  1. ms sez so... on Microsoft Says Vista Most Secure OS Ever · · Score: 1

    how secure it is, is yet to be seen... but sad as it is... many suits will believe it just because MS say is it.

  2. Re:avoidance on Hawking Says Humans Must Go Into Space · · Score: 1

    sure, lets fix the problem of an asteroid the size of texas from hitting our planet. jokes aside, going into space might be the easier, cheaper, less blood spilling solution.

  3. Re:Chairs everywhere! on Ballmer Beaten by Spyware · · Score: 1

    which mean MS is 10 years behind in the malware war.

  4. Re:No weapons! on Techie Fight Clubs Springing Up · · Score: 1

    i think some of these guys are trained... look at the pic.. the guy is using a high knee to his opponent... if you notice he is also controlling the guys head similar to what they do in muay thai kickboxing. sure, u can watch enough UFC tapes and pick up the moves, but just knowing that you need to pull the guys head into your knee (while your knee is hip driven) is a weapon enough.

  5. Re:Digital = infringing? on RIAA Sues XM Satellite Radio · · Score: 1

    ive heard lots of arguements that XM is no better in quality than regular radio and in my experience as an XM subscriber, this is very true sometimes. i pay for XM for less commercials and more of my kind of music... not because i think the quality is any better. so, wasnt the RIAA's arguement all about CD quality music being copied? thats why they didnt care about radio?? digital != high quality all the time... so are they going to start suing internet radio stations because their 96kbps stream is digital and can be stream ripped?

  6. Re:Did you really need a scientist? on Alcohol Powered Muscles · · Score: 2, Funny

    and it also makes me charming and good looking and the girl across the room from is suddenly hot.

  7. Re:In classic comic tradition on Captain America vs. The Patriot Act? · · Score: 3, Funny

    now lets see "Hulk vs DRM" imagine how pissed he would be when he finds out his music player only supports atrac.

  8. Re:I'm not convinced... on OS Virtualization Interview · · Score: 1

    sure, it might not ever become a household word... but it will on the backend, have a big overall effect in general whether anyone is aware of it or not. but more people have been introduced to running an OS on an OS... OS9 on OSX? and just this week i told 3 different people about vmware workstaiton/player as a way to run their old apps.

  9. Re:Isn't 10K too low? on Mozilla Foundation Donates $10K to OpenSSH · · Score: 1

    it sets a good example though. imagine if more companies followed mozilla's lead and started donating $$$... if ibm, novell, RH, whoever each donated 10K, then openbsd/ssh would be in much better shape.

  10. Re:intervention? on New "Dark" Freenet Available for Testing · · Score: 1

    true, but it cant spread it the way p2p can... it also takes some bad press coverage too...

  11. intervention? on New "Dark" Freenet Available for Testing · · Score: 0, Redundant

    sounds like p2p is evolving to avoid the likes of *aa... great to have free speech and all that, but suppose it gets bigger and every child porn nut job hops on it and starts downloading... couldnt the gov/isp's step in and kill it? not sure if its even possible anywhere to outlaw a program/technology...

  12. Re:you are missing the point.... on Microsoft Claims 3.3 million NetWare Migration Win · · Score: 1

    is MS more trusted in making claims/facts than the open source world? if so, then yes, its probably a double standard. if not, then perhaps there is a reason why this is so.

  13. Re:Big news? on iPod Owners Not Thieves · · Score: 1

    and all those MS employees with ipods are also thieves

  14. Re:My Theory of Keyboard Design on New Keyboard Has Just 53 Keys · · Score: 1

    so what youre saying is the French will soon sue us for patent infringement?

  15. dollars and sense on Creating an IS Department? · · Score: 1

    did you show them the numbers? IF your upper managers are sensible, then showing them financial gains should win them over or at least make them stop and think. of course youll probaly need to do so in a way that they like to see and are used to seeing.

  16. Re:What does EAL4 mean? on Windows Gets Independent Security Certification · · Score: 1

    it probaly sounds really cool to non-technical executives.

  17. Re:great, another point of failure on Mazda Switches To USB Keys · · Score: 1

    well there is a place you can shove the USB key that your employer probaly wont bother to (or want to) check... but they might get curious about why you walk funny and can't sit for more than 30 seconds.

  18. Re:Water City on 9 Weeks to Pump Out New Orleans? · · Score: 1

    "And the mosquitoes. Mosquitoes suck." they also swallow.

  19. in MY experience on What's the Point of IT Certifications? · · Score: 1

    certs only mean something to HR and management that has not worked in the trenches and have not taken any of these exams to realize they dont teach you much about real world scenarios.

  20. Re:Finally... on Japanese Researchers Develop Sensor Skin · · Score: 1

    making a robot look more human still doesnt make it look completely human. especially since itll probaly only look human enough to be creepy. kinda like the computer rendered movies like Final Fantasy... sure it looks real-ish... but the characters are still somewhat lifeless.

  21. so... on Honeymonkeys Discover Undisclosed Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    if i RTFA correctly, their honeymonkeynet found a new 0day that was previously unknown? a vulnerability that has been out there for who knows how long and has been used to exploit an unknown # of surfers? i do recall a while back some MS spokesperson saying something about how patching is bad because their patches are reverse engineered into exploits and how if MS didnt release patches, then no one would be able to write exploits... i guess that argument has been thrown out the window (again).

  22. Re:Unsurprising! on Google Gives Reason Why it is Built on Linux · · Score: 1

    where is this code? if it was added to the linux kernel then id imagine it's available for anyone to use?

  23. Kai-Fu fighting! on Microsoft Sues Google For Hiring MS Exec · · Score: 1

    MS and Google were Kai-Fu fighting... those cats were fast as lightening...

  24. Lotto! on New Model Solves Grandfather Paradox · · Score: 1

    so my master plan of traveling back in time and giving myself winning lotto numbers wont work because ive already observed myself being broke as a joke?!?!

  25. Re:naturally... on Nerds Make Better Lovers · · Score: 1

    -have access to gigs of pr0n havested online to use as passive'tutorials'.

    ok, maybe not.
