But Adobe doesn't currently plan to prevent VBScript or other files from running.
To prevent Peachy from being able to run, "the change we would have to make is not to allow VBScript attachments. That is a problem for a lot of our customers," she said. "If they change their opinion, we will do what they want."
The reason Adobe isn't preventing vbscript to run it that thier customers WANT to run vb script. If they prevented VB scripts from running then thier customers would not be able to sue the product for what they want. Adobe says if customers want VB script blocked then they will block it. It's not like they are just saying "we don't care".
I feel that if linux had a good web browser (and though mozilla is getting there fast, it is still not there), and a decent icq clone i wud switch to linux as my primary desktop.
Try lICQ, It works great, especially when compiled with --with-kde if you are using KDE.
You don't have to compile the kernel. Only for very specific purposes do you ever have to compile the kernel for yourself. The average Linux-user will never, ever have to compile the kernel. This kernel compile FUD is just that, FUD.
When I tried to install Mandrake 8.0 on my main computer I got errors while it tried to init my USB devices. I consider the hardware that I have to be average, nothing really special going on. But I had to recompile the kernel to get USB working. Compiling the kernel is still a very real part of linux.
It is just plain stupid. For any linux distro u just need to do 1 reboot (if you recompile the kernel) and things start working after that.
you complain about having to reboot windows, but can manage to sit for a kernel compile? Windows 2000 can reboot fast, with a kernel compile you are talking at least several minuites, even with a fast CPU. Not to mention having to get the kernel compile right, run LILO or whatever to get it to boot. To the average user windows is much easier with the whole reboot thing. They don't have to worry abount compiling the kernel, just to find out that they didn't set something right and have to go through it all again.
Nothing but a pencil, huh? doesn't it get cold in the winter? Just immaginethe following situation: you walk in, caring your pencil, and say "So I've heard you had a port scanning problem, I'm here to help". and yes, i do know what you mean by only a pencil..
Fact #2: Dmitry designed his program and allowed it to be sold, while he was in Russia.
Fact #4: Dmitry came to the United States simply to DISCUSS the flaws in Adobes encryption Fact #5: Dmitry did not violate any laws while in the United States.
He ran a demo of the program which broke the copyright of Adobe while he was in the US at the trade show.
Even if he did break US laws, he did so outside of the boarders of the US where we have no jurisdiction
Nope, he ran a demo version of the software at show in the US. the software was available for sail on teh company's US web site. For sale for $99 in US currency. And Shipped by a company in the US. I think the he was deffinitly injurisdiction. Also, for those arguing that he wrote the software for his employer, therefore he shouldn't be responsible for it think of this. What if he was hired by a large company to kill someone?
even if you use your own name server it still has to talk to other Nave server out there to fill requests it doesn't know. My guess is that you haven't memoriex more then 10 IPs for internet sites.
Does this make me better than the average consumer? More "tech-inclined"? I don't think so. Probably 60% of you reading this do the same thing. I don't think we're any different than the average consumer.
That's funny, I doubt that even 60% of consumers even know what "ripping" a CD is.
And this ISN'T just advertising, it IS a product modification. Windows as a whole is the product, that includes everything on the desktop, advertisement or not. By changing what programs are on the desktop they have modified the product. =\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\ =\=\=\=\=\

But after they've sold their product to e.g. compaq or AOL. they should be able to do with it whatever they like
I agree, but then they shouldn't be able to call it Windows if they are selling a modified product, or they should have to tell customers that they modified it. =\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\= \=\=\

The way I see it is that if 2 functions are in the same dll then you only have to load 1 dll. I can kinda see (with a lot of immagination) how this could benifit the end user). Less dlls loaded means less memory used, and less dlls for the OS to keep track of. I can also see how IE could be integrated into windows in such a way as it couldn't be removed, BUT it was designed that way. They could have choosen to design it in such a way that it could have been removed. =\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\ =\=\=\=\=\
