Saying 'No' to an Executable Internet

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the something-to-read dept.

Dylan Knight Rogers writes "Applications are constantly being ported for usage on the Internet - either for a viable escape from expensive software, or because it's often helpful to have an app that you can access from anywhere. Operating systems that run from the Web will be a different story."

    I'm glad you're already aware of what I pointed out. You likely read one of my other posts in which I've pointed out such facts, and thus were already in the know.

    Good for you! I'm happy that you might have a clue as to how to write solid, secure software. Indeed, it is true that we can all use OpenBSD as a development model to emulate. Doing so will help us write secure, quality code. And if we run it on OpenBSD, all the better!

    Now if only Microsoft were to wake up to the benefits offered by a development process such as that used by OpenBSD. They are getting far better, we have to admit, but there's still a long way to go before they rival OpenBSD's level of security.

    So much for saying "No" to the Eecutable Internet. "They" must have gotten him.

    Thanks to KRUD we have a subscription based GNU/Linux distribution... and with KRUD I still have my OS if I stop the service I just don't get any more updates.

    I see we have a new candidate here for the worst acronym ever to emerge from the bowels of Linux and Open Source.

    I didn't know it was going to turn the registry into swiss cheese, whatever that is.

    "Swiss cheese" refers to a variety of cheese, such as the Emmantel cheese from Switzerland, known for the distinctive holes that appear throughout the cheese.
