Whenever I get a security bulletin from M$ and see how big of a problem it is, and how they make it seem so small, "..blah blah blah may permit unauthorized web users to perform priveliged actions.", but they really wanted to say "Using this exploit any web user can run any program on your computer, and smart web users can use it to download your entire database."
Also, if these are the security issues they inform the public about, what about the issues they *don't* tell us?
Yeah, I know. Lets say that someone did it on one of our client's (I worked as a consultant developing ASP) web sites. I'm just glad it was only a script kiddie, otherwise they could have done some serious damage.
My favorite thing about M$ SP's have to deal with Site/Commerce Server. There is a document that explains how to, and in which order, to apply patches and install software. Lets just say that when I did it last, I rebooted my computer over 15 times and installed SP3, 4, 6. And no, you can't just install 6 because some of the stuff you install inbetween 3 and 4, 4 and 6 need the "features" that get removed with the later SP.
I have great empathy for NT sys admins...
I remember playing Hexen and so long as I didn't have to use "no clipping" or anything to activate or collect any puzzle pieces, I didn't consider it cheating. I wasn't, and still am not, a very good gamer, but I had fun.... I can't even really remember the ending. ^^;;
That sounds a bit silly... Just because there isn't air to make sound, doesn't mean you can't compare an objects speed to what the speed of sound would be if there were air.

The only reason people like windows (Yes,seven out of ten people I talk to think windows is great) is that it functions the same every where it runs. Most people don't want to learn every option on every application and every platform. Trust me i have experience with computer novices.They want consistency.
Till we realise this and look at it from a consumer point of view I don't see unix or linux on every desktop in the world.
Yes, but it doesn't have to run on every desktop. I would be happy if when I went in to buy a computer they asked, "Do you want Linux, blah, bleh, or Blink OS on it?"

Um... The cartoon is a Bugs Bunny cartoon from the 1950s. He was being facetious. Chill ;)
