  1. Good, otherwise all NDAs are pointless on Judge Finds For Apple in ThinkSecret Case · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If they didn't win, then all NDAs are pointless because you could just put an anonymous post on some website and not get in trouble for it.

  2. Re:Mail Server on Vonage's CEO Says VoIP Blocking Is 'Censorship' · · Score: 1

    Link? You mean the link that is right under my name for www.ducktapeandglue.com.

  3. Re:Mail Server on Vonage's CEO Says VoIP Blocking Is 'Censorship' · · Score: 1

    Even though my first answer to the post was more about spamming people, I do want to work on my skills by setting up and running my own mail server. I know I can use another port, but I rather use the default so that I know everything is being setup correctly and how it would be when on a job. As for port 80, thats not blocked for me, so I have my site on a PC at home that I can work on and fine tune my abilities to setup Apache.

  4. Mail Server on Vonage's CEO Says VoIP Blocking Is 'Censorship' · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that my ISP that is blocking my port 25 will have to stop if VoIP wins out over the ISPs. Because I want to run a mail server so I can speak to people in large numbers.

  5. Again on 100,000 More Social Security Numbers Exposed · · Score: 1

    Put a celebrity in the Home Land Security Department, then something might get done because only they can attract enough attention to all the flaws to having computers with information connected to the net.

  6. Hold it on Online Trust Failing Overall · · Score: 1

    I could have told you years ago that anything that is connected to a larger network can get stolen. But its only when something happens to a celebrity does it make it in the news and is seen as a problem that needs to be fixed. Damn it, put Justin Timberlake in charge of Home Land Security, then we might get something fixed over there.

  7. Re:Why am I worried.... on IBM to Open Projects at SourceForge.net · · Score: 1

    I would say you shouldn't worry about IBM to much. IBM is betting on hardware and services (support) costing money, while software becomes free and open. MS is trying to go the other way by saying hardware will be free (low cost) while software will cost money. Now is the time where whoever can make the ark fast enough and get the animals on board will last the flood. IBM seems to be winning in my mind, and is picking up speed with this idea, and winning more people over with it, where as no one wants to make hardware for free (or cheaper). Some might ask where this leaves someone like Apple. Apple pretty much is a hardware company, but has a great software division. The only time you have to pay for software is to upgrade or get the high end stuff, so Apple's model will work for many years to come till IBM's free software model produces good tools like the iLife sweet is for the Mac.

  8. Re:I wouldn't say cracked on Napster Has Been Cracked · · Score: 1

    Its more of a crack of Napster's business model, than the DRM they are using. Even if someone was to pay for the service, they could use this work around to keep the music if they wanted too. Thus, breaking Napster's model that you can't keep it once you stop. Now iTunes, you have to buy the song, which then kind of makes it pointless to crack unless you want to use it on linux or another platform that the DRM doesn't work yet. So for the price just under 2 CDs for Napster's service, you can rip as much as you can a month. I personaly don't know 5000 songs that I would want to rip in the 14 day trial, but I do know about 400 or so that I do want, and can take the time to make into MP3s so I can keep them. And not pay.

  9. Re:What about on MS Security Chief Says Windows is Safer Than Linux · · Score: 1

    MS can only hope to hide the bugs they have, and they are doing it at all costs so they don't have to fix them. So what do you do, point the finger at someone else, and blame them.

    Yeah, and how much is her severance pay?

    Its simply stockholm syndrome.

    There is also a remote control unit that you can plug right into the express's USB port to control iTunes remotely. KEYSPAN EXPRESS REMOTE http://www.keyspan.com/products/usb/urm17a/ Works PC or Mac.

  13. Re:64bit is new in OS X Tiger?! on Looking Ahead to Tiger, Powerbook G5s · · Score: 1

    Tiger will be 32 bit with the ability to do better 64 bit addressing. It can do it now, just they are adding more 64 bit abilities to Tiger over Panther. So it is still a 32 bit base I believe.

  14. Re:Tiger on Looking Ahead to Tiger, Powerbook G5s · · Score: 1

    The usually drop hints during the keynotes for when the next release of a major product will come. Like for the iMac, the keynote by jobs before it he looked up Paris and iMac stuff during the keynote. Look for these signs and you will know what is coming next. WWDC is most likely when Tiger will get released. Which is about the end of the 2Q I believe.
