What I want to know is this. How much of my spending habits, (what I eat, drink, sleep on, sleep in, sleep with, all that information) how much of it does a company like Interac have? Or Visa, or MasterCard. When you make your puchases using that little pinpad, or any other form of electronic payment.. How much of that information is stored, analyzed, saved, used?
You're all afraid of losing the ability to download free mp3's.. or surfing porn anonymously.. but. What about being able to buy groceries without big bro knowing what you eat? Or what movies you watch. Or where you were? How much of that electronic trail can be used to trace your movements? Who has the right to that information? What are they going to use it for?
Do you think that your day cannot be traced by the purchases you make? Where you work? Traced with camera's throughout the city... I wonder who's made a game of watching you, just for practice.....
Actually.. anything that can be done at the GUI level on a Windows server can be done via CLI tools. In fact, there is functionality available in CLI tools for Windows that is not available via the GUI. And yes, they are included with the Server OS, or can be found on the internet (even MS's website) for free. So.....
I think your assumption about CLI is false. But I can't prove it so...*shrug* As for the crappy MCSE assumption? Well, I can't aruge with that one.
It's interesting what can be done with the manipulation of data and definintions. Perhaps this survey would have been of more value had they included some of the other variations.. such as running Windows with Apache? That would have a huge impact on thier licensing and security costs.
I also have a difficult time believing that one windows sysadmin can only handle 10 machines, while a linux admin can handle 44 in comparison. Of course this could be a reflection of the quality of the MCSE's out there that are brought into the sysadmin fold. *shrug*
Either way... perhaps someone should do a study of a mixed environment? Find out the optimun TCO mix, not just the black & white versions of all one way or all another.
So, the media companies are attempting to extend US law over the rest of the world. Conspiracy people must be going crazy with this!

What moral highground? Did I state in any way that Canada had hero's that the US did not? No.. I didn't reference Canada in any other way than to state that I am a Canadian. And yes, I'm proud of it. I'm sure you're equally proud of being American.
What does this say about Cultural Arrogance though when I make a completely un-nationalistic statement, and you jump all over me for being arrogant?

"So you would rather have fire fighters parading around on every TV station....aren't we all sick of that? "
Couldn't tell you, don't watch that much TV.
"that take any opportunity--or make it if there is none--to bash America. You, sir, are a troll."
How did I bash america? I just asked where her hero's went.
".. I have probably seen much more of the world than you have. "
Since the only country I've ever been to other than Canada is the US (Spokane), you're absolutely correct. But, that's completely irrelevant to any point made in my question.
"1) Movies must have a brave hero to be good. 2) Because we're making a movie that's not about a brave hero, we as a Nation are somehow cowardly and decidedly unheroic"
1) I didn't say that at all. But generally there are 3 basic plotlines. Man vs Man, Man vs Himself. This would appear to be Man vs Man, and generally in that plotline, there is a protagonist, and an antagonist. aka Hero vs Villian.
2) You're reading way too far into this. Chill out.
I don't think America is unheroic at all. I think there are a lot of hero's in america (as in every nation). I'm just questioning the wisdom of adding hero status to a mediocre programmer who's only true accomplishment was being iconified by the media.
You may see it as logically unsound and a 2 minute jerk off session, but I suspect that you're seeing what you want to see.

Yes.. it's a very dramatic story. Kid has idea. Kid drops out of school to pursue idea. Evil Corporation realizes that kid's idea is allowing infringment on copywritten material. Evil Corporation crushes kid. Kid become folk hero.
So.. what's the huge deal about this? The kid didn't save any lives. He didn't revolutionize anything. He didn't improve the standard of living for anyone. He didn't create anything that had an impact on the majority of Americans. No.. he wrote some software that pissed off the wrong people.
What does it say about America when she has to find her hero's in the realm of corporate business? Perhaps she should take a look for her real hero's. Those people that actually affect the bottom line of all the people around them?
Would seem to be worth only the paper that they're printed on. What security product, employee, software package are you going to try first? Everything and everyone and thier dog seems certified one way or another, but what does it all mean?
