Security center popup lots of warnings, and thus gives you the feel you are safe if you have antivirus and updates and firewall. But users still have to understand that if they open an.exe/.scr file from mail this is unsafe.
It does not detect my (kerio 2.15) firewall. (and running 2 firewalls makes the system less secure than running 1!). Was this so hard? It did not detect my norton antivirus. What updates? I want uptime, not updates! The new settings for updates rebooted my computer once without me at the steering wheel. (bad, very bad!)
So first thing to do is disable the security center.
sp2 blocked my internet banking software and i had to dig deep in the settings of internet explorer to enable it. (No, firefox is not an option here.)
However recompiling the OS to be more secure against buffer overflows seems to have had an positive effect on the security of the latest updates where XP sp2 was "not affected".
For 3 grand you can buy also some faster off the shelfs pc's that are 3 times(~2400 Mhz equivalient) faster that the x-boxes, have 1 Gigabit network interfaces. and you can choose if you use a HD or not. Use onboard graphics. and have more memory if you application requires it. I bet some people here can google up some of this projects in seconds.
remember the $200 PC?
(i know some of these projects, but they are in dutch. )
The comparison to a high-end opteron/xeon is just not fair from the price perspective, however it is an interresting experiment. (And it leaves you with 8 modded xbox to play halo the next week in the anand labratory)
They heave great servers at mozilla.org. THay can handle a/. But if you really want to share the file to a/. crowd make a.torrent file and share it using bittorent.
It makes me wonder, does balmer mean that the pc should be $100 hardware? or should the 100$ be spend on the software on the light pc? something like the complete software for the pc for $100.
Windows start edition, Microsoft works, some local software.... = $100. And then some cheap hardware.
Surely he doesn't mean Hardware + Startedition ($30) = 100$. Hardware for 70$ would be even more harder to make.

The internet will die in 2006.
That is what will happen if udp will be the basis for it. Since udp has no rate control build in this either has to be build at the application level or servers/routers will drown. Yes, ik know routers can drop udp packets if overloeaded, but this kind of procotol just sends more packets to compensate for the dropped packets.
I am utterly confused what brwoser to use tomorrow.
This is clearly a lot of security problems for mozilla/firefox. Opera is also not an option since the opera_die clearly is an security breach on opera.
Lynx is an option (limiting the memory of the current session. ) but is ugly.
i.e. has a long history of security problems and that is an important issue not to use it.
Should i use one of the other browsers that is not i.e. based?
From the FA: The poll of 724 Internet users, taken Sept. 17 to 19, showed that only 24 percent of respondents regard themselves as "knowledgeable" about how to handle spyware threats.
However the universal matra of the helpdesk from dell/packard bell/* can be applied:

Thirth the problem is in the details. "simple" things like extracting the plutonuim from the bomb is not as easy as a hollywood movie explains. Or making a big bang to explode a nucliear warhead.
There are other things that are much scarier and simpler to do. Like dropping planes on all kinds of objects that do NOT have a symbolic value, but are toxic (like your next door industries).
the tv wonder was NOT recommanded by a lot of readers, but this might be the usb 1.1 tv-wonder that simply does not have enough bandtwith to the computer.
put the car battery in a big plastic container so it doesn't leak and ruin the floor Make sure tis is a ventilated space. Car batteries are made to run in ventilated spaces...a and that is for a reason.
the wires have to be very thick. If you wire it up with lamp cord or less, the insulation will catch fire when the power goes out and the battery is trying to dump all that juice out. If you ever tried this (sounds like it ) then you might not know what you are doing.
UPS that usually lasts 5 minutes may start smoking when you put in a bigger battery and run it for 10 minutes. Sound you are getting too much juice from a simple ups. This should not happen. Or you replace the batteries with a version that gives too much volt/ low internal resistance. Then the ups has to burn too much energy.
compare the cost and trouble of UPSs to running a journalling file system, apple and pears. Backups are still needed when using a ups (user error....) And a ups might give you a more stable computer system since it filters the power continuesly, this might be important in some underdevelopment area's (like florida, usa?) where they have brwonouts and so on. And even with journalling file system YOU MIGHT LOOSE DATA, since it often only journals the directory structure, not the data structure.
First of all: You are missing the point: copy protection just hassels legal users, while illegal users just download a version that does not need the key.
But they are a lot more expensive than the 1 or 2 dollar extra cost for licencing the cd protection. And this is cutting in the costs! (prices named on the everkey site 23$ to 27$ when taking 1000+ units.

Windows Server 2003 Compute Cluster Edition is for up to 128 processors, however they boast it might do 256 processors.
That might not make in in the top 500 of super computers:
last 500 super computers
Most computer in the bottom of the top 500 heave at least 256 processors.
MS themself claim that every factor 2 gives it's own set of problems.
However selling 128 licenses of windows 2003 server is interesting.....
Winrar has this "put recovery record" that does just this. And it has (zip comparable) compression.

I just got the difference between star wars and star trek explained to my wife ("ouch that dude has a ugly mask..." she still sees men in mask).
Star wars is a movie, and star trek is a tv series that also has some movies made about the series.
Now lucas trek is makeing the universe even more difficult.
The "good" thing is that we will not see the star wars series in europe for some years so i have some time to prepare her.
Security is all about trust. Would you trust software written by an ex-virus writer? Or would you use the software recommanded by your local guru?
Not it is not as scary as you might think.
First notice that they don't agree.
