• Novell typically keeps lots of cash around to keep this sort of thing from happening. These rumors have been going on forever regarding Novell.
  
  Seems to me that Novell has the upper hand here due to their obvious foresight regarding the Linux/open source movement. In reply to: "Should Sun buy Novell?"

• This is exactly why I use encryption while moving files across the net. We already know the NSA is spoofing all the packets of average Americans in the name of "national security". These same idiots cannot keep countries out of our electrical grid network.
  
  What I do on the internet is none of their business.
  
  SSL or IPSEC - let's see an ISP spoof those packets :)
  
  Not!
  
  Sharing will continue to happen only all the traffic will be encrypted and big brother will get told to get lost. The various sites that share data will have to charge a subscription (overhead for updating to SSL) and the sharing sites will insist you use encryption will pulling or putting up files.
  
  Files? What files? We don't know nothing about no files? In reply to: "RIAA gives thumbs up to France's three-strike law"

• I'm up for a new PDA and a quality replacement for my Treo. We support the Blackberry at work so this looks like the ticket. One thing though that I'm sure everyone noticed....NO WIFI!!!! What the flipping is that? Must we be stuck on their proprietary high priced data link or be forced to go buy our own wifi card!?
  
  Geez...you would think they would learn. Maybe I will go and take a closer look at the new Google phone, which supposedly works on any providers network as I recall.....but most recently noticed that is not an option now...so I'm thinking cell manufacturers/providers are like the politicians of today - they promise you the world and you end up with nothing in paticular.

• Keep it up Eric - especially the wireless initiative - your work is greatly appreciated. Best thing you ever did was leave Novell! Look at you now! My CNE certification isn't worth a whole lot anymore but seeing your signature on it makes it stay on the wall. When can I buy my google phone?

• Anytime you hear the words, "robust and Microsoft" in the same sentence...run! :)
  
  Furthermore, VMWare Vitrual Center...is a good mature product. Why don't you tell the truth and uncover your biases $$ servermaker?
  
  Just remember this: What does Microsoft call a beta tester? Enduser! And anyone and everyone in IT knows that's a fact so you have fun bro. Maybe I might look at Microsoft's offering in a year if their lucky after you've worked out all the bugs with them. In reply to: "Hyper-V is not hype"

• the innocent could go to jail - not enough proof
  Let's suppose your neighbor doesn't know how to secure their wireless internet connection (most of my neighbors don't) and a pedifile piggy backs the connection to this government honey bucket? The government will see the mac address-ip address of the innocent person who has no idea what is happening on their unprotected airwaves and arrest the innocent? This same government just bailed out a corporation with your tax dollars - this same government decided to burn 80 innocent women in children in Waco because someone was hording guns?
  This same government that believes in the "greed is good" that has allowed corporations to outsource the middle class in America. This same government that is allowing our Southern border to be overran while selectively enforcing our laws.
  
  We are asleep at the wheel as this fat pig overzealous government...both democrats and republicans grows out of control. In reply to: "FBI posts fake hyperlinks to snare child porn suspects"

• what an idiot
  I pay the bill and want unfiltered access to what I'm paying for. Between them and the FBI setting up honey buckets on the web....this is getting ridiculous. In reply to: "Cable chief: Let us 'experiment' with our networks"

• Makes more sense?? !! What makes more sense is a National Party. I see no difference in either the dems/repubs. This country is screwed and we deserve what we're about to get.
  
  We've become nothing more than a services country.
  
  And it's going to be far deeper that a recession. Our standard of living is going down the tube and were headed for disaster. All the while the companies we put our heart and soul into care about nothing but the almighty YEN/Euro...notice I left out the dollar since it's almost worthless now.

• Verizon is listening to us packet heads
  Opening up their wireless network to non proprietary phones....leaving my fios connection alone....PRICELESS!
  
  Thanks Verizon! In reply to: "Verizon: We don't want to play copyright cop on our network"

• Uhhh....I have Verizon Fios...35megs up and down all day. I run out of disc space all the time. He is right. Close to a terrabyte of data right now, but I'm certainly what you would call a super user.
  
  I'm building out a home entertainment PC right now that will connect my home HD TV to the internet of for watching or listening to video, movies, etc ...even though I also have Direct TV.
  
  Their building fiber to the door all over Oregon and other cities now. In reply to: "Seagate CEO: Blu-ray won the battle but lost the war"
