The REAL False sense of security is in thinking that it only happens to someone elses operating system.
This like the argument that you should not wear your set belt lest you be lulled into reckless driving by a false sense of security.
Some Linux servers were turned into attack zombies in the spate of Ddos attacks recently. I am currently using Mcafee uvscan on my Linux boxes which will scan for Trinoo and the rest.
Then of course there are the people who will put there infected DOC files up on the linux server to be downloaded by others.
Doing this, I can assure you, has not made me warm and fuzzy enough to not bother downloading the saint beta 2.0 which will scan for vulnerabilities for same.
Virus checking should be a part of the security program for any network.
If someone has an adequate definition of conciousness I would love to here it.
I once made the mistake of referring to a bacterium as not concious in front of a Hindu.
Many people see everything, including rocks, as concious.
Others have doubts about animals and even most people.
Then there is the whole Gaia thing.
This and other experiances have told me that unless I can come up with an adequate definition of conciousness I think I have to reserve judgment at to what is, isn't or does or does not have the potential to be concious
Anybody have a good definition? I sure as hell don't.
