And what the hell does that have to do with Windows exploits? Anything can be set up as a phishing server. In fact, it's probably better to use a non-Windows server, because you can spoof the ISAPI.DLL URI with impunity.
Google something like "Apache vs IIS", or "email exploits in Linux" or "open ports in OS X" or "botnets" or "Nimba" or "Code Red". Use what little brains you have.
Your comment reminds me of the scene in "Pirates of Silicon Valley" where Bill Gates is charging though the corridors of Microsoft, pushing a trolley with a prototype Mac on it. He's screaming something like, "I want this! Why don't we have this!?"
Ah, but the subtle difference is that in the US it's referred to as the "9th Grade". That's why the Barenaked Ladies song was so quintessentially Canadian.
I took typing in Grade 9 (yes, I'm from Canada) and we learned on Underwood Upright manual typewriters. I'll never forget our teacher's mantra, "Short, Snappy Strokes". God, my first electric typewriter (and it was only semi-automatic, the carriage return was manual) was such a blessing compared to those upright beasts.
To see what the fuss is about, I downloaded the 'demo' and took a look inside the executable. (No way am I running the damn thing!) There are some really amateurish icons and bitmaps, and the the string table reads like it was written by an emo kid. I'd reproduce some of them here, but fucking slashcode seems to be eating the long strings.
Really, the whole thing looks like it was written by a goofy high-school kid. Since he is displaying the Apple Universal Binary logo on his site, I suspect he's in violation of the logo licence agreement, and I suspect Kagi, his payment processor, won't be too pleased with him, either.
I read in the paper the other day that South Korea has the lowest national birth rate in the world. The rate is 1.0, which puts South Korea on the Children of Men fast track.
World's biggest Microsoft fans/world's worst birth rate? I'm just sayin...
Sounds suspiciously like a Republican. As in "Look Lois, the two symbols of the the Republican Party. An elephant, and a fat, white guy who's afraid of change."
Bootcamp? Good grief! Go download the Crossover Mac beta, and install IE 6 from inside. Crossover does all the work to download and install IE, and even simulates a reboot when finished. Now, just run IE from your desktop.
That's not a bad idea when it comes to software, and you can upgrade existing versions. With hardware, and especially consumer hardware, it doesn't sound so clever. You can't just 'over-write' your Zune with a Zune 2.0. You're just stuck with an expensive paperweight.
And low sales aren't good for Microsoft, either. The whole wifi sharing thing relies on a critical mass of devices out there, otherwise it's useless. Without the wifi sharing the Zune is just a limited, re-badged, Samsung MP3 player.
That's utter crap. OS X 10.4 ran perfectly well on my G3 500Mhz, with 16MB of VRAM. It runs even better on my Dual G4 450 Mhz, with a Radeon 9000 with 128 MB of VRAM. OS X has always looked better than Windows. No painting delays, no shearing, no remnants of other windows left behind on the screen.
Yeah, I saw that in the paper this morning. I'd like to get in on it, but for the life of me, I can't come up with a game idea that has Canadian content. I don't think Donut Wars, Eh? would go over too well.
The reason you had no problems, and the GP couldn't get the printer working is that Windows is fucking unstable! Every single Windows install is unique and the configuration is unrepeatable. Even Microsoft doesn't know how the damn thing works. Why else do you think XP upgrades have a feature that lets you roll back the install to the previous OS? (And let's not even get into the fact that even if you roll back the damn thing you've still paid for it, and you can't get a refund.)
They're admitting that they don't have a good handle on the hardware they allegedly support, even if a previous version of their OS worked!
I don't think it's his fault. He was out of the software business long before Symantec changed it's focus from development tools and utilities to the more lucrative 'security' market. I don't think Peter Norton had any say in the matter.

This has been disproved so many times it's not even funny. you must be a complete fucking idiot to make such a statement.

21 minutes between the story post and the first use of the obvious "Star Wars" quote. I think you just set a new record!

That seems only fair. According to a random sample of spam headers, Outlook Express has sent an average of 100% of the spam I've received.
Sorry, but what would that achieve?
I mean, didn't Clinton get impeached? It didn't seem to have any effect on him, did it?
(BTW, I'm a Canadian, and I don't have an in-depth understanding of the U.S. political system.)
I hate to tell you this, but the franchise peaked with "The City on the Edge of Forever".

Lemme just add 'Foxpro' to the greek chorus.
Oh, and 'Visio'.
'Fess up, you were watching PBS last night, weren't you?

That we feel a fuck of a lot more sorry for a Windows PC than we do for a Mac?

Which is depressing really. After Microsoft, Oracle is the top of my list of companies who'll ship any piece of crap to make a buck.

Yah know, I wish people would call it 'Symantic Anti-Virus'. I always feel a bit sad when I see Peter Norton's name being dragged through the mud.
Safari does exactly that, and it's been doing it for almost 2 years now. The IE rendering of RSS feeds looks almost identical to the Safari rendering.
