An MSI is not simply an archive file, it is a relational database. And the engine (msiexec.exe) is already built "into" the OS. It runs as a service and watches for requests.
This begs the question....

Can you imagine a Beowulf cluster of these? Talk about a nightmare...
An Evans Data survey published in November 2001 found that 48.1% of international developers and 39.6% of North Americans plan to target most of their applications to GNU/Linux. In October 2002, they found that 59% of developers expect to write Linux applications in the next year.
Waiting for Linux apps...tapping foot....still waiting....

I often here friends and collegues disgusted by the Internet, or simply bored by it. There's nothing to do on it they claim except play some games, check a few popular web sites, instant message, etc. I always claim to them that the Internet still finds a tremendous use in the research community, stories like this confirm my findings. The Internet is only as limited as your imagination I guess. If you have an interest in anything academic, the Internet can certainly help you stray abreast of the major topics and discussions in a timely matter.
I am aware of what the NSA considers to be a secure network, but, honestly, who has read that stuff?
That's like saying you know someone has solved a very hard math problem that you need solved, but that you don't have time to find out how they did it. Why don't you read the literature not only from the NSA, but from the other various institutions that dedicate tremendous resources into investigating the problems you are trying to solve. It makes a lot more sense to do your research there rather than asking laypersons for their haphazard advice.
Would GM put up with Ford naming a new truck a Firebird?
"It's a truck, not a car", Ford could say.
To most everyone out there, a database and a browser aren't that much different, they are both just "computer programs." While a mechanic could probably say a car and truck are vastly different doesn't mean that's how everyone sees it.
And I've spent most of the last week responding to people who read about this on Slashdot and call me a spammer, a terrorist, and a sucker of moose balls.
Schneir is actually releasing a followup to AC centered around actually using crypto in everyday applications.
He mentioned it in this month Cryptogram.
In case you hadn't noticed, the Slashdot story you just posted about your comment to is a review of that book.
On a theological scale I like to think of the ends of the movie MIB and MIB II. Where they open the locker and find that the entire world we know is really some small spec of dust in a much larger world. It's all in the perspective.
Woah, dude, that's like so deep. You should be a philosophy major and bring up those points in your 101 class, now *that* would be original.
I was practically in tears just reading this article; a pity really. I'm very glad someone has read Fussell other than myself here, as I'm a day late to comment on this matter.
For those not aware, Fussell's book "Class" has an entire page or two dedicated to this very discussion on job titles. Sadly, these system administrators are a sinking victim of prole drift. It's a shame really, they think they're upping themselves, but in reality, it is just the opposite.
Well boo-hoo for you. Google (which you no doubt have never paid a penny to) has not given you a bill of rights. You should be thankful they even let you search for free, as they could definitely charge for such a useful service.
It sounds like whoever wrote this review just got done with Philosphy 100 at the local community college and is eager to show off his/her stunning analytical abilities by bringing up every single fallacy mentioned in the class. It probably gave him or her a sense of accomplishment or something.
Can someone who knows or has access to knowing how much in general universities are charged for their internet connections, please chime in. I'm guessing it is per MB per month or something like that, which means that allowing P2P sharing DIRECTLY increases costs for the university's internet connection, probably drastically. What are they supposed to do, watch tens of thousands of dollars a month get washed away so students can download movies?

Surely there are adacemic researchers out there probing the frontier of human-computer interaction that could use Linux as the basis for their work?
Just like Porsche uses stone wheels for the basis of their work.
Could we for once view science as the continuous stretch of micro-advances that it really is?
I thought Kuhn put that silly idea to rest awhile ago?
because they have removable keyboards to make them lighter to carry around. how will you type if you don't have a keyboard?

Probably professionals who weren't picked to be the "security guy" by a game of spin the bottle at the last office meeting.

I don't think I am the only one spending evenings and weekends playing around with yet another IDS.
Think again!
isn't the whole point of a blog to give the world a small peek at what you're doing?
No, the point is to trick yourself into thinking that the world actually cares what you're doing.
ah ok, i didn't read it that way. that makes sense though. my bad.

However, many analysts believe a successfully Google IPO could rejuvenated Internet-company investments.
There are more grammatical disagreements in that sentence than I've had good days!

I should be safe. I never mention case mods, jury-rigged mp3 players, or linux wrist-watches.
