what part of the windows API is closed again? Oh wait.. the UNPUBLISHED ONE. The one you aren't supposed to used because they may not work on a newer operating system. These companies they hack kernel32.dll and call unpublished routines then they wonder why it doesn't work on a newer operating system
which big hosting providers would that be? Are they unable to lock down their own pcs? If you're a hosting provider, you lock yourself out of IIS for one of two reasons. Price too high or your customers don't need it. There are many solutions that need IIS to run on, and from what I've seen, the hosting prices for windows web solutions (iis,asp.net,asp,sql server etc) are much high sometimes even double the price of the unix equivalents
yes but unless your clients install their root certs they will still get the pop cert warning. Installing their root cert as trusted also compromises you since you have no idea what kind of unscrupulos people they are giving certs to. The trust is not in the certificate, but who is signing the certificate. If I trust verisign, then I trust anyone verisign trusts. Do you trust anyone startcom.org trusts?
Anyone can make a certificate, hell you can make one yourself. The whole point of a issuing certificates is about delegating trust. Verisign, Thawte, etc are trusted. Some company that gives it out for free without any sort of checking is not.
A small company can seek and win damages in the hundreds of millions if their invention is stolen. Your way leaves them with no legal recourse if that happens. It's like you are saying, rape victims don't want to testify so lets not make rape illegal. Victims who want to testify still have the legal option available to them, just like small companies that have the money should have the option.
is my idea not my property? Banning software patents cuts both ways. It erases any built up patents large companies have amassed but it also strips any independent or small developer from the protection he needs when he implements his idea or algorithm.
any one who has programmed on windows know you can put anything in tabs, dialog boxes or propertysheets, hell there was even a tab common control long before tabbed browsing became even popular. No one invented it, tabs were there and were used that is all. This would fit into another one of those stupid software patents the patent office keeps giving out like candy.
I watched all of TNG, DS9 and All over Voyager, yes Voyager 7 full seasons and never only watched a handful of ST:E episodes. If a show sucks then it sucks, nothing to do with bittorrent. However the only reason I watched a handful of ST:E was because I cancelled my cable, yet I never bothered to download even one ST:E episode because of lack of interest.
I'm not sure what happened but startrek is not drama, it is sci-fi. Somehow this got lost during the brainstorming of enterprise. I'll watch an hour of the borg, even the crappy ones in voyager but I won't last 15mins into the episode on who T-Pol sleeps with next.
More sci-fi, less drama. More psychobabbling nonsense about spacetime continuums and prime directives, that is what will get the fans back.
if it was how come nobody heard of it until now. Everyone knows adaware, everyone knows spybot, no one heard of GIANT until ms bought them. Besides who cares, GAINT got their money, microsoft got the product. It is microsoft's now no matter how you slice it
I did but all the antispyware told me was it was doing something suspicious. Since I knew I installed it and it was from asus I just ignored the warning. It was just a warning
lol antivirus companies have been deleting serv-u installations for years. Yes deleting without even asking. All the ms app does it tell you it is a possible trojan.
I always thought my pc was well protected, mcafee antivirus, router, no porn sites (I'm a developer so it takes a lot to fool me) and yet ms antispyware found a file that contained a trojan on one of my drives. Last night when I was about to shut own my computer it gave a warning about the asus probe utility using "fishy" methods to ensure it run on startup
Saddam used to issue decrees all the time. In democratic societies nobody tries to shove shit down your throat by issuing decrees. If open source is better than let it win on its own merit
Slashdot Mirror
So the next time I get busted for warez I'll claim to be a secret government hitman who can't reveal his sources
so what you're saying is slashdot editors don't read slashdot. Hell, I rarely post but I do take a glance at slashdot once a day and I can spot dupes.

a low price for something you got for free. It's a free world man, if you don't like their tools don't use em

but you people are stupid. You are so stupid you want the government to decide what gets installed on your own damn computer

MS leaves fixes to 3rd party. WAAAA!! why doesn't ms fix their own shit
MS releases patches to fix their product. WAAA!!! this patch broke my already broken system.
MS release tools to detect and fix malicious apps that ruin their product. WAAAA!! a lot of spam companies will go out of business
damned if you do, damned if you don't
