  1. Shady is as Shady Does - Classic Projection on How Videogames Help Fund the Arms Industry · · Score: 1

    since certain powers that be want to continue to slander the fire arms industry as well as anything related to it including first person shooters. This is just another part of the coordinated attempt to continue to put assault rifles in a negative light in an effort to push to take our (Americans) rights away. Non of the recent tragic incidents did any of the murders even us an rifle, only pistols and shotguns. Who is shady now? Could it be the accusers? --The only thing keeping the US government from completely disregarding what the public thinks is that we can legitimately fight back, you take the Americans public ability to hold their own, then we will loose what little influence we have left and China and other interest will have more say in Washington than our self and the whole world would be a little dimmer. What ever happened to personal responsibility, discipline and parenting?

  2. OMFG Give me a break on Google Details and Defends Its Use of Electricity · · Score: 0

    Why do we have to defend ourselves for being paying customers of the power grid! Redic, what is happening to this world! If the Government would get out of the way of the energy sector there would be no legs for this type of sh*t to stand on.

    But I still understand what your getting at. It's like this. Problem #1: People are idiots Fix: There is none Problem #2: Admins and companies are lax with Security Policy. Fix: You let me know what it is after you overcome laziness, apathy and budgets. So someone was like, I'm sick of all this nonsense what can be done to actually fix this? Well like was pointed out, the functionality is all ready there in most endpoint security solutions. Revert to Fix #2. This is not the OS's job, it's the peoples job. I bet the poster is for the nanny state as well.

  5. Re:Tracking? Remote data access? on Intel's Sandy Bridge Processor Has a Kill Switch · · Score: 1

    That was the very first thing that came to mind! Hungry - yeah your right about the phones but dammit I want them to have to do a little more work then run my name through a data base to be able to remotely execute code on my system on my nx laptop!! This whole bit about a rumor is simply naive or purposeful misinformation. so it requires a smartphone or perhaps some wicked CMDA feature... wicked CMDA feature? umm.. there is a data connection to all modern phones, even non smart phones can serf the web these days, patriot act, HELLO! But yes smart phones would be the easiest. If anyone at any decent level in any part of law enforcement wanted to read all your text messages and get your gps location, bet it's as simple as filling out a form. Can they use it in court?? probably not, but that's not the point. I see this as an extreme risk, surely someone will figure out how to disable this feature and publish it. If your someone that says to all that, I have nothing to hide then consider the fact that if anyone can get a 3g connection the CMOS/BIOS level then someone else will be able to as well. Then it's not rocket science to inject code into the guest OS. Brilliant Intel! Besides it wont stop the theft only piss off the thief. Don't let your laptop get stolen and encrypt your disk if you want you data safe.

  6. McAfee is way more the just AV Ya'll on Intel Buys McAfee · · Score: 1

    I work in Info Sec and never touch AV but use McAfee products all the time. Their IPS appliances are magic quad and nice devices at that, Foundstone VA scanners are good and their NexGen firewall has promise. Those are just the McAfee Network Security tools I use daily and are happy with. Let's not forget the signature base AV is limited no matter who makes it. All the bad feels about McAfee or mainly annoyance with the performance of signature based AV technology as a whole.

  7. Ironic, the whole article IS an AD! on Will Mainstream Media Embrace Adblockers? · · Score: 1

    I work for a parent company that owns four major US newspapers, we would NOT want this. We make hundreds of thousands of dollars a day off ads on the papers web sites and everyone knows paper as a medium is on it's way out, not overnight but the stats don't lie in this case. Doesn't everyone like free content anyway? I mean seriously, rather Mc'E'Dees pay for the bandwidth and time to make it work than me. I would, and those are the only options, period regardless of what Obama tells you! This undermines the entire successful business model of commerce on the net. I also do not buy that it would be standard and on by default in five years. This author needs to move to Washington DC, think he'd fit in.

  8. Dizzyness and Confusion? on English DJ Claims Wi-Fi Allergy · · Score: 1

    I for one would be embarrassed to make an international stink about something as trivial as a little extra "wireless phone" signal around making me dizzy and confused when I'm manually putting other mind altering substances. I think he just used internet to stream no name DJ mixes from random web sites and had to pop a few pills w/ a rip from the bong to be able to actually like it, that explain his "dazed and confused" state. Also be careful with all your free love, it's almost twenty ten, you'll catch and STD.

  12. Apache w/ F5's on Best Solution For HA and Network Load Balancing? · · Score: 1

    The "BEST" way to do this would be an application that is coded for session sickyness(that it if your site is databsae run where users login or if you have something like a shopping cart), you would build it out with a back end DB Active-Passive Cluster, then 2 or more active nodes in your HTTP server cluster with an Big IP F5 in front. Now this is quite $$$ but you asked what the best way is so there you have it.

  13. Re:Someone needs to be FIRED on Why Mirroring Is Not a Backup Solution · · Score: 1

    Granted you have a point that it is not a extremely large amount but that's still way more than needed to take database backups. That's what the $1200 computer I mentioned was for, really you could have done it with half that
      Then an hour of a sys admins time to set a cron job to do a database dump then scp or rsync it somewhere. I have customers with 1 /100th the traffic yet they still have database backups. They even grab them manually down to their home machine every couple weeks via a web based open source tool
      Money has no place in defending this even. It's human ignorance or laziness , period

  14. Someone needs to be FIRED on Why Mirroring Is Not a Backup Solution · · Score: 4, Funny

    You pay your infrastructure people to maintain business, continuity I mean the tittle of this post made me go, "Really, no shit" That's like systems admin 101! If the admin was aware then the manager that didn't listen needs to be fired. If the manager listened and they are just run by retards then they got what they deserve. You'd think 17,000 visitors a month would be worth enough to do it right, in add revenue alone. The cost of a consumer machine running linux with a few TB's of SATA space - $1200 How much the company paid to have a system's admin play video games all day - $50,000 The cost of a 17,000 vistor a month site going down because they had no data base backups - Priceless.

    It's not just think differently. It's people wanting to change the Constitution and take away my basic rights! There is freaking audio of Obama stating he feels the Constitution is flawed and he wants to change it. I'm sorry Obama, that's not for you to decide. Oh and your facts are wrong. That 250,000 figure has dropped TWICE. Also I plan on making that much one day since I'm not a lazy. Oh and the top 1% pays 39% of all income tax in America, up from 2% 8 years ago. Thank you congress. So if it wasn't for those top 1% than all the people living off the government might actually have to go get a job. IMAGINE THAT. The "fat cats" everyone's bitching about are the ones actually creating the resources to enable 40% of the public not to pay tax. These are IRS verifiable figures. Stop listening to the media, pull you head out of your ass and get a clue.

You know that Rashid Khalidi, wow is he great, I'll just call him up and see if he can us his ties to talk some sense into people. We'll tell them, why would you want to attack us anyhow. I feel the constitution is fundamentally flawed, but no worries I fix that! In no time at all I'm going to turn this place into a second rate socialistic society just like so many other places. It will no longer be the country, whether they want to admit it or not, everyone looks up to. It will not longer be the country everyone, from Chinese, to South American to Indian to Russian is doing anything in their power to be apart of. They can live in places where individual excellence and hard work is rewarded. So by simply ending our excellence we would no longer be at the top people would just leave us alone.
