As for this virus thingy, please explain to me how Monad is more dangerous than Bash.
I can extremely easily write in Bash a script that : a) look for bash scripts on the system b) Modify them to include the virus in them c) Do whatever malicious thing I want
Monad is just the vector of the virus, you can write the virus in C, C++, Bash, Monad,...
Please next time read before saying something stupid
There are similar ways to do it for XEmacs and other editors, all less practical and efficient than the VS implementation. Not being context sensitive is simply unacceptable for example. When you start using namespaces, many classes,... it's simply essential.
Regarding This is the power of a programmable editor. If there's a feature you want, you can add it. If there's a feature you want to change, you can modify it. If there's a misfeature, you can get rid of it.
Go take a look at what Visual Studio can do, you will see many features(incredibly powerful Intellisense being only one of them) that will save you time and sweat.
This message provided courtesy of a programmer who used to be big fan of XEmacs et. all until he discovered what Visual Studio(and other good IDEs) can do.

Who are you defending in Europe ?
Germany ? France ? UK ? Italy ? Spain ?
France and the UK have enough nuclear weapons to wipe out USSR _or_ USA , Mirage 2000 and Rafale fighters regularly kick the F-18 and F-15's ass during RedFlag exercises, german Leopard 2 is rated as high as the Abrams M1, etc... they don't need US protection, they just decided that having an overblown military was not needed.
10'000 people with a 256K/s bandwidth equal approximately a bandwidth of 2.56Gb/s , there's no way spammers can slow down something that huge and distributed.
That's the big advantage of distributed DoS, you can't really fight back.
Lets face it... If the open source community cannot even parse simple PNGS without leaving a security hole why the hell do they claim to be better than Microsoft ?
If you actually knew what you're talking about, you'd know that the JPEG format is definitely not the easiest file format to support, and you'd also know that coding mistakes can happen everywhere, as witnessed daily in the open source community.
So instead of going on an unjustified rant against MS because of something that happen daily everywhere, just chill out.
It's clear to me that Windows, Office and other related Microsoft products are simply unrepairable. And I don't buy that arguement that it's because they've got the biggest market share that these problems are made known. If that's the case, then how come Apache with over 60% of the market and millions of installations is not fraught with as many defects as Microsoft products?
Go compare the number of vulnerabilities in IIS6 and Apache 2, you'll be very surprised.
I bet fucking grass is even greener over there and everyone gets up in the morning with the solemn promise to leave the world a better place at the end of the day.
Nope, they just consider that you're not allowed to invade another country without a valid reason, something the US government doesn't understand it seems.
As for this oldtimer fighting for their freedom, yep he did, like the french helped you get your independance.
You are so fucking diverse than in fact you just admited that everyone over there agreed that war was wrong.
No, 15% of the people disagreed.
Yet in this "not so diverse" US there was a huge debate regarding merits of this action with multiple points of view being discussed.
Huge debate among whom ? The mainstream media didn't push at all the dissenting opinion, they had to go through street protests to be heard and the opposing side kept calling them "unpatriotic", you call that a debate ?
Ah, it is matter of Europeans being simply intelectually more capable of understanding longterms of US policy.
No, it's a matter of Europe having more open media outlets
What the fuck are you doing in my country then ?
Ask your fellow citizens, they asked me to come help them and pay me quite a lot for it.
Go fuck yourself.
I thought about it, but then my girlfriend proposed to help.
Ah well, you don't need to. Holding money for every darn dictator and criminal on this plannet certainly will provide handsome income.
Not all of them, Bush doesn't have swiss accounts as far as I know
Yeah, but what happens in US affects EU economy in much more significant ways then the other way around.
Nope, the EU has more diverse economic partnerships that USA, if EUUSA exchanges stopped tommorrow, the US economy would suffer way more, because they sell _a lot_ to the EU, more than the EU sells to USA
We have enough resources and power to do anything we want.
Dream on, my coworkers who are now in Iraq do not agree with you, they were much more happy being with their family here. Same for all these american children who will have to pay the enormous deficit caused by this war. Moreover, if you had enough resources and power, you wouldn't have crawled back to the UN asking for help. Face it, your government had its eyes bigger than its stomach and USA is now paying the price, both in lives and financially(did you see how expensive gas has been lately ? Did you congratulate Bush for his record breaking deficit ?)
Have you ever thought about a distinct possibilty that it is you who is stuck in the sand ?
I actually lived on both sides of the Atlantic, watch both news media, know a lot of american and european people, and know about what's happening on both sides. I know who has his head in the sand, and it's not me...
That's not true and that's the big difference with USA.
In Europe, the newspapers & TV were reporting BOTH views : the US/UK view, and the european(french/swiss/german/....) one, something which was sorely lacking in USA.
Switzerland for example had very little financial interest in Iraq, yet >90% of the people opposed the war.
If you look at the UK and Spain, where the government supported the war, the people also were opposed to the war, the UK population only started supporting the war _after_ it started, because they supported the troops.
Keep in mind that in most of Europe, people receive the BBC, CNN and often NBC Europe also and most people understand english, yet, they were all opposed to the war. Me, I'm in USA since 4 years, and like many people in this country I also opposed it, for the same reason as the people in Europe, yet, I heard both points of view.
It's not a matter of brainwashing, the media in Europe is way too diverse for that, partly because the countries are smaller than USA and thus you always get media from outside the country, it's sadly not the same in USA, very few media give enough time to dissenting opinions from outside USA.
That's partly true, France certainly had economical interests in Iraq and it played a role in the government's decisions. Now, if you look at what the _people_ wanted in France/Germany/... you'll see that they all refused a US invasion and they didn't refuse it for these economical reasons, they refused it because they considered that it was ethically wrong.
1) I'm not french, and my country isn't even part of the EU, bad luck 2) If you look at economical exchanges, you'll find out that you're wrong, the EU has enormous economical impact of the US economy 3) France put you in a bad situation in Iraq as already explained, so yes, they have leverage outside of the EU, it's proven 4) You should think about removing your head from the sand and look at the world, it's way different than you think.
No, what you don't understand is that France's opinion(which blocked the UN resolution) caused most of the world to not send troops to Iraq, thus putting the burden on the US army.
The financial and human cost of the Iraq war was aggravated by France's refusal to follow USA.
As for USA being able to do whatever it wants, that's a nice dream. USA can do whatever it wants as long as the EU doesn't care. If the EU were to impose economical sanctions against USA, the US economy would crumble to a halt as it depends much more on exports to the EU than the EU depends on exports to the US. Same thing for military action, the USA doesn't have the power to invade even France without suffering very heavy casualties(that's without saying that the Germans would help the french, as well as many other european countries) and they can't use nuclear threats either as France has enough nukes to wipe out USA also.
You live in your small world(namely USA) and don't realize that US's dominance is mostly effective against small/poor nations, not against the rich and big european ones.
In case you haven't realized, your government was quite pissed at France's decision to block the UN resolution against Iraq.
Proof that it actually gives a shit, because that caused USA a lot of problems in order to get non-US forces in Iraq, and it still does.
What's the percentage of non-US forces in Iraq ? 10% ? Are the US happy about that ? Nope...
I have people in my own company who are now in Iraq(reservists) because of Bush's idiocy, and they ain't coming back anytime soon because Bush didn't listen to what France had to say and thus almost no real army besides UK is helping USA, so yes, France's and the EU's actions actually have a big impact on american lives.
Now, you can try to convince yourself of the opposite, but it won't bring the boys back home any faster. Only getting european support(and thus UN support) would have.
Actually as a native french speaker living in Seattle, I read/watch US/Swiss/French/UK media and the US media is the least trustful media by far.
If you actually read the french press, you'll find out that it is way more critical of the french government than any US media outlet is of the US government.
Besides, your comment about communists controlling the unions is stupid, France has been under a right-wing government for a number of years now, not a government the communists would support. Moreover, the ELF scandal has been written about widely in the french press, at some point there wasn't a day without an article on TV or in the big newspapers(Le Monde, Liberation...)
You'd better go check again your sources about French media, it's light years ahead of US media when it comes to being free of pressure groups.
And Yahoo will lose one of its biggest markets, what a great idea !
BTW, you might not realize it, but most european countries have the same type of laws as France, so Yahoo would end up losing the whole european market, I'm quite sure they'd prefer to ban Nazi stuff instead of losing half of their market.
Bad luck, the usual US bullying that work with small countries doesn't work with France and the EU, they're too big, you'll have to live with other people's opinions for a change
What about students in poor neighbourhoods ? Where would they find jobs to pay for their studies ? They would have to move ? Then they'd have to pay more than other students(rent, trips to go see their families from time to time,...), they wouldn't have a fair chance. What about black students in southern states where it is known that they have a harder time finding a job than white students ?...
No, the solution is that the government must ensure that all children have the means to study.

Compare the latest versions of IIS and Apache, count the number of vuln. You'll change your mind.
Switzerland has been a democracy for a few hundred years now, way before USA was created.
It hasn't been solved decades ago, proof is that every major OS today still has these issues.
If you use managed code(Java, c#,...) you can avoid them, but none of the existing OSes uses that for performance reasons.
Which explains why Windows / IE / ... have more known vulnerabilities, exactly my point.
Feel free to also compare the severity of the flaws between IIS6 and Apache 2.
There's a simple fact, and this fact is that IIS6 had less vulnerabilities than Apache 2, and they were less severe.
Lets face it ... If the open source community cannot even parse simple PNGS without leaving a security hole why the hell do they claim to be better than Microsoft ?
If you actually knew what you're talking about, you'd know that the JPEG format is definitely not the easiest file format to support, and you'd also know that coding mistakes can happen everywhere, as witnessed daily in the open source community.

Go to securityfocus.com, they track vulnerabilities reports.
It's clear to me that Windows, Office and other related Microsoft products are simply unrepairable. And I don't buy that arguement that it's because they've got the biggest market share that these problems are made known. If that's the case, then how come Apache with over 60% of the market and millions of installations is not fraught with as many defects as Microsoft products?
Go compare the number of vulnerabilities in IIS6 and Apache 2, you'll be very surprised.
1) Go get the relevant hotfix for it (kb813056) from MS support : http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb; en-us;813056
2) Go to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ Services\TcpIp\Parameters and add the reg key TCPFinWait2Delay
3) Set the reg key value to the appropriate delay you want
