1. Comment - US Senate Bill Holds IT Managers Responsible for Privacy Breaches

   (Feb 10, 2007 - 6:28 AM)

   I'll go with what you said inregards to there not being any exIT folks in congress... Perhaps it's time for us to start our own political party... I propose our first bill be something to the effect of preventing hot air filled lawyers from passing unreasonable laws without knowing what there actually talking about.

   Funny you should mention about how quickly some companies alert the public.... I was flying home from NY two days ago and sat next to a guy that is a "Damage assessment consultant". All I could get out of him was that he deals with stolen personal information and that he's on the worst case that he's heard of in a long time... it's been 4 months now and it just keeps getting worse. And no he wouldn't name the company... Good to know that my personal information is being kept safe. I can sleep well tonight.

3. Comment - Could Big Telecom Mergers Be Undone?

   In the end money talks and bulls*** walks. Nowadays I'm confident I could snort a line of crack in front of a cop with the proper amount of green. Same goes for mergers, it's a matter of paying off the right people with the proper number of dollar signs. Can't wait to see how much my phone bill goes up after the merger either!

4. Comment - Seagate: The Hard Drive, Reconsidered

   There aren't too many people out there that know how to build there own computer. If companies like Dell, emachine, HP so on and so forth decide to put these HD's into there machines, the general public isn't going to pay attention to what kind of HD is installed in there pc's as long as it boots up and runs the General public won't care. Most of us in this forum are computer savy enough to know the difference and prevent one of these HD's from being installed but thats a small drop in the bucket. I hate to say it but sometimes the government has to protect people from themselves and I agree in this case, it's not the customer that has to do something it's the G0d D$mn government which is a whole different problem in it's self since if they really cared Windows wouldn't have that WGA BS.

   I just thought of another issue with this DRM Crap. What happens if these HD's find there way into servers? Would a company really want to risk all of these "validations"? As a Network Admin I would view this as a breach in security as you truly wouldn't know what information was really being sent over the net to the validating company. In addition to this I can't think of too many companies that don't use other forms of OS's and DB's such as Redhat, Linux, Oracle etc... Wouldn't these HD's limit the use of these? I know many companies would love to get rid of Open Source and I wouldn't be too suprised if we found out that Microsoft had something to do with this.
