Comment Press needs to examine its life (Score 2, Insightful) 284

His question is legit. Hey, everyone knew Bush's grades but no one cares about Obama's grades? (We only know learned that Gore got a "D" in natural science.) They dug into Jack Ryan's sealed divorce decree when he was running for Senate in Illinois but have no time to bother digging into our current president? The press is complete hypocrisy.

Comment Follow the money, people. (Score 2, Insightful) 872

Mann gets millions from NSF and Penn State doesn't want that to stop. What a shock they exonerated him! Once again, the scientific community shows that when it all comes down to feasting on taxpayer money, they don't let the truth get in the way. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704541004575010931344004278.html?mod=rss_opinion_main

Comment This guy was a arrogant jerk. (Score 2, Insightful) 418

He plays peek-a-boo with the passwords and then tries to play Lord God of the network, as if he answered to no one. This guys gives other sysadmins a bad name. He was a Class A jerk. Perhaps he got bad advice from someone, but odds are very high his arrogance brought him down. Nothing new - it happens in all venues (entertainment, sports, business, etc.). I also blame management for letting it get to this point. It should never have been to the point where only he knew the passwords. They should be reprimanded as well unless he unilaterally changed them without their knowledge. Then he definitely deserves to be punished. What a jerk.

Comment Attn infected PC users: Can't have it both ways. (Score 5, Insightful) 330

First, you beat up Microsoft because their patch trashed machines that were *already* infected. Then you beat them up because they backed off on applying the patches to avoid trashing the machines. Get thee to SuperAntiSpyware and Anti-Malwarebytes and get your machine cleaned up before you complain.

Comment Re:Not always paranoia (Score 1, Insightful) 607

Our 3-yr old son Andrew has Down syndrome. He has gone out of the house several times before we realized it. His godmother has a 7-yr nephew who was once found a mile from his house by the police. Would I use it for my son's older brothers and sisters? Nope. However, it's something I have thought about for Andrew. I imagine Alzheimer's caretakers would be interested as well.
