  1. Just one question from me on IBM Offers to Send Laid-Off Staff to Other Countries · · Score: 1

    Why should I, as an American Citizen, have to move to a foreign country just to keep the same job I had here and get paid less for doing it and have to work more hours?!? I don't see how this is ok, nor do I plan on being converted to seeing it as ok.

  2. Re:I don't know on Comcast's Congestion Catch-22 · · Score: 1

    Really? I happen to have left the basement a year ago! so there! :o)

    Since when is Canada a first world country, EH? I guess if they based such things on beer quality and skiing they would be.

  4. Re:NICE! on Debian For Android Installer Released · · Score: 1

    Holy Crap man! Now you have me wanting to play. I have not tried, but I have heard that a 8 or 16 gig micro-sd will work in them, do you know if that is true? If so, I may give this a shot...mostly because it just sounds fun.

    I have the phone, but I am not so sure I am willing to do this...

    HYPOXIA!!

  7. Re:Easy Fix on iPhones, FStream and the Death of Satellite Radio · · Score: 1

    Why is it that when a company is having a hard time, a gaggle of people start saying they should give their service away for free? While I would enjoy having free commercial free radio, I know that giving your service away for free is not a business plan. This has to be one of the weakest stances that links back to the mid to late 90's dot com bubble burst, and people are still thinking it will work...WTF people?!?

  8. Grow up people. on Barack Obama Wins US Presidency · · Score: 1

    Al-Queda, WAR!, Economy, BLACK PEOPLE, FAIL!, etc.. Fear mongering and idiot remarks about how Obama is going to fail because he is either black, leftist and what ever else you bunch of asshats are saying is worse than any lies either candidate told during the campaign. Stop being such a bunch of douchebag negative shit packers and realize that Obama has given HOPE back to a once great nation. I for one am very pleased that we have cleared the crap from the white house and will have someone who will focus on domestic affairs. Everyone, whether or not they will admit it, will benefit from a Democrat being elected. Now I am going back over to Digg to celebrate with some people who I can mod down for not seeing things my way! :o)

    Damn...how did you know?!? Sorry...I guess I did a 13th floor on myself there :o)

  10. Mmmmm... on NASA Orbiter Reveals Details of a Moister Mars · · Score: 0

    Nothing like a moist planet to get me going! But really...Why does water signify life? I have seen lakes that were so saline or full of some organism that they could not support life. Like the person up there said...show me some fossils or little green men, or I am not going to fall for it.

  11. Re:you are wasting company money. on How To Deploy a Game Console In the Office? · · Score: 1

    I don't work for Google, but I work WAY more than 55 hours a week...I don't play games tho, so maybe I should STFU! Anyway...if people have something to pull them away from work on occasion, it is a good thing, if it takes a game console to do that, so be it, but you WILL undoubtedly have some who abuse it.

  12. Amen! on Schneier on Security · · Score: 1

    Preach on Brother Bruce!! I don't know how many times I have heard a "C" level person say something like..."So, once we buy XYZ product, we will be secure, Right?" It makes me cringe!!

  13. I don't get it... on F-Secure Calls For "Internetpol" To Fight Crimeware · · Score: 1

    Are they admitting defeat, that they can't make a good product, or are they asking for the government to create an anti-virus "Oversight Board"???

  14. Re:What's Next.... on Banjo Used In Brain Surgery · · Score: 1

    I don't currently have mod points, but I enjoyed your humor!

  15. Re:You should have asked this a year before. on Getting Hired As an Entry-Level Programmer? · · Score: 1

    ::SLAP, SLAP:: Wake up man!!! While it is true that there are some really great coders out there, in my job, I normally get to see the seedy underbelly of that world, Doing application security. I suppose you can never squash all the bugs, but for the sake of my sanity, please try harder!!

  16. Netbooks for pentesting and such on "Netbooks" Move Up In Notebook Rankings · · Score: 1

    I have been looking at both the new HP netbook, as well as the Acer One. I just can't get myself to buy one. I have been thinking about it because I currently carry my Dell D630 (Desktop replacement...kinda) and 3 Compaq EVOs when doing Pen testing. It would be nice to carry about 3 or 4 of the netbooks, but I need processing power, as well as lots of memory, so any opinions on how they perform in such a situation?

  17. Re:How about some technical analysis on NYT Ponders the Future of Solaris In a Linux/Windows World · · Score: 1, Informative

    You obviously have not kept up with all the Kernel vulns...Do lots of reading before inserting foot in mouth.

  18. Re:Virtualization makes Solaris less relevant on NYT Ponders the Future of Solaris In a Linux/Windows World · · Score: 3, Interesting

    How is cost an issue, when you can get Solaris for the same price as Linux? FREE! Both offer paid support, both cost approx. the same.

  19. Re:A better 3d browser on 3D Web Browser Draws Lukewarm Review · · Score: 1

    CISSP. That is one of the most standardized tests in IT, granted, it is about Security, and not just IT, but you MUST have 5 years of experience in Security to even attempt the test.

  23. Re:Easy to find out... on HTTPS Cookie Hijacking Not Just For Gmail · · Score: 0

    I think most people here and anywhere else would be quite impressed with the Bank of America security operations if they could see what goes on behind the scenes. I am a security person, and I trust them with my money...to an extent, I still think they have some custom calculators built just for their figuring of interest!
