I learned what's an editorial comment there. Let's see:
"One of the most basic "hacks" (to use the media's bastardization of the term) is a Denial of Service attack.
You mean the hacker term or the Denial of Service term? Clarify.

While not getting you any access to data on a machine,
And since when is this the bastard hacker term meant to be? Hacker, by the media, would mean "cracker", and crackers don't want "information". Hackers do, crackers want to cause confusion (unless information == fast money/recognition)

DoS attacks effectively shut down machines by making them inaccessable to others.
Yeah? And how does this happens? Another assumption I understand all anacronyms out there.

Oooooh, finally the meat. That's what the news is about, not the opinion from who whatever wrote/published this article.
I guess you don't take his costumers are reviewers. Sure they don't look directly into code lines, but once they bought, if they are happy and recommend the product to friends, what better peer review do you want?
That you didn't seem to perceive. He was saying that removing or denying even some of the smallest features is not a good thing.
I don't see how your argument can counter-attack his. Sure, you don't run the www on your computer. But still, you 'run' the www when you browse the internet. Doesn't matter where the features are located, the point is somewhere, somehow, someone might need.
Be careful when you have to fire someone. I guess you will have to give a reason, and if you touch the subject of "You lack XYZ", your current employees when talking with the former will know your reasons.
The internet is getting more serious, I hope people realize how serious the trolls here are. How serious I am about this.
Now really, I don't know how someone could get this idea. It came from a military background then it flourished as a free media for academics, then business get on-line.
I wonder if they were analizing the Internet or the people. Yes, the people. Maybe/. title was misleading.
But people are not being more serious on the web, no way. It's just that the web has itself (on the most part) a level of compromise that it doesn't require you to be, or say, 100% of the times, what you really think.
I don't believ that such serious issue could be treated like it was a playground. Folks are getting on-line, they hear friends say "Hey it's cool!" and they buy a computer and hear screaming noises from the case. Then they get on-line and pay AOL to get mocked by other people.
It's all insanity this research. If they had asked me what I think about I would have lied. Because there's no way of me telling you anything more precisely then the way I am currently doing.
If you don't believe me you are taking life too seriuosly. Perhaps it's time to turn off the computer to have some fun.
I thought they did, in a business sense perspective, they did what was best for them to stay in business, and not only that, to be the number one.
What was best for the company, to destroy Netscape or to make this new filesystem? Obviously, you are judging MS now based on the fact the it is, indeed, a monopoly.
But maybe they would never had the chance to implement this if they weren't dominant.
BTW, I do know I am largely touching the heart and soul of almost every/. reader here. Most will think it's a flame, specially moderators. Thos things don't bother me anymore, I hit the Karma cap, there's no reason to post what I truly believe. Just trying to think outside the box for minute.
There's a way to let him unhappy, in fact all politicians that support anti-'piracy' laws unhappy.
Just don't vote for them. And tell your friends not to either. Maybe that will teach them what most want, when they have decided about this. Uninformed people don't count, well, at least you can make this number smaller.
Spread the word! Nice if done over Gnutella, too:-)

Nice to see a lawyer doing something community-oriented for a change (even if they are just trying to make a profit from it).
When will people learn the end doesn't justify the means. Just see, I can't kill someone because he's irrating me.
Either you are, or you aren't! I don't want money, I just want to get my emails, for me!
How about Gnutella?
If you don't want Kazaa around, Kazaa Lite won't help. It still needs the huge FastTrack userbase.
Karma whores out there, I bring you the meaning of an consistent opinion.

What we need to do is print a few pages of the Linux kernel and throw at Bill Gates face like someone did with a pie.
If he doesn't close his eyes in time, than THAT is the backfire I want!

You can't look at this from just one perspective.
easily crash purely because of its old-hardware, just because it works
If it crashes, it doesn't work.

How about the "javascript:onLoad" commerce scheme? It's fairly new, existing since 5 seconds ago when I come up with the idea ;-)
