Windows Is 'Insecure By Design,' Says Washington Post
Circuit Breaker writes "A Washington Post article says Microsoft Windows is insecure by design. Quote: 'Between the Blaster worm and the Sobig virus, it's been a long two weeks for Windows users. But nobody with a Mac or a Linux PC has had to lose a moment of sleep over these outbreaks -- just like in earlier "malware" epidemics. This is not a coincidence.'"
I am so 1337!
second post!
By executive proclamation I mandate this post to be equivalent to first post. All prior posts within this article shall be deemed 'pre-formative exploratory samples.'
Until Linux supports all legacy windows software out of the box, it will not become popular. Thing how popular windows longhorn, even if much better, would be if they didn't support legacy applications - noone would want it. Thus, how can you expect Joe Blow to pick up Linux when it can't run the legacy software on the shelves?
...Titanic is unsinkable.
Again, more proof that the US patent system is fucked!
Good post...
BTW, My post is OT and directed not for the main article, but back at the parent of this post simply for conversation.
Funny how some people see two different things almost instantly. I saw the article 100% opposite.
Check out this link for a great reference of those famous black and white images..
Optical Illusions
morons WANdering about use of term interaction
for the most part, that appears to mean that you sheeples read the pitch, & hopefully pull out
yOUR wallets. that's your end of the 'interaction'.
other possible uses for the miracles of communication we've been given:
disempowering the unprecedented evile that is destroying the planet/population.
how does won login/become a member?
consult with/trust in yOUR creator. get more oxygen on yOUR brains. seek others of non-aggressive
intentions/behaviours.
couldn't be easier. what's blocking all this interaction/cooperation? why greed/fear based
misinformation canpains of course.
you NEVER hear of any corepirate deathmongers touting oxygen, even though it's the best thing for
you/us. perhaps there's no countabull profit in it. another possibility is the overwhelming fear
associated with knowing that a power that exceeds all known before, is in the wings/air.
we're in crisis mode. the lights are coming up. pay attention (to the weather for example). it's
affordable, & tends to help prevent being misled further.
Is it just me, or does anyone else wish we had a Fark.com-style "OBVIOUS" tag for these types of stories?
My friend, I've got a good chance of being moded -1, Flamebait. I'd be very surprised if you're still on +2 after I post this :o)
But Unix is insecure by design also.
Maybe not as bad as Windows, but still.
