RE: Symantec is splitting upposted in IT Discussion
I'm sure that both this and the HP split are tactics to enable senior execs to make a bundle of money on stocks. I don't believe they'd do it for any other reason.

You can get a 3-seat 1-year consumer base AV for $10, which is 80% off:

For some reason getting the disk shipped is cheaper than the online code - go figure.

RE: Are we being nickled and dimed to death?posted in Water Closet
It's like buying a car versus leasing. Sure leasing is convenient and can make financial sense in some situations. But if you buy the car, then when times are tough you can keep driving it into the ground and keep it patched together with duct tape. If you're leasing and go through a rough patch, the spigot gets turned off as soon as the money flow stops.

Is your coworker a spy? No way to knowposted in IT Discussion

When the NSA can't hack in to your systems, they just get a man hired on the inside. Something to think about when you do background checks on your next employee.

@MattSpeller said in Trial Webroot and get a chance to win a 3D printer:

No love for your northern brothers?

It's probably cause of the funny rules that Canucks have for contests. They have to have a skill element, which is why you see math problems on sweepstakes there.

This is really good news. Unfortunately it appears that the senate is already working to dismantle this decision and take this power away from the FCC.
Fuck'em - it'll get vetoed.

RE: LastPassposted in IT Discussion
We use them here at Webroot - we have a white labelled version of their service embedded in the consumer version of WSA complete. My philosophy is that my master password is only used for LastPass, so it's much less likely to be hacked than any of the other passwords I use on other sites. Two factor authentication for logins from unknown computers is pretty much the best solution you can have for this situation.

RE: Reddit Formattingposted in Water Closet
How would you feel if every year car manufacturers re-arranged where the steering wheel was, the shifter, the pedals, and the rear view mirror, just to be "hip"? That's how I feel every time a site does a redesign.

RE: So this is a thing nowposted in News
Their incompetence on this issue is worse than malicious. If they were malicious then they'd at least have protected anyone else from exploiting their cert. And Komodia would have chosen a password that wasn't the name of the company.
