But many of the virii that we would call windows/virus would be gnu/virus or John Doe/Virus, so linux could still say it was secure but the "eXperience" would be otherwise.
Some people like my dad just want to use the internet, and they don't care how it works, they pay money for an ISP and they expect them to make it work.
Interestingly it was the family of the victims who blaimed the games, not the parents (who like you I consider very irrisponsible). I consider it the parents fault and the game manufacturer is being used as a source of cash by money grabbing relatives of the victims, (which makes me quite sick when i think about it).
THATS why some stuff should be kept from immature people.
You mean like GUNS? The kids got GUNS and started shotting at cars, they could not have done that if there parents had properly protected the firearms. Parents should be responsible for there child, these failed twice, first not checking the contect on the games they were playing and secondly and more importantly allowing them access to firearms.
There two types of breakin, one where they want to get into YOUR house (frankly you can't really stop someone veery determined), and where the person wants to break into A house. To protect yourself from people who want to break into A house, what you need to do is to present yourself as a worse (in terms of risk/benefit) and someone else. Fitting great lock might infact just label your house as having good stuff inside to steal rather than protecting it better.
I think the interesting part is it suppling a "secure area" to store keys. This will fun for the virus and worm writers of the future. Option on (Keys can only be stored) nasty program fills your bios area with bogus keys their by stopping you installing any new DRM app. Option two (keys can be deleted) nasty program goes and "manages" all your keys for you deleting them, anbd if it can reading them and posting them to irc;-)
You think that is bad you should see the price of CDs in the UK. Music from the movies Cds oftain cost more than the DVD itself! They like to sell "new releases" here for 18 pounds thats 27 Dollars US! The General retail price for new DVDs its 20 pounds here.
Have a look at their total holdings, HUNSAKER, JEFF F. Vice President will be cashed out completely in 1-2 months at current rate. Even the larger holders at the current rate will be cashed out in a year.
Hay does no one use nin slyblic links these days? Sure symbolic link accross that file system, but you REALLY wantb two copies of the same thing? Yes a realy link.
Yes I do, Certificates to me do seem a bit like Snake oil damn expensive for what they are. Email is one of the big reasons why you might want a domain name, the certificate for the domain name would cost more than the name for a year! I just think it should be supplied as part of the domain name, perhaps you could lodge a certificate (home generated) with the registry for your domain. That way if your mail server gets comprimised, you can replace the certificate straight away. Yes spammers could also register certificates, but that is not a problem, because the certifciate system is just to work out exactly what domain sent the mail. The spammer would be locked out by domain name not certificate so it don't matter if they do change it.
WHy should everyone pay CA for the certificates, we already pay for the domain name if they want to require certificates, then you should get one for your domain free with the domain! Ah I hear you say its so CA can vet people. No thats not the case, anyone can get a certificate for a domain they own all this does is make sure you know where the mail came from (not a bad thing) and impose a CA tax on all domains.
The thing I never got about this whole "free speech thing" (Ha I am English anyway, we have no "rights"), sure I respect your right to stay what you want and think what you like. What i don't understand is why I have to listen to it! You have the right to say what you like, not force everyone to listen to what your saying. Is the right to freespeech of someone else greater than my right to privacy?
No SCOs attack has been completely about something else. It has been about pumping up the stock price using the high stock price to buy other companies for stock and using the increased value to by back stock from the canopy group, effectively SCO are cashing out and are transfering the bag to someone else.
You can sue anyone for anything, of course the judge can throw it out of court as soon as he reads the papers, but he has got to read them first. Yes legal bulling is illegal, but do you want to court to prove it? you can understand why many people cave, the court costs if they lose are more than they can afford, and that is how legal bulling works, ask for a smallish ammount of money, where the legal fees would be more.
Chess grandmasters do not tune their skills by playing lots of games, how could the best player ever get better? The interesting part only occurs in the middle game. Most GMs learn by reading books and replaying of important games. Its about seeing the pattern and knowing how to counter it. This is exactly the kind of thing computers are good at. They don't have to be taught how to understand the game or how to put to getter some new stratagy, just want to do when something happens. This is why Gary Kasparov was so upset at loosing, the computer had been programmed to recognise all know plays and knew how to counter them. So it simply waited for Gary to make a mistake.
Now add the TV airing rights, DVD sales and other merchandising and you have a FAT profit.
When the remake of Godilla was made the director was told to make the film the way he wanted to as the company execs knew how they would make a profit, by selling stuff and building it up before anyone had even seen the film.
I agree I am sure they are doing that as well! After all the Heise example from malloc is in BSD, interestingly that bit of code has already had its day in court and BSD won. So this is clear proof that SCO is claiming ownership of things that do not belong to them.
The way the logic probably goes is... smp.h has their code in it, smp.h is included in file fred.c so it can use things like spin locks etc. So basically Sco is counting the lines from every file than might just #include something and you just wait for header files that also #include;-)
Please Not I do not believe SCOs claims just showing how they could up the figures without an outright lie.
This think your find what SCO has done is count all the lines in a source file in linux even if it just has one limilarity with unix. There argument would be cos it has that one line in it its obviously a devative work.
Clearly my C programs with Jim Fred and Sheila are deviative works of the BBC Micro as those are names used in the OS. Rather than me picking the names cos they are a "cool" historical joke.
Also lines like #include are obviously dervative works of unix! I cannot see why anyone else would use them in there programs unless someone had copied the header file itself from unix, cos if they didn't copy it they would have picked another name;-)
