Yeah, I know, I read the article. So let them run IE under the Win$lin TS. What is the worst that could happen that particular users windows session needs to be restored. under win4lin that would take all of a couple minutes. And if you did a nightly back up of their bookmarks and userfiles, you could restore them too.
You could always run Win4LinTerminal Services. Then you could run a linux server farm and still let users run their windows desktops. Then you could let them do what ever they want.
Once you remove Microsoft from the important job, it gets pretty easy:)
What are the chances of Ballmer taking back his 'keep quiet' statement and instead saying 'I don't want to be the guy that creates any kind of chilling effect on research'?
IMO I think they are a waist. From what I have read, the cars run on electric in the city and gas on the highway. So you get better coty milleage but your highway milleage is the same is a normal car. And, if you run the AC, the motor has to run, so on those hot summer days in the city your hybrid is pointless.
I would sign that petition as long as it was not a confession of file sharing and it was more of a "yes I agree file sharing should be legal".. cause if you worded it as "Yes I share my files... " many people would be reluctant to sign it.
Dude.. if the OS is hacked due to admin failure then it is the admins fault not the OS, if its default install is weak then that is a different issue.
The operating system does place limits on what web applications can and can't due to the system, but it would be impossible for it to know when a peice of code was being mis used improperly, cause technically the code is doing exactly what it was supposed to do.
Well not exactly, remember those are Desktop applications that were written by M$ and included in the desktop.
I am speaking about web applications written by third parties. I am pretty sure that if Linux started writting PHP message boards they would be pretty darn secure:)
Just a side note.. I know this is off topic.. but have you ever tried to open an M$ Access DB over a network share from a machine with a FQDN? You get a security error. You have to go into IE and change security settings there for M$ Access to be able to use that share:)..
I think website defacement and Linux security are 2 different issues all together. From my own experience any website that I have had defaced on me was because I failed to update 3rd party OSS packages. This had nothing to do with the security of of the operating system or the web server for that matter. It was only a security hole in one php script. This security hole was identified and patched rather quickly but I failed to apply the patch in a timely matter. But the rest of my websites were fine along with the rest of the services running on that box.
My opinion is that there are a lot of free / cheap web hosts out there running OSS and a lot of people publishing web pages and message boards using scripts that someone else wrote and not updating them.
I would like to see a comparison on the types web pages that were defaced and what was actually done, I bet most of them had nothing to do with operating system the website was running on.
I wonder how you would test it? They should ban this, I mean it might cause people to start killing each other just so they can see if the software really works.
How often do authorities find skulls? And how often do they need to know what that person looked like? I mean I would rather see a tool that could tell if a living person's skull was empty or not, now that I could see more of a use for. Unless of course you just assume that they are all pretty much empty, or at least non functional.
I wonder though, will this work with any skull, like a monkey skull? Or would it try to make the monkey look human?
I mean who doesn't? You get to keep current with all the latest new mini wireless cameras. This way you can create your own p0rn and not have to keep relying on the p0rn spam:)
I don't know about you, but I can spot a spam email a mile a way and delete it without every opening it. I also know which of my accounts gets the most amount of spam.
Now yes one of my email accounts is completely unusable, but I mean the account is heywood@jablowme.com, did I really expect this account to be useable.. no I did not.
And you can setup simple enough filtering rules on your client to get rid of most of the spam for you.
Its like seperating your snail mail everyday, only difference is at least you get to mail their reply cards back to them so it costs them money.
Before they become impossible to stop!

Did anyone else say what? to this comment? First of all let me say the only thing I see wrong with spam is that it chews up huge amounts of bandwidth and in appropriate material finds its way into the email boxes of minors.
As an adult spam does not bother me, and if I had young children, I would be monitoring their computer access, its called parenting, people should try it sometime instead of sitting the kids down in front of the TV or the computer.
I do not believe we need MORE legislation especially legislation written by people who are complete clueless when it comes to all things technical.
And if you think spammers will not move off shores think again, they will. Have you ever seen how much money is involved with that business? The cost of the hardware that they use? The amount of emails that they actually send? It would astound you. There are hardware based solutions strictly for spamming that can send untraceable emails at the rate of 10,000 emails per second. They can scan the Internet an automatically find open relays, they know what common mail servers incoming limits are, they rotate IPs automatically, everything soup to nuts.
This problem is definitely a technological one.
Open relays need to be found and shut down and blocked. Mis-configured mail servers and emails should be blocked and dropped.
I respect your opinion but I happen to know a little but about this and I could not disagree more.
We have enough laws, and we have too many useless ones a that. Spammers use advancements in technology to further businesses, why shouldn't we? That same statement applies to the music and movie industry as well.
This article made me laugh more then Mario Cantone on the Denis Leary roast. Who thinks this stuff? Colin Quinn should get this writer on the payroll for tough crowd.

I fail to see the problem here.
You could always run Win4Lin Terminal Services. Then you could run a linux server farm and still let users run their windows desktops. Then you could let them do what ever they want.

yes they do, I have one, panasonic makes it. It has everything except the multi-handset feature.
problem is, I own the correct spelling of the domain, and I get a ton of spam!! I just started bouncing it all.

I think BARE minimum is pushing it there. Its no wonder companies are outsourcing to India. $125/hr is like average to high market place.

Looks like they got all 261 file swappers.. now we can all breathe a little easier!!

I hope this doesn't hirt the stock price :(
I am thinking FOX smells a new reality TV series or at the very least a new ultiamte fighting series.
But seriously though it is pretty cool but I still can not help but think, when will we ever just acceot the fact that we get old and die?
how long before the desktop version is out?
