Yeah and ORM loads more data than you will need or use in comparison to a properly formed query moved to a separate db layer which has all the benefits of ORM with none of the bloat.
Translation: I've been a for over a year now, and am somewhat satisfied with the . Compared to it is worlds above in both stability and usability. It almost even comes close to for a decent UI. Ooops... here comes that chair!
FUD proliferation. One must spread FUD before Microsoft spreads FUD. Just the other day, Bill Gates himself stated that you cannot make money with GPL'd products (while Redhat and SUSE and IBM and MYSQL and others continually make millions). So while we do ourselves a disservice, the only way to fight FUD is with FUD.
No I do know of 3 people at different companies. People who had a 'monogamous' rather than 'heterogenous' mindset and insisted on buying all Microsoft products merely because they could not adjust to a heterogenous environment. Due to their constant insistence on purchasing or moving to Microsoft products when they were obviously NOT the best solution nor cross platform compatible, these people were removed, end up making poor judgements or ended up pissing off the wrong person and were canned.
Nobody got fired for buying IBM^WMicrosoft" is very much in effect.
I know plenty of people who got fired for buying Microsoft; is it cross platform? can it easily scale without throwing more hardware at it? is it secure? is it stable? These are all reasons why the original addage of why you don't get fired for buying IBM still stands... not so for Microsoft.
But hey... you can play some great games on it. Maybe the addage should be 'Nobody's ADD 15 yr old ever threw a temper tantrum for buying Microsoft'.
Jesus Fuck. Did you not see the mention of metaphor? And the metaphor stopped with comparing the act to creating a child from rape but rewarding the rapist by keeping the child. You people need to get a life and a clue. And see a shrink while you are at it cause it sounds like you have issues that you need worked out if a metaphor gets you this bent.
Nobody expects a metaphor to be an perfect ideological parallel; metaphors are meant to illustrate. Hence upon examination, any metaphor fals apart because the paradigm is not ideologically parallel, only loosely parellel is one sense. And only a moron would assume otherwise.
Rewarding the abuser of a standard being pushed through abuse and bullying by allowing their standard to stand is the equivalent of saying a rapist should be punished but don't abort his baby. Mind you this metaphor is severe but an act of malice and depravity should not be rewarded by raising the spawn of such an act. We should abort this 'standard' before it matures and becomes something more evil.
Every company I have been at that out sources ends up having to spend twice the amount of time on every project outsourced due to communication issues and delays. Whether this is incompetence in who they hired or what the company is trying to get them to do is irrelevant as the 'Dead Sea' effect happens over there as well; IT workers who KNOW they can go a half dozen other places and easily get a job that pays just as much or more will do it (and maybe save some commuting time as well) rather than dealing with irate foreigners who do not know (from their perspective) how to communicate a project spec.
So regardless of out sourcing, the 'Dead Sea' effect will still happen. It's just that if it's local rather than out sourced, you have a greater ability to do damage control and containment; the onsy true benefit you got out of outsourcing was cheap labor and now with a weak dollar, you can no longer justify it unless you have pre-established work centers at those foreign locations.
That wasn't the point. The poster specifically stated that 'proper privilege separation' was too much too handle for hardware at the time. And that's bullshit.
I believe XWindows was available back then to answer your nonsequitor
I call bullshit. Those PC's with that same RAM and CPU run LINUX just fine and it has proper privilege separation. Even Current kernels. Mind you the distros are scaled back quite a bit but even back then they ran Linux just fine too; my wife was an early adopter.
Unhackable? That depends more upon the sys admin. But far less hackable from a default install. Most Linux systems are secure by DEFAULT and you then have to open things up and in Windows it has always been the opposite until recently and even then it is still not as secure.
Alot of pro-Windows people point to Secunia stats but most open source projects (like Linux) are transparent about security flaws so they can be quick to fix them and so the community will be quick to report them. But Microsoft has threatened legal action against security experts who publish findings that they have refused to patch in a MORE than timely manner (6 months or more) and have a track record of not reporting flaws so that it 'LOOKS' like they have fewer. Regardless of even that fact, their flaws always seem to be wore extreme whereas the open source flaws are usually minor.
So to answer your question, not unhackable, just vastly more secure.
Considering the speed at which Microsoft has responded to security ecperts in the past, I expect the former; they most likely will not wish to acknowledge the holes until a major breach occurs at which point they will scramble at the last second to put out a patch that doesn't quite do the trick and is exploited two days later to which they will again have to put out another patch that is again exploited and the eventual remark will be 'this will be fixed in the next service pack update'
I got into a mess like this and had to find my way through the sourceforge documentation on how to contact the administrators. Thats what you have to do. Contact their support or remove all the code and reupload it as 2.0
Think it would be cool if every Slashdot reader listed the open source project they have released along with the Sourceforge, Freshmeat or or repo address. I for one haven't updated my project, PHPulse (a highly scalable lightweight MVC framework for PHP) or about a year even though I have code updates on my machine at home. Get busy helping corporate customers and forget the main project.

And this after buying votes, bullying people and several miscounts and rewriting of the rules. They finally got their way... I mean won by a broad margin.
The particular situation situation isn't scary. As you noticed and eventually agreed with me, the eventual outcome of relying upon an interface to do your administration is not really administration at all. And should that be the eventual eveloution of a monopolized IT economy, what would happen when that interface was comprimised? Scary is it not?
For yrs we have seen MCSE certified 12 yr olds. How come we never see SUN certified or Redhat Certified 12 yr olds? Probaby because you have to know what you are doing rather than just click a button and let Microsoft make decisions for you. This is not that big of a deal nor that surprisisng. He doesn't understand TCP/IP, SSH, how encryption works, anything. He just understands the interface.
And that's the scariest thing. When system administration just comes down to understanding the interface and not having to understand what you are doing or how you are doing it. Should that interface not be able to accomplish the task or freeze you out, you aru paralyzed in your ability to do your job.
Well on Windows, sandboxing of permissions is different. There might still be the exploit but the level of vulnerability would most likely be higher on a Windows system as a result of IE running at a SYSTEM level permission rather than a USER level like in Mac or Linux. Change to a different browser like Firefox on Windows and you will be safer.

No but you can throw chairs at them apparently for using iPods. :)

So start expecting bribes and fallout at the W3C now as well thanks to our 'friends' at Microsoft

You can't attempt to take the high road after you've crawled in the mud. Try again.

Easy. All Office apps open in Open Office and Eclipse has mono plugins. Games? I play Warcraft in Cedega on Ubuntu. Any other questions?

Um... yay. That's Much faster than the five minutes it takes to tweak a config file on Linux. Who do I make a check out to?

This must have changed recently in Vista. Glad to see they learned their lesson.
