So we decided to replace something that isn't broken with something that arguably is broken.
Author would appear to be VERY inexperienced. Does he understand the flexibility of the current init system vs. the very rigid and inflexible one he has proposed?
Oh well, I'm sure he'll have fun writing it, even if only deployed by the younger set.
An example of the youth's inexperience, Seth Nickell states "The whole runlevels concept is confusing and cumbersome, even for most (not all, but most) sysadmins." This is absolutely FALSE. I teach Unix at a local college and my only comment is that perhaps some people like to believe that init is "cumbersome" and some may actually say so because they never bothered to learn it, but even students in my INTRODUCTION TO UNIX class FULLY comprehend Unix runlevels.
In my Systems Administration class we use runlevels (which define the operational state for Unix, what daemons get run, etc.) to create our own kiosk runlevel.
Runlevels are easy, flexible (much more so than Seth's "replacement").
Microsoft is always promising a delivery. Next virus in 30 days.. we'll see. Probably will be late AGAIN!! Granted, they seem to be doing better, but COME ON guys!!
Don't even get me talking about Linux viruses.
The most damaging lines in Linux kernel code...

As SCO has said, the ability to run SCO binaries is certainly an issue.... this link proves the point, as much of Linux appears to contain code that looks like:

Existence is just a set of infinite points of time; it is the human in us that says that if the son of X goes back in time and he kills X, then the son must "disappear." In contemporary theory, this is not so.
Real scientists however don't toss around terms like "theory" when they actually mean "fiction" or at best... and it's a stretch in this case, "hypothesis".
We now live in a world where fiction has become science.... sad, but true. Hand me a wheel chair and a touch pad and a few episodes of SSTNG... and I'm a SCIENTIST!! Sad... very, very sad.
Since WEP 40/128 provide NO security at the high layer... people feel they're getting something with WPA (most won't run the required auth/radius server though.. so it's even worse).
Layer 2 is still open. You'll have to wait until next year when the 11i crew comes out with something.
As for a resource, use Dr. Arbaugh's new book on the subject. http://www.amasin.com/-/0321136209/Real- 802-11-Sec urity/
...well.. it's not out yet apparently... anyway, google for Arbaugh.
[Seoul] After the successful air drop campaign used over Iraq, the US Army is at it again. This time, North Korea.
"Out Windows 2K drop last year was very effective in desimating the enemy's computer usage.", a senior officer was overheard saying. "Now, armed with the extra potent power of WinXP, N. Korea should fall in half of the time."
Microsoft also supports the idea. "WinXP is simply more robust than Windows 2000. It's a perfect deployment."
The results of the air drop will take time admittedly, "but we can wait for the shock and awe of WinXP... they won't know what hit em." When asked why they didn't go with the even heavier Windows 2003 Server, he replied, "It just wasn't ready yet. Once we've seen it in action and can be assured of its potential for devestation, it will certainly be added to our arsenal."
Initial figures for the arial bombardment are expect to be around $471 million.
... how about a subject line that has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ARTICLE...
Here's another subject for you: Slashdot Loves Microsoft and Urges Mass Migration Away from Linux
That subject has equal validity. I'd post an article about the reason spoons hang on the noses of all phsyics teachers with that subject line... but I fear you'd actually put it on the front page.

If you check the redhat fedora site, you'll notice that things like mplayer and such ARE NOT listed in the packages list.

Use it to launch the BFG 9000 anti-terrorism cannon!
Have you tried changing your username to something like soccertaco or something like that?
HAHAHAHAHA Take that Microsoft!
... Intel. That would certainly solve many of their problems.
But sendmail is generally a MTA (it's a poor MUA) while Outlook is a MUA.. Exchange is the MTA used under Windows.
So.. a better comparison is to compare the number of flaws inside of Unix mail or mailx vs. Outlook under Windows.
Run Windows Update.... it now has an antivirus patch which removes all GPL and LGPL software from your system. Ain't that nice and tidy!!
I'm not going to use it until feature complete!!

Bin Laden: What about Monica?
Sadaam: No Monica, either... err... wait, what's that sound...
Bin Laden: Oh no... it's not.... KABOOOMMM!!
Not very much I bet, if a chipset could set chips.

Subject line is a TOTAL misrepresentation of the article. It's not even close.

What no link? No URL? I live to slashdot!! Imagine a beowulf cluster of hits to your website!
That's really not too bad of a failure rate I guess.
