I understand his lack of basic English skills is annoying, however why waste the mod point? Trolling to me is implying they are looking for an argument without reason. That guy just didnt like the other game and worded it badly.

On the pc version it was unplayable for me, until the first patch was released.

I hate people that mod posts down purely because, it contradicts their own views.

The game was buggy on the pc version at any rate. I am not surprised it is a huge game and would be impossible to completely test it. Under the conditions they had, they did a reasonable job.

On topic: It will be interesting to see which way they choose to take the game. I can only hope it does not take the text movie/game approach like Mass Effect (1),i want a game not a book with shooting pictures.

I have never been able to remember my passwords, so i use a program to do it for me now. I remember the key passwords for everyday accounts and all the others i need to use a USB pendrive with the program on.

However, i have always been worried about the type of encryption on the password list. So i tend to keep an eye out for a better program.

I fully agree with you here, i have tried for 3 years on and off to get into Linux. However, it does not have the user friendless of windows or mac. Linux users can mock mac/windows all you want, but until you dont need a degree to use the OS, it will never be 100% mainstream (Android may be the exception).

The last thing i tried on Linux was to format a hard drive, or look to see if one is connect but not showing up on Linux (i.e. device manager/task manager), however i think there are limitations of unix ?

I can see why it would make sense, however it seems more likely someone is out for a quick buck. It is a new platform and just needs time to get on its feet.

I am just thankful it was not a virus or something a person with a shred of common sense would fall for.

Banks Urge Businesses To Lock Down Online Banking 201

tsu doh nimh writes "Organized cyber-gangs in Eastern Europe are increasingly preying on small and mid-size companies in the US, setting off a multimillion-dollar online crime wave that has begun to worry the nation's largest financial institutions, The Washington Post's Security Fix blog reports: '"In the past six months, financial institutions, security companies, the media and law enforcement agencies are all reporting a significant increase in funds transfer fraud involving the exploitation of valid banking credentials belonging to small and medium sized businesses," reads a confidential alert issued by the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center, an industry group created to share data about critical threats to the financial sector.' The banking group is urging that commercial bank customers 'carry out all online banking activity from a standalone, hardened, and locked-down computer from which e-mail and Web browsing is not possible.' The story includes interviews with several victim businesses, and explains that in each case, the fraudsters — thought to reside in Eastern Europe — are using "'money mules,' unwitting or willing accomplices in the US hired via Internet job boards. The blog has more stories and details about these crimes."
