" The company also unveiled "WinFX," which it described as a new application programing model for Windows that is the evolution of its.NET programing framework."
Seriously, what the hell does that mean? It seems like it's something they've thrown together lately to patch up any.NET messes.
"Microsoft's risk of losing the public sector market altogether is small, at least for now.
The company's products are just too essential, and many open source alternatives too ineffective for many of the kinds of big database jobs governments require. "
What MS database is so esential to the "big database jobs" government requires? Access? SQL Server?.. give me a break. Talk about being vague and inacurate.
Ok, so if the program is smart enough to discover that it's a cracked copy of itself, why doesnt it just not start up and prevent the user from using the cracked copy.
CSXT has confronted increasingly sophisticated computer viruses, like ones that have penetrated some of the most secure sites in the country in recent days.
Wha the fuck ever. I've heard similar excuses all freaking week. "Viruses are getting smarter" , "Those hackers have no lives", etc etc. They miss the point that it's actually the OS's fault in the first place! The virus comes in through an exploitable service which runs by default. It's not like the virus tricked the user into executing it.
It's like me leaving the door to my house open, some thief comes in , cleans out my house and then I say.. "Oh that bastard has no life". Well, it's also my fault for being stupid and leaving the door open in the first place.
This ignorance won't stop until the media stops talking bullshit, tells the whole story and includes _all_ the parties at fault including MS, who well, basically sold me the house without doors!
The only reason I use Msn is because most of my friends and clients use it, so I kinda have to use it if I want to keep in touch. No, They're too lazy to move to something else. This really sucks because up to now I've been using 4.6 and refuse to upgrade to the bloated piece of shit that MSN 6.x is.
I also develop plugins for Msn plus, and like the fact that msn 4.x is nice, small and fast to start up when debugging.
I want a fast, small, simple IM app. Not a freaking huge application that takes up half of the screen , gaming centre, washes my dishes, takes care of the kids, walks the dog. I cannot stand that program, I tried it twice but no! I hate it. This really sucks.
Sontag warned users that ignoring SCO's requests to license the code in advance of a court case could be costly. "Those who have chosen to ignore the license are more in a situation of potential willful infringement," Sontag said.
How can it be willful infrigement if there hasn't been any violations proven yet? This is getting ridiculous. Germany already stopped these idiots, I can't believe nothing is being done here to stop these morons from talking so much shit!
Another thing to note, how come the file is no longer in bit keeper? Am i looking in the wrong place? Got removed?
speaking of network blackouts

Network Blackout
·
· Score: 5, Interesting
14th 4:20pm - Power goes out, our building's generators for some reason dont kick in. 14th 4:35 - Most of us decide to call it a day and go home 14th 4:30 - I'm in my car, I realize the blackout is bad when only 2 or 3 radio stations are working and the no traffic lights are. I know it was going to be a fun drive home - thank god i live 15 mins away. 14th 4:45 - I hear the blackout expands to parts of the States. me: OH FUCK@#$@#$ 14th 4:50 - My sister sms's me on my cell telling me her and my mom are stuck in the subway - they need help. Like I care, I have my own problems , traffic is a mess and there are hundreds of psychos out. 14th 5:00 - I get home, look for a battery powered radio and listen in. 14th 5:30 - I get a call from my sister - they're stuck somewhere downtown. I just wish them luck. 14th 7:00 - I realize there are no candles in the freaking house, time to look for those puppies. 14th 8:00 - Sister & mom arrive home. me: LOL 14th 11:30 - I go to bed & pray the blackout lasts until the middle of the next day, that way I get an extended weekend -wohooo, back to bed 15th 7:30am - Wake up, lights are still out - no work, home free! wohoo, back to bed. 15th 11:30 - Receive a call from my boss, asking me where the fuck i was since they got power at the office but there is a lil "issue". 15th 12:30m - Got to the office, problem: No Internet connection, seems one of the ISP's switches went bye bye after the black out. Our main app server is down. No power you think? Nope The colo company hasnt been paying their bills and WorldCom used the blackout to pull the plug on them. Server is up and running but no outside world connection. FUCK@#*$. 15th 1:00pm - We think , no biggy let's use one of our other servers and restore apps and data from backup. HA! yah right - Turns out a DNS servers for our backup machines had died and the backup script had stopped working 10 days earlier. Great. 15th 2:30 - We wait to see if Worldcom is nice enough to plug the box back in. 15th 4:30 - Yah, it ain't happening - 20+ clients are without website and apps. 15th 5:00pm - Boss and I drive downtown to the WorldCom building to download data physically off the Box. 15th 5:30 - Stop for gas - HA! huge lineup. 15th 7:30 - Get into the server room, ha! the fucking cage where our box is is locked and the key is not working. One of us climbs the cage and goes into it, runs an ethernet cable from the box to the laptop. So picture these, 4 geeks inside a server room, three sitting on the floor , one inside a cage like some wild animal. I should have brought a camera. Let the tar'in begin. 15th 9:00 - Download is completed, our asses are sore from sitting on concrete, necks hurting, and WorldCom employee happy that we're finally leaving. 15th 9:30 - We're downtown wondering how the fuck we're going to upload 2gig+ worth of data and source code to our spare server. 15th 10:30 - Since there is no inet at the office and our home's cable is too fucking slow (Rogers cable sucks!) , we decide we bring out the ghetto in us. We walk up and down Yonge street asking Internet cafe's if they could lend us some bandwith!!!. Yes, you hear me right, we were begging for bandwith in internet cafes. 15th 10:45 - We decide we're hungry, so we stop at a sushi bar. After we're done we realized it might not be a good idea to eat fish after a blackout. Fridges not working aand all. Too fuckin late. 15th 11:00 - Found an internet cafe that will let us connect the laptop to upload. 15th 11:30 - Realize we can't do shit since the computer is in Korean , have all Win settings locked and the guy taking care of the place has no clue. 16th 1:30am - I'm at my boss's house uploading 2gig+ data , will take about 27 hours. Ask me if I cared about the clients at this point. 16th 1:35 - I leave and head to my friend's place where they're having beers & bbq'in on my friend's balcony. - My weekend Begins.
Go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect 200 dollars. Do not tell others what you found. Let the hole be there for years. Let someone else find it and exploit it and collect 200 dollars.
I'll admit having used outlook express - it is fast and there already (/me hides).. This news comes just in time after having switched to Thunderbird, a great, nice, simple, secure e-mail client with lots of potential. For what i need, it's perfect.

.. and I thought some of the perl code I've seen here was confusing & obscure. They should have competitions for people like you 2 ;) .
"..and practically is distinguishable only in that Linux is a 'free' version of UNIX designed to destroy proprietary operating system software"
hmmm.....Where have we heard that choice of words before?
" The company also unveiled "WinFX," which it described as a new application programing model for Windows that is the evolution of its .NET programing framework."
.NET messes.
Seriously, what the hell does that mean? It seems like it's something they've thrown together lately to patch up any
"Also, your momma is ugly. Seriously. UG-LY."
ohhhh.. he's just asking for it.

I got really scared.
we need infections in order to build immunity.
well, if we didn't have infections why would we need immunity?
