Get ready, here they come! Kinda makes that koolaid just a little bitter now, don't it? I believe in using the best tool for the job, but to say Linux is secure or better than any other complex OS is frankly bullshit. Hell I was talking to a 15 year Linux admin on one of the other sites that had gotten so sick of Linux fuckups they were going to BSD and if THAT didn't "just work" they were gonna wash their hands of FLOSS on the desktop and just go Mac.

BTW if you'd like a little more food for thought, what OS was 3 of the 4 CAs running that were compromised? take a look and see. Maybe they just had bad configs? Surely someone with knowledge would be safe right? Guess again and its not a fluke by any means.

As for an application? How about the fucking OS? If that shits itself and dies, like what happened here (read the final straw by a 15 year plus Linux admin who just dumped your OS) I'd call THAT a problem, wouldn't you?

But it doesn't matter what I say, it doesn't matter if I wallpaper this page with links backing everything i say up 100%, because you are a FOSSie. A FOSSie refuses to believe reality and instead screams "Nigger faggot jew!" or "FUD shill astroturfer!" to all that do not bow before the bullshit effigy made in the likeness of RMS. I'm sure now instead of answering all this evidence and citations you'll just call me some names, like a frightened child who just got told Santa wasn't real. Sorry friend but i happen to live in the real world and out here? Linux works about as reliably as Windows 95.

"Linux IS secure" - by Jerry (6400) on Wednesday November 30, @05:51PM (#38220432)

Jerry, this all puts your bullshit to rest easily with CURRENT information:

---

KERNEL.ORG COMPROMISED:

---

Linux.com pwned in fresh round of cyber break-ins:

Linux's showing in CA's breached recently too? Ok:

http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=GlobalSign.com

http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=Comodo.com

http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=DigiCert.com

The majority (4/5) of what was breached RAN LINUX (StartCom, GlobalSign, DigiCert, & Comodo)... per these articles verifying that:

http://itproafrica.com/technology/security/cas-hacked/

Toss ANDROID (yes, a Linux since it uses a Linux kernel) in also, since it's being "shredded" on the mobile phone security-front rampantly for years now?

You get the picture...

* TOP THAT OFF WITH DUQU BEING SERVED FROM LINUX, PER THIS ARTICLE? You're FULL OF IT!

Period...

"An in-depth analysis of the known C&C servers used in the Duqu attacks has found that some of the servers were compromised as far back as 2009, and that the attackers clearly targeted Linux machines" - Posted by Unknown Lamer on Wednesday November 30, @11:46AM
from the nsa-reads-slashdot dept. FROM THE MAIN ARTICLE ITSELF

Current proof that Linux's NOT "invulnerable secure" yet again, & yes, that Linux does get targetted by malwares...

(Despite all the "FUD" you see & have seen for YEARS now on this website from the "Pro-*NIX/Penguinista" around here!)

Linux gets "hit" by the worst kind too, in these "blended-threat tech" types, that use rootkits that employ drivers + bogus bootsectors shown in this article today...

Plus - the entire LAMP stack doesn't do well http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/06/10/domains_lamped/
  (especially Apache lately -> http://apache.slashdot.org/story/11/11/28/0335213/apache-flaw-allows-internal-network-access & earlier still here http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/09/03/apache_website_breach_postmortem/ ).

* Yes - Any OS' is securable, & far better than they come by default (yes, even SeLinux, but you have to go beyond its mere defaults to make it better, + MacOS X too (Apple produces guides for that in fact)), however/again:

The years of hearing how "secure" OpenSores/LAMP is around here was totally unrealistic & a blatant lie based on the information above, & yes, below next too!

Oh please, they are making money hand over fist, getting paid for the majority of Android handsets AND their own WinPhones, and the case will take YEARS which is years of check cashing. Meanwhile you still think half a sentence proves...you can't copypasta? It doesn't surprise me, living in CLI copypasta is probably all you do anymore and you fail at even that. Perhaps you'd like some links on Linux getting pwned and failing, yes? Just to brighten you day? Maybe you can use a Daemon to download the pages and read them in an email client, just like your beloved RMS does. How sad though that you HONESTLY believe your OS, which BTW you STILL can't fucking update without the damned thing breaking, has a shot. remember what your numbers are?

Get ready, here they come! Kinda makes that koolaid just a little bitter now, don't it? I believe in using the best tool for the job, but to say Linux is secure or better than any other complex OS is frankly bullshit. Hell I was talking to a 15 year Linux admin on one of the other sites that had gotten so sick of Linux desktop fuckups they were going to BSD and if THAT didn't "just work" they were gonna wash their hands of FLOSS on the desktop and just go Mac.

BTW if you'd like a little more food for thought, what OS was 3 of the 4 CAs running that were compromised? take a look and see. Maybe they just had bad configs? Surely someone with knowledge would be safe right? Guess again and its not a fluke by any means.

And of course on the retail side you have a decade old Windows beating the shit out of Linux on netbooks proving that your latest and greatest couldn't even compete with a decade old OS,ASUS has given up on your bullshit, remember them? The ones that actually STARTED the whole netbook thing with Linux? And you can't even keep them! Or how about Walmart running away from linux as fast as it can? You got the crazy koolaid drunk enough to say they ALL are paid shills because they won't do your forum dance or CLI horseshit? Meanwhile your "hero" Torvalds the great says Linux isn't planned it grows like a virus!, yeah that would be an STD and explain why you are still a decade behind on the driver front. Oh and when you respond with your usual bullshit and lame excuses could you please go here so we can see which lameness you are gonna use?

Oh and in case anyone is curious about the half of the sentence that makes him wet himself in fear the complete sentence is as far as the user is concerned there is NO command line in windows which of course is 100% true, because their OS simply doesn't need it. Here is another sentence for him to fear BTW Linux IS Windows 98, no more, no less because what was

Oh please, they are making money hand over fist, getting paid for the majority of Android handsets AND their own WinPhones, and the case will take YEARS which is years of check cashing. Meanwhile you still think half a sentence proves...you can't copypasta? It doesn't surprise me, living in CLI copypasta is probably all you do anymore and you fail at even that. Perhaps you'd like some links on Linux getting pwned and failing, yes? Just to brighten you day? Maybe you can use a Daemon to download the pages and read them in an email client, just like your beloved RMS does. How sad though that you HONESTLY believe your OS, which BTW you STILL can't fucking update without the damned thing breaking, has a shot. remember what your numbers are?

Get ready, here they come! Kinda makes that koolaid just a little bitter now, don't it? I believe in using the best tool for the job, but to say Linux is secure or better than any other complex OS is frankly bullshit. Hell I was talking to a 15 year Linux admin on one of the other sites that had gotten so sick of Linux desktop fuckups they were going to BSD and if THAT didn't "just work" they were gonna wash their hands of FLOSS on the desktop and just go Mac.

BTW if you'd like a little more food for thought, what OS was 3 of the 4 CAs running that were compromised? take a look and see. Maybe they just had bad configs? Surely someone with knowledge would be safe right? Guess again and its not a fluke by any means.

And of course on the retail side you have a decade old Windows beating the shit out of Linux on netbooks proving that your latest and greatest couldn't even compete with a decade old OS,ASUS has given up on your bullshit, remember them? The ones that actually STARTED the whole netbook thing with Linux? And you can't even keep them! Or how about Walmart running away from linux as fast as it can? You got the crazy koolaid drunk enough to say they ALL are paid shills because they won't do your forum dance or CLI horseshit? Meanwhile your "hero" Torvalds the great says Linux isn't planned it grows like a virus!, yeah that would be an STD and explain why you are still a decade behind on the driver front. Oh and when you respond with your usual bullshit and lame excuses could you please go here so we can see which lameness you are gonna use?

1.) Show us you've done more, earlier, & BETTER than I have in the computer sciences in commercial software code, books/magazines/newspapers or even freeware/shareware than I have since you see fit to try to "cut me down" on them, & they're only a SMALL PARTIAL LIST of what I could put up in FULL (& I quit doing that stuff years ago, no need now - I've already done it) - ok? Pretty simple this one, & you've already shown you CANNOT... pitiful.

2.) I post VERY RECENT real-world breaches with systems using Linux in my p.s. below... care to deny them? They're not just buglists unpatched, but real world RECENT DATA showing how "secure" Linux is showing itself to be... despite all the /. FUD spread around here for years on that note (security of Linux = good, Windows = bad etc.)

3.) My guess is since you use your "b.s. name", tragedy, that you've been BANNED quite a lot - I've been banned a couple times, but only after being attacked & confronting my naysayers with #1 above... I've yet to meet someone who can live up to #1 above in fact (& it gets them SO STEAMED, all they have is a "ban" OR evasions of that as you are doing - Sure I can beat those & use a name like "tragedy" but why? I don't hide (as others, like yourself, obviously DO, under assumed guises)).

4.) I noted this in other posts - SQLServer prior to version 6 iirc, used to use DISKBOUND (hdd) devices, NOT ram based placements of devices into reserved by DB memory areas (pure memory)... this changed later as performance of using Ramdisks (in software OR even SSD types) helps TONS for performance. Did I think of it first? I don't know - but what I DO KNOW, is that the idea took hold & took off after the showing of using ramdisks or SSD's for that very thing did well enough to place @ MS Tech Ed 2000-2002 as a finalist in the hardest category there - SQLServer Performance enhancement! Have you done better?? No, obviously!

5.) I never threatened to sue Thor Schmuck - I only said I probably could (& CA was caught in LITERALLY CRIMINAL SCANDALS, & also sold off their utilities division that called 1 ware of mine a malware - funny, they didn't list PING, or spybot search & destroy (which the former can do a ping of death or can, & how Spybot S&D alters a hosts file)... both are criteria of their 21 point removal system in fact, a test I passed on ALL GROUNDS (they reduced the level of threat of my app to ZERO in fact).

* In the end? It is VERY EASY to "shoot you down", & with facts...

(So, YES - Your evading those things above, DOES MAKE ME LAUGH! Simply as it proves my point, that you are indeed, a "ne'er-do-well" is all & one that tries to 'cut me down' & yet hasn't done better himself no less!)
