Bring your girlfriend out to one of our meetings. I promise you'll understand. I promise nobody will *intentionally* offend her, but you may be shocked at what she tells you afterwards.
"What the Hell were you talking about?" (unless she knows what you were talking about, and would find everything completely normal)?
I know right. Open sores makes software secure. I always trust open sores peoples.. especially ones with neck-beards to ensure security...
So you ran out of arguments. Congratulations!
Yawn... point me to your design that 600 hundred million people are using successfully.
Opium had more users at some point. Did less damage, too.
You have never done anything in your entire life. Your contributions technically have been zero. You know nothing about OS design.. have never designed anything.. or even written a research paper... or even made a prototype. Nothing.. zero.. nil.
Who cares? Unix security model is a joke.. continues to be a joke.. and requires additional shit like se linux to even make it bearable. Without it everyone would just point and laugh at it. Unix "design" has continued to struggle with every single technology change. Multiprocessor..
Unix-based systems were always ahead of Windows in SMP support. For anything other than SMP, there is no comparison at all because Microsoft does not know what the Hell it is.
Multithreading..
Unix had concurrency and clean interfaces between concurrently running code before multithreading was invented. Multithreading is a speed hack (hay guyz, let's combine our processes' address spaces!) that is horribly overused because of its popularity among Windows programmers. What happened because interprocess communications in Windows is unusable, so they never learned anything else. If not Windows promoting this overuse of difficult, hard to get right, techniques for trivial purposes, software for all operating systems would be more reliable now, as proper process separation is more efficient on modern hardware.
any form of modern access control.
All "modern access control" ideas are stupid because they were made with fundamentally wrong assumptions. Instead of providing clear separation of access and well-defined interface (Unix) they create multiple interfaces that no one can keep track of, and try to make them secure by creating complex set of permissions in hope of micromanaging users -- and then their bright designers learn that user IDs are not meant to represent human users in the first place (ACLs). This is also why no one -- literally no one! -- uses posix acl. Security is not achieved by adding complex mechanisms and restrictions, it's achieved by implementing simple and reliable access control consistently, and not stuffing security-critical code with bugs.
O(n) schedulers..
Compared to what, Windows, with its scheduler optimized for snappy redraws of modal dialog boxes?
LOL.. every shit design that anyone has implemented has already been applied to Linux.
Except you know nothing about design, and Windows developers know less.
For fucks sake apache used to require you to run as root in the early days.
Started as root. Not runs as root. What also means very little by itself, however you know nothing except results of google searches for "linux bug".
LOL. What a piece of shit it was.
That comes from Windows apologist, right?
After numerous hacks... you can finally run it without root access.
You still can't run it without root access if you want it to listen on port 80. What is done by design, and as I have mentioned before, you know nothing about it.
But even then.. you have to do some shit like create extra users with special permissions or chroot it or some other horrible hack.
You can always run it as your own user, but this is usually not what people want.
Because Linux has zero concept of finegrained process and u
Oh thats okay. It is quite possible that such exploits are out of your conceptual grasp.
Yes, it's outside my "conceptual grasp" that insecure design is OK because even with secure design vulnerabilities are possible.
I never said morons could exploit them.
It does not matter how smart you are if vulnerabilities aren't there.
Its okay though, don't feel bad. Cheer up ! You can always work on the documentation. THey need tons of idiots there !
Your arrogance is misplaced.
MySQL.. another bug ridden shitty mess... has the amazing power to allow remote connecting clients
What remote connecting clients? No one enables that, everyone runs database servers with local connections or over a tunnel to localhost.
to cause buffer overruns and inject&execute shellcode. I wish I was making stuff up:(... but its really this bad.:(:(
Name one instance of this actually happening to a server anywhere outside of the testing lab. Just because you can google for bug descriptions, does not mean you understand what they mean.
No, its because I hate Linux, the culture around it and most of the people involved in it, especially the developers. I thought that part was obvious? Do you have a learning disability? You seem like the type... I'm sorry:(
If you hate all those things, you have to hate pretty much everything that is good in the world, too. Even paid Microsoft shills are less pathetic than that.
what has windows got to do with the millions of rooted linux servers?
Not much. Windows exists, millions of rooted Linux servers do not.
The countless linux priviledge escalation vulnerabilities + mis-configured mysql/php/stuff make it too easy.
Most of those "countless Linux privilege escalations" are not exploitable at all, leave alone through MySQL, of all things. Stop making stuff up.
oh and BTW... normal people would look at a desktop installation of Linux... exclaim "what the fuck is this piece of broken shit.. nothing works". Linux is not really a solution. Unless you think driving nails in peoples heads is a solution to relieve headache. (some people though so.. in pre-science times..)
On top of being completely wrong, this is also irrelevant. Do you have to post those idiotic phrases so your employer can verify that you met your quota for astroturfing, or are you really that stupid?
Sony "The Rootkit Company" actions were a part of what convinced me to get Fujifilm X-Pro1 instead of anything from Sony NEX line (and yes, the sensor is still made by Sony). A larger part of it was that it's a better camera for taking photos indoors and at night, but I really did not like the idea of buying a camera from them.
A lawyer politician can redefine up as down and kill as invigorate...
And this has absolutely no effect on his potential to be bombed, as it's based on other side's politicians' definitions. Everyone already knows that US feels free to bomb anyone who does not have nuclear weapons.
Japan had US oil blockades severely threatening their supply lines during their WW2 quest for world domination. That wasn't an act of war.... (except to the Japanese who responded violently to what WE didn't LABEL as an act of war.)
Except the rest of the world disagrees with US about that, however there is much more to WWII than a petty conflict between US and Japan, both minor players in the conflicts.
I point to all of the servers running Apache, PHP, etc that were hacked
Apache is secure compared to all other web server on all platforms, with very few exploitable holes over its whole history. PHP exploits don't give the attacker access to absolutely everything, and most "PHP exploits" are actually exploits of bugs in PHP scripts written by idiots. Software does not protect the user from his own stupidity.
and rooted.
Very, very few of them, and most prominent ones were "hacked" by stealing someone's ssh key.
Not to be a jackass or anything, but Linux and BSD (especially Apple's version)
Whatever Apple does, is about as much BSD as Android is Linux -- and in both cases security bugs are in proprietary/vendor-specific layers that go against Unix, BSD or Linux design.
are not 100% immune to attack, not by a long shot.
No one is talking about any system being "100% immune to attack" -- after all sufficiently large DDoS can effectively bring down absolutely everything. The difference is, however, in amount of exploitable bugs, conditions when they are actually exploitable, consequences of exploit, and required stupidity of the user for any of this to happen. In Windows the required stupidity is almost always zero because insecure design is fundamental, and direction of development is completely wrong. Users are at the mercy of Microsoft developers, and Microsoft developers continue writing crap implementations of crap design with more and more mitigation measures on top. Typical Windows user can't even recognize Unix security model as anything security-related because it does not look like a combination of an antivirus, DRM, and unmanageable and poorly enforced permission model.
On the other hand, most security bugs reported for Linux are either reported without a verification that exploit is possible, or are known to be non-exploitable in actual servers configured with any concern for security.
An act of war is an act of war. However the war either is or isn't there -- once anything is considered an act of war and hostilities are started, ALL forms of warfare can be applied by both sides.
So be careful what you do in a response to a high school student defacing your country's most prominent sandwich company's web site -- you may get your diplomats thrown out, your citizens' assets seized, and your cities bombed, all within completely valid war. In other words, the consequences would be the same as with any other act of war perpetrated by you.
In other words, it's never worth doing, so everyone should shut up, stop using Windows, and hire competent sysadmins.
Funny thing to say since I am using Linux since March 1996.
No, you don't. Watching slideshows for astroturfers is not "using".
So the USER IS FORCED TO HAVE KNOWLEDGE of the fact that a running application with old.so's is unsecure? How fucking stupid is that? Why would any user even think that hitting update means "maybe" you're safe? Stop defending shitty design.
The only thing "more secure" is to immediately kill all processes, what would be worse, and won't really improve anything. Whenever restarting is possible (daemons/servers) it's already done automatically.
Seriously how hard is it to add a UI checkbox like Windows has for allowing only critical updates to get installed... but no.. Linux has to do everything in its own fucked up way of spamming the user with dozens of updates for all kinds of minor packages.
GUI frontends to package managers have an option to select only security updates, however this is not recommended because updates are already very small.
I download ISO dvd images to install from
If you actually used Linux, you would not have to install it more than once on any computer in the first place. The only people who install Linux often enough to remember it, are people who don't use what they install.
because I can never get a full net install to work.
That's bullshit because network installation always works. Unless, of course, you use some special distribution that Microsoft maintains for its astroturfers.
Actually I got disconnected a few times when installing shit with yum.. and the state got corrupted.
yum does not work that way.
Um.. nope windows server 2008 has (proper ACID) atomic file transactions that do exactly that for years (this is not file system block level journaling) ... continue digging your own hole..
Filesystem journaling does not work across multiple file updates performed by installer, and unrelated to that, Windows, just like Linux, has only metadata journaling enabled by default on desktops. Either way, there is nothing that can be done if filesystem support or system startup or corrupt when the system is booting. Everything else results in a bootable system, however if something is incomplete, it's incomplete. Installer's operation is not a filesystem-level transaction on any OS. Anyone who needs installer that can survive power being turned off while it is running, can use two-partitions method that I have described. It will even work for Windows, but it's a greater pain in the neck to maintain there, thank to stupidity of Windows bootloader.
Yeah.. I am a Freelance embedded C++ software developer living in India. Anything else you want to add fake quotes around?
Pretty much every word except "I am", and maybe "in India". There are no "embedded C++ software developers" in the first place, embedded development is never done entirely in C++, and no embedded systems developer would ever call himself "C++" programmer without adding C or omitting particular languages. Except, of course, idiots and charlatans.
Anyway, I have absolutely no idea how well Linux distributions update servers are accessible in India, however I am sure, you can choose any mirror server in India, China or other nearby countries with approximately equal results.
Actually.. no. apart from the OS UI... most linux software UI sucks ass.. and tries to usually copy (badly) some windows 95 era product which no longer exists.
Thank you for your opinion. Too bad, you are too stupid to have an opinion.
In which drug-induced-hallucinogen-sprinkled world do you live in that anyone would care to do a google search about linux problems to post a several levels deep comment o
The consequences of those vulnerabilities being exploited are not the same as on Windows, and vulnerabilities are usually absent or unexploitable in anything that has sufficient permissions to cause serious or unfixable intrusion. This is not the case on Windows, where any exploit is a permanent root exploit.
Telemarketers. It is not illegal to call random people by thousands at a time to try to sell them something. It is illegal to do that using cellular phones (or faxes), People without landlines, or with VoIP landlines don't have to deal with that anymore, however when we had switched landlines, it was multiple times a day that you have to answer to some sleazy salesman. They even messed with caller IDs when people started using them.
But now calls almost always go to voicemail after being disconnected by accident. Either either a phone on the other end thinks the call is still on, or the person did not notice dropped call because he holds the phone to his ear or the person is trying to call you at the same time, and call waiting does not work.
This is the same as claiming that racism should be preserved, because it was always so good at uniting people within their societies. Once society becomes racially diverse, racism jumps into "not worth the trouble having" category, and becomes worse and worse thing to have as society develops into that direction.
Same happened with religion at the point when it entered a conflict with development of science. Now it's not just in conflict with science, but with mainstream science and development of engineering, medicine, communications, economy and pretty much every area of human activity currently essential to the survival of society. Therefore the proper category for it is "kill it with fire!", and it's a true miracle of ignorance and bigotry that it survived long enoigh to reach it.
No, because this is about how other people evaluate the comments they read, not how they write. If I won't mention that I consider you a mindless moron with knee-jerk reactions to everything, others would not know that I consider it important that your writings are wrong, and would not bother analyzing the content of my responses.
Now, I don't troll (I know many people on this site will disagree), I can express my opinion but I don't troll even if you think my opinion is a troll in itself.
No, it's just your opinion is usually so stupid, it's more offensive than any troll.

"What the Hell were you talking about?" (unless she knows what you were talking about, and would find everything completely normal)?
If it had been a man complaining about the behavior, would you have called him a bitch?
No, I would call him a dick, what is just as much an insult as a bitch, and just as gender-specific.
What would you (over-zealous feminists) do if you had to speak a language where ALL nouns are gendered, and some very arbitrarily so?
You shouldn't buy a camera from a consumer electronics company anyways.
