Intentional Vulnerability?

On: Microsoft Media Player "Security Patch" Changes EULA Big Time

I wonder if MS releases these exploits on purpose, in order to include a new, updated, restrictive, controlling EULA? Since they are the ones who see the source, they could make this easy. How else could all off their software have such silly exploits, and usually bundled with a pathetic EULA - the user must accept it, or get hacked.

Money

On: Personal Finance Software for Unix?

MS Money works via Wine also. It is not the best, but it does work. GnuCash still needs refinement. You'd think Intuit would release a Linux version of Quicken.

Trustworthy Computing

On: Don't Hit That Back Button

Yet another excellent example of MS's Trustworthy Computing initiative. Rather than quickly patch or even tell users to disable JS, they sit on their @ss, and half a year later, nothing has been done. There is no way to trust a company who is told of their mistakes, yet they do not fix them.

Open Source is the Way

While MS tells their customers (most of the world) that OSS is the devil, and stunts innovation, and is insecure, they continue to be BLASTED with vulnerabilities. They point the blame to the ones who attack MS, but OSS allows anyone to view it, which allows errors and vulnerabilities to be found. Why is is when MS releases a producct, they spend the next 5-10 years trying to fix the errors they should have fixed/found right away, before the damage is done? Enough is enough. OSS is the way!

They sell, I burn

On: AOL in Negotiations to Buy Red Hat?

If they sell out to AOL, I'm going to take all my Red Hat stuff and burn it.

You all know they'll make the software a gay as AOL 7.0.

AOL users can't even use that crappy software. What make AOL think their retarded users will understand an operating system designed for smart people?

I bought Red Hat 7.1 Dlx and Red Hat 7.2 because Red Hat is the symbol of commercial Liux. If they go, I go.
