    The only way to get positive feedback is to not exist, at least if you're in authority. Or in this case, to not invade a country
    Or not kill innocent people
    Or not rape their girls
    Or make a youtube channel

    Seriously, I'm not sure about the first three.
  6. Duh! on Time to End Microsoft's Patch Tuesday? · · Score: 1

    The sheer volume of the patches Microsoft releases each month makes it quite difficult for even the most conscientious IT department to get every patch out to all of the affected systems in a reasonable amount of time. The patches released so frequent are never about security or reliability. They are only to play a blame shifting game.

  8. Re:Dropping the Web-based E-mail Ball on Users Being Migrated To New Version of Hotmail · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why did Microsoft sit on their hands as Google slowly built up their capabilities to match those of Outlook? for teh same reason the didn't upgrade IE for several years. There was no competetion in the webmail space. Yahoo! was virtually the only reliable alternate service and it sucked.

    I guess server load could always be the answer to those questions Are you kidding me? that is how microsoft operates. They never improve a product unless:
    1. Its market place is in danger or
    2. It's a new product.

    Based on my experience of Windows, PocketPC and Linux, Opera has the same rendering engine for all three. Don't know about Wii. The Opera Mobile is a completely different beast though sicne it's based on Java and optimized for small screen rendering and text layout and there is nothing common in it except name.

  13. Re:securid? on VeriSign To Offer Passwords On Bank Card · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not sure if you're serious, but the last securID I used was quite tiny and judging by it's size, I think it can easily be fitted into a credit card without making the card any bigger. Maybe a little thickness increase due to LCD or maybe they can use some alternate technology or thinner LCDs to not change the card at all.

    I fact I'm more concerned about the battery since that will be harder to fit into card and may not last as long or maybe not.

  21. Re:It's possible. on Digital Camera Vs. Camera Phone · · Score: 1

    All of the shots in the review are closeups. Knowing form experience, Camera phones are pretty good at closeups.

    Given that I am quite impressed by SonyEricsson Cybershot series. The K790 is just as good as a Digital camera of that caliber.

    Also since the review focused on a single shot and location, it's hard to see how each of these perform in various lighting conditions and outdoors. Flickr has a camera finder service which makes it much easier to find and review live shots.
