    What good is a system if it cannot talk to other systems (programs services etc).

    A delivery mechanism is not difficult, gullability is all you need. Just look at all those email viri that want us to click on links. How many people do that?

  11. Re:Expensive Apple hardware? One which planet? on Cringely Predicts Apple to Ship OS X for Any PC · · Score: 1

    Small boxes and mobility. I have dumped box PCs for Laptops now. 2.5" drives and more. I am sick of a box that sounds louder than my air conditioning and a power consumption equilivent to my tumble dryer or fridge freezer when my laptop now is powerful to run the latest games and only consumes 40 watts of power.

    That would be after they save us from an alien invasion by uploading a virus to the mothership that destroys the Whitehouse and has the President shooting them down with an F-16.

    Their backup plan is to nuke Microsoft from orbit, its the only way to be sure.

    You mean like AutoRoute, Axapta (Dynamics), CRM, GreatPlains, SendIt (Windows Mobile Server and ISCA 2000 Server)? They where all aquisitions not licensing.

  17. Re:EU is such a silly idea... on Over 1 Million .eu Domains and Counting · · Score: 1

    TLDs have no meaning anymore , "brand protection" has diluted the purpose of having TLDs in the first place, everybody just squats their brand on every TLD they can find. ORG is no longer an ORGINSATION, COM is no longer a COMPANY, NET is no longer a NETWORK ENTITY, UK is no longer a UK only TLD etc etc... In short, this is just another money making SCAM.

  18. Re:Question: on Over 1 Million .eu Domains and Counting · · Score: 1

    It goes to some suit in the registrars. Just like every other business, the Fat Cats always win. This is just another money making SCAM on the part of registrars. Need more money, create a new TLD. Most companies have policies to register as many as they can to protect their BRAND. Lather Wrinse Repeat Its a SCAM.

    "It rocks"? So, it runs like a brick?

  20. Microsoft invent a spider on Microsoft 'URL Tracer' Hunts Typosquatters · · Score: 0

    but what makes it cool is it was made in a place with "Research" in its title! Headline news.

    Don't google have terms and conditions for serving adverts? I guess they would make money from them also so conflict of interest perhaps?

  23. Email their press contacts at Dlink on D-Link Firmware Abuses Open NTP Servers · · Score: 1

    Hello, I currently purchase D-Link products for my networking needs but recently I have seen this posted on the internet. http://people.freebsd.org/~phk/dlink/ I have the D-Link products mentioned in this and am now concerned that my products will become "defective" once they are blocked from this NTP server. If such "defects" occur because of bad design, where can I get a refund. I believe that under EU Consumer law that a product must be fit for the purpose it is purchased for. Please clarify the status of the "functionality" of my products and whether I should purchase a different brand that will not become defective when such services are blocked. Regards.

    One could always cause more havoc by changing the time randomly for them :) Wont this screw up TLS / SSL connections and other sessions based on time?
