SMP does not require a special application to take advantage of, only the operating system needs to support it (Windows 2000, XP Professional and Linux all do this).
If you take out the phrase 'to take advantage of' and put in 'to function' you'd be correct. There are all sorts of things you have to do to use SMP *as well as possible* or you wind up with an eight lane highway with a single lane on ramp; sure, eventually everything will get on and off, and once on, will be fine, but you get some real bottlenecks unless you're careful.
Also good to have the originating IP and the destination IP thrown in, for various reasons, the finding of which I leave as an exercise for the reader.
Or, the reality re-write:
I set up a windows XP box for someone the other day. It was QUITE an upgrade from their old 133 mhz computer...they were excited that all their programs will run SUPER FAST and that their printers/scanners/etc will be OH SO nice...
Unfortunately I couldn't be bothered to check the Hardware Compatibility List, or check that the software was compatible, instead for some reason trusting blindly that it would all work. When it didn't, we decided to blame Microsoft.
Still need to make abso-ma-loutely sure that session keys'll never ever be recycled.
Also, make sure you don't store session keys, dates, stuff like that 'raw.' Either you or your server software should do fun things like hash them, so you can tell accidental or purposeful tampering.
Oh, I see. You're saying "we were using this great ISP, they were giving bandwidth away for free, really, but then, because they wern't charging enough, they went out of business. Now, that whoever is picking up the pieces, isn't being as stupid, we're feeling ripped off, slighted, and pissed. After all, just because the first company wasn't making money and went out of business, it's not like the second company, were they to do the same thing, would ALSO lose money and go out of business, right?'
So, basically, you're complaining that for fifty dollars a month, you're *only* getting download speeds of a T1, which still go for a hell of a lot more?
It's GPLed, so do what you like with the source, so long as you distribute the source and any changes you make yourself.
What you CAN'T distribute is art, models, music, or anything that actually makes 'quake 2 the GAME' as opposed to 'the quake 2 ENGINE.'
Two main problems with that: ugly links that you need to watch out for when people copy/paste/post them, and people bookmarking, again, need to watch out for what happens when a session key with no session is used, or worse, if a session key ever gets recycled.
An OS is never rated secure; a system is rated secure. That includes OS, hardware, programs running, and physical setup, amoung several other things.
Note that most standard UNIX systems are immediately disqualified from the first 'secure' rating of C2 because they tend not to have ACLs, amoung other requirements.
I won't make any comment as to your intellegence, but if you can't figure out 'right click on the recycle bin, and unselect 'display delete confirmation dialog' and hit 'ok' or, in other words, right click, left click, left click, left click, then you might just be having a problem of some sort, even if only a complete and utter bias against Microsoft that causes you to make unreasonable assertions.
I'm sorry, but if you can't be bothered to find the configuration setting that tells Windows not to ask for confirmation, you have no business making any sort of judgement on it's usability or worth.

70 percent of the surface of the eart is blue and wet.
If you take all of the material on the earth, to a depth of however many miles down the top layer of the earth is, you'll find that 90 percent of that material is water.
I think.
Why? Because the two aren't in the same market.
If some idiot created, say, nifty little coloured glass thingies, designed to be hung in windows and look pretty, and called them 'Windows Decorations' MS wouldn't have a leg to stand on.
But when you create a direct competetor to a product, and call it the same damn thing, but for a letter, you're quite obviously trying to draw an immediate connection, and that's not right. If Microsoft put out a UNIX distro called "Winux" or 'MS/Linux' people here would be up in arms.
There's a reason Linus Torvalds holds the official trademark of Linux; to prevent dilution.
What better publicity is there than getting into a lawsuit with Microsoft?
Offhand, I'd say 'not being painted as stealing somebody else's hard work.
This is going to go through most peoples minds as 'Microsoft works hard to build up a product, then some upstart tries to use that name to sell their own stuff. If their own stuff was any good, they wouldn't feel compelled to try to leech off of another product's name.'
BIND, sendmail, lpr, all had holes you could drive a truck through. But that was probably back before your time, back when 'SVR4' meant something.
Microsoft isn't doing anything that the commercial UNIXes didn't do ten years ago. 'debug' and 'nuff said.
I can't be bothered to look on the website, but it could be something along the lines of 'any old video card you plug into windows will boot to a 640x480x8 VGA desktop, but the drivers give you extra.'
So the drivers probably give you nice names in the device manager, stuff like that, as opposed to 'Generic USB Harddrive.'

'Christmas' itself is nothing other than the Roman re-branding of the Saturnalia festival.

Different design philosophy, and different intended end result. You pick the tool for the job, not the job for the tool.

Any server class x86 has hot-swap PCI.
2000 doesn't run the affected service, therefore it doesn't need the patch.

Servers have high uptime BECAUSE of proper maintenance, not DESPITE proper maintenance.
