He just assumes that since the test gave the result that he expected, then the test must have been perfectly executed.
Where did I say that?
I said I was tired of people blaming the hardware, then blaming the people running the hardware, because they think the test is wrong. How could the test be UNFAIR if both NT and Linux used the same hardware. Luck maybe? I think not!
it sounds like many of the problems could have been related to whatever hardware they picked.
Damm! That sure is a tired old line.
Windows NT works great but some people run it on crappy hardware. and the next one they try is It's not NT! It's the Admin that can't cut it! Get a qualified person to run NT.
The newest one they use is that NT is more SECURE cause it's closed. Nice try Guys!
Stop picking on Microsoft! Stop being mean to Bill and Steve. Stop being so mean to that poor 500 billion dollar corporation! WHAAAAAAAAAA Bwhaaaaaaaaaa (girgle) Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa Waaaaaaaaaaaaa (sniff) WAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Junkbuster allows you to edit the cookies you send back to certain domains. I like to put the "EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE". You can put a well worded letter about what they can do with there database.
OK Rob, I don't want to say I told ya so, but... Cookies are they way people track you regardless of the morals behind it. When Mozilla happens we will have individual cookie control. Until then turn your cookies on and set your cookie file to read only. Then I'll need a button (on Mozilla) to set all security funtions for each web site I hit.
Sure, if you're the kind of person who needs cheap validation from others to help make all your decisions for you, even when you know deep down that the results are rigged -- I'm sure it must be wonderful. Party on, homes. Baaaaaa.
Are you talking about a poll or a Microsoft benchmark?

If the Microsoft security challenge was meant as a publicity stunt, it may have backfired. As soon as the site went online, Microsoft ran into technical difficulties with the test server. Early visitors reported problems with the home page's HTML and JavaScript -- some serious enough to prevent them from accessing the page at all. Posted status logs indicate that the server had to be rebooted at least once because the system log was full, and some services were unavailable at reboot. Most significantly, the server has been repeatedly forced offline. The site was only intermittently available Tuesday and went down for approximately 8 hours Wednesday. Web service was restarted at least once Wednesday evening, and the server was rebooted after a reconfiguration on Thursday morning. Access continues to be intermittent, and the site was unavailable at press time. Microsoft has offered conflicting reports as to the source of their problems. A Microsoft spokesperson attributed the difficulties Tuesday and Wednesday to router failures and thunderstorms in Seattle, while the site's status log blames the Wednesday crash on a "known bug". Microsoft was unavailable for further comment at press time.
...from the OpenBSD website FAQ (OpenBSD is generally regarded to be the most secure OS).
OpenBSD is thought of by many security professionals to be the most secure UNIX-like operating system as the result of a 10-member 1.5-year long comprehensive source code security audit.
The real book you should have reviewed was 2010. I know... I know... a sequel. Contrary to what some are saying about Clarke some his sequels are better than the original. But Childhood's End is just a short story.
Try "The City and the Stars" or "Rendezvous With Rama", that was some great storytelling. He also just wrote one called "The Trigger" that looks interesting.
I think maybe a lot of people who read Sci-Fi expect to read a book version of a Sci-Fi movie (ugh), complete with explosions. Hint:Good Sci-Fi is not about happy endings like "Independence Day"! It's all about Ideas!
In Europe, country wide radio stations very popular and the automatic switch over is really helpful when driving distances longer than, say 40 miles.
OH MY GOD that we don't need. We have too few good real radio stations now with out them buying up good radio stations to make networks. Jxsxs Fxckxng Chrxst! is there anything these people will not do to force us to hear their god forsaken commercials. I tell people I don't need mp3s or cds because I listen to the radio but now they will ruin that.
Most people can not name another chip maker other than Intel. Market share is made by marketing in this case. Intel=Kleenix
Bull... If that where the case then no one would buy AMD at all. Go look on those shopping channels. They cater to non-techies and they usually sell both AMD systems and Intel systems. They just don't tell you it's another companies processor, cause they don't care.
I draw a line between my various computers. Each one serves a purpose. I do most of my writing on an an IBM PS/2 Model 30. That's an 8086 with 640K of RAM and a 20MB hard drive.
God I love that IBM hardware. That PS/2 keyboard is my favorite. I have a whole Microchannel 486 server to set up with Linux one day. IBM sure can build solid stuff! Even though they last longer than they should in the computer industry.
Ya know... I heard one time, that the service, work and products a company makes actually effects the stock price, and NOT the other way around! Really.... I'm serious. My friend told me.
These knuckleheads in the stock market actually think this way. Red Hat (Marc and Bob) are doing great because they are now worth billions. Sorry but they are just worth billions because some people are greedy. Last year they didn't even brake even! (neither did most "dot coms" so what!) Red Hat is doing great because they understand Free software and a market that could take advantage of it.
As a matter of fact the morons think that a company with the symbol PERL is the company responsible for the perl language. The good thing is that many greedy traders will fund some great software in the next year.
How does quake2 get 65fps when my monitor refresh rate is set to 60? Explain that.
Most video cards and monitors refresh higher. 3dfx Voodoo 2 cards support four refresh rates: 60, 75, 85, and 120Hz. You then set to the highest refresh rate you can.

*Sigh* That sounds so much more fun than being a programmer! I guess we can only hope.
Isn't the route that many companies are taking, to collect a "warchest" of patents, to be used to barter for infrigments that may be made in the future?
Is this something that could be done for all GNU software? Is this something that we *should* be doing? To say nothing about the *BSD peoples concerns.
A few years ago Pentium 90's with 16 MB of RAM were cutting edge! Pretend they still are. (Of course no one could learn anything on a P90!)
academics is more important than athletics
I doubt anyone says that. Most likely they say just the opposite, mostly they say it is just as important. They would be right.
So get your ass in gear get a network set up. Start something. You get the ball rolling. Don't just sit there and complain. Show up to a school board meeting let your ideas be heard by the right people!
How is complaining about this being a sheep? I guess making a big stink is a wrong as you posting obsessively on this topic. Name one good reason (for the consumer) to have a ID number in a CPU. How is AMD and Motorolla getting along without this feature?

There are other alternatives, like space, which are less feasable, but the reality is that there are safe places for this stuff.
Do we have to rehash the Space:1999 disaster!
