  On tv.com

  I have noticed that when I comment on a blog from tv.com there are no paragraph breaks.

  so where i would make a paragraph I add dots so things don't all run together like one big block.

  So my tv.com replies will look like this.......instead of having a break and new paragraph......there will be.......dots instead......it is one way to keep things separated.

  Don't like English

  You do have several where you can post in another language and be within the Gamespot family.

  The Worldwide links are at the bottom of the pages near the Terms of Use.

  There are many users who don't seem to notice the ToU either

  Must be the case with it being ignored so often.

  SO i thought to link all the other language areas Because I know there are a lot of people more comfortable in other than Engilsh -

  There are Gamespot Australia and Gamespot UK are essentially the same sites as the main Gamespot that is Headquartered in San Francisco California. They have head offices and boards that are dedicated to their own countries but essentially there is not that much difference when we speak basically the same language.

  I am in the USA and have noticed that sometimes when I log on the top of my page will say Gamespot UK with the Union Jack or Gamespot Australia with the Commonwealth Blue Ensign.

  If you want an altnernative to being forced to use English here are places where you would get moderated for using English

  you can go to any of the following Gamespot Worldwide sites:

  Gamespot Australia

  Gamespot UK

  Gamespot Mexico

  Gamespot Japan

  Gamespot China

  Gamespot Korea

  Gamespot Belgium

  Gamespot Netherlands

  just for fun visit one or all of them and see what what is going on around the gaming world via Gamespot.

  I removed the link on my blog to Gamespot Korea because it is a reported attack site.

  That is a shame because I used to enjoy that one quite a bit. Korea is a gamers heaven.

  I hope Gamespot does something fast to fix the problem

  PC and Mac security

  Are Macs really safer from viruses than PCs? I think there is just the appearance of safety.

  It is like an unlocked door in the city compared to an unlocked door in the country.

  both are insecure but one is less risky.

  consider this about the Mac:

  The code base is smaller and more easily audited.

  the code base is from the old minicomputer UNIX not the microcomputer world of MSDOS and has more experience with multiuser and mulitprocessor and protected virtual memory....which makes it a shame that Apple has practically ignored security issues since it should not be a big issue to develop and install decent security in such an expensive toy.

  but Apple does have great tech support.

  Because of the smaller market share there are fewer users and fewer software vendors and it is just not as interesting for the hackers.

  Attackers want notoriety and when 90% of computers are PCs they get all the attention.

  When someone does finally target the Macs I predict they will have a field day.
