    Odd that Microsoft is simultaneously trying to stop spam sent to Hotmail users, and to make sure that it can send unsolicited commercial email without penalties.

    Odd? Hardly. Microsoft feels it is above the standard of most Good Corporate Citizens because they have a monopoly. Remember when MS' updater said no info would be sent back to MS? Well just have a look at what XP is sending back to MS for an example of their power-crazed mindset.

  9. I knew it! on Los Alamos Security Infiltrated By Reporter · · Score: -1, Troll


    It is official; Netcraft now confirms: Los Alamos is dying.

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Los Alamos community when Wired confirmed that Los Alamos seurity was breached yet again, now this time by a reporter with a camera. It's obvious: Los Alamos is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Cold War Nuclear Security Test.

    You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Los Alamos's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Los Alamos faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Los Alamos because Los Alamos is dying. Things are looking very bad for Los Alamos. As many of us are already aware, Los Alamos continues to lose security guards. They have no money. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

    There can no longer be any doubt: Los Alamos is dying.

    Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

    In its heyday, Los Alamos has thousands of security people. How many are there today? Let's see, perhaps 50 at best and they are armed with empty holsters and a strand of string protects the facility. This falls in line with the number of Usenet posts regarding Los Alamos.

    Due to the financial troubles of the US government and the pending war with Iraq Los Alamos is virutally dead, its corpse to turned over to yet another charnel house.

    All major surveys show that Los Alamos has steadily declined in security. Los Alamos is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Los Alamos is to survive at all it will be among nuclear dilettante dabblers and security hangers-on. Los Alamos continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Los Alamos is dead.

    Fact: Los Alamos is dying

  11. Netcraft confirms it.. on Root-server switches from BIND to NSD · · Score: 0, Troll


    It is official; Netcraft now confirms: BIND is dying

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered BIND community when Slashdot confirmed that the internet rootservers are starting a small yet noticable shift away from BIND. Usage has already been dropped from one of the root servers with many more likely to follow. This news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. BIND is collapsing in complete disarray..

    You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict BIND's future. The hand writing is on the wall: BIND faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for BIND because BIND is dying. Things are looking very bad for BIND. As many of us are already aware, BIND continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

    BIND9 is the most endangered of them all, having gained only a small user base out of previous BIND 8 and BIND9 users. There can no longer be any doubt: BIND is dying.

    Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

    13 of 13 root servers ran BIND. Now one of them has changed, that's 7.69% of all top level name servers in one fell swoop. Netcraft has never shown such a migration between IIS and Apache . This is consistent with any troubled software losing its users.

    The BIND development team is ready to disband, its corpse will be turned over to yet another charnel house.

    All major surveys show that BIND has steadily declined in market share. BIND is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If BIND is to survive at all it will be among NS dilettante dabblers. BIND continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time.

    Netcraft confirms it: Itanium is dying.

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleagured Itanium community when Slashdot confirmed that Linus thinks Intel dropped the ball with Itanium. Itanium now powers 0.00% or all servers. Coming on the heels of a Netcraft survey which plainly states that Itanium has gained absolutely NO market share. This reenforces what we've known all along: Itanium is collapsing in complete disarray.

    You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Itanium's future. The writing is on the wall: Itanium faces a bleak future, in fact there won't be any future at all because Itanium is dying. Intel has dumped millions into Itanium, red ink flows like a river of blood.

    All major surveys show that Itanium has steadily held its ground at 0.00% use while millions of other processors are produced daily. If Itanium is to survive at all it will be among CPU dilettante dabblers and hangers-on. Nothing short of a miracle could save Itaniu, at this point in time.

    Another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered RIAA committee when Slashdot confirmed that support for the Berman Bill was at an all-time low. The Berman Bill is collapsing into complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Slashdot Popular Bill Poll.

    You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict the Berman Bill's future. The handwriting is on the wall: the Berman Bill faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all because the Berman Bill is dying. Things are looking very bad for the Berman Bill. As many of us are already aware, the Berman Bill continues to lose support.

    It is official; Netcraft now confirms: *BSD is dying One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered *BSD community when IDC confirmed that *BSD market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last [samag.com] in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test. You don't need to be a Kreskin [amazingkreskin.com] to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time FreeBSD developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: FreeBSD is dying. Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers. OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts. Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house. All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time.
