Sorry I have to speak on this. You probably think we didn't know about the attack before it happened. The US Government knew about the attack before it happened. Why do you think all of our ships were in dock and all three carriers were out at sea. The government has admitted this (don't have a link but search any engine and you'll find plenty.)
Roosevelt wanted us in the war but the public was strongly against it. How could he get us into war? Hmmmm.....
Please don't use the Pearl Harbor attack as an example. Our government wanted in that war and that's why we got in.
Linux people for the most part, especially the higher ups (Linux, Alan, etc.) know that Linux has its problems and admit that. They never say that "Linux is perfect". They just keep working to make it better.
MS people, especially higher ups, however, continue to say that "MS has no problems and is stable, secure, etc"
The reason a lot (read: not all) of Linux people nail MS is because of its incessant lying.
Why didn't Corel's security hole make big noise. Gee, maybe because Corel didn't claim that it's the most secure OS ever.
Geez, and you're complaining about double standards.
I'm guessing you're not an American. But if you are, then statements like "voting is a priviledge" irratate me to no end. Read the constitution buddy. Voting is a right, not a priviledge.
I've got ancestors who died for the ability to elect their leaders as I'm sure you might. It isn't a priviledge given to us by the nice government, it's our right!
Windows2000 will use Kerberos strong encryption, which is an industry standard. (Someone else already busted you on Kerberos being authentication, so I'll note something else.)
Let me shine a spotlight on that mac truck driving through your argument.
1) MS has a habit of extending standards. Whether or not this is good or bad I won't get into. That flame war can go elsewhere.
2) Paraphrasing Mr. Schneier, who knows more about security than your and I put together, "The implementation of an algorithm/protocol/etc, can be the weakest link. A poor implementation can destroy even the strongest encryption."
This is totally the truth. It's also a great sadness. I don't think a lot of women realize just what they're missing because of this. I have a friend who made the first move and she's the happiest woman I've ever seen.

I take it noone remembers or has heard about the seventies and early eighties? Mergermania was there too. I was way too young to remember and only know what I've read and heard about but apparently then it was just as bad as now, and it wasn't the people who stopped it. The economy crashed (or technically, recessed.). That's what stopped all the mergers.
Someone who was old enough to know what was going on then, please comment because I'm missing some really good examples.
Americans don't have critical thinking skills.

Um hello?!?! I take it you're definitely not an American. I am so I can speak. Americans typically don't research things. They hear something, usually from the media, and then take it as fact. Pretty much if you control the media, you control this country. It goes back to a critical thinking comment I made a few days ago. Americans aren't taught how to think in their schools. They're taught such things as "Let's all get along", "What kind of personality do you have?", "Don't tell the child he's wrong because you'll hurt his feelings and damage his self-esteem." Don't get me wrong, Americans, for the most part, are good people. They're just caught up in their own little worlds and don't think about the big picture. It's the way we're raised and schooled.

While I don't use the colorful language of sparky here, I do agree with one of his points. Most teachers don't really teach, they make you memorize stuff. (My girlfriend is going to be a teacher so I'm not completely ignorant.) In school, I went to one of the better ones in the state, it was small and focused. However, I didn't learn how to learn or even critical thinking skills. The teachers never taught me how to think for myself, but rather memorize this, memorize that and do as they said. So while I don't believe a computer could replace a good teacher at all, it could definitely replace a bad one.
Agreed. Carter is the only ex-Prex doing something good for society. Habitat for Humanity is an awesome organization.
Why is it the people who do the actual work, don't get the credit?
Wouldn't it be nice if we had more people in power who were actually honest hardworking folks.
Like Linus, (don't worry, no hero worship here, just observations.) Family first, then everything else. No power-trips, no monster ego, but a guy who actually rolls up his sleeves and breaks out the elbow grease (ok, finger grease in this respect)
If someone's having a baby in the back seat of my car, fsck the law. She's getting to the hospital as fast as possible. No cop in the world is going to give me a speeding ticket. And for those of you who say, slow down you might have an accident, change the scenario. Your parent/spouse/child is having a heart attack/other nasty problem. You're telling me you're not going to stomp on that gas pedal and get him/her to the hospital? You're right that something bad MIGHT happen if you go too fast, but if you don't go fast enough, something bad WILL DEFINITELY happen.
they responded by telling me that they had spent thousands of hours developing their unique one-click technology. EXCUSE ME!!! Thousands of hours!?!?! unique!??!!
Either that's a bald-faced lie or they are so incompetent it boggles the mind (or both.)
Would barring them from other markets (say, everything but the pc desktop) be an affective punishment? Could they do that? Basically tell them, "I'm sorry but you can't 'innovate'/invest/have anything to do with the isp/palm/cable/whatever business."
I personally believe, only an opinion mind you, that preventing MS from getting into new markers would be the best solution. Make them stay only on the desktop, and possibly server. Don't let them on Palms, WebTVs, or anything else like that.
and I'm an engineer. I use it because it works. I do logic design and our tools are on our Solaris boxes (the day we move to NT is the day I hand in my two weeks notice) and we use PC-XWare on Windows to connect. I hate PC-XWare on Windows because: 1) It doesn't always connect correctly and displays horribly (8-bit color to actually see borders; this make backgrounds blow). 2) Windows doesn't let me have too many apps open or it chokes. So basically that's the only app I have open most of the time (and Eudora, and I know that takes lots of resources also.) 3) There is a lag between what I'm doing with the mouse and what's displayed. On Linux, response time is magnitudes better. I use Linux and it works awesome!
Nope, it did as almost any large company would do. That does not make it right though. As for whoever said the Judge has a history or anti-MS sentiment, I doubt it but if he did would you blame him? I mean, did you see what MS pulled in his courtroom? Doctoring evidence, lying to him and getting caught, having employees contradicting each other heavily. Please sirs/ma'ams, think for a minute.
Because it has such a grave consequence, a divide by zero generates an interrupt. At least on the x86 and I'm pretty sure on all other archs too (correct me if I'm wrong). This interrupt is trappable and the OS should respond accordingly. Linux will core dump as will other UNIX's. So really it is the OS's fault for not catching this. IMVHO
I heard quite a while back that the band that iridium uses is right next to the band that ground based radio astronomy uses and so effectively trashed it (radio astronomy) Has anyone else heard this?

When you give the code to everybody, you're begging for people to exploit it.

A little FUD there?
No, when you taunt people about how secure you are, then you're begging for people to exploit it.
..."it's reported that the new OS runs more than twice as fast on the same hardware."
HAHA!!! That's funny.
Lets compare:
Pocket PC: 32MB RAM 200MHZ
Palm: 8 MB RAM 16MHZ
to do the same thing. crap*2=crap
That's priceless. Thanks, I needed that.

What's the deal with that?
RedHat does poorly, it gets marked down.
W2K does poorly, they call MS.
Yea, nothing like an unbiased test.
Someone please explain this too me.
hahaha. I had a rough day and that made me laugh out loud.
thanks.

Guess what this means about MS's 'enhancements'.
There is an old saying,
"The road to hell is paved with good intentions."
Please think long and hard about that one as it's got more truth to it that one might think.
