Comment We are all being track, tagged, cataloged.... (Score 1) 108

You have to be living under a rock to think that governments and organizations are not already tracking everything you do. If it can be logged or traced all it takes is someone to connect the dots. In a totally connected world the there is really no privacy. Just take the IT guys at work, we can go in at any time and tell you exactly what you did all day at work. It is not really that hard. Credit card swipes at the store. Cameras on the streets. I am saying that you should have a choice if you want the chip. I for one say just take the next step and give me the RFID and link it to my info and access. Might as well make my life easier while they are logging me anyway.

Comment Why is it the video games are the bad activity? (Score 1) 123

The article would be better discussed if it went into detail. But for the most part it has been shown time and again that there is a vast list of skills being developed when kids play video games. I actually encourage my kids to play video games, but not in excess. There are always pros and cons in everything. I could say the same things about hiking, boating, biking, swimming, and running (just to name a few). But hey lets forget that you can break your leg hiking, you can drown boating or swimming, you can crash while biking, and you can screw up all sorts of things just running. But hey you have to weigh the pros and cons when it comes to your kids and in the end if the parents agreed to this camp then I support them.

We still have to buy them as we have to do some of our backups to floppy for some of our gateway products/appliances and with each backup needing 3 or 4 of them, well you get the picture. What we need is a floppy to usb drive converter, that way I can throw them all away. Also Dell still has drivers that need to load from floppies on older servers. One of these days we can all live a floppy-loss kind of life. But not in the immediate future.

Submission + - XFX Loses 5970 Black Edition Limited card

bigdogpete writes: In an email sent to customers XFX stated "In light of recent events, we have come to suspect that one of our 5970 Black Edition Limited cards may have been compromised. In our current inventory check of this limited run of 1,000 individually serialized pieces, #68 has been unaccounted for. Due to evidence of a security breach in our facility, we believe it to have been illegally obtained as the product has yet been released per the embargo date. Please be aware that the person responsible will be subject to persecution by law. If any news can be provided to lead us to the apprehension of the suspect, or you can provide us with any information, please report it to security@xfxforce.com. Please do not attempt to buy, trade, or barter for this unit. We thank you for your cooperation and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."

Beware of #68.
