  1. we need a T1 on NSFnet — 20 Years of Internet Obscurity and Insight · · Score: 0

    al gore...it all makes sense now...

  2. a cio change on 9 Reasons Why Developers Think the CIO Is Clueless · · Score: 0

    it seemed like everyone reported to our last CIO. no one liked her, the ideas from her pie hole were awful, and she was firing the people she didnt like left and right. final solution, after losing our linux lead, two tech managers, and watching her fire half the helpdesk, we fired her 1 week before christmas. of course we got a new guy who actually told us in a meeting he was a huge fan of outsourcing IT to leverage its true strengths. the CIO is a great position, every company should have one at their shareholder meetings...but then promptly return it to the supply closet.

  3. great innovation. on Adobe Makes Flash Crawlable · · Score: 0

    considering 90% of the flash ive encountered is advertising or malicious, i struggle to see how this will become anything more than an "indexable checkmate." to microsoft.

  4. its just one more reason to go on Mars Soil Appears To Be Able To Sustain Life · · Score: 0

    a lifetime supply of asparagus and 40 acres of baron craggy wasteland upon which to grow....more asparagus. just make sure to plant around the -70 frost.

  5. visibility versus reality on When Is a Self-Signed SSL Certificate Acceptable? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    i tend to find it comes down to a matter of customer base. for example, my internal mailservers, wiki's, and webservers all use self-signed certificates, as by and large we just want an encrypted channel to pass credentials and email. public webservers, oracle transaction servers, and credit card processing pages however always have the shiniest and best VeriSign (C) certificates. it makes people feel good if their browser gives tacit approval of the safety of the online transaction at hand, and the identity of the institution involved. I've also been told by the legal department it is an unwavering mandate that we have certs from someone like VeriSign.

  6. and its on Real Snail Mail · · Score: 0

    still faster than an MS Exchange cluster.

  7. lets put this into perspective on First US Offshore Wind Power Park In Delaware · · Score: 1, Interesting

    each blade is over 3 times larger than an 84 passenger schoolbus, and will be subjected to hurricanes. not to mention its *barely* visible from the local beach...so long as its packed to capacity and people are squinting past their sunscreen. sounds like a great plan!

  8. hang on, i know this... on Bill Gates Reveals Secret of Microsoft's Success · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    was it developers or chairs i dont remember.

  9. Intellectual property rights enforcer? on China Says There's No Antitrust Probe On Microsoft · · Score: 1

    did someone from the BSA get lost on the way to the boardroom?

  10. but of course on All Your Coffee Are Belong To Us · · Score: 5, Funny

    just another entry in a long list of devices that, while harmless otherwise, now have the ability to injure you once integrated with Microsoft Windows.

  11. Re:This is simply an advertisment on Storm and the Future of Social Engineering · · Score: 1

    wait...storm uses cunning social engineering? or its administrators use cunning social engineering... yeah, feels like a warm puff of FUD from IronPort.
