The problem isnt' windows. The problem are broken machines on a network. MS released a patch and it never got populated as much as it should. MS doesn't edcuate users on turnning on/off certain things.
But you know what? For every reason these things should be turned off, it's turned on.
And does finger pointing solve anything? No. Did pointing fingers get most everyone to stop using telnet vs ssh? Did it stop people from sending sensitive data over non-ssl connections? No. Did it stop people from running daemons as root? No.
It was proof of concept and people learning. All finger pointing does is make you seem like a colosal jerk. Either propose a solution, help someone out, or become your goddamn mime.
3 points - peripheral vision - by your reasoning, you can't look at the left side and right side of your monitor at once, right? - turning your head is quicker than point and click.
And block attachments that are prone to viruses for the love of God. pdf, yeah, it can get a virus due to acrobat.. but that's usually less broken than say, word and it's macro viruses, or microsoft lookout and it's vulnerabilities. So you'd at least filter all the extensions for attachments that aren't safe..
Do realize, that ports has done this for a long time. Only diff beween ports and portage are the command structure, some layout and the systems that they originated for.
The cool thing about ports in relation to freebsd, and prolyl the other bsd's.. is that they integrate with the package systems used. SO if you want, you can download the tbz (vs tgz) package or use/usr/ports.
Yeah, but there are irritants to postgres as well.
No source code packages. You can't create a library, like you would in oracle.
When you have an sql error, it tells you the char it occured at, and not much more. Quite annoying if oyu miss a , in a multiline query and have to paste it back.
You can't network two instances so to speak. You can't say.. "select * from slashdot.messages, freshmeat.list where..." Bloody useful for running remote queries over a dedicated line, w/o dump-replicationg stuff.
Not easy to see, verbatim, what queries are running. Well, nothing i've seen so far.:\
But you know what, I use it, and I like it. 'cuz it doesn't require a java installer and it is simple. But it doesn't hold a light to oracle in some ways:)
Well, why not kill the MX for your normal domain and simply use a subdomain for a while (maybe, me.mydomain.com vs mydomain.com. At least then, all bounces won't resolve, and you can have your domain back.
Big problem though. People assume, how you do things in school is verbatim, the exact way you do things in the real world.
You get people trying to create applications without someone hovering over them to say, "This is why you use title case" or "This is why you make code neat." Not to make it more readable to just yourself, but to everyone maintaining it.
You have people trying to use straight science vs engineering. You get over-normalization and unscalable systems. They look pretty, but they aren't done in a real world sitation.
It's the same difference between chemisty and chemical engineering. Making a bottle of ink is easy. Making vats in mass production.. takes a little more thinking:)

By the same logic, you could argue that you can't ever sell a dvd player because everyone has vcrs. And people do by some vcr's still.
Truth is, dvd players are better, hands down. Do you not think it's possible that the GC might make a comeback, regardless?

Can you look at more than 1 at any given glance?
ICANN, backbone.. there's a pun in there somewhere :(
Erf.. meant 2mil(1 * 4). Troll on me now for making a mistake ;P
Yup.. so if your units of measurement were in the millions, 1mil * 4mil = 4mil. 1(2mil) * 4(2mil) = 4(2mil).
:P
Glad you know your math.
Heh, too bad your line of thinking couldn't work with Microsoft Bob.
then you are an exception to the rule, eh?
Until you use your cc to buy something who sells your data to someone.

It's like millions of cams were used at once, and then suddenly silenced... by slashdot.
And THAT is one to grow on.
'cause we all know binary files and gui interfaces are the way to go, said the windows registry lover :)

Ug, i misspoke. I mean like packages for functions. So i can create say, a user package that does all manips on users in pgsql/psql.
There is no char mode install atm. Right now, i had to install X and all this crap, to install the client. Then remove X and what not.
I'd rather not have to go through THAT much trouble. postgresql.conf is short and sweet.
Yeah, but there are irritants to postgres as well.

Bastard! :) stop tracking me.
Fine, use your broadcast instead :)
Fine. route your mx to 127.0.0.1 ;)
For a small domain of 10 users, they'll live. It's better than getting NO mail, which is what things like spews and the likes end up blocking.
What's your domain? I'd like to look at your dns entries.
Well, why not kill the MX for your normal domain and simply use a subdomain for a while (maybe, me.mydomain.com vs mydomain.com. At least then, all bounces won't resolve, and you can have your domain back.
