Is Microsoft Office "real" or not? People pay a fee to use code. Whether that code produces a word processing application or the sword of 1,000 truths doesn't really make much difference at the end of the day, does it? You can argue that the word processor is more "useful" than the sword, but then you're basically arguing against anyone spending their money on things that are fun instead of useful.

Ana Catarian Bezerra successfully argued that she suffers from a chemical imbalance that triggers severe anxiety and hypersexuality, according to a viral news story."

AppleCare tells users "you're on your own"->

Submitted by Dominare
Dominare writes "TFA: "A confidential internal Apple document tells the company's front-line support people how to handle customers who call about malware infections: Don't confirm or deny that an infection exists, and whatever you do, don't try to remove it."

So basically, now that Macs have their own equivalent of XP Antivirus the best you can hope for is to be pointed at the store where you can buy something that may or may not fix your problem.... nice."

I've had them from Comcast in the past. They send you a letter that basically accuses you of whatever, and all you've got to do is reply and say, "Prove it." Since the only reason they're contacting you is because someone has contacted -them-, they don't have any proof - they're just going on what AOL Time Warner or whoever has told them because its easier than fighting it.
Encryption

full disk encryption, xen, windows, linux - ?

Anonymous Coward writes "I'm in an industry that, more or less, requires full disk encryption. We use pointsec on windows currently. For the past 8 years, I've been running linux on my work laptop, and this is the first time I'm running in a windows only environment. I am interested in changing that, because I want to use linux as my main platform, and only drop in to windows if at all necessary (and use crossover if at all possible). I'm also interested in xen. Has anyone used pointsec for linux, with xen? My thought is that as long as pointsec is in dom0, and I use virtual disks for the windows vm, I should be covered, but I'd also like a machine that is usable, as opposed to waiting for months, as the virtual memory, virtual machine, pointsec, xen all thrash around while starting an app, or something."

If you wait long enough, it will go away... after having done its damage. If it was bad, it will be back.

Working...
