Data: Captain.. Sensors are picking up localized pockets of Upnp activity in subspace transmissions.
Picard: Geordi, can we triangulate the originating source?
Geordi: Yes sir, it's coming from a planetary system 15 light years from our present location. Long range sensors indicate it is...
Picard: Yes, I know... Microsoft...
Picard: All hands, yellow alert. Data, set a course for the source of the transmissions. All hands, to battlestations. Worf, put us to red alert upon enterting the system. We don't want another Code Red Incident. And send out a subspace communication to the Federation, all ships, all systems.. We have engaged Microsoft..
Worf: Yes Captain.
Picard: Data, we did test our monthly Microsoft patches on the first Tuesday of the month, correct.
Data: Negative Captain. Unfortunately, there were exploits in the wild which take advantage of the weaknesses in the Upnp service installed on the ship's computer, and the Federation threat level was raised, so we did not test them.
Picard: Damn Microsoft. Alright, let's be careful. We don't know yet what we're dealing with. Maximum Warp! Engage!
Tell me this.. Do you think you'll have a choice to drive your 65 Cadillac when there isn't any more oil left to refine? We're on the virge of a peak oil crisis, yet asshats like you believe you look cool driving an ancient, inefficient, rustbucket.
Hats off to you tho.. I couldn't have made an ass of myself any better than what you did to yourself in that post.
I believe tofu is a waste of money. Thus far, there is little proven benefit to its bland taste and the risks seem to greatly outweigh the gains. Is it important to venture into that aisle in the supermarket? I have no clue. Is it important to maintain the fate of the nation? Absolutely! Are there billions of tax dollars spent on tofu projects that culminate in little to no tangible results and / or benefit? Yes! Do the math...
How about you RTFA, this is not Sedna. This object was discovered by the same group that discovered Sedna in 2004. According to my calendar, it's 2005.
Why is it alright for MS to spread FUD about the overall stability of Linux as a whole? Yet, the MS police come out as soon as I share a piece of personal experience.
In all seriousness, this article to begin with was FUD, and my initial post was as well. But, on a whole, my company has the unique experience of running a completely MS environment except for back end datastores and application support. But you cannot put.NET server on a pedestal in an article based on bashing Linux by MS itself.
I'm terribly sorry. From my experience running Windows 2003 server on 38 HP blade racks, I would have no idea what I am talking about.
All jokes aside, SP1 broke my fibre network card teaming drivers, and I had to wait for HP to release a SP1 compatible driver. But of course, I wouldn't know what I'm talking about, right?
Windows 2003? That breaks when you install it? Or breaks when you apply a hotfix? Or breaks when you reboot it? (blue screens and dumps) Or breaks when you add new hardware? Or... Well... You get the idea..
So you were going to ship it originally.. You made arrangements to have buyer pick it up... TAKE CASH IN PERSON... wtf.. that's rule #1. The whole reason for PayPal is to be an escrow service to guarantee sellers ship the items..
When they come to your door, you threw all your protections out the window.

So I guess a Tidal Tsunami wave washing up on Silicon Valley wouldn't impact you much, now would it? Balderdash, indeed.
Regardless, my curiosities are in how the tsunami warning system works. Aside from obscure and inacurate television updates, no one seemed to know if there was a tsunami generated. I thought we had an early warning system in place that could detect a potential tsunami instead of scaring everyone.
... then you don't need any security updates. Really. Lots of business desktops don't need full Internet access.
Now tell me what use is a computer that does not sit on a network? Even if the subnet is segmented from any active internet gateway, there are still huge risks involved. How about we get back to task, and try and come up with a system that will satisfy small business? This caveman thinking of unplugging the rj45 and you're safe is just plain retarded.
Hello, would you like to buy some premium volcano insurance. Uh, we live in New England. There hasn't been a volcano here for like 50 million years. Then you're a little over due for one, wouldn't you say? Touche, Salesman
Damn straight!! I don't want the government deciding what's right and wrong for my children. That should be up to me and my spouse and only me and spouse. Keep the government the hell away from our's and our children's private lives and what we watch, play, read or listen to for entertainment.
You must not get out much, hey? it's 2004.. You missed the tinfoil hat parade about 7-10 years ago.
But stay quiet for 10 years, offer no licensing options, and then file suit? No -- this isn't a defense, this is an attempt to torpedo their competitors.
Uhm.. RFTA... Please.. You save all of us the headache of reading your misinformed posts.
Honeywell has licensing options. LG and Samsung, hello? I am behind Honeywell. They are not a company known for their team of lawyers. Rather, they have patents on physical technology, and patents that actually make sense. I know everyone knows what I am getting at.
You are abviously an idiot. The OWNER cannot lay down a use of property term such as no WiFi. And even if he did, he is in the wrong via FCC regulations which are enforcable by law. So your whole argument is moot.
You argue that that you shouldn't move into a place if the landlord places such a restriction in writing, in your tenancy agreement.
Having a stipulation in the agreement that disallows WiFi on the premises, is null and void. There is no argument to it. You, as a tenant, certainly have the right to place a radio signal transmitting device, which has been approved by the FCC, for unregulated bands. Whether your landlord likes it or not. He cannot overrule the FCC regulations, and if he's being a prick, take him to court and make a few bucks off the asshole.
So please, if you don't understand law, regulations, and their effect on society, please refrain from such bastarded comments.
Sorry about that outlast man.. heh i guess my music is a touchy subject.. I hear you, there's music I can tolerate as background noise, and music i enjoy intensely and know the words by heart.
In addition to that I'd like to see how much they actually pay attention to the music they're listening to.
Now, let me get this straight.. You want to know who pays attention to their music? I use music in many differernt ways.. Form of relaxation, a nice beat to drive to, and for the message that comes across in a song...
Now what you are saying, is that everyone must pay attention to the music they listen to? What if I wanna just melt into my couch after work, listening to The Temptations? I don't have to pay attention to it. Please choose your words and battles more carefully.
People, as a society, will use music in any way they see fit for themselves. I just respect those who pay for what they like.

Can we go back to calling it Longhorn? Seriously, Vista still draws up images of a Pinto being rear ended and exploding due to a faulty gas tank.
I think the threat level was raised to blue...
