  12. Is Windows Dead? on Is Linux Dead? · · Score: 2

    It appears MSNBC is reporting that Windows has failed as an operating system. By citing the large Windows hype as reason for Windows to be dominating the market, they draw the conclusion that the "PC in every home" alternative has flopped as an operating system. They briefly mention the success of Windows in the "nobody got fired for buying IBM" community, but really the article gives Windows as little credit as possible.

    Seems possible, doesn't it?

  19. ISS? on Slashback: OpenSSH, Bio, Timeliness · · Score: 3, Funny

    So, is this another incompletely researched, uniformative exploit report? Where's the "patch that fixes nothing" for the exploit? Isn't that how ISS does business?

    Fat bastards

    An aquaintance of mine is just the opposite. He has to get out of the car and walk a bit in various spots, to let his wife drive over the raised manhole covers that their car won't clear when he's in it.
