You ofcourse forget one "little" difference - Macs and Linuxes usually have sane setups, that doesn't provide every new user created with a "root" account by default, like Windows does.. This is one big showstopper for these kinds of malwares.. Not only trick user to run it, but also to trick into doing it as superuser.
Personally I prefer Firefox, but Opera has one place neither IE or mozillas do - browsers for mobile phones. All Nokias capable of supporting a browser use Opera. (series 60+)
I know the Mozilla ppl have started a Minimo project to "address" this, but it still seem to be at an very early stage.
I supopse there is more overhead when php is used with IIS than with apache. Main reason besides perhaps sub-optimal code is: - You didn't use ZendOptimizer, it can have a serious impact. - Asp and Jsp are caching by default, php is not, but there is more than one cache available for it (which have a big impact as well).
If you have left the php code, try again with the optimizer and perhaps a cache again and tell the results.
That is a bit like saying I want a secure ATM-card, but I don't want to remember/use some stupid PIN code, imo..
People will never be satisfied, either it is techies fault it is too insecure, or alternatievly it would be the techies fault it is so hard to get working while being secure (all devices having the same "PIN" code).
If someone can work their VCR, they should be able to turn on WEP/WPA on their wifi equipment. I blame lack of interest to want a secure network.
Strange noone has mentioned yet one reason why someone would want a Dell (without Windows)..
If you are in a company that uses a certain supplier, chances are you get windows even if a part of the machines purchased will be running linux.. This is how it is where I work (only ~15ppl).
I certainly hope so, but at least with some linux ported games they have pushed my limits to a strech releasing them months after windows version.
I'm very happy if there is a linux port, but as long as people are used to dualbooting and a linux port of a game is released months after the windows version, it doesn't bode well for linux sells figures.
While I hate spyware, ideally I would like to see the linux and windows version being released on the same CD (=more shops will carry linux version) and during install it could check cd-key or something from a central server and report back if it is being installed on linux or windows.
While I don't agree with the grandparent post about going against the system, I do think something is wrong if and when it is the big corporations that are "making" new and changing existing laws. (lobbying/bribing etc.)
The battery life can also be remedied by a micro generator.. There is at least one manufacturer that makes them for model airplanes and similar.
About windgush etc., once you advance your project to the point when it can fly at 15 feet constant, then you might have a problem. Or if you have a jet engine and high speeds.
Another thing is, if the UAV happend to get into an uncontrolled descent (as a result of a windgush of something), even humans can have problems straigthening it again in such a situation.
Well, that makes more sense. I can tell my files go in "documents and settings", windows sits in "windows" (and only "windows"), and my software is in "program files". How you can even compare the two on complexity is beyond me.
I have to object on this... Quite a lot of applications dump their stuff also in the windows directory.
Also, what does "Offline Web Pages" do in the windows dir? Isn't they supposed to be in the users "private" stash? Or Media, it surely not a part of the system.. And there is more that doesn't belong there.
What about when you have many partitions - then you have to break the "windows hierarcy", all because of stupid driveletters.
I've seen kde and pretty much everything else you can name, and there are always MANY apps (even ones that come WITH the OS) that seem to ignore the skins completely. They break the consistency.
Yes, some do.. on the other hand, what you get with the OS is usually KDE, Gnome and.. Misc..
KDE apps and Gnome apps are consistent. That is - KDE apps with KDE, Gnome apps with Gnome.
Of course you get them with Windows, too, but not included, and you rarely come across any.
The difference being the almost nothing is included with Windows, whereas you even get the kitchensink with most linux distros.
The flagship distros out there that are competing with windows. They are MUCH larger, even when you don't select "everything" (which I've never, ever done anyway).
No, but even when you haven't installed "everything", you still have a whole lot more applications than with your basic Windows install.
Take Windows, Photoshop, Office and a few more apps and let us compare then.
IE from Windows, as IE has lots of functionality Firefox doesn't.
Would you mind naming a few? I can name a few features missing from IE - most notacible being lack of standards support in CSS, even in IE 6 (quite a few standard things all other major browsers support that IE doesn't).
IE is available to the rest of the OS via COM object, activeX and DLLs, whereas firefox isn't.
Yes, and APIs are closed, so noone can make a total replacement for IE (not possible to reimplement IEs whole APIs).
Asking why you can't remove that is like asking why you can't remove the engine from your car and still drive it around.
No, but you can replace the engine with another in cars.
I've never had any products on windows screw up the OS to the point of re-installation. Ever.
Try MS Office 2003, it hosed a Windows box I installed it on so badly that Windows had to be reinstalled (wouldn't even boot). Fortunatly I had just installed the box from scratch, so it was no biggie.
As most apps have files spanning multiple directories and dependencies across the whole system, it's easy for an errant install to remove (or overwrite) something another app depends on.
True and false. Most package-systems require you to specify --no-deps or --force or something similar or it will refuse to uninstall what you tried with a message saying that some other package depends on this.
The sprawling dependency means the system is unstable.
Uuh, in what way is it unstable? It might show up as some applications refusing to start, but it surely isn't unstable in a crashing sense.
I do have objectivity. I use linux boxes and windows boxes at work. I try to make linux do exactly what I want, and I can't. I go back to it time and time again, when I hear some ground-breaking improvements on slashdot.
I get the sense that you only occassionally use Linux and have never really learned it? I have used both for years, allthough last few years I've used windows less and less and contrary to you, I find some things very clumsy and difficult to do in wnidows which I could easily do in linux.
Yes, I admit I'm a bit linux biased, but I try to be objective as well, and for example all servers I recomend isn't linux-based.
Not even that, since they usually look for a "swinging effect" of stars (the kind comparable to a man rotating a heavy object around him causing himself to lean in the opposite direction) to find planets it is only natural that they would mostly find gas-giants like jupiter - after all, they tend to be the biggest, most massive bodies after the star.
Something the I feel contradict the notion that life sustaining planets are very very rare is that the moon named Europa perhaps even could (have?) sustain at least very primitive life. That would make it 2 in only one solarsystem.
Europa sustaining life is only speculation, but it does have water which seems to be a key.
About the CPU-usage.. in an airplane I think that you would like not to utilize the cpu to max.. a delay in some part might end up badly..:P
On local RC-plane forums there has been a bunch of posts with people telling the same story about how their Li-Po/Li-Ion batteries has caught fire. Seems to be something one need to be *really* carefull with, especially while charging..
Would you tell me some more specs - couldn't find on the site: - Operating time - Operating range - Max payload (well, you said there wasn't much left)
Oh, and, how much did the extra equipment weight, ie. that that didn't belong to the RC-Plane (not servos, RC-RX, engine etc.). If at all possible, in metric units, pls;)

Does it mean /. will start to receive subponeas now because of the direct link?-)
Sounds strangely familiar to current US administration..
Help us or you are a terrorist..
Why does everything have to be so black and white.
Darl McBride invented LSD, or so it seems.
Because default user defaults to root?
Sorry, the wing will be installed next thursday..
You ofcourse forget one "little" difference - Macs and Linuxes usually have sane setups, that doesn't provide every new user created with a "root" account by default, like Windows does.. This is one big showstopper for these kinds of malwares..
Not only trick user to run it, but also to trick into doing it as superuser.
Ofcourse you could also ask the question: Would they ("terrorists") shoot people if you weren't there in the first place?
Corporations with deep pockets?

Does this mean we finally can get rid of Mediaplayer?
(it sends home info on what DVDs etc. you watch - ie. spyware)
Strange noone has mentioned yet one reason why someone would want a Dell (without Windows)..
If you are in a company that uses a certain supplier, chances are you get windows even if a part of the machines purchased will be running linux.. This is how it is where I work (only ~15ppl).
So is this th same as them clearing up once and for all the whole "IE is free" mess?
To me this certainly means IE is not free. (as in beer)
OTOH, if Transgaming prospers, it might show game comapnies that there is an interest for games in the linux community. ?
I certainly hope so, but at least with some linux ported games they have pushed my limits to a strech releasing them months after windows version.

I suppose you didn't keep your system very uptodate then, since in my experience you need to quite frequently reboot after visiting windowsupdate?
At least this part (updating) very seldomly needs a reboot in linux (kernel update).
Not even that, since they usually look for a "swinging effect" of stars (the kind comparable to a man rotating a heavy object around him causing himself to lean in the opposite direction) to find planets it is only natural that they would mostly find gas-giants like jupiter - after all, they tend to be the biggest, most massive bodies after the star.

Sounds like NetSky..
Yes, but UAVs can do a lot of things where you wouldn't want to have a human or it just is expensive..
For example:
Searching for people in distress during hazardrous weather conditions.
Intelligence in enemy territory.
Checking powerlines, that is expensive with pilot&helicopter.
And so forth.
