  1. hmm on Proxy Sites Offer Secret Passage to Myspace · · Score: 1

    First off. Any smart Administrator will have the comp setup so nothing can be installed. Then have a program like deepfreeze where once the comp is rebooted then the comp will be starting fron new and the software wont be installed anymore. We have a security system program that stops programs from being installed and access to a lot of the windows sections, then we have then set as regular users, then with group policy , then deepfreeze. Then we have a filter, the security program also blocks websites, and window titles. I can also use another program o na server o nthe network if I had to to. A real admin would have no prblems blocking these. Also our security progra monitors every site visited i nreal time. I Could just send them a message and log them off the computer. SO any real admin would be able to block this stuff if they needed too.

  2. Realise something on Microsoft Invites Black Hats into Vista · · Score: 1

    I am sure microsoft is not stupid. I am sure you need to give them your name address, phone, social, first born and everything else before they give the black hat the pre release copy. Also are they having them try at this conference and not at home? Maybe with a mobile lab with vista on it setup ?

  3. Re:I don't get it either on Easy Fix for Scratched CDs · · Score: 1

    Some cds have the data laid out wierd. I have a giants citizen kabuto game that is trashed because a tiny small barely noticable scratch that isnt even deep got on the cds Also The Sims 2 cds if you get even the smallest scratch it trashes the cd.

  5. nah on Where the Highest Paying Tech Jobs Are · · Score: 1

    Just work for your local city,schools, or town governments. I am making $50,000 a year right out of college, As long as I keep taking the test my salary will continue to increase. It also helps that I have the best health insurance in NY state, have a pension, full dental and eye insurance. High paying jobs are out there but people dont look very well.

  6. Re:ways to fix this! on Photograph the Police, Get Arrested · · Score: 1

    You obviously dont work in civil service. I do . I am a network admin i na library. I work with 60 plus year old librarians. people over 50 do not like to learn new things. A younger person is essential to a library. Library technology is essential to the library. Especially computer technology. Saying every civil service worker should be over 50 shows you have never worked a civil service job before

    I have that much in a room like that but why do you need the chair? I think standing should be fine.

  8. Interesting on House Passes Ban on Social Site Access · · Score: 1

    I am in charge of the network here at the library. I can see myspace . Most libraries block myspace becaus eof the potential lawsuit. If a child gets abducted because of Myspac eyou know the parents will sue the library for letting her view it wich is stupid because the library uses your taxes so if you sue the library your taxes will go up and you will be paying your own lawsuit lol. But I do not see the need for a federal bill on this.

  11. HMM on Open Source In the National Interest · · Score: 1

    Wouldnt open source be easier to hack since anyone can look at the source code?

  12. hmm on On Software Patent Lawsuits Against OSS · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why are you guys going nuts. If people who write open source software openly steal stuff from comemrcial companies and pout it in open software the company that got stolen from has every right to sue.

    So your saying if a robber came into your house and stole something and sold it on the net you wouldnt get himn arested?

  13. Eu on EU Prepared to Fine Microsoft $2.5 Million Per Day · · Score: 0, Troll

    IT is stated in several articles that eu wants to repalce windows. The reason they are doing this is so that this new operating system will work with windows servers. They are not doing this so other programs can work on windows. get your facts straight. This is extortion. Why should microsoft have to create a competitor and put themselves out of business? Why dont you see this as wrong? Its like Nintendo being forced to make a console and giving it to sony to sell.

  14. Re:funyn on EU Prepared to Fine Microsoft $2.5 Million Per Day · · Score: 1

    also from microsofts web site "For server software developers who take a license under this program, Microsoft previously had created more than twelve thousand pages of technical documentation covering specifications for the communications protocols covered by the 2004 Decision as well additional technology going beyond those protocols. In addition, Microsoft previously offered voluntarily to provide up to five hundred hours of free technical support from experienced Microsoft professionals who can answer any questions licensees might have. With today's announcement Microsoft has supplemented these resources with a new license for all of the Windows Server source code that implements all of the communications protocols covered by the 2004 Decision." How is this not good enough. 500 hours of free support from microsoft . they will answer any questions about the source. Doesn't msdn and tech support go into alot of detail about the apis and stuff too? How is that not enough?

  15. funyn on EU Prepared to Fine Microsoft $2.5 Million Per Day · · Score: 1

    Why is everyone so against microsoft. Didnt they give them a media player free version of windows? Doesnt Win amp run as good as media player does on windows? No matter what you say if microsoft withdrew all support and products from europe their would be some nasty consiquences. It would take some time for all servers and desktops to be tranistioned to linux. ITs not as fast as a process as you think. then would come trying to deal with the u.s and other countries that still use microsoft. It would be very bad if microsoft took everything out of Europe. For you video game junkies that would include the Xbox 360 I am starting to feel the EU is just trying to extort money out of microsoft. Microsoft has been giving them what they want from what I have seen and they still are asking for money.

  17. hmm on The Pentagon's Supersonic, Shape-Shifting Assassin · · Score: 1

    Interesting. Want to know whats worse? The fact of the supposed retirement of the f-14 . But the problem is that all the f-14d's are being sent to the boneyard as is. Not stripped of their electronics. Planes sent there are stripped. Why send the f-14d's there whole and fully operational. I say there is something fishy going on.

  18. hmm on Man Arrested for Wireless Piggybacking · · Score: 1

    You guys are stupid. So if you leave your house unlocked the person who robs you blind should not be arrested right because you left your house open? You guys keep forgetting a couple of things. The store and the police told him to leave and not come back but he returned. On zonecd if you have it set to open when you conenct a page comes up telling u the rules of the ap. We do not know if this place had one. You cant make any conclusions without knowing that. I find it funny that most of you would not have a robber arrested if they robbed you blind and you left your house unlocked.

  19. Hmm on Man Arrested for Wireless Piggybacking · · Score: 1

    How do you guys know that there was no zonecd gateway. here at the library there is no security but when you conenct you aare first fowarded to a page that you must agree to and read. How do you know that wasnt at the coffee shop? If it was he was stealing the access if he didnt buy anything wich could be going against the agreement he agreed to.

    The funnyiest part of this post? The fact that most if not all those games will have versions for the wii. Why are you blaming the games on Nintendo? Its not their fault that third parties are lazy. all Nitnendos games for the gamecube were great.

    I know from real life experiences that some wierd things can go on in regards to comas.

    I was in a coma for 5 weeks and woke up like nothing was wrong.

    I also was in another one for a week. They had me on life support and everything. They didnt expect me to live.One day i woke up like nothing happened.That night I was complaining that I wanted to go home.

    The mind still holds a lot of secrets.

    I still have doctors who want to stick me in a hospital and run tests for months.
