  6. Unix History on Microsoft Virus Spam: SoBig.F · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Considerign that whne the Windows project was started at MS that Unix code was closed off to review and learning from would it be too much to conclude that AT&T's efforts to close Unix(System V) code off so tha tpeople could not learn to write secure OS kernel code might have something to do with the major mistakes made in MS Kernel code in the early 1980s that we are still experiencing?

  7. ah people time to wave bye bye to SCO Group on "Stolen" SCO Linux Code Snippets Leaked · · Score: 4, Insightful

    this is code that was contributed by Caldera employees and thus released under full SCO Group knowledge to Linux..

    So where is the magical proof that McBride keeps claiming that he has?

    I smell a fraud lawsuit against McBride on the basis of both Federal and State BlueSky Laws on the basis on making false factual public statements that investors relied upon to buy SCO Group stock..

    and Boise should know better than to perpuate false information about the laws and regs on software copyrights!

  16. depends upon budget needs on The Increasing Cost of Red Hat Linux? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It depnds upon your budget needs..

    You have already mention the need to use Oracle which is $5k per cpu..

    If you switch distros you want to make sure you are not placed in the saem decision 6 months or 2 years down the road again..

    Thus I recommend looking into using debian instead of SuSE..

    As you know SuSE is partnering with vendors such as Sun and thus wil be in the same bussiness model as Red Hat in wanting to charge for enterprise versions either through support or etc..

    Do not forget to factor in training costs of employees of going from distro to the next...

    Also do the idiot checks, take a demo/dev version of Oracle and do test installs on the distro your considering..

    Assuming that all old windows systems are unsecure or badly written..

    Would it not make sense to take 75% fo $45 billion and offere to replace hardware and update to winXp or longhorn to every MS custoemr worldwide?

    The what happens to the other half of errors produce by poor Kernel OS design decisions?

    Seems tome if there was poor design deciosns, no amount of systematic coding process will rease the system erros and security flaws associated with those design problems unless the odl kernle is completely thrown out in the trash and they start anew..
