I agree completely...I am an Exchange admin, make 40+ dollars per hour, drive home to my nice townhouse in my new Landrover (Discovery SE II). They unix dorks around here go to their little one room apartments in their nasty-ass rusted little riceburner cars. Maybe out in California or something the scale is different, but not here.
If I was a MS exec, I would head to Mexico City for the hookers...Ahhh...Zona Rosa is where it's at down there. Black Angus steakhouse, then a few hours at Tittaniums. If you have not been to Mexico City, go there. Now.
Point is, what you want in your house is meaningless to MS. Think home users are MS's biggest cash cow? Ya, right. It's buisness accounts that bring home the bacon, and buisness will go gaa-gaa for a viable platform like.net. I'm not saying.net is gonna be great, but with MS Marketing, be ready to have.net at work shortly.
What some punk-ass linux user wants to or doesnt want to use is irrelevant...Management will see *nix stability with MS software. Drooling will abound.
but on a massive scale. If it can filter and analyze traffic, I am POSITIVE it will somehow result in more spam from marketers who are watching us in a central, gods-eye way, or I'll get bitchslapped by The Man, who noticed that 99% of my surfing is in regards to pr0n and mp3z.
Why is it always assumed slavery was the cause of the civil war? The Confederates thought they were fighting for states rights to govern themselves, not just slavery. Since they had an agriculture base, but no manufacturing, they were sorta doomed from the get-go. Glad they lost..I am a Catholic son of immigrants from a slavic country. Not a winning combo in many southerners opinion...
Marlboro Ultra-lites....I own several guns (if you have never been shooting, you don't know what your missing). I don't advocate shooting sprees or murder. Or pulling a Branch Davidians. I believe in respecting the law, unless it is morally unconcienable. Then, you take up arms. We are not there, and in all reality, don't look like we (America) are heading there.
I agree...We now live in McAmerica-just do it! People like to blame big buisness, but it's us, the cow-like masses, that are to blame. It's said a million times, but it bears saying again: Vote with your dollar. If we didnt buy nike/starbucks/whatever, they wouldn't be big buisness....Oh well. I am going to OutBack steakhouse in my Chevy Tahoe, sipping my Starbucks Coffee (it is pretty damned good), listening to my Sony CD player, wearing my Polo clothes, going from my job at Hewlett Packard. Probably find a dozen or more big name that affected some aspect of my life in the past 30 mins, but I'm hungry...
Historically, rebels and whatnot tend to be AGAINST slavery and taking away rights, but you are right, it is no sure thing. If you are armed, you can take a stand against them. If you are not, you can sing hippy peace songs and hope you are treated well in labor camp or whatever...Gee, why didn't the germans just vote hitler out of office?
Because germans didn't have gun shows. Several small resistance groups in germany did. Wy do we never hear about them? Because the gestapo was an VERY effiecient and effectice police force. Most of the resistance (tended to be bavarian roman-catholics, dunno why), ended up in concentration camps. Does the fact that resistance did not work make it wrong? No, just means you need more people with more firearms.
America is now the most heavily armed populace in the world (firearms per capita). But we don't have the highest murder rate in the world (murders per capita). That honor goes to South Africa, with its official ANC ban on personal firearm ownership. Fancy that! Next highest is Colombia, with its friendly drug war/marxist guerrila war going on....
An armed populace is the ONLY way to be certain that your government won't take too many freedoms. I am all for plastic explosives and cocaine. Just don't hurt anyone else while using/blowing things up. You seem to be the sort of reactionary liberal who will only be happy when the government controls every aspect of your life. Learn to think and fend for yourself, don't be a sop to goverments.
some people are...The UK has banned firearm ownership, requires you to provide crypto keys to 'the authorities', and a host of other issues where the parliment tramples on personal freedoms. One good bit of news does not change the brits horrible track record...
OTOH, if software is not patentable, what does this do for reverse engineering? Will the limeys be the first with OpenWin2k or some such stuff?
that the current linux-ese buisness model of selling support for free software is not going to work. Make fun of MS all you want, but they have 27billion in cash reserves and a very orthodox buisness strategy. Shrug.
NT/2k is really pretty secure if dumbass admins would apply service packs and hotfixs. And shutdown uneeded services. And employ IP security. But most dumbasses assume NT/2k does it all for them because it has a neat-o gui. No different then securing a *nix host, when you get down to it...But most people would rather just whine. How secure is redhat, or most distros, out the box?
while the new lone gunman will fail. We will all watch ST, even if it degrades to a fat old guy sitting in a refrigerator box saying 'raise shields'. Lone gunman, on the other hand, will fail, just like the Einis spinoff from Dukes of Hazzard.
I know that there are some virii/worms/whatever nthat infect *nix systems...The DNS worm of the late 80's comes to mind. But why are there so many more 'virii' that infect windows systems? Is it easier to develop them? Is it a security thing? Is it that most l337 d00dz are anti-windows, hence, windows virii? Just wondering...

You can't do that with windows? Fucking dumbass...2kserver does it all, but since your head is in your ass, I guess it's hard to see that

SQL 2000 didn't go gold for quite a few months after 2k came out...
fucking dumbass. SCSI controller drivers, maybe? Set up a sql box with no drivers whatsoever...tell me how well it runs, you dork.
Taoism I belive. So don't the several hundred million chinese who are toaist qualify?
