Microsoft Apologist Apologizes for Microsoft
hillbilly1980 writes "Internet Week has published a counter article in response to the number of anti-monoculture security papers recently published. Unfortunately the author starts out by writing off the other papers as simply anti-Microsoft, unfortunate because his paper never gets past being more then just pro-Microsoft. One of his suggestions to secure your enterprise... turn off port 80." Probably the best thing to do to prevent disinformation from entering your company is to block articles by Rob Enderle. Update: 10/11 00:54 GMT by M : Note for the record that the original version of the article referred to blocking port 80; the article has now been edited to refer to port 135.
Slashdot is notorious for this.
Numerous times I have suggested that they upgrade to IIS 6, but they refuse- and continue running the notoriously slow II5.0.
They have only themselves to blame.
I"m getting the same thing here, I just thought it was me.
/. or a JCvD movie. Not a very big choice.
Its either

Unless this is a troll, I feel sorry for you. I've been in a similar situation (although not that bad) a few times and it wasn't exactly fun. Tell both of them to fuck off and get yourself a new chick.
This has nothing to do with anything remotely Slashdot related, but I need to do something before my head explodes...
There's a place for this.
Once upon a time this would have been perfect for alt.angst, but of course alt.angst went to hell and gone along with the rest of usenet somewhere around the intersection of 1996 and aol.com
The best replacement I've found is craigslist.org. It has a post board called "rants and raves" for which your post would be an excellent contribution and highly appreciated.
Since craigslist is sub-domained by (major) cities, and given that you think it's 3am, I'd suggest their London "office".
And best of luck and you have my sincere sympathies.
Putting on my amatuer psychologist hat (it's a threadbare hat), it seems she wants you to know in no uncertain terms that she couldn't handle, after ten years of friendship, hooking up with you. Maybe she hopes a rather cruel and swift demonstration of this will salvage the friendship by showing you precisely how and why it wouldn't work out. Or perhaps she's trying to tell you (and herself) that the hookup was so insignificant (in her mind) that she can do the same thing the next week right in front of you and with your roommate no less.
I figure (having been your friend for 10 years) she can't be oblivious to what this is doing to you, so doing it in front of you must be her way of communicating something. Perhaps you (after they've finished rutting) sinply ask her what the fuck that something is.
(Since this is off-topic, I'll post without my karma bonus, and I'll gracefully accept whatever karma hit whomever is modding tonight thinks deserved.)
Opinions on the Twiddler2 hand-held keyboard?
"Quick, install Windows XP on her machine. That'll teach her to fuck with you."
I got a better idea, install Linux on her machine. She'll get the hint when she's forced to type 'man mount'.
"Derp de derp."
While I understand the sentiment, uh, go whine somewhere else. Angst sucks.
And if you read enough articles, you'd know that what he said last week was plenty accurate and his assessment was more accurate than many that supposedly "know football." But keep carrying that liberal banner way up high if it makes you feel better about yourself. Just don't be surprised when others give you about the same credibility as we give Rob Enderle.
Even when those multiple articles prove with undisputable, acknowledged football statistics that what Rush said was right.
First off, I don't like Rush. Rush Limbaugh:Republicans::Enderle:Microsoft. So it comes as a great pain in my ass to say...
Right or wrong, Rush got fucked for no good reason. He criticized the PRESS for being RACIST, by making more out of a quarterback than he's worth. Whether he was right or wrong is irrelevant here. What *is* relevant is that he wasn't attacking the quarterback in question (who expectedly was upset that Rush didn't think he was the star the press makes him out to be) for being black, and he wasn't attacking black people at all. I don't recall Rush every being racist, but I could be wrong about that. What I do know is that he was offering a perfectly valid criticism of the sports press, which has gotten a lot of similar criticisms from other people in the past without the corresponding uprising.
Rush Limbaugh was just a victim of our not-free press. I think they only made a big deal about it because he's white, so I guess that makes me a racist, eh?
