Comment Re:Cyberterrorism is a silly concept (Score 0, Troll) 165

I am going to have to disagree with you completely. A couple years back a government system was compromised. This system contained a large sum of information on military service members. This information included addresses station assignments deployment information birth dates social security numbers. If you think this to be a simple "inconvenience" please post all of your similar information here for us to use as we see fit. Let's break this down a little so you understand why this causes terror. 1. A couple years ago groups were targetting family members of deployed soldiers to cause distraction and harm. A distraught soldier (term to include airmen sailors and marines for sake of not typing all repeatedly throughout this) is not at his peak in combat and is more likely to make "mistakes". 2. Most of the above mentioned information is all that is needed to falsify an identity and present yourself as one of these people Now, I have personally seen the effects of cyber attacks and it terrorizing people. The reaction of many service members durring this time was obviously not "discomfort" or "inconvenience". I would think theass reaction accross the armed forces to resemble a controlled terror. Controlled only through training and discipline.

I would have to agree.. I am one of those people. The only reason to use Vista is for the x64 support for large ram caps if you have to use windows for that. XP 64 wasnt all that great in my personal oppinion. But all together I went with the wasted ram for the use of XP on my windows systems. Stuck with the 4gig ram and used other OS for higher demand systems. I vowed after only 10 minutes on vista to never use it again.

Well on top of bandwidth you have to consider the cost of thervers and the personnel to manage them. hard drive failures. Backups. technicians. But to think that they would lose anything by letting people place videos (for Free) and let people watch them (For Free) is crazy. we all know a website with countless storage cost almost nothing. (not serious)
