I have administered both linux and windows servers. The only compromise I ever had was on a Linux server through a Horde exploit. He did not get root but was able to open a screen to home base and run spam through.
I have not seen much of a difference between windows and linux security from a remote exploit point-of-view.
The problem is the local install vector, and I would agree with the notion that with the proper privileges set, you needn't worry about this any more than you would on a Linux machine.
I was just thinking the exact same thing. Obviously the new interface takes some getting used to, but it is much more convenient once you get the hang of it.
Yeah, I suppose in this case that is probably true. But proxies generally only log the URL visited. So queries sent to a web site would only show up if HTTP GET was used AND your particular proxy gathered additional path information from the URL to put into the log (I know that my Squid proxy does not gather such information, it only logs the base URL path). HTTP POSTs probably would not show up at all unless some other mechanism was enabled/added to the proxy.
I believe this is up to the marketing of the product that will have blu-ray technology in it.
You don't have to make blu-ray the key feature if you don't want to.
Besides, I am sure that by the time this technology becomes a must have for grandma the standardization will be sorted out and you will have one or the other or both technologies incorporated into a single device.
I personally read books only on my PDA. I find it very convenient that I can carry several 800+ page novels in a small container, be able to read in low light conditions without having an external light source, have multiple bookmarks and be able to search for text.
I should note that the PDA I use for ebooks is an old Compaq iPaq 3150 with a monochrome screen. It is much better suited to ebooks than my newer PocketPC with a color LCD screen. The color screen is not only harder to read in low light conditions but also drains battery power at 8x the rate as compared to the monochrome version.

I would block SNL on my network too if I had one.
It's remarkably unfunny
Wow, sherlock holmes to the rescue....
just because you have a crappy sarcasm detector doesn't mean everyone does
Links please

There is emusic.com which offers all of it's music in MP3's encoded with Lame using --preset standard
Until we can read "life-signs"?

Quantify "crazy low" please.
not if you know what's good for you

yes. I would say the time has come to panic.
mp3s are illegal in the US?
Not being integrated into the OS at a low level is a big plus
For some reason I thought there would be a trendy restaurant out there
What you describe is stand-by state. In hibernation the memory is dumped to disk and the machine turns off completely.
STATION!

Yeah, but who ever has a penny on them?
yes, because as we all know WoW is the first and only MMO and all internet jargon has derived it.

Somehow I find that hard to believe. Windows 9x made for some pretty hellish experiences.
