I think David Boise deserves alot of credit for this... remember he only gets paid G15 goverment wages and he is tearing apart MS's best defense piece by piece.
I could be wrong but if the ports were all independent of each other then they would all have their own irq, which is just way too much. I am thinking they are all sharing resources.
The brain is just meat right? just like the rest of our bodies.. I think you guys are talking about the soul.. thats the human part. Can we clone that?
IMO its because RH executives have the balls to sell thier product to the movers and shakers of the industry. We all know that debian is the superior dist, but who is selling debian in the board room?
this is purely opionion. take your flames elseware
I keep hearing this over and over "I am astoundished that Micros~1 hasn't been hit with a multibillion dollar class action lawsuit for damages"
Why is MS liable because they sell a sadly secured system? It is the customers fault for betting their business on it without researching it first. This is not the fault of the designer.
The username and password changing every few minutes is most likely via a product called "secureID" which if used correctly is near uncrackable... but most people who use them write down thier l/p on paper right next to the secureID client and thus destroy any benifit.
The system is basically composed of a pager-type tool that the dial-up users carry which has a numeric display on it that changes at the same time it changes on the server side. Then when they dial up they need thier normal l/p + the secureID number. Its a nice system.
Or can any linux distribution modify their code to run on it? I know the article said Linus would have to approve but journalists are great for misinformation.
when I read that NTFS could journal and ext2 could not, it made me feel really crummy... This is excellent news!!! I just hope XFS can match NTFS blow for blow... anyone know of a good comparison?
Microsoft is always coming forward with some new study that shows how it is so much more expensive to do anything they don't want to do... ie: its more expensive to run a 'free' operating system then it is to run NT servers and workstations. This blows me away that people are buying into this crap but it is just another marketing scheme.
What we really need to do is come up with some published numbers about how much more it would cost a company to 'not' run NT and compare some companies that have run 100% MS products, vs any company running 100% *nix, then create some formula to determine the lost productivity+downtime=etc...
This will help to put an end to at least one of their stories about how it cost more money to do whatever they do not want to do.
I love to hear about people like you cousin! I hate it when someone goes into something like being a doctor only for money. Just think about all the doctors out there who would rather cut your arms off to save your life rather than fix the problem because your insurance sucks and you can't pay their fees.
It's always nice to meet someone who does their work because they love their work.

Exactly...and also the press always says something like "its a great OS that was built by hackers and crackers alike" "freedom fighters and the OS2 crowd is what composes the Linux community" Just mentioning OS2 guys is enough to make any would-be linux user change their mind about trying it out. And the mention of hackers to a computer savvy person is a good thing, but to most IT Managers and MCSE's the thought of hackers is scary instead of good.
Lets imagine that your an IT manager who wants to build a new linux server. You head out to a VP and try to get the funding approved and the VP inevitably has already read a story about linux somewhere and then you say "I want to test out this OS" and the VP says "the one built by hackers and freedom fighters?"... *Sigh* its sad but the media seem to be playing both sides (imagine that). *Sigh*
Just to avoid any potential flames, I just want to say that I think OS2 rocks, and its unfortunate about the reputation is has built with the non-technical (microsofties).
You people just don't get it, do you?

Why Kids Kill

I would like to add that people kill a lot more *often* because of guns, but if they did not have guns they would use knives, and the really crazy ones would use their hands... I think eliminating guns would stop the headlines like "27 people slain in Bank Robbery" but it would not stop murder altogether.
just place a copy of service pack 3 (SP4 is still too new) on each workstation desktop. Then train your users on how to click on it to install each day before they reboot (this is easy, after all the MCSE's seem to be able to do it)
I hate to start a flame war here but your wrong. HTML=Hyper text markup *language* all programming languages require certain levels of expertise in order to program in them and HTML just happens to require a lower level than what your used too. But lets get real here, a web page must be programmed in order to work.
I can't think of a single good thing that could come out of implying that Microsoft's source code sucks. If any one thing was going to make them forget this whole open source idea that was it.

The new MS Natural USB keyboard makes all my OS/2 Warp 4 machines have trap errors.
"Designed for MS " Its proprietary shit so I personally won't buy one. (We use them for ergonomically challenged people where I work)
Amazingly enough, this never happened with the old MS Natural keyboards... this is a new "feature".

NT *server* on the desktop!?
are you sure that you don't mean NT workstation?
Illiad from userfriendly wrote an article that I think describes what MS is doing very well. Read it here
