  1. Re:gtalk = jabber + voice on Nokia to Put Google Talk on its Linux Tablet · · Score: 5, Informative

    Kopete and Gaim are both working on voice support for Google Talk. Who's to say that Nokia aren't going to use one of these projects?

    Oh wait, what infection are we talking about here? Harsh but true.

    "How is that last one pronounced?" "yuk-ul-sa" Afrikaans for jackels.

  4. Re:Several small issues on Could Nuclear Power Wean the U.S. From Oil? · · Score: 1

    I don't live in the US, but this might still be relevant.

    I think that the biggest obstacle is the people: the majority don't like nuclear power stations because of the questions parent posted. However, these issues aren't as big as they once were. Nuclear power is actually quite safe - I recall a comment someone made that nuclear power stations have fewer deaths than coal powered stations (of course, if something _does_ go wrong, like Chernobyl, there are a huge number of deaths). Also, new technology such as pebble bed reactors are looking very promising: safer than conventional reactors, waste is not as dangerous and easier to maintain.

    I think that nuclear power is the way to do. It's the average person that doesn't like the idea due to safety concerns, and that is the issue that has to be dealt with.

    Quite right FinalCut. I wasn't referring to this specific vulnerability - I was referring to O/OE in general.

    IMHO, it shouldn't even have the "feature". You don't need ActiveX in emails.

    Using more than one method of checking the person's identity e.g. bank card PLUS smart card/biometric etc.

    Just don't use ActiveX - biggest security risk ever. I sincerely hope no one here is using Outlook/Outlook Express.
