True, not sure the email thingie would work against unix. However, all networks got cracks, there are flaws in unix thatr has ben used b4 to gain root access and there are probably a few around now as well, nothing is 100% secure...
Mind you I believe unix is far more secure than win, but it' s *not* 100%

Why would it kill of MS???? it was just the ME source and the Office (ok, that's quit big)?
Ain't gonna hurt them more that all those pirate copied CDs, except for the humiliation...
No more than a couple of geeks are willing of going through the process of compiling it b4 using it and they can't really release it big style as a official distro... hence, it wont do more harm than rouge CDs...
And soon MS will be out with new (probably incompatible) versions...
Trust me, I'm not a big MS fan but I don't see any need for stuff like this or the DOJ (little bit uncertain about that one) in order to beat them, they will go down anyway...because there will be better alternatives around than MS.. Mind you I don't think they disapear either, probably gonna be the major desktopOS for home users for quite a while... so what? not my problem, as long as I don't have to use it....

doubt that many Open source people would be too interested in Windows source... Too big and nothing new in there anyway.. Look how hard it was for the mozilla people to get programmers to work in the mozilla code...
COmapnies can't use it either, even if they found it. Might get caught and that would be too serious to be true...
They can compare the sources in court. If the Wine teams only been using legal methods (of which I'm sure) then they should have nothing to worry... Don't think MS is too interested in going after wine or the different emulators. Still to small to be on the radarscreen for them
WEll, if you know what you targeting, you bloody make sure that you try to get a trojan in that's binary compatible. That trojan didn't get there by chance.. Of course it was aplanned attack.
If they knew MS ran *nix, then they would have used/build an *nix trojan....

That 9999 thing is an old database/preY2K problem. Sometimes you use 99..... etc as a marker in dbs to say it's not a valid number (basically like a NULL, really) thing was that in 1999, some db fields containing the year in 2 digits would contain 99, you get the message, if the app using the db intepreted that as a invalid or unset field then *poff*
Dreamcast is alive and well, thank you very much!!!
Mind you, probably wont stop me from buying a PS2 when it comes to the UK, but, I'm not in any rush really....
To effectively counter this position, you must acknowledge that this argument actually sounds good to people who are heavily invested in polluting the planet, then find a compelling reason to shift their perspective. Any ideas?
kneecapping?
true, was thinking of about £10 worth of weed sort of. Not sure about the rest of the UK but in london (with a little luck) you just get your fingers slapped/ a warning
Not that I never, ever inhaled!! it's true! honest!
yep, not drinking very much though, really hate beer fueled clubs, etc... Very bad vibe there usually...
Well, no recreational drugs are really *good* (as in healty) from what I know. I do think they can be enjoyed with moderation, as long as you know what you're doing/what risks you're taking
Um, you can count Switzerland in there as well, together with Holland. Also, most countries (in EU at least) wont jail you for small possetion, you merely get a fine/warning/slap on the fingers, if anything at all
Indeed moderation is the word here...
Funny ppl going bezeerk over weed, when they (usually) more than happy to get pissed beyond recognition....
oh well...
Ever read an EULA? COmmercial software got no warraty whatsoever, unless you buy support. WHich you can do for linux as well, if that company wont hold it's promises regarding it's support, it'll go baraboom...

eh, you mean *COBOL* programmers in the late 1999...i suppose...
So it looks like europe (linux) is doing quite well taking over the good old US of A!! ;-)

nope, you probably wont be alive before it leaves

my God, we would breed like rabbits then!!!!
Yeah, People smoke FAR more here in the UK, were it's ILLEGAL, so legalisation does NOT neccesarily make more people use it!
A good link that's quite neutral, well at least they acknowledge it isn't vitamins they're taking..
