But a PURL would have done absolutely nothing to solve this MySQL crisis, which according to you way solved by "URI to the rescue". Yet now you claim it is "much like" purl. I think you are just making up stuff as you go along. I hate hand-waving and smoke and mirror arguments.
1. You don't know about public key cryptography 2. Therefore you don't know much about cryptography at all 3. You are posting on slashdot about something you know nothing about 4.

This tired rhetoric is not going to make them switch. In fact, when people like *you* rant about how stupid *they* are for using Windows, they end up just being alienated from Linux.
Especially when you refer to windows "crashing" or blue screens. Honestly, nobody who uses Windows XP can relate to this. What you need to is, in language that is not insulting or condescending, tell them WHY exactly they would be better off switching, without resorting to lunatic fringe advodacy and Windows faults that nobody has seen since the 20th century...

all this "break" has demonstrated is that the chances are 1:590295810358705651712 not 1:1208925819614629174706176 of a collision
No, the chances of a collision are of course the same as they always were and always will be (about 1 in 2^80 for a 160 bit digest length such as SHA1).
What this "break" demonstrates is a more efficient way (fewer attempts than 2^80) to generate collisions of pairs of inputs.

This would be no different from using a hash with a larger digest, which is what the SHA-2 variants are all about.

Not quite. Sorry but you are wrong and the GP is correct. There is a big difference between generating 2 strings that collide, and being handed a hash and asked to find a collision.
linux is much better at being remotely administrated
I guess you never heard of domain group policies. It always amuses me when people who know absolutely nothing about Windows try to compare it to something else.
and a new, superior, method was put into place within a single release (about a month, as I recall). IE... hasn't done a damn thing.
Uh, the "new, superior" experience you speak of is the yellow bar at the top. The yellow bar was stolen verbatim from the SP2 IE. The look, the sound, the behavior. It was 100% lifted from IE. So get your facts straight... oh wait, this is Slashdot... I must be new here.
Yep, you are right... looks like I was doing good up until that point. I thought the moderation system by itself would take care of this. Why the need for a bitchslap?
It's called XAML. It is not a programming language, it is a declarative way to control the user interface of a client application. It's nothing new conceptually, just jumping on the XML bandwagon. You can read more about it on this MSDN Blog.
Oh, and there are already commercial clones of it out, even though it won't be released until Avalan/Longhorn timeframe.
Video games use graphics drivers. Graphics drivers run in kernel mode and a buggy driver can easily blue screen your system. Same thing happens in Linux, except there aren't any games for Linux.
Slashdot Mirror
Kind of like how KDE copied the start menu from Windows? Oh, I forgot, we never talk about stuff like that here.
Excuse me? First it was "No worries", and now it is "Now worries but keep your browser updated".
If I have to keep tabs on secunia and worry about grabbing the latest hotfixes, I may as well be using IE.
If you are going to use a fraction why not 3/5? But why use a fraction, why not just say 36 minutes? Something is not right here.

Come on slashdot, I have "-1 Terrible" karma for no apparent reason, and I have posted lots of comments recently that have been modded up.
But still, my karma is "-1 Terrible". What am I supposed to do?

eh? "Unpatched SP2" is an oxymoron. A patch is a patch. There ARE no security patches post-SP2.
eh, my servers just sit there at the login screen. Not sure what kind of "boost" I could expect from not typing up the CPU showing a login screen??
Oh man, you call that a project plan?

Im pretty sure that in 5 years, Winamp will still be around and still be able to play MP3's.
