Actually with the latest virus (klez.gem) you can't rely on the "from" line of emails. It is enough that both your email and Hemos are in an infected machine for this to happen. Read Wired for more info.
So don't jump to conclusions.
Here in Venezuela they sell it without protection. I am willing to exchange it for a protected one.
Do you realize how stupid this is? 1) counterfit CDs are very common in Venezuela; 2) Whoever buys it here will put it in Internet 3) The guy in Europe has a incentive to look for the Mp3s in Internet (since he/she can't create them legally.

First, the car analogy is wrong. Is true, no Porsche fan would buy a car from a no name company (even if it had Porsche components), but they may buy it from a reputable source (what if Ford made a Porsche-components car for 30-40% less?)
Second, who, besides Microsoft, has succeeded doing OS for PCs? Nobody! (here success is defined exclusively in monetary terms). Why should anybody try? The only approach that *may* succeed is the Free Software approach. Watch how much success Sun has had with Slowaris for Intel
Actually, the reason IIS is exploited more is that once you know a server is running IIS you, basically, know the underlying OS and can in your own machine build a program that will run on the server, hence making the exploited hole more interesting.
This is way Linux should never succeed in the desktop. Lets all be friends and use Mac OS X on the Desktop and Linux in our servers!
Well, it can *never* solve dependencies (with Red hat 7.0 and 7.2) the worst thing is that it says to report the info below and the Window is empty!!!
If it where a M$ product we would all be ROFL
I do not understand what they are planing to do about Tourist, are they going to perform searches on them? Are they going to force them to get a card? (imagine the lines at the airports). Do they even now how many tourist take plane rides inside the states? They got to be kidding with this!!! I don't think they have thought of the difficulty and uselesness of this ID Card!
How come Apple has to produce OS X for Intel, but Microsoft
doesn't have to make Windows for PowerPCs??? Dell doesn't have to make nonintel hardware?
I think the reason is that you guys want OS X and all the stuff Apple has produce in the last few years (even the colors), you just don't want to pay for it.
Learn something now: There is no such thing as a free lunch.
There will be no Mac OS X for Intel. You want OS X,buy a Mac...
My Thesis is in there, and I do believe the
University (of Michigan, in my case) has the
right to sell it. My brothers Thesis (from
Harvard) is not there.
Here is the twist! When I published my thesis
I ask Sidney Harris' permission to reproduce
a cartoon ("Proof? You want proof? I'll give you
proof...", my thesis is in Math) for a few
(less than ten) copies of my thesis...
If they reproduce the Cartoon who would be
violating Sidney Harris' copyright me or them?
I am unwilling to pay 60$ to find out...
By the way I give my thesis for free...
My understanding is that Apple has sued (up to 25)
unnamed individuals (John Does). The reason to
do this is to force Web sites to tell how they
obtained the information. Someone has broken a
nondisclosure agreement and that is illegal...
The main proof that Apple is doing well is the amount of/. articles about Apple, the amount of irrational replies ("Apple is dead") to those, and the amount of orders Apple have (more than Half a Quarter of back-orders). You may not like the Mac, but it is here and it will stay for some time...
Yes, the lumping of CBRN with CT gives a certain slant to the article. I believe CT is fairly easy to achieve. Some resources are needed, but they do not compare with the visibility/difficulty of making a CBRN attack. In particular, any 3rd world govertment could manage to get the equipment neccessary. The only missing part would be the capable personnel. But most of these countries have more than enough scientist that are highly retrainable and capable of conducting research in the area of CT. Secrecy could be a problem (particulrly, if the military is already infiltrated in these countries). I found curious that they do not include Mathematician in the list of "dangerous professionals" (I am a Mathematician, so this is a very subjective comment), must Math people could develop abilities in CS, Bio, Chem or Physics with a short training. I think the problem will get worse. Recomendations are hard to give...
Okey, now we are going to see, whether the argument "Linux would die if Solaris was free" has any content. I know, this doesn't mean Solaris is free or GPLd, but how many people will jump ship. My guess? Not a big number...
I agree, Dvorak is an old guy who doesn't get what is going on right now. He still has to make a living so he designs his columns to go against the flow. At the end, he knows he is obsolete...
What Apple did was different because they didn't have good (or even bad!) servers. So they try to say use Unix as server and Macs as clients. That didn't work, but is a different thing. One thing in favor of Unix/Linux is that there are still a lot of Universities (especially outside the US) which Microsoft won't touch. And Linux will always be cheaper than MS Stuff.

/. has to do something, they are way too slow posting things.
This story was in my site Three days ago...

Yep, thi story has finally make me come to my senses... I will now go to my preferences and avoid all future Katz nonsense.

I love all the articles saying how restrictive the GPL is....
Has anyone read any of the licenses by Microsoft?
That's restrictive!
