HomeSec Warns Again About Microsoft's Insecurity

Posted by michael on from the repatch-and-sin-no-more dept.

cbrandtbuffalo writes "The Department of Homeland Security has posted this advisory about an impending attack on MS systems. This RPC attack has already been seen in some localized systems, but may spread as unpatched computers are exploited. Some of the national news like CNN are running stories too."

    A good troll needs to have some foundation in truth. It needs to at least sound as if you believe your arguement. Anyone that has used Linux recently will know that what you say is patently untrue and that all you are trying to do is inflame people. If you want to get a good flame war going you have to have a plausible and defendable arguement. If you had focused solely on the ability to copy DVDs and accepted that although it is possible it is so difficult that it makes the use of Linux ridiculous, then you would have got lots of people going who think you are wrong or simplifying the arguement too much. Because you make so many statements about things like MP3s etc. for which Linux has more options than Windows, you sound as if you do not know what you are talking about and no one is going to bite.

    Better luck next time.

    All your liberals slam the war in Iraq, but considering that our alert color is blue now after the war... when it was yellow or orange before the war... seems like proof to me that the war decreased the amount of terror in our world.

    Have you tried running Open Office and KDE on that kind of spec machine? I reckon the hardware requirements to give sensible performance with a modern Linux release and OO are about the same as for XP.

    You should upgrade to Linux, there you can see all this.
