But his own spirit wasn't driven by that, and wasn't dependent upon that. He just wished he had the cash to go to medical school.

]]> Comment on OpenGoo is no competition for Google Docs by Sebastian http://www.phphosts.org/2009/08/opengoo-is-no-competition-for-google-docs/comment-page-1/#comment-36 Sebastian Tue, 27 Oct 2009 04:48:17 +0000 http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-10310817-16.html#comment-36 Opengoo is an excellent tool, and I highly recommend it after testing a lot of similar solutions. I am using it now and I am very happy with it. I think it is unfair to give a bad rating to this tool based on the inexperience of the author of this blog. The comments of the author sound like he is inexperienced with web applications (at least at the admin level). The beauty of opengoo is that you can download and install it in your own secure lan, or if you prefer you can host it on the internet to make it accessible worldwide. It is up to you what you do with the software. That is the beauty of open source, having the choice to do whatever you want to do with it, given that you know what you are doing :) By the way, opengoo is very easy to install, if you can install something like joomla, you can install opengoo: Just setup the database, point your browser to the installation directory and follow the instructions!... yeah, so that thing that nobody does these days... read the instructions, or just RTFM Opengoo is an excellent tool, and I highly recommend it after testing a lot of similar solutions.

Especially using it as a weapon to silence opposition or one's own opinion. One has to wonder what took Twitter so long to [attempt to] do something about the spam robots? I don't think it will stop the spam drones. Spammers always manage to get around filtering obstacles. It's like trying to get rid of a roach nest.

]]> Comment on Google Ordered To Shut Down Gmail Account Of User Who Received Unsolicited Banking Info by cb on bonanzle http://www.phphosts.org/2009/09/google-ordered-to-shut-down-gmail-account-of-user-who-received-unsolicited-banking-info/comment-page-1/#comment-28 cb on bonanzle Tue, 29 Sep 2009 09:26:13 +0000 http://techdirt.com/articles/20090924/1705386309.shtml#comment-28 This just blows my mind. I'm sorry, but Rocky Mountain Bank was in the wrong here. Totally in the wrong. They should have reprimanded their employee instead. I would have to question as to WHY did the employee have to email ANYONE a list of sensitive information? Do people NOT know or realize that emailing from one address to another is NOT safe or confidential as we are lead to believe. Emails can be intercepted along the route by hackers and those who use script programs to spy on mail servers and such. I sincerely hope that Rocky Mountain Bank customers have heard about this story and hope that they close their accounts at Rocky Mountain Bank PRONTO and find another bank to do business at. Rocky Mountain Bank needs to take responsibility of their own f**k up instead of blaming someone else or trying to pretend that a criminal phantom exists when it doesn't. Just who the hell does Rocky Mountain Bank think they are to take away someone's right to have an email account? Corporations like them seriously disgust me. I hope that whoever the person is that had their email account taken away, I hope that person sues the living sh** out of Rocky Mountain Bank AND Google. This just blows my mind.

]]> Comment on LogMeIn can control some PCs, even when off by Anthony http://www.phphosts.org/2009/09/logmein-can-control-some-pcs-even-when-off/comment-page-1/#comment-25 Anthony Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:00:21 +0000 http://news.cnet.com/8301-19882_3-10356977-250.html#comment-25 LogMeIn is a nice service and their Free version is unmatched when it comes to non-commercial use services out there. However, I just couldn't afford the Rescue, even though it's probably the most feature-loaded solution on the market. Are these guys thinking of reducing the price? I currently use Techinline (http://www.techinline.com) which is literally a fraction of the price, and I am sure that thousands of small businesses such as mine are in the same situation. When is something oriented at the SMB community on the way? LogMeIn is a nice service and their Free version is unmatched when it comes to non-commercial use services out there.
