Nigerian Police Crack Down on Scammers, Shuts Down Hundreds of Websites

Posted 10/23/2009 at 12:09:42pm

This is great, but scamming is serious business over there.  I saw a video of a raid on an internet cafe to shut down some scammers, and like the whole freaking city turned out to throw rocks and crap at the police as they hustled the prisoners into the vans and drove off in haste.

Is Linux Its Own Worst Enemy?

Posted 10/16/2009 at 01:12:14pm

The 'Linux shortcomings' meme has been around for over a decade and it always points to the same 'shortcomings.'  You'd think that would hint at something.

 

Yeah, it hints that there are problems that need to be fixed if Linux desktop is to be viewed as an alternative to Windows or OS X.  It's obviously not though, so why do people keep pushing it as if it is?  I've spent enough time with desktop distributions to know that they are not worth my time or consideration, or anyone's for that matter, unless you get off on compiling drivers from source.  Even the commercial ventures know this, that's why they only push the servers.  I love my Linux server box, but I'll never touch a desktop distro again.

Microsoft's Free Security Software Launches Today

It's available now.  Looks good, has all the options I want, but I think I'm going to pass on it for now because I already have anti-virus software with a paid license until 2011.

EVGA Killer Xeno Pro

I've got a $40 NIC from Intel that works fine.  Onboard QOS is stupid as hell, you need to control the bandwidth at the router.  Optimizing your shit on your own PC does dick all if someone else in the house is downloading gigs of pron.  It will ruin your ping.  Hence, QOS controls in a router.  You can restrict by port, IP, or MAC.  Buy a fancy D-Link or get something that can run Tomato firmware.  Killer fails again.

Mechanical failure is a concern with any kind of cooling solution except passive.  I think this is cool, I wish Dell would just sell the cases, that's all I want.  I'm not paying their ridiculous prices for a whole machine.
