    Is MS security REALLY THAT bad Compared to Open S?

    Very interesting thread here. I for one, prefer the Microsoft products, because of the seamless application functionality. It makes myself and others in my company more productive. Not to mention, most apps and games I want to run are for MS OS's. As far as the bugs go, they (M$) post fixes...

    Specific e-mail monitoring

    ...to fire someone without legal ramificatons, even if the employee's work is sub-par. Your director may simply be wanting to cover his own a** before fireing an employee who is not pulling his/her own weight, and needing documentaion to support his decision and keep the company out of court...

    Workplace Security

    I am not a lawyer, but I would guess in your example of a lawyer and client, and a customers data was compromised to a hacker or rogue employee etc. without proper securities in place, then a lawsuit would be filed and won. Provided of course, the client suffered in some way as a result of the...

    Extreme political correctness???

    Not only am I still shaking my head on this particular story, I now find myself shaking my head on this thread. The master/slave relationship between IDE devices is not referring to race, creed, color, or origin of humans. It is referring to the relationship between two inanimate objects. The...

    Setting up Security for a VPN

    This thread, and the tone by the one needing help, is starting to remind me of a thread Bcastner started in the ethics forum entitled "when do you stop giving advice?" thread717-634603 Isn't it 5:00PM yet?

    Extreme political correctness???

    I had read this story earlier in the day, and I am still shaking my head over it. This whole thing makes me wonder what would happen if these people would spend their time and energies trying to change something that affects the majority, and not just a few. All of this "political...

    Wireless Access Point Advice

    Might I add, when/if you go with the wired solution, then run a couple redundant lines through the conduit when you lay it. This will help aleviate some of the "what if the cable gets damaged" concerns. Isn't it 5:00PM yet?

    not a big problem, hopefully a simple question

    From my experiences with the latest NVIDIA drivers, first you need to uninstall the current NVIDIA set, reboot (which will put you in VGA mode) Then install the latest NVIDIA. The update instructions I read prior to sucsessfuly updating my machine said as much in them. First time around I got...

    Networking: Windows XP PCs can't see each other

    Good morning Jules, I am currently on my w2k machine and can't remember exactly how to get to it in XP, but go to XP's help and search for firewall. XP has a built in firewall and comes out of the box enabled. This will need to be disabled. Also make sure you have file and print sharing...

    Windows XP activation - really a must ?

    Murray, Do you know how long it is before that happens? I honestly can't remember if I activated my new computer's OS or not. I believe I did, because that is the way I always work, but I can't be for sure at the moment. I have however installed all of the updates since the purchase 1st of May...

    Windows XP Networking Problems

    I am currently on a W2k machine and can't remember the location, but if you go to windows help, and search for firewall, it will tell you how to disable XP's internal firewall. It comes out of the box set to block access. Good luck, and Happy Computing

    PC100 and PC133 RAM on a 100 MHZ FSB

    It is most likely due to the practice of HP and Compaq putting a lot of proprietary components in their systems. Those two computer makers' hardware doesn't play nice with other peoples a lot of the time. By the way, Compaq is owned by HP. Good luck, and Happy Computing

    Pentium II vs III - which is more reliable?

    deffinitely go with the p-3. If you have to pay more than 2 or 3 hundred for it though, you would be better off buying one of the new budget pc's. You can get a brand new pc these days for 500 or less, and they will well outperform most of the p3's you would find. Also, they will be able to...

    Unknown Background Activity
