  6. Re:Does Vista do anything right? on HardOCP Spends 30 Days With Vista · · Score: 1

    Same again here. The very first thing is to switch off the XP interface and go to windows classic.

    We don't call the XP interface 'cartoony' round my way, we call it 'Playschool' / 'Preschool' :)

  7. Re:Best Employer on Google's Second-Class Citizens · · Score: 1

    Right - To be honest, whenever I've seen 'hourly workers work, they tend to fiddle their hours as much as possible - I've been one for 10 years and have always made a point of not doing precisely that.

    The point being, in this article I think the introduction of timecard stamping is the perfect way to stamp out the 'always stick in 8 hours work, regardless of wether you turned up at 10 and went home at 4" attitude.
     
    ..I've been activley encouradged to do this by the agencies that I procured the work through - I assume it's because they get a slice of what I've been earning before I see it.

    You mean they forgot ELITE, which defined Eve's genre, was technically way ahead of its time, and should be on the list damnit

  10. Sorry, but no ELITE? on The Ten Most Important Games · · Score: 1

    ELITE? Did this not define a genre? Was it not groundbreaking? Is it not culturally significant?

    I onnly looked at this post to see where ELITE was on the list. Pfft.

  11. If your system is 90% idle and a good candidate on Virtualization Is Not All Roses · · Score: 1

    for virtualization... then what the hell were you doing putting those tasks on that box in the first place? it seems that the systems people are saying are ideal for virtualization, really shouldn't have been homed on the hardware they are on in the first place..

  14. smaller than 10x10 already done? on The Wii's MEMS Inventor on Future Technology · · Score: 1

    ok. I could be wrong, so enlighten me please. Fro the article he said he wanted to make _a_ 3 dimensional gyroscope very small. Now, all the posts here saying these things are already done smaller anyway, but listing the fact these products contain multiple gyro's / Xometer's / etc.. Is he saying he wants a single instrument to provide the measurements, as in a single gyro, not 3 or similar? or am I just plain wrong?

  17. Re:Apparently on Information Technology Pros Debate Windows Vista · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ive tried it. it even more of a pain in the arm than XP. I hate XP 'cause it's a pain in the arm. As it goes, OS X is a pain in my arm the same way XP and Vista are. My number one pain in the arm is the fact that, regardless of OS, software thinks it has a right to have your attention right _now_ 'popup *bing* focus change, etc). Until any O/S Fixes it so that only what I damn well want to be the focus of my attention is the focus of my attention, will I start to loose my O/S Rage. Goddamnit, they all do the same job. I like the ones that let me do my job.

  22. spoofing mail addresses on Cisco Warns of Stolen Web Site Passwords · · Score: 1

    Please note that when you send an email to cco-locksmith@cisco.com - the only requirement is that the email is sent from the same email address associated with your userid to receive the return email with the new password. Once this is received you should be able to reset your password to one of your own choosing.

    I'm assuming that once someone does this, the ability to reset you password this way is then removed?

    Otherwise if you send a mail and make it look like it comes from an email address you know was used to register the account, even if the return to mail address doesnt exist, you can have plenty of fun periodically resetting people passwords.

    Or, even if they do remove the ability once it's used, there is then the opportunity to reset all the passwords that havent been done yet.

    And somewhere, theres a list of all these users....
