Sure, windows has a lot of security issues. On the other hand, *nix has plenty too. You could come up with a long list of *nix vulnerabilities, if you so desired. It's rash to say just because it's windows means it's going to get hacked.
...It's a DEVELOPMENT kernel, most people shouldnt even use it. Make a linux section or something to post these in, they don't need to be on the main page.
It would be nice if an OS would take sendmail out of their default install and try something else more secure and with better config files, such as postfix. For an OS all about "security," you'd think they'd get rid of sendmail. Maybe we can look forward to this in 3.2?
Couldn't an asteroid impact into mars shoot out debris and possibly bacteria, on that debris. The earth has been hit by many an asteroid, although not as evident due to weathering. Perhaps some of the bacteria currently around was shipped here through Fed-Asteroid-Ex. Of course, I could be wrong, because bacteria might not be able to survive something like this, but if it could attach to a shuttle and be carried back to earth, then I don't see why the previous wouldn't be possible.
Consider yourself blessed, you can now just sue companies that dont hire you and blame them for discriminating against you for having bad eyesight, then get a 5 million dollar settlement check from microsoft. Crazier things have happened in matters like that. Everyone is a victim nowadays, evidently.
It's rather wise to stop contributions from minors, since that person could submit harmful code or something to that effect, and probably not be legally punishable, I'm not sure on that but it makes sense. Also, I wonder even if his parents signed off on it if he could submit code then, that sounds like a reasonable thing. Oh well, he'll turn 18 eventually, he'll probably not want to work with apple then though.
...the whole idea of survival of the fittest is dead. I don't see where they get off killing all of those rodents in order to protect a couple of rare birds. If the birds cant survive thats their problem. Damn meddling humans, and that dog. Oh well, just my 2 cents.
I was watching the Discovery channel the other day and I saw a peice on asteroids and how little the government gives them ($1 million from the NASA budget) to help track the many floating around space. Alot that, if they hit earth, would cause a global catastrophy, even the end of mankind. Sure, military forces is a good cause for funding, but I, for one, would like to see more money spent in causes like that, as opposed to bending light and creating armor.
Excuse me for not caring enough about slashdot to have it send me useless emails that would clutter up my already filled inbox. Also, pardon me for trying to set the record straight for someone who obviously didnt have the capability to comprehend a comment on their own.
Dude, you sure are on slashdot alot. Are you one of those guys that hits refresh on his user page to see if his comment got any replies, 500 times a day? But anyways, I never said 1.6 was out or that anyone did.
Ok, i'll try to break this down for you, so your tiny little brain can comprehend, ok? First, slashdot put on the front page that FreeBSD 4.5 was out, WHEN IT WASNT. That was about a month ago. Then in THIS VERY ARTICLE, the guy that submitted the article said: "Note that although the title of the page says it's a list of changes from NetBSD 1.5 to 1.6, NetBSD 1.6 is not out yet--the page lists changes that will be in 1.6 whenever it's released." Then I posted that it was a good job that (s)he clarified that so slashdot authors don't get confused. I hope you understand and I didn't confuse you with any big words like "the" and "that". Yeah, thanks for the random stupidity, as well.
I was referring to the FACT that 1.6 IS NOT out. Which is like when slashdot posted FreeBSD 4.5 _was_ out, when it wasnt. I know how difficult the english language is, but please try to understand the grouping of words as sentences is a simple concept, i'm sure thats difficult for you.
Good job...

making sure to notify slashdot that just because there are lists of changes on a web site IT ISNT OUT, because frankly we've already gone through fake posts like that before. They expect money by subscriptions yet they cant even check story authenticy. Disturbing.
have a document like the Constitution where we can abolish the management if it tries to take out our fundamental rights to get non-buggy software? Cause, I'm available as an asassin if necessary.;)
$1 a Mhz isn't that great, I mean when you get up to a 200Mhz laptop they run around $200-$250 on ebay(last I checked) and you could get a desktop computer three times that fast and a lot newer for around the same price, I saw a 700Mhz PC over at TigerDirect for only $300. Sure, you pay for portability and size, but look in the sales ads, new laptops compared to new PCs around the same speed(in the GHz) isnt that widely varied. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think a p200 laptop should cost $250.
Now all they need is Metal Gear Solid and Grand Theft Auto, then Playstation won't have much of a crowd. By the way, I'm still waiting for Mario Sunshine; Luigi's Mansion was cool, but it doesnt have any replay value, at all.
Make perl look like java? Wouldn't that be kind of difficult with the whole #!/usr/bin/perl thing, and all of the variables prefixing with '$', i'm not an expert on java but I dont think they do that. Of course, i'm sure someone will think of some way.
I wonder if babel would do a good job (i.e. readable) of translating whole pages at a time for this, which would make it rather easy to translate into numerous languages.
Really nice looking. Appears kind of elaborate to get into though, as far as I can tell from the photos. I especially like the logos on the side. Too bad it'll be slashdotted soon with the amount of images on the page.
Hrm, you don't normally suspect Showtime to be airing a sci-fi series. Guess they're trying to get lucky and pull off what HBO did with The Sopranos. Also, "jeremiah" is an awfully odd name for someone nowadays (i didnt see anywhere it said it was based in the past), doesn't seem very catchy either.

my MP3-player/PDA/Cell Phone/Oven/Microwave/Refrigerator/Gaming Console/Toothbrush/All-in-one Knife/Machine Gun, that fits in the palm of my hand.

On a horrible scale of 1 - 10 for sleazy business practices, I rate this a 9.
Almost as horrible as stealing Intellectual Property from musicians?

they could start putting ads in all the programs and require you to subscribe to remove 1/100th of the ads.

Yeah, however, alot of people just go by Jeremy or Jereme, whichever way you like to spell it.
Something to do, something to brag about, something to get you on slashdot's front page... We'll never know.
