More likely is that it was short-term thinking
management that got an offer from MS they couldn't
refuse. MS would do that (and lose money on it)
*just* for the marketing smoke and mirrors.
Better yet, don't even have a land-line phone.
Well, maybe if you can't get broadband. Even
then, if you're not dialed up, turn off the ringer.
Last I heard, it was still legal to not
answer the phone!
Well, Rush should know that the real cause is the Hot Air that is contained inside
buildings during weekdays. You would think
he would notice that during his shows.
It doesn't need to be 'cracked'. The 'fix'
can be in, and later if discovered by the
opposition, they (the fixers) can claim
ignorance and say 'Well, maybe it was cracked, but
it's too late now'.
The point here is that having a voting system
that can't be trusted leads to this possibility.
Though I have no love for the Chinese government it only makes sense for a nation to make their economy benefits from technology by creating jobs for its citizens and not be bled dry feeding another nation's workers.
You understand. Most don't.
We are halfway into the battle.
We need IBM, Redhat, SuSe, and others
to keep it from going underground.
But, if it has to, it will, and it will survive.
Free software == Freedom
Going slightly off-topic here...
It seems to me that Microsoft is a *huge* drag on
the overall economy these days.
And it's not just due to the network background noise, but putting up with all of the Microsoft holes
that can be exploited over the net.
Maybe the Department of Homeland Security
should sue them.;-)
But, when the sender wants to encrypt, you
encrypt to the *recipients* public key.
I really don't see what this will accomplish
other that signing unless the recipient already
has a public key.
Wrong. Windows is hit more because of the exploits
that target naive users (see Lookout) and/or the holes
that Microsoft left in their software because of
lack of testing/QA. They get
in *through* the firewall, whereas most Web servers
are in a DMZ (if that) and are quite visable targets from
the Internet at large. Apples, Oranges.

Page? Rumour has it the entire backing store failed.
I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it is believed that copious amounts exist in Redmond and at the USPTO.

You've used the word 'too' too many times.
Only two times was it used properly.
The other TEN times it should have been 'to'.
Why was this Funny? Seems to be quite insightful. Ultimately, there are keepers of root (or other important) passwords or PGP keys for example.
I'm still working on

Hey, quit calling my buddy Bill a two-bit sleazoid!
Gag. It's fsckin Clippy in drag!

It's *NOT* funny. When compilers are outlawed, only outlaws will have compilers.

Obviously smoking the same stuff as SCO.

I suspect Microsoft is behind this mess. I wouldn't surprise me in the least. Microsoft has the cash, and Verisign probably can use it.
The ultimate self-induced slashdot-ing is in effect.

Diebold won't have to worry then.
Of course not. They're too busy washing their Pet Rocks.
So, when are you getting your new computer?
scientists report that SCO verbal FUD apparently does not obey the laws of physics.
