Client/Server requirements or the ability to remote in? These are 2 different things. I am a cynic towards X as I do not see dumb terminals besides at fast food restaurants like McD's these days.
I see mobile and low latency becoming big. I see web UI's taking over as well and serving the elements in HTML 5 fashioned to any client independent of OS which I consider a boon. I hate any OS that tries to be standard including even Linux.
Maybe if I saw apps that have the server part of the program in a big server and the client in a think Linux smart terminal I would be more empathetic into not throwing out what works right? I have never seen one before and I have been in tech for almost 15 years! I have seen mainframe terminal apps and some unix ones but they use telnet on Windows. Not the X server/client model.
Bought out for just $250. I guess that is what integrity costs nowdays.
Instead of ranting like we do on tech forums like slashdot I am wondering something instead? Is it possible to run with no campaign contributions at all? How stupid are American voters who buy things based on TV ads?
I am dead serious too. Perhaps if less people really vote based on flashy ads on TV we can get some R's and D's on pledge to not take any corporate donations? Ya ya both parties are the same I am about to get, but here is the truth. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME. Only same in being corrupt.
A true R is a libertarian and a true D is a green party person. With no influence they can push their ideologies.
I know it is not cool to praise a Windows tidbit, but one interesting security benefit of Windows Vista and higher is it does tokens. Also lowrights mode as well with ACL. So in essence with UAC you send a token to wininet to run it on another account. With a standard account this is removed and you manually have to enter a password. This is useful for alot of XP and IE 6 related trojans that target users with a local admin account.
Just switching to a standard account even in XP hugely cuts down malware if you ask any enterprise who after updating their apps and enforcing this with a GPO.
Still this is not perfect as even under a standard account a piece of malware can attach itself to something running root or administrator. This is where lowrights mode of a modern IE and Chrome use where anything run can even write to the file system or see which processes or threads are on the system. Pretty limiting sandbox. Still not perfect but it offers another layer of protection and the best argument to move up from XP which lacks this.
You know Fireproof NAS does exist for when you absolutely can not lose your data. Sure the units are melted and cooked away, but the hard disks within are perfectly retrievable.
Isn't there a safe there too where the computer room is as another layer of security.
But a very expensive and difficult to administer system made in India with no UX considerations requiring obsolete browsers and ultra expensive RDBMS licenses that small doctors offices can't afford is the way to go forward.
X11 is remote by default whether you like it or not.
To get an app to work on X you need a server and client component and it emulates running on a freaking network with high latency. Does that sound like a great architecture to you? Great for dumb terminals and smart terminals in which the system was made for in the 1980s.
Gnome hides this by default but under the scenes just to get opengl to work it uses hacks with DRM opengl in the server and it tries not to talk to X for the actual view. So in essence X sees a black box and a hack shows you the code. That is just one horrible work around that X does. It is not adequate and there is nothing to fear with change.
Let me change a few words around for entertainment purposes:-)
PHB: "I'm in complete agreement with you. What they're doing is throwing away everything that used to work with activeX just to have something they can say they developed in a lot of cases. They're also making a lot of things W3C only, and throwing out compatibility with IE 5 quirks mode and IE 6 browsers."
Sound ludicrous but my point is X is also a bad technology that is dated and a thorn in the Unix ecosystem equally. People fear change sometimes and I can tell you the same Unix nerds screamed when Sun got rid of Inet for their event driven system system which is more modern and appropriate for laptops and modern systems where conditions change.
Have you used Linux 13 years ago? I have and MAN X SUCKS back then and it showed more easily. You do not realize it because you have very fast cpus with gobs of ram. But I remember X taking up just 75% of the ram before I could run any apps.
X is a dumb terminal technology made for greenscreens of the Carter Administration of where you had the VAX the size of a refigerator and everyone had dumb terminals or smart ones with long serial cables to the computer room.
It was not designed for multimedia, OpenGL, low latency, touch screens, low power phones or tablets, or even running a desktop program.
Thats right your code has to run in a server and another copy of itself as a client. Why?? Gnome hides some of this the openGL workarounds are to go to the linux kernel directly with DRM (where does that leave Solaris and FreeBSD users?) to get around that horrible hack of X.
The unix haters manual has an entertaining section on X. The protocol, technology, and API are beyond horrible.
I think Linux lost on the desktop because of X! We would not be fighting for 15 aweful years recreating Guis due to the lack of X working.
Basically by default it filters the bad ads. However you can filter all ads if you wish and that option is there. I like this method as to reward SOME advertisement if done properly to support websites.
Also the bad guys can simply get another host so your hostfile will always be out of date.
Right now probably isn't the best time to argue about XP users. Sure, XP is still strong at ~30% market share, but the real question is: how much of that 30% is corporate? All corporate machines will move to Windows 7 either by May 2014 or at the very latest, the end of the year. Having an unsecured environment is simply not an option for most corporations.
I know my current company is still in the process of switching to Windows 7. We have ~2,000 people on site, and ~600 XP machines. Coincidentally, that's right at the 0.30 mark, but it should be noted that we don't have a 1:1 people:computer ratio. I forget how many computers we have, but it's over 4,000.
From the website point of view, there's really no reason to hold out once Windows XP is phased out. All other systems can handle HTML 5(well, the systems with large enough market share to matter), which means all the website will have to do is put up a banner saying "You are missing the required plug-in, please click the following link to upgrade your browser." as opposed to "You are missing the required plug-in. Please click the following link to install flash."
Either way, it's one click, one download, and one install. People who are smart enough to install flash should also be smart enough to install a browser that supports HTML 5, even if they don't know what HTML 5 is or understand why their current browser can't support it.
Conversely, just because IE 6 or 8 has x% of market, doesn't mean all of those machines need or require flash.
Alternatively, other platforms that people are familiar with, like smart phones, consoles, tablets, are all HTML 5 compatible. If they get used to seeing HTML 5 features, like stopping a.gif, they'll get to a point where they need/severaly want that feature. That alone will drive them to update their desktop web browser.
Very little is corporate now. Most have already upgraded or in the final stages of phasing out the XP boxen from the internet all together.
The majority now are grandmas and Chinese with pirated copies with Windows Update disabled and IE 6 for the latter in Asia. Home users do not know any of this and are sitting ducks with no IT department to protect them.
I really wish MS would give a friendly polite warning to let them know support is ending soon and you have a few weeks to upgrade before security updates end. These users will not change until they get their credit cards hacked and it is an enabler for the bad guys.
Even with updates XP is very insecure and a crappy OS. These machines always get re-infected with higher infections rates than with Vista and higher boxen. The cost accountants at these companies never put this in as it is not part of GAAP it is not there in their eyes as a cost.
Yes it does mean % marketshare. The PHB bosses will say something along the lines of "What DO YOU MEAN YOU ARE TURNING AWAY CUSTOMERS??! Get that HTML 5 CRAP OFF and get old IE support back NOW." Guess which tool the pissed off webmaster will use for the same effects? You guessed it Flash.
Meanwhile Grandma will say, but my IE 8 works fine. I do not need to leave etc. I know because this is why IE 6 lasted so long. It wasn't until Google said ENOUGH and made Gmail and Youtbue not work with it in 2009 did it force the corps to now start IE migrations sigh.
Funny error handling and throwing an exception is the number 1 area used to 0wn Windows machines. The debugger will run the overflow at ring 0 everytime. It has been fixed for Windows 7 but IE 8 and XP you just need to crash IE to 0wn the system.
Yes by default it lets some non intrusive ads with a good security record. Follow the link above and it will disable all ads. I will let some in that I know that are safe to make sure websites get their bills paid. Just not ones that blast commercials and install malware.
Actually IE is the reason flash won't die! That and XP users who can't upgrade to a modern browser. As long as websites cater to them the longer they wont upgrade.
IE 6 lasted for 12 years as a result of this cycle back and forth waiting for the other to upgrade. Corps liked and locked them down and website makers worked for free for +10 years supporting them so why change?
If IE 8 gets below 5% then expect youtube and porn sites to phase out flash.Right now it is the worlds most popular browser thanks to China. Sigh
I find adblock and flashblock work extremely well. Modern browsers with lowrights mode sandbox the javascript fairly well and even IE 8 now supports XSS protection thankfully.
I also use Norton DNS which filters out known bad domains. While my system is not 100% perfect it is pretty darn secure with Avast running as well.
As long as IE 8 is still supported webmasters will refuse to let flash die. Since they support IE 8 it gives no incentive to the corps for leaving IE 8 and it is a cycle all over again where IE 8 is the IE 6 of this freaking decade.
Also 5 years ago is when youtube first supported HTML 5 h.264 videos. Still to this day 50% of the videos wont work without flash. Sigh. Worse if you try to go in without it a big red banner saying "FLASH NEEDED". Ignorant computer users will see this and click the link without testing videos first. They do not know what h2.64 or HTML 5 is. Just that youtube says you need flash etc.
Using a modern IE and Chrome is also a great defense. Firefox has no lowrights mode and is therefore not fully sandboxed even under a standard user account. As much as I prefer firefox as of late I can tell you from experience that those whose email accounts get hacked almost always use that browser. Hairyfeet mentioned this too in his journal with yahoomail sending out spam when browsing porn. Lowrights mode only works in Windows Vista or later so dump XP too if you need to be extra safe with extra kernel level sandboxing, ASLR, and additional DEP.
Chrome is nice in that its flash in Pepper has extra protection as well. I recommend flashblock. I can still watch videos on youtube. I just need to click on it.
Adblock plus gets rid of questionable advertiser networks too that are known to be hacked by Russian mob folks so that ad video for toothpaste may have malware in a buffer overflow.
I personally do not use noscript as this would kill the web. Without javascript it is not useful and a big fucking pain the in ass UAC style to enable for each site. Enabling it makes you vulnerable all over gain. But if you are willing to put up with it it does a lot too.
Of course run an AV product. I know those with a smile say they are proud not to run it but I bet you $$$ 90% are infected and have banking trojans and God knows what else. Avast and Avira do not use hardly any cpu cycles or slow disk. The days of crappy Norton 360 slowing your system down to a 386 level are done mostly.
You're right, there's no silver bullet solution, but Open Source curriculum would at least alleviate a non-trivial part of the "Inadequate funding" problem.
No, OpenSource can not be applied here.
By law educators must teach to the test.
For those outside the teaching field there is a ton of state standards that need to be implemented in the exact way. 8.16 students must show understanding between x and y, 18.17 students must apply knowledge of understand between x and y with geographical tessellation, etc. Now imagine you have +90 to go over in just 3 months!! Also it varies by state.
There is a concept of common core for all standards but that is still in the process of being implemented.
Does the Open Source standard certified by the state to cover each and all +90 objectives for each course and by each grade level? If not then it is a waste of time of time for educators as they must scramble to find the appropriate content. Those state standards are difficult to read too. Yes if you know math you can look at hte problems and understand them, but the textual objectives like above can look like they are written by lawyers.
Sometimes it can be subjective to interpret the appropriate lesson for each of the +90 objectives the teacher must cram in which leaves no room for innovation or going off topic with alternative learning sources.
It can revolutionize teaching if done the right way. You need structure and a learning environment where the students have freedom to pursue as well.
Bare in mind this citation above was in Mexico where there is a ton less presure on teachers to follow through circulumn to ensure test scores. Teaching today folks is very different than when we went to school thanks to No Child Left Behind. Teachers are handed a list of +90 topics to go over in 3 months! So the time to experiment which has proven test results can not happen as the only goal is to raise test scores based on all +90 topics in a very short window to teach it.
But it is possible and technology can help garner research, display data visually (nice aid for students learning graphing), and can apply math and science principles to projects like Lego mindstorm make learning it easier.
So perhaps making a framework then to serve or develop mobile apps to connect people then might be an appeal for women?
Yes it is alot of work but this is where technology is heading now anyway. In linux land some might be proud of working on GUI desktops but seriously the world has moved on far from that after the 1980s and early 1990s.
Shit have you seriously been in a relationship with one before?
I do not say this to make you look bad, but damn is it obvious in that kind of situation. They do not think like we do at all PERIOD. It is now politically incorrect to say this but it is the truth based on real scientific studies.
It does not mean women are inferior or that I am somehow and sexist asshole on the contrary. Womens minds have more neurons and less brain cells. Womens minds use both hemispheres more (with the exception of lesbians which mimic men a little more) and likewise gay men's minds use both hemispheres more as well. Women s verbal and communication are totally different as a result. Not inferior or superior just different.
They are more intuned with the different spots in their brains then men are and can pick stuff up easier. Likewise men are more action oriented in thought and process and goals than communicative and group oriented like women are. This is a fact of neuroscience.
Your gf or wife will pick things up. Notice on why things are the way they are. Use guilt and get you to come to a conclusion with something in an argument rather than just blurt it out like a man does.
Does it mean women can't do math or do computer stuff? NO. It means we are different and look at things in different angles.
Which is pretty much moot in the malware swamp. It's like using insect repellent to scare off alligators instead of going in bare.
With Windows 7 and higher in lowrights mode it is very effective. You can't see or write to disk, can't view or access other processes or threads, everything is a tiny sandbox and even if you get out you have ASLR with scrambled ram so you can't pick a.dll to overflow or insert malicious code, with DEP that is another layer in case you figure out the random ram layout and to even get there you need to bypass lowrights which is stuck in your %appdata.
This not impermeable by any sense of the means but saying it is easy is an understatement and is much much more secure than Firefox which does not use these features. Go read hairyfeets blog on randomly yahoo emails being sent out in Firefox whenever someone views porn? Only happens in firefox regardless of an admin or a standard user.

At least at Neowin.net I gut totally unbiased news about all that is linux and all that is bad from Microsoft. I mean wouldn't you see the appeal?

Unfortunately this is unreasonable to go in there everytime you need to watch a video from a site.
The good news adblock has an IE add-on which blocks most of the bad flash sites from hacked advertisers.
Thank your corporate IT masters for using IE 8.
