Windows 9x was never intended to be secure... it's a wide-open home user OS... don't feel like logging on? Just hit the cancel button at the logon screen.
If you're going to discuss Windows security, for god's sake at least do it with a version of Windows designed to be at least somewhat secure (2003, XP, 2000, or even NT).
You are correct, sir. If you view the Google cached version of a page, it explicity tells you at the top of the page if a term only appeared in a page linking to this one.
The "unique id" you refer to is called a SID. Have you been using sysprep? It's a Microsoft utility specifically designed to remove machine-specific information (SIDs, profiles, etc) before ghosting.
> upgrade to a more secure operating system.
If you mean Linux, I assume you somehow are going to fund training all the students how to use it, along with getting all of the school's faculty and staff to support it, along with providing for Linux patch management efforts.
Yeah, right. Back to the real world we go...
What's wrong with the current titles? I mean, if someone tells me they're a network administrator, I have a pretty good idea. If they say they're an e-mail administrator, likewise.
Why replace useful titles with some generic contrived name?
> shutting you down is a violation of your free speech rights
No, not it's not. As posted in many businesses, "we reserve the right to refuse to serve any customer". A company cannot violate your free speech rights. Your free speech rights can only be violated by the government, if they choose to use a law that abridges such rights. A company deciding they don't want you as a customer is not a violation of rights.
It's stupid arguments like this that water down legitimate first-ammendment violations...
I work for a corporation with about 48,000 employees in the U.S. I'm at their R&D Facility, which has about 525 people in our building. There's 15 of us in the IT group. That includes desktop support, web development, network design/engineering, and includes one manager, one supervisor, and one secret^H^H^H administrative assistant.

Since Moore's law is about processing power (not the % of people using a technology) I don't think it as any relevance here.
I'd be wary of shoe advice from a guy whose username is legless...

Is clicking the checkbox to disable the Auto Update feature too difficult?
Perhaps you've heard of a company called Cisco, they make a thing called a Pix, which is probably the most popular hardware firewall product.

Putting stuff like this into the "Your rights" category dilutes issues that actually have to do with rights...
Rights are things like free speech, bearing arms, and freedom from false imprisonment.
Having to use a web form instead of an e-mail address is NOT a violation of your rights.

Don't you mean humour?
I wouldn't call a Service Pack for one of the most popular operating systems just "every patch". Service Packs come out about once a year.
And if you really want to talk about relevance, I'll guarantee you there's far more Win 2000 boxes out there than any of the Free OSes...
Not to be TOO anal, but at least if you're going to quote SNL, do it correctly.

Is that there's a bunch of duplicate stories, and people can't tell if it's April Fools, or just business as usual...
April Fool's or not, this may be a record for a duplicate... the previous story was a whole THREE entries below this one on the homepage...
Because this is Slashdot, where every article must somehow involve a violation of rights by the big bad government.
How long until Amazon finds a way to patent domain registrations?
This works if you assume that a "new" or "different" song isn't likely to be a hit.

What exactly is the pronounciation? Is it something like "ka-ching gal"? :)
At first I thought this was some question about Microsoft Operations Manager running on Linux.
That would have been much more interesting to me, at least at this MS-centric company I work for...
Given that Mandrake has been begging for money I don't think this really should surprise anyone.
O'Reilly's Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference does an excellent job of describing which browsers support various functions and each HTML tag.
