Hi M. Stephen Evans is selling sensation instead of information.
MyDoom is a cleverly engineered piece of malicious Windows code, which means it's more probably be written by a malicious Windows developer.
Of course, your so-called reporter may also simply be incompetent and wanted the BBC to look even clumsier after a recent report had proved intrinsic disinformation about WMD coming from them.
So, please, either ask a REAL specialist for his opinion (REAL = technically competent and ethically unbiaised) or just ignore facts you cannot even comment.
Were it in my powers, would M. Evans lose his accreditation as a reporter in order to preserve our job credibility.
Well, if MyDoom is indeed "la creme de la creme" in terms of Windows programing, then it is obvious its author is an expert Windows developer, isn't it ?
So, it is quite flattering for the Linux community to associate any of its member to a multiplatform coding genius.
Okay, I think we both got carried to supposedly opposite interpretations of the same points of view. Have you ever SSH'ed to your Zaurus ? You'll see it runs over a complete GNU/Linux environment, really:) Now, over this there is a Qtopia port which consists of a DirectFB'ing port of Qt (not sure it uses the Genuine DirectFB, though...). Hence my point and yours. Now, of course, I do not have the evidence that Qtopia is not (yet) supposed to be made after Qt2.x.y only, hence my answer. I am sure I'll be alive when Qtopia/Qt3.2 is out:)
Why is this a flamebait ? I coded 2 Qtopia apps, "ZooZ" and "Wine(!)", and I sure know Qt as well as my fellow KDE-ers. I *love* the API : it is really nice to code. But I am not the average Joe 6pack, hence my comment.
How does this make the above a flamebait ?

Same for me : Cubase would not run under Linux. I since switched to OSX which is a nice compromise between hackability and mainstreamdom.

This is a good opportunity for Windows users to migrate to a free desktop.
Not everybody is a geek, neither do they want to turn their goods consumption into a political fight.
OK, so they are using Windows, most probably because it came preinstalled and optimized on their new Dell/Gateway or HP computer.
When they want something it exist on their platform, so how should they perceive the need for switching to a Free desktop ?
BTW, if it's just about the desktop, will it run over Windows kernel ? I guess this comment was not that useful.
Neither is mine, maybe but hey, let's increase its value: Will these optimizations be ported to Qtopia, so that my Zaurus finally becomes sufficiently fast ?
Some inside info about Cacko Linux : We are about to port our environment to others PDA such as ARM based Palm.. So, if you think Qtopia is too slow or Zaurus/iPaq are too expensive... Wait a moment:)
Instead, according to Reed -- a former Air Force secretary whose fascinating cold war book, "At the Abyss," will be published by Random House next month
So, it's more an ad than anything else, isn't it ? And the fact that it ended that dramatically just makes me kind of sceptical...:(
Someone uses a portable large (10-20GB)
USB harddrive to transfer data. Firewire, most probably. But I agree. We'll soon learn that somebody else used his digital camera's removable memore module (SM/CF/XD/SD/MMC/MC) in order to transfer data without playing Johnny Mnemonics.
I suggest you could develop management software for your fellow physicians... Be it Free, you could consult and install it. But I really think it's a mistake to drop a job which is so socially interactive in order to taste the infinite pain of error checking and regression test all alone in a computer room.
EUians created the US, the US is about to create a computer that'll create instead of them and thus form another derivated world... This computer will create some carbonated circuits which will create living beings which will be dumped to another planet where the living beings will evolve into EUians... etc.

Who gives a shit if a Linux user wrote it ?
Well, if MyDoom is indeed "la creme de la creme" in terms of Windows programing, then it is obvious its author is an expert Windows developer, isn't it ?
So, it is quite flattering for the Linux community to associate any of its member to a multiplatform coding genius.
...under Windows, of course : where would the fun be if you could not get MyDoomed as weel as spammed ?

Thanks Chris, but it still is not compatible with my hundreds of recorded Cubase projects.
Well, this Andy supposedly is a good MS-Windows coder, isn't he ?
;-)
I guess he'll easily find a good job at Microsoft whose 250k$ would rather look like an IT-head hunter fee
Let's call ourselves Andrew, Andy, Andre, Andrei or Andrzej...
Your comment is interesting but totally bogus.
: :: Qt:GNU/Linux
Zaurus is a Physical device.
So, you'd rather have written
Qtopia:Embeddix
Embedix is nothing else than a GNU/Linux (currently 2.4) port for ARM32 embedded devices.
Now, Qtopia is based upon Qt/Embedded, so if Qt version is increased, so is Qtopia API, hence my question.
It's not because 2 morons modded me as a flamer and a troll that I am.

Nope, sorry : not powerfull enough.
Do this OS support SyncML (in order to be able to iSync it with OSX) ?
I think this could be THE reason I'd buy it.

Dear Mr Krosoft :
What if he URL is checking for a proper referal when accessing it ?
Why also be shy and just typing an URL when you could perform a complete HTTP/1 session using a (... sorry : THE MS) terminal application ?

You are a wonderful human being !
I think this will be the one who'll get a +5 funny because the others will consider his/her theories as some comic bullcrap.

I guess others might also wonder what it is about... "good or whack".
