    Here we go again another attempt to modify, obfuscate and dominate!

  5. transparent malicious code? on Is Open Source Fertile Ground for Foul Play? · · Score: 1
    Someone please explain to me how visable source can hide malicious code. What I would be more afraid of is binaries from unavailable source.

    Certainly OSS coders could write deceptive garbage code, but from what I have seen this is not the case. OSS coders seem to take pride in

    1: the quality

    2: in the origin and

    3: the security, found in OSS so far.

    Sounds like the article was written by another paid lackey.

    C#, (personal opinions) is simply another attempt to modify, obscure and exclude, if it becomes processor code than tuck your head between your legs all you Linux C coders!

    Smart thing would be to use the powerlines as a seperate net that uses only secure, verifiable mail delivery. Sounds like rebellion, but it could work!

    Of Phil and Tony Esposito, Prince Township and Groscap. Good that it is happening to my old home town. North of SSM Michigan there are more than just Moose, miss treated Natives, and dumb American tourists! Now if we have the insight to ban Xbox, spam, and email with virus attachments traffic on it it might just work! If you are going to create an alternative to the mess on the net today, getting alittle hostile might be the only answer.

  11. Ex Microserf? on BBC Links Linux To MyDoom · · Score: 1
    Could be that an ex-microserf, who got the axe, is just pissing off the world. The reason I say this is that the quality of the myDoom virus code is about on the level of a Microsoft coder! Good thing if Bill did axe the jerk.

  12. Re:ia 64 come on Linux! on Windows XP 64-Bit Customer Preview Program · · Score: 1
    You don't honestly think Intel is coming to save you from big business, do you?

    Certainly not, however MS security, or it's obvious absence, is driving more and more people to OSS. The Longhorn solution just does not wash at Intel. Like any other manufacturer, Intel relies on repeat customers. The MS solution of forced hardware upgrades is not a good solution to security. Intel knows this and I am almost willing to bet that they are looking into OSS, big time. MS dropping support for Win98, then quickly backing off tells more about the story than any other recent MS screwup. 64 bit computing for the PC is coming but it cannot be forced upon businesses. Especially marginal ones.

  13. ia 64 come on Linux! on Windows XP 64-Bit Customer Preview Program · · Score: 1, Interesting
    Thats what happens when you release a Linux friendly compiler. Good. This will only serve to drive Intel toward Unix and Linux. MS hates competition, now the dead chickens caused by MS will come home to roost. Pissing off Intel is a big mistake, the worlds largest chip manufacture will not take this for long.

  20. Re:I should know.. MS bugs are proprietary.. on Flaws Threaten VoIP Networks? · · Score: 1

    The problem is that the bugs that show up are hidden in the code. So what you see with microsoft is the effect not the flaw. Just try to do a debug on an MS proprietary pipe! The output is deliberately obscured. The trick is to do a binary backtrace, or crack, then you can figure out the exact nature of the bug. The gnu debugger on the other hand will even suggest a fix if you find a memory error! Its too bad most MS server people can't write squat when it comes to code, and can't fix squat without a moused out window gui and bandaide patch from MS. Learn to program, not patch.

  21. Sco vs ANSI? on SCO Fails to Produce Evidence · · Score: 1
    If your concept of Linux is as a derivative work of Unix, then surely Sco has a case. The reality of the situation comes down to language. Is Ansi C subject to Unix copyright? I think not! This is the end of Sco, you guys are going to get your ass whipped. Microsoft will finally be exposed as C code theives! If IBMs lawyers simply point out that Ansi C is the basis of Linux, and all derivitatives of C code, C#, C++ java etc etc which is the code that powers every advanced computer language in the world, then the judge could set a very important precident. The copyright invalidation of all C varients!

    Odly enough SIS has good Linux support for their onboard agp chips! I have an old Mainboard with SIS620, the cdrom that shipped with it came fully linux supported in 1999! Sound, video, ethernet, modem and everything else on the board. Sure they are not 'gamer' products but then again, anyone who single games on linux deserves what they get, a waste of great cpu cycles, that could be doing real work!

  24. Looking back at what? on Looking Back At Windows Security In 2003 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I do not see any security. As Gates/Balmer have said "it would be far too expensive to fix Windows" Besides by fixing Windows, the forced $upgrade$ incentive would go away. The problem with the MS software model is that if you make it too good no one will upgrade. Like banks and OS2, IBM focused on getting the security right, look what happened!

  25. accountants? on Linus Blasts SCO's Header Claims · · Score: 2, Informative

    Does SCO have an accounting department? Or did the lawyers shoot them first? Somehow this is the only thing that makes any sense. The claims are becoming frivolous to the point of rediculum. The financial implications should become clear around the Ides of March. When there is no more money to pay the lawyers. Then, like a wild stampede of rats we will see an end to this fiaSCO. You can bet that some company will step up to the bat to buy out the shell that is left. Anyone taking bets on Microsoft?
