    >explorer.exe does not run in kernel mode.

    But the video drivers do, and that's *much* better.

  3. Re:What's funny about it? a critique on Win2k Security holes found · · Score: 1

    The form of comedy on display here was irony, or if you like, hubris. The Germans have a word for it: schadefreude (sp).

    Have the nerps and perns had equal access to equivalent education? Perhaps nerpland has an enforced social structure leading to a poorly educated underclass (see Victorian Britain), or sink estates w/ a failing education system.

    This can therefore be considered a racial characteristic. or indicative of a social structure or poverty of a country imposed by external forces, or inappropriate testing...

    Yes, it's a bug. One that disables a rival's product. Excellent work, no, no, really, very good.
