Yet Another Critical Windows Flaw
Dynamoo writes "Microsoft released yesterday a whole bunch of critical security updates. Out of these, MS03-043 is a flaw in the Windows Messenger Service (not MSN Messenger) with the possibility of a remote attacker gaining complete control of a Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 based PC remotely. If this sounds like another possible vector for a worm to spread, you'd probably be right. Microsoft's recommendation is to 'disable the Messenger Service immediately and evaluate their need to deploy the patch'. Of course a firewall will offer some protection but shouldn't be relied on. At least administrators can disable the Messenger Service remotely. Of course this is another headache for admins still patching for last month's RPC flaw."
...for each and every Windows security flaw, I could make Bill Gates my bitch.
In other words, their Linux machines aren't up to the load?
"Sufferin' succotash."
This time, please do something really useful, not only doing such silly thing as DOS'ing windowsupdate
You can for instance, delete necessary files for Internet connection... in this case Microsoft will be in a *real* shit if nobody can connect the internet to download patches!
They'll maybe have to send MILLIONS of CD by mail!
Therefore, people will be *really* annoyed and may think it's time to switch to another more reliable OS.
You know what? You're evil. You probably don't consider yourself evil, just like the people that support Al-Qaeda consider themselves evil, but let there be no doubt about it. You're evil. Most who are evil really couldn't ever consider their actions evil. You are advocating a concerted attack on others. You are supporting the destruction of others property and disruption of their lives for your social agenda... for your personal opinion of how the world should be, without asking them what should be done. That is, by definition, selfish and evil.
You are advocating force and disruption as change, and it isn't even a good change. Most common users CAN'T USE LINUX. They simply cannot handle it all yet, they don't have years of computer experience necessary to run it.
Your analogies that destruction is a motive for positive social change are tantamount to putting a gun next to a person's head and telling them something like "How about my form of government? How about my style of computing?" That kind of FORCED activity is the kind of thing that China and other nations that squash people's human rights excel at. Cmon. Realize that you are advocating the destruction of property here on a global scale. The Chinese come into their homes disrupting their lives, dictating the terms of their behavior, and leashing their options. You're basically telling them what they need to do by hurting people. That makes you evil.
You are saying that forcing people to lose their work and data is a good thing for them. You are saying that rendering their computers useless is a good thing for them. You personally like the idea that others will suffer for your personal agenda. Well, I don't.
ANALOGY:
This is like saying that you don't like the current way that stoplights are working, so you sabotage them nationwide. All the people that might die? SO WHAT, HUNH?
You need serious help. Locking you up would be my opinion of "serious help." It's self-righteous a-holes like you that keep tearing down what we all need to build to be a civilization.
Yeah, you want the computer revolution, but you want it your way, and advocate force to do it...
