Thank you for your unwanted opinion. This guy explicitly said he does not want to use a mac. If you can't add to the conversation, please keep your mouth shut. I'm interested in hearing what kind of applications there are for linux.
You know, I've pondered leaving the country sometimes myself. But the biggest question I face is where to go? Are there any countries not controlled by corporations? And 3rd world countries don't count.
To everybody who thinks I'm an inconsiderate prick for making fun of the situation:
Fuck off.
The whole point of my joke is that the Cnet post makes it sound like Microsoft Office comes with Anthrax. I'm not laughing at the expense of the employees who have contracted it.
As for the number of moderations done to my post so far (13 as of this writing), that's just good shit. I'm glad I could piss off many people, and make others laugh at the same time.
Shit Max. You said alot of things I've been thinking in the last two weeks. Aside from a violent revolution, the only other way I can think of to fix our governtment is to infest the public offices. I don't mean infest it with geeks, just somebody other than CEOs or lifetime politicians. I believe that the founders of our government never intended public office to be a career, just a public duty that everybody ought to fufill in some respect.
We need to get more honest, caring, American citizens into office. I don't neccessarily mean congress - I mean mayors, state senators, governers, county commisioners, etc.
And we should also get over this whole party thing. It's complete bullshit. Nobody can completely agree with the views of either party, so basically it comes down to choosing the lesser of two evils.
So there you go, we can either A) Do nothing and get raped. B) Try to overthrow the government and get killed. C) Try to get into office, and not get raped or killed!
Heh, I work with a guy who isn't the brightest at times. He's been setting up a 2000 Server that's been hit twice with nimda in the last week. He reinstalled the server from scratch after each infection. His response?
"I put the computer on the network to install Norton, and it keeps getting infected before I can get the updates"
Ok, TWO THINGS:
1) If your going to install IIS, do not plug it into the network you've shut down IIS. Then go download the updates.
2) Norton isn't going to stop you from getting infected, it will only warn you about it during a routine check. If you want your machine to stay healthy, PATCH YOUR GODDAMN SYSTEM.
Seriously, Microsoft has a little utily called HFNetChk that will scan any local or remote system and will tell you what patches need to be applied. This includes system, IIS, and SQL Server, and IE.
Not all updates are listed on the little automatic update website.
There's this little thing called upgrading. You don't use 5 year old software, why do you insist on using hardware that old? I'm not saying you should ditch the hardware, I'm using a P200 myself. But if it's performance you want, quit being so damn cheap.
The audio in on your soundcard is typically analog, unless you have a high end card. Considering all of these damn 'copy-protected' CDs we're seeing, it might be a good idea to get one.
as long as you are standing with bare feet on a water-soaked floor. But on shoes with rubber soles you NEED that 2nd paperclip
Not true. I had a friend in high school who stuck a paperclip into a socket during class. it shocked the hell out of him. he was shaking the rest of the class. all of the students saw it and were laughing there asses off. the teacher was writing on the board and missed the entire thing.
In case you haven't been there in awhile, sCary's Shugashack no longer exists under that name. Steve wanted a more "presentable" name. It's now known as Shacknews. And he hasn't used the name sCary in like 2 years.
I'm a little fuzzy on this, but I believe you own the CHANGES to the original work. You may license your changes however you wish, but the original code still must be GPLed.
Besides the obvious reponse that others have given (if they sit at the machine, they can pull the plug), W2k has a security option to require a user to login before being able to shut it down. I think your making too much out of a few *BETA* screenshots.
Let's talk about what matters....

I had a bitch of a time installing OSes just yesterday. I somehow managed to fuck up my slackware installation when I tried to upgrade X to 4.0.2. I tried debian, and it yelled at me. I then tried slackware again, and lilo messed up. So I tried the new redhat beta. It crashed even before brining up fdisk on install. I got so fed up I installed FreeBSD, and all was well:)

I hadn't bothered to read your post until now. But after reading it and doing some soul searching, I've come up with a thought....
Go fuck youself.

I just checked out news.com - Guess what one of the headlines are?
Anthrax found in Microsoft office
Can the DOJ show that MS does harm consumers now?

In all honesty, that's probably the best reply yet to the parent post.

God that was funny.
I would guess that you would hold down the BIOS setup button, and then power on the computer.

I believe that's the TURING test, not the turning test

to look at it. You've already scared me enough for one day.
Have you forgotten that Paul Allen has money invested in Transmeta?

You don't find it funny?
You must own stock in LNUX
But how many home users are going to know enough to setup an NT/W2K box? About as many as will be able to setup a Linux/*BSD box.
Point given. BTW, I like your sig.
