I paid my own college by working at McDonalds on weekends. I graduated with no Debt! Didn't cost my parents much either (dad paid my car insurance which was a nice benefit, but that is all) I could have paid for everything from loans if I wanted to, but I hate debt so I made the choice to not graduate with any. Your daughter could too if she put her mind
Well, I did the same, except that: 1) My dad was unemployed during most of my studies 2) I didn't have to work much during my studies 3) I actually got money left at the end
How did I do it ? Very simple...
I grew up in a country(Switzerland) where the education system is not targeted towards the rich(can afford to pay) , the athletes(get scholarship to play golf, lucky ones !) and the geniuses(get scholarship also). It's a country where every kid has a chance, no matter how rich his parents are.
And maybe the screwed up education system in this country could take a lesson out of that, so that we end up with less teenagers in the streets, homeless or joining gangs. I can't believe how many of my friends here in Seattle are still paying the loans they got for their studies, they've been out of school for more than 5 years and have a decent job, but it's not sufficient !
Yeah, better keep them hidden, that way everybody believes that open source products are secure, and in the meantime black hats take advantage of the security holes to hack into thousands of servers or desktops !
You can stick your head in the sand if you want, but it won't make open source products more secure than they really are. The only way to have secure products is to find the holes so that they can be fixed.
Oh and I forgot, if you actually take the time to read and understand what WinFS is, you'll find out that it sits on top of NTFS, it's not part of it, you don't go through WinFS for every read/write access, and you can choose what data to store in WinFS and what data not to store in there.
Go read about the technology before talking shit, that might do you good.
Regarding your perl scripts with slocate, please do it, show us how you can do it in 15 minutes, and give us a good laugh ! But maybe you want to go understand what WinFS can do before you make a fool of yourself.
1) I saw WinFS in action a number of times 2) WinFS is _way_ more than the indexing engine currently present in Windows 3) WinFS can and will index the attributes of your file, with the end result that it can do what I described, and that it not only can, it already does
I'll mark your words, and I'll laugh at you, as much as I'm doing right now.
Hint2: I work for MS, I already saw more of WinFS than you ever will probably.
Sure, are they spread across the filesystem ? What about files where the filename doesn't indicate the author and it's located in an attribute ?
I'm not talking about single directories for files where all the info is in the filename where it's very easy since most filesystems index on the name.
Go spread your mp3s across dozens of directories, and try to find files where the data you're looking for is actually in the file instead of in the name of the file, you'll see how slow it is.
Stop dreaming, a regular filesystem can _not_ do what a database does, it's just not their job and they're not optimized for it, plain and simple.
NTFS5 is miles ahead of most Linux filesystems (reparse points, encryption, compression,... all supported transparently), only ReiserFS 4 comes close, and it's not yet in a usable state.
I'm wondering if you even know what WinFS is, comparing it to file and locate it laughable at best.
Try finding all mp3 by Brian Adams or Withney Houston on a 200Gb disk filled with 250'000 files with file and locate, you'll get the answer 10 minutes later.
With WinFS, it will take you a whooping 2 seconds maximum.
That is without talking about the user-defined attributes, etc... that make WinFS more powerful than anything of that kind on Linux.
Well, if you look at NTFS, it has one issue : fragmentation when the disk is near full capacity.
On the other hand, it already does almost everything ReiserFS 4 _promises_ to do, and with NTFS it actually works, tried in the real world, and can be trusted.
Small files aggregation : NTFS stores small files in the MFT directly Plugin : NTFS reparse points Encryption : there since ages etc..
Linux supports a lot of filesystems, but very few come close to NTFS when it comes to capabilities, scalability,...
Well, if you're not able to put more than 200-300 accounts on a server, you might as well want to learn how to use exchange, our org has 2500 accounts on a single server(well, a cluster of 2 for redundancy)
That's without talking about all the advantages of Exchange over postfix(meetings, tasks, OWA, etc...)
NT was running on PPC, MIPS, Alpha & x86 (as well as i860 but never got released) long before Linux even dreamt of running on multiple platforms as it was written for x86 only at the start.
People who know what they're talking about know that NT was designed to be portable, the concept of HAL that NT used since its birth just started appearing in Linux, wonder who's behind...
that's why Microsoft hasn't made an operating system to run on an apple computer, and has also stopped the flow of any apps that help to do so *ala, virtual pc*, even though apple's hardware is far superior.
VirtualPC for Mac can be purchased separately and will come bundled with Office.
IE is not part of the OS and has no say in the overall OS design. HTML rendering libraries are used throughout the OS(explorer, help,...), and these are part of IE, that doesn't make IE a part of the OS, IE uses these rendering libraries like any other app.
Same for ActiveX, this is an IE thing, the OS has nothing to do with ActiveX.
That is a lie. They have not engaged in aggression against any country. In contrast, several nations on Israel's borders have attacked it for no other reason than "wipe out Jews".
They occupy territories gained in th 1967 war, which was started by Israel(they call it preventive or whatever, fact is, they started it)
Also, just wondering, what would you think if people started coming on your land, with the intent of creating their own country on your land ?
Can you come up with one example where the U.S. was not retaliating? Probably not.
1) The Russians would have volatilized you too, you might want to check what their nuclear arsenal looked like, you'll be surprised 2) India already has nuclear weapons and proved it 3) China has nuclear weapons since more than 20 years 4) These 3 countries don't really give a damn about what's happening in the Middle East, they're not involved at any level and have never been in any of the previous middle eastern wars.
India and Pakistan have been on brink of war last year with hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the border of each side, and nothing happened. Nobody wants to fire a nuclear weapon simply because they don't want to face the nuclear reprisals.
Yes, but when you take into account how many people actually replace the OS on a newly bought server with another one, the number is not significant compared to the total number, that's why this statistic is valid.
Servers are not like desktops, they're not all delivered with Windows installed, you have a large choice between no OS, Linux, Windows, those who choose one OS usually keep the OS.
1) It's not obscure anymore 2) You don't know how many persons used this exploit to take over Linux servers 3) You don't know how many Linux servers were taken over by this exploit 4) Yes, When an exploit hits Windows, it hits many more machines, because there's many more Windows boxes than Linux 5) You obviously have missed all the remote exploits affecting tons of server software on Linux this year(openssh, apache, etc...), any of these could lead to owning the whole machine when used with this local exploit

WinFS exists and already runs, as opposed to your "more open, more robust, more Free and better" solutions which currently don't do much.
:)
As for Briand Adams & Whitney, well, I decline responsibility, I swear, I don't have a single CD or mp3 of these people

Check your facts
Use runas, launch processes with different users, and watch
IE is not part of the OS and has no say in the overall OS design. HTML rendering libraries are used throughout the OS(explorer, help,...), and these are part of IE, that doesn't make IE a part of the OS, IE uses these rendering libraries like any other app.
Same for ActiveX, this is an IE thing, the OS has nothing to do with ActiveX.
What does the "My computer zone" feature has to do with the OS itself ?
NOTHING, this is an IE related feature.
The numerous security holes in MS products are a result of bad design, not merely a mistake or two
Dare to explain why they are bad design and not coding mistakes in Windows case ?
That is a lie. They have not engaged in aggression against any country. In contrast, several nations on Israel's borders have attacked it for no other reason than "wipe out Jews".

Laos, Grenada, Panama, Iraq,...
You just missed a number of facts.
1) The Russians would have volatilized you too, you might want to check what their nuclear arsenal looked like, you'll be surprised
2) India already has nuclear weapons and proved it
3) China has nuclear weapons since more than 20 years
4) These 3 countries don't really give a damn about what's happening in the Middle East, they're not involved at any level and have never been in any of the previous middle eastern wars.

Since entmag.com doesn't like direct links, go to http://news.com.com/2100-7344-5088233.html , same numbers.
Yep : http://www.entmag.com/news/article.asp?EditorialsI D=5984
55% for Windows
23% for Linux
The server market is extremely small compared to the desktop market, and Windows owns the desktop market.
...
Windows also has a much bigger chunk of the server market than Linux.
Linux is around 20-25%, Windows is at more than 50%, both are growing, at the expense of the old Unix versions like Solaris, AIX,
1) It's not obscure anymore
2) You don't know how many persons used this exploit to take over Linux servers
3) You don't know how many Linux servers were taken over by this exploit
4) Yes, When an exploit hits Windows, it hits many more machines, because there's many more Windows boxes than Linux
5) You obviously have missed all the remote exploits affecting tons of server software on Linux this year(openssh, apache, etc...), any of these could lead to owning the whole machine when used with this local exploit
Hint: I work for Microsoft, in the Windows division.
This is blatantly false.
Microsoft has NEVER said its next operating system would only run on Trusted Computing hardware, and I know for a fact that this is NOT the case.
Longhorn will run on normal PCs like we have today.
For sure.
Once you make legal what was previously illegal, it's not a violation anymore.
That's what people are complaining about.
