People who like it, well like it, the rest well just skip over it, the more you skip over it the further you get from the people who like it and the record company, the fewer times you hear anything weighted by them.
To a distributed datacentre on top of a nicely distributed filesystem. I wouldn't bother releasing a linux *distribution* if I had N thousand machines that I could run Linux desktops on. Run common applications like word processing, accounts, web, basically anything you can run on your machine just now.
Suddenly people can sell dirt cheap little $20 VNC data access devices. Have adverts scroll across the bottom of the desktop when people have logged in.
Vs physical age, so yeah, it's linear with age. IQ of lets say 110 and aged 35 your mental age would be approx 38ish.
HTH.
The problem is implementation rather than design

Start shipping installs secured from the start. Require an admin/install user account for new system wide applications, sandbox user installed software in their home directory/profile. Users then don't trash everything when they fubar their profile or homedir. Windows has all the necessary features to do it, It's had them since the first versions of NT.
Microsoft frankly can't be arsed and there's no profit in a secured system when they can instead continually be selling you upgrades as security fixes.
It isn't rocket science, it's just segregation of responsibility. Unix has been doing it for 30 years. No wait, it must be closer to 35 now.
He'll then do some experiments and draw you a graph of the fawcet settings vs time to fill the frigging tub. I mean come on that's a really weak analogy.
It's a Ralink chipset card. I'm using it at right this second and it's been absolutely great including WPA encryption. Cheap card, runs at 54mbps here.
The web is a newcomer. The internet existed long before that. Usenet, email, gopher, ftp were the applications people were using and yes, distribution of porn was *very* popular.
I mean, how is a reply different from a normal email in such a way that the spammers couldn't just make all of their spam emails appear to be replies?
As you said, you're not a computer engineer, lots of other people are and they haven't come up with a solution yet because it isn't as simple as you seem to think it is.
Capitalism has relatively little to do with politics. Mercantilism on the other hand gets heavily involved in protectionism, government intervention etc.
America and most other Western European societies are really more mercantilistic societies than capitalistic.
Free evening and weekend calls but no extra flat rate charge and only 2p/min for daytime calls and you don't have to buy any special hardware or install software on a PC or anything.
The Windows security model really isn't bad in theory, in fact it's quite nice, I wish the standard Unix filesystem permissions were as flexible. However, the implementation of the permissions on default installs of Windows are absolutely terrible, it's a nightmare really tightening them up to make systems secure and useable.
So, my question... When is microsoft going to tighten up the default configuration of windows and make application vendors stick to good practice?
I'll make a wild guess at never, however until that's done, securing windows desktop systems is going to continue to be near to impossible.
I just want to get from A->B quickly and safely... In fact a better solution than bolting these kludges on to existing technologies would be to take the next step entirely...
Stick a CD/floppy in the thing, switch it on and boot from the network, assuming it doesn't support network booting already. tada. X terminal. Who gives a toss about support as long as X works and it can reach a network.
Stick half (less in fact... 1/5 to 1/10th usually) the number of the $300 Dell machines in racks in the machine room, run grid engine and tada... utility computing. want more power? buy more $300 boxes. (actually less than that cost you don't need monitors, mice or keyboards)
You want seriously cheap but highly scalable computing? This is the way to do it...

It's a business that's being run... There's a cut off point between the amount of effort being put in and the reward for that effort.
By restricting the sharing of information and data, the maximum profit potential can be extracted from it.
Just choose another carrier.

Same old phone, line and number but all your calls go via another carrier who do all the hard work for you.
e.g. Justdial.

As it becomes scarce, the price will increase and people will start using something cheaper instead.

It wasn't funny last time I heard that one either...
other than that I don't think I'd bother. a couple of minutes here or there hardly matters.
It'd be nice if they were aware of each other.
