  1. Re:Google dodged the point on Google Barks Back At Microsoft Over Chrome Frame Security · · Score: 0

    Windows XP called, they want their security model back.
    In Vista and Windows 7, all users are normally regular users, but can run programs as administrators much like sudo.
    See http://bit.ly/10KkWr (PDF) for more info.

  2. By this logic... on AT&T Calls Google a Hypocrite On Net Neutrality · · Score: 0

    AT&T, every time someone accesses my website using you as an ISP, you must pay me 5$. If you don't, you're clearly against net neutrality.

  3. Re:Good thing... on Amazon Confirms EC2/S3 Not PCI Level 1 Compliant · · Score: 1

    Well, all I can say is to make your intentions clearer next time.

  5. Re:This being Slashdot... on Iran Tries To Pacify Protesters With Lord of The Rings Marathon · · Score: 0

    In the article: "Movie mad and immunized from international copyright laws, Iranians are normally treated to one or two Hollywood or European movie nights a week." So no, but they don't really care anyways.

  6. Re:Yes, it's suspicious on Chrome EULA Reserves the Right To Filter Your Web · · Score: 0

    http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-xp/ Choose your revision, and run mini_installer.exe Or, extract chrome-win32.zip for a portable version. (it still leaves behind its settings in your AppData directories, though)

  7. Re:Why the need for a USB stick at all? on In UK, 12M Taxpayers Lost With USB Stick · · Score: 0

    There wasn't a massive amount of data stored on that USB stick. It was just an authentication medium for the online government system, which actually stores the data. It's like the difference between putting your key or your house in your pocket. They shut down the service so they could go over their logs and change the passwords, much like I would get my locks changed if I lost my key. Also, to have an encrypted net connection, you have to have some way to authenticate anyways, and then you go right back to problems with storing that stuff on a physical medium.

  8. Re:I'm assuming... on Google Summer of Code Extends to Highschoolers · · Score: 0

    Why does it have to be high school only? Doesn't anybody ever think of the little people? (middle schoolers)
    I'm 14 (8th grade) and I've been programming since I was 10, (also, according to my parents I took apart my first computer at 3 - but I don't remember that) and no one ever has any respect for people like me. I would definitely sign up for this if it were open to me; being too young for a job, I'm always short on money.

    Your true about no manual human checking, but you forgot about Google's PigeonRank http://www.google.com/technology/pigeonrank.html didn't you?

  13. Re:Spyware on Why Does Everyone Hate Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    I agree, one example:
    When I was introducing some friends to the concept of Linux, they asked me what virus scanners etc. were needed.
    When I told them that there was technically no such thing as a virus for Linux (*that is effective), they just laughed.
    I could not and still havent convinced them...
