subnet. Morons.
