alpinista writes "Sorry, Redmond; according to Jay Beale, it's not yet time to throw away all those pesky insecure Linux boxes. Newsforge interviewed Jay and got some pretty straight talk from a guy that knows more that his share about OS security. In a nutshell: 'Beale's take on how you can make your system more secure, on the Linux vs. Windows security debate, and on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act's impact on security testing.'"

  1. I would begin with the end.. . . by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    One day, our computers and books were wiped away from us. Where would you begin

    I would write all I know on my wall. When I run out of room I would grind up and throw all the trees I can find into the lake near my home to make parchment paper.

    Then I would write my autobiography/encyclopedia to be endowed upon the those after me.
