If your sick, do you go to work?

DigitalBoyz @DigitalBoyz (53) • United States 17 May 07

Are you one of those people that will only call in sick if you have a fever and can't get out of bed? I look at work as a social interaction, not so much as actual work (*GASP* I said it.... I like my job - LOL). For me, I have to...

DigitalBoyz I agree. There are companies out there that give an extra bonus for perfect attendance, almost like in elementary school. I also seem to remember, that the people that showed up with the flu also had a trash can sitting next to them the entire day... how can...

Linux or Windows.. Take your pick

DigitalBoyz @DigitalBoyz (53) • United States 16 May 07

Do you prefer Linux or Windows? Are the circumstances different when you would prefer either o/s. For example, for everyday use, I prefer windows. However, if I build a firewall for my home network, my preference is a Linux O/S...

DigitalBoyz Strictly speaking from the cost factor, I'm really tempted to make all my systems linux.

Are Anti-Virus Companies Responsible for Viruses?

DigitalBoyz @DigitalBoyz (53) • United States 15 May 07

I always hear of people stating the Anti-Virus companies like Norton and McAfee are the ones who put the viruses out in the open just so they can stay in business. What do you think?

computers

internet

software

DigitalBoyz I definately think A/V companies put out the minor annoying viruses. The ones that don't really do any harm, just display pop-up windows that are meaningless. It's a good way to get and maintain business.

DigitalBoyz I've always been the type of person where if I find a flaw in an O/S I'll build an unpatched system at my house and exploit my own systems. That to me is actually more fun because then I don't have the fear of cops banging on my door in the middle of the...

New Cell Phones.

DigitalBoyz @DigitalBoyz (53) • United States 15 May 07

I'm in the market for a new cell phone and I'm currently creating a pros cons list of good cell phones vs. bad ones and I figure you guys could probably help me out. What are the phones you have used and what did you like or not...

DigitalBoyz I'm probably just going to go to a couple of different stores and pick the one that looks the coolest :) . In general they pretty much all have the main feature that I need, which is being able to talk on the phone with someone when I need to.

DigitalBoyz On my home systems, I haven't run any Virus protection in years. I keep all my systems patched, my IE settings set to the highest it can go. Then I use anti-spyware programs to take care of the spyware garbage. In general, if your system is completely patched,...

DigitalBoyz The true conspiracy theorists claim that they all support each other. For example, Microsoft puts out an operating system with holes in it, and then leaks the wholes to the A/V companies so they are aware of it. The A/V companies put out a virus and virus...

DigitalBoyz I agree. I've spent many nights running restores from tape and trying to figure out how they go into the network. Of all the one's I've come across, I would have to say that only 1/4 of the actual attacks were legitimate. The majority of the hacks were just...

DigitalBoyz That's probably why my parents never let me have a computer in my room. Left up to my own devices with enough time on my hands I may have ended up doing the same thing 8)

DigitalBoyz There's also the side that people seem to forget every now and then. The top programmers that are in these companies are people that have been previously busted for writing and launching their own viruses. Kind of makes one wonder...

DigitalBoyz I hope it works out too. The last I had heard Verizon was trying to make it so Vonage would not be able to get any new subscribers. Luckily Vonage was able to state their case that without new business the company would go under because they have such a high...

DigitalBoyz I have been testing Vista since the beta days. I agree that if you are into bells and whistles (like googles sticky notes, and nice GUI) vista definately will work for you. If you are a windows server administrator I think you will be seriously disappointed....
