nope.
My computer has NEVER crawed down, even when installing Oricale, MySQL (testing 'em both), Apache (don't trust IIS) and Tomcat (apache project, Java web server for Javalets) it ran fast (ok, as it was a test box it was not hit hard, but I AM USING IT AS A DESKTOP OS (I would use Solaris/BSD/Linux for a server)).
My computer does not have any rogue apps which I have to kill via cnl-alt-del.
And I run Half-Life dedicated servers on my machine most of the time! (well did, but I have moved and don't have my DSL line anymore)
I know... Why don't you try USING win2k instead of beleiving it to be shit as 9x was.
> Only clueless newbies run GNU/Linux as root
Err... for Linux to become main stream (My your [G|g]og[dess[e]][s] help us all if it does) then it HAS to appeal to clueless newbies.
Plus why the f*** should you log in as root to install stuff... its not neaded for a desktop.
ok, some very good points... but...
If it became as wide spread as Windows 1/2 the people out there would end up as Root. (or with root permisions, why log in to install software (remember NORMAL user...) Plus they are also the chance that a bug in the file system/print server,... will give a normal app r/w over everything.
email virii are due to daft-user-sendrom.
Anyone with 1/2 a brain cell should know not to open attachments unless you are expecting them (old version of outlook may have had the autorun.ini problem, but then old versions of Red Hat are not all that user friendly).
MS web server, I will not denay it's poo-ness, but if adv people started using Linux, someone would have fun with Apache.
wow,/. is poo... no edit button...
Win2X should read Win9X, as I am shure you can guess, but the simple minded, stupid buggers out there will compain about it for days.
You know the ones, the ones without arguments, or points, and have to compain about spelling/grammer/typos...
(ok thats prob a bs number, but put Windows Vs Linux on the desktop (which is the biggest play ground for Viriis) and Windows (in the amount of users department) kicks linux, HARD!)
please note: As a server, or a geek os, I have nothing against Linux. I can install & run it. I just see very little point (as I do not use a server at home, and if I did, I'd be using BSD/Solaris, but hey...)
Slashdot Mirror
quite right, it's the guy that pushes the button...
However Guns and Nucks are made purely for killing, while crypto is not.
I liked that episode
URL please?
That would be intresting to read about...
poor little slug.
anyone watch that doggy film where they grapht(sp) a dead kids brain into a video game to up the AI...
I can see it now...
AI Chip from Cyrix (a bit of a slug)
AI Chip from MS (a small child)
> machines in the SUN/HP range could be replaced with x86 boxes
These computers are the computers Sun are tring to break into the x86 market with thou.
i think it's a bit dull.
come on people, use some imagenation(sp), go forth and find NEW sick porn!
Servers are Linux's market, but I don't see an x86 taking the place of a SPRAC.
still a dam good game.
The question was not ms-written progs, but MS progs, and I have bought one ms prog... AOE.
(Win & Office came with the box, and my LEA bought the box)
esp if it's Warcraft-style game, with an AI to take over when you leave...
nope.

CS!
yeah.
AOE.
Dam good game if you ask me.
mike
its not linux, heance evil...
Them XRay machines move dam fast! ;-)
Esp when your waiting for your x-ray, it'll be gone for days, and your'll be stuck in a corridor with two dead people in wheel chairs...
But with T.V. output...
if HP add a visualation extra, i'd be tempted...
CS!
i'm sorry, I have to disagree.
The place in hell goes to the person who added the make-new-window command.
JS is otherwise a nice extra, when used in moderation.
CS!

just a quick not, Word & PowerPoint & Eceel docs can be read in other apps. You can live with out/
but there are more Windows boxes then Unix boxes...
hence an attack against windows will effect more boxes then an attack against Unix computer.
But I agree than Windows boxes are not as scure as Unix. And in servers, Unix (currently, this is fading thou.) outway Windows.

95% of desktop use Windows.
(ok thats prob a bs number, but put Windows Vs Linux on the desktop (which is the biggest play ground for Viriis) and Windows (in the amount of users department) kicks linux, HARD!)

no I am not. I have not had a BSOD ONCE!
;-)
Win2K is _stable_ (not great, i'd love to be running a BeOS-a-like, but hey)
Win2X is poo.
it's quite simple.
playing my super-kewl, stable Loki games
While I play _new_ computer games... but hey
bull shit.
if Unix had as many users, it would suffer the same fate.
