A New Kind of War

· Score: 0
Electronic warfare is cheap and easy when the whole US economy runs on unpatched IIS servers.
Even if everyone ran right out and patched the shit out of every server on the planet, the crappy reputation IIS has for security holes would entice lamerz to write worms that simply take up bandwidth by trying every known securith hole from the last few years.
I see Taco finally figured out the meaning of n.
n. in math, an indefinite whole number.
Nth. greatist unspecified ordinal number
By the way, just to piss you off, I'd like to inform you this is still the Nth Post.
Many of the Mexican invanders
bring with them a strange brand of Christianity
Yeah- and the first bands of settlers in north america appeared due to persecution of their strange flavor of christianity. Remember this countries roots before you open yer yap.
I almost wonder if this is a subconscious attempt from people to rally support for white Christian America. It's easy for those who fit comfortably into the majority to see this as an Us vs. Them battle.
Yeah, I heard that on cnn.com~ Pray, but not if your black, jewish, etc.
WTF?? How exactly is a request to pray a denial of most of america's ethnicity?
No I am not stupid. Yes, I understand the costs of raising a child with special needs. Regardless of your brother, you evidently do not, as you ony mention one of these costs (money).
When you mature and are able to have children, consider this: Downs is only one particular disability. If you gave birth to a typical, healthy baby who later became disabled due to sickness, head injury, etc, would you kill them?
Sometimes life is not worth living if the quality is horrible.
I agree. My solution is to continue to work for the county Board of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilitied to improve the quality of that life. Evidently yours is to simply take that life and be done with it.
And who are you to judge the quality of someone elses life? If I'm happy, regardless of appearance, intelegence, or physical capacity, who else should give a shit??
not even elevator controllers running DOS3 Get real. If M$ wanted the market, they'd go for it. Right now the money is in desktop pc's and short-term renewable licenses (ours are good for 2 years).
That "upgrade or get screwed" shit only applies to the desktop user Realy? Did NT start at 4.0? Why did they roll out 2000 Server edition? Whats your MSCE certification; NT or 2K? Can you even get an NT cert anymore?? Everything is eventually replaced. M$ just wants to make sure you upgrade and pay your fair share when M$ thinks its time.
The business world is a different beast entirely. Um, no its not. How many of your users have a workstation? I have a modest 300 workstations running '98.
And you'll never see the lates MS stuff in any mission critical systems. Such systems are still running DOS because it's known to be stable or has all bugs fully known and coded to be avoidedYou're at least partly correct, our file and print servers are NT, but our mission critical financial databases are Unix. As far as DOS goes, its stable, but even cash register manufacturers are begining to move away from it.
Are we going to be on Code Red version 99.1 before some of these dumb ass sysadmins take a little time and just patch their POS IIS servers?
How many times do you need to be kicked in the crotch before you learn to get out of the way???
...have already seen such things. The "cheese" virus closes backdoors, and the "ramen" virus pollitely informs you you need to update your version of Red Hat to fix security issues.
If IIS and Outlook users want to write code to fix virus-related problems, thats fine. I'm sure theres a job waiting for them in Redmond.
will thus HAVE TO support SMB for compatibility reasons
Oh, yeah, sure. Go on living in a box. M$ will not be offering any support (software or otherwise for win98 and below as of a few short months from now. I'd post a link, but dont know where I found it at on the M$ site. I beleive it was hidden away back in the licence info.
Bill Gates wants you to use his latest little money maker. He couldn't give a rats ass about some sorry pos 386 running 3.1 (for example) because thats a) not where the money is, and b)thats not where the emerging technology is.
Resistance is futile...
My wife is a "line worker" at Delphi Automotive (formerly a division of GM). They used to be UAW, then Electronic Workers, now their CWA. Would someone please explain what welding and webmaster have in common (besides the w)? Their union "representation" keeps bankrupting its own strike funds, and squandering union dues on personal expenses, then merging with another union only to go through their money as well.
Unions are like locusts, and thats not the kind of problem I need at my job, thanks.

Yeah: Just as Hitler hid himself in a bunker and shot himself in the head, we wait to see your dumb ass do the same.
This was truly a Nazi post
Heh.

"what if" my butt... I have had a considerable ammount of fun using Subseven in the past.

but then again, who cares, right?
down with the dc
...saw it coming two years ago with so-called "OBD-IV"
Doh!

... program,compile, reboot, SHIT! ...program, compile, reboot, SHIT! all at about 1.3GHZ
... a shitty waste of time as opposed to sitting around slashdot spouting off your fat head?
If you've got a local Bennegans, they've got your Pillsner Urquell there too.
