Solid State Hard Drive?

It appears that a solid state hard drive is coming from Samsung!

This is quite impressive being that it could make mobile computers much more energy efficient (battery life), and much more reliable due to the absence of moving parts.

This is a GT mustang a guy from work is souping up.... This thing is bad! He's considering buying a dual supercharger that will boost power at the wheels to 900 HP.

Junk Science - PETA Gets to Your Kids

FOXNews.com - Views - Junk Science - PETA Gets to Your Kids

This is something that we all need to be aware of. PETA (the radical pro-animal anti-human group) has infiltrated itself into a number of school systems across the country and are teaching children that drinking milk or eating hamburgers is animal cruelty. This HAS to be stopped. While I agree that blatant animal torture is not necessary, I, along with most people that are honsest about it, realize that animals are tools and food, for the most part.

Instant Messaging: Does it have a Place in Business Networks?

Instant Messaging: Does it have a Place in Business Networks?: "But the biggest concern in today’s business environment is security. Different IM applications use different, proprietary protocols and standard firewall configurations may not block or detect them. The IM programs also often circumvent authentication systems. Some IM clients can use ports other than those associated with IM (see the table for a list of commonly used IM ports), even commonly open ports such as 80."

Security Risks of IM

Mike wanted me to get him some information on this stuff..... Putting it here for future use

Eight Risks of Externally Hosted Instant Messaging

Weakened security settings. During installation, instant messaging software may change browser security settings, placing the computer at risk.
Readability by intruders. Instant messaging sessions are conducted in plain, unencrypted text, and are an open book to a reasonably skilled intruder.
Intrusion on privacy. By design, instant messaging software runs continuously as a background task and broadcasts the computer's presence online even if the interface is closed. (A separate "exit" action is needed to stop it.) In addition, instant messaging software may store the content of an instant messaging session in a log-file that could be read by others.
Hijacking and impersonation. Instant messaging accounts are vulnerable to hijacking or spoofing, allowing an intruder to impersonate someone in conversations with others.
Malicious code. Instant messaging establishes an open communications channel to the computer that can be exploited by malicious code such as worms, viruses, and Trojan horses.
Unauthorized access. Instant messaging users can potentially access each others hard drives and files during a session, placing the computer at the disposal of would-be hackers.
Poor password security. Instant messaging software typically stores passwords in a manner that is highly vulnerable to hackers.
No virus protection. Instant messaging sessions are not virus protected and can freely spread virus-ridden files.
