Hah I assure you I do understand that distinction. I guess you missed the [flame] tags. I was showing the mods what a flame really is in the form of a biased uninformed statement. As the P was modded as such when I posted, when clearly he should not have been.
However, you bring up an important point:
Pick your reason - better security model, faster TTF (time to fix), smaller marketshare - the thing is there are no viruses in teh wild to catch right now. That may change but that's how it is currently and has been for years.
those that aren't aware of this or familiar with security and such, would have no idea about any of these reasons, only that Macs don't get viruses like the commercials tell you, nothing for them to worry about... and it has been my experience they climb to the highest point of their cubicle to shout it for all to hear in their holy than thou attitude regardless of wether or not the people listening even run windows or have more of a clue of what's really going on in their cute lil mac box than they do.
sheesh, I guess the apple fanboys have mod points today. This is hardly Flamebait, more aptly insight.
because we're trying to do two diametrically opposed things at once--provide an advanced and open platform to developers while at the same time protect iPhone users from viruses, malware, privacy attacks, etc. This is no easy task.
[flame]but, but, but! Apple can't get viruses? They say so in the commercials![/flame]
eh... i just like to rhyme in karma whoring FPs. But I'll give it a try:
Corporation X does something illegal in Country Y, knowing full well that they wouldn't pull Shit Y in the states or EU, or at least they would attempt to hide it better and be able to greater distance themselves from it with more peons, because:
A) They know it will make them loads of extra money until caught.
B) When caught they will settle for a fine low enough to make their existential greedy frolicking worth while.
Privacy, the environment, economic, social, political ideologies, morals and ethics... many avenues of exploition for them to trample down for a quick buck.
"Damn, imagine if we weren't direct shipping to clients and had to pay taxes on the real value of all this shit!"

In raids that began Tuesday, 650 police and tax agents executed 93 search warrants and arrested 40 people involved in the alleged scheme set up by Brazilian businessmen to benefit the U.S. company, the AP reported, citing a statement from Brazil's federal police.
Goods were shipped from tax havens like Panama, the Bahamas and the British Virgin islands to Brazilian clients to avoid local taxes, and the value of the products was underestimated, the AP report said.
The investigation by Brazilian authorities began two years ago, according to the AP report.

Obviously, criminal activities aren't marketed in the open...seen any adverts for Drugs recently (yes the good fun kind, not the prescriptions they shove down your throat)...not saying I know for sure, but I think people can still get them.
Regardless of whether governments are using so-called anti-terrorist measures to control the population or not, they do not seem to be effective measures
While I hardly agree with the majority of measures taken since 9/11, when's the last time someone hijacked a plane and flew it into a building?

"Clients SHOULD treat a 552 code in this case as a temporary, rather than permanent"
I think the important part is the longevity that this filter is in place. Does anyone have any first documented cases with a nice time stamp?
I am not one to defend MS, but sometimes shit happens, if they are providing a correct code to identify a temporary action, then the clients should react appropriately with a next queue. However, I don't know how I would feel if they did this on purpose, logged were all those 522s were sent, then blocked the top 90% offending hosts without cause or reason lifting the temporary 10 recipient 522 rejection...

Several people have reported a work-around, which can be achieved by setting the max_rcpt of the SMTP transport to 10 or less. This method worked for Old, but he said it has the potential to consume significantly more bandwidth, a limitation that is sure to hurt legitimate senders but have much less of an effect on spammers, who don't pay for their internet service.
The last time we spoke with a Hotmail official, we learned that of the 5 billion emails sent to its users each day, about 4.5 billion of them, or a whopping 90 percent, were spam. Clearly, unsolicited email is a problem that warrants a tough response from Microsoft.
This is what kills me about the net neutrality argument, do analysts just need another figure of loss to dream up? With all the illegitimate abuses of bandwidth out there, fingers are going to start being pointed. Granted email didn't used to take up that much of a percentage of global traffic, but with the inclusion of pdf, jpgs and other attachments in the spammers arsenal, as well as zombie botneted PCs in the millions...
He did not say specifically that Microsoft will not be issuing an IE patch. Instead, Diorinos pointed out that Protected Mode in IE7 in Windows Vista provides some additional protection when a user clicks on Application URL Protocol links.
This means that Vista users running IE gets a roadblock that reads:
"A website wants to open web content using this program on your computer"
However, Windows customers running IE 7 on Windows XP get no such warning.
This doesn't mean IE7 on Vista in "protected mode" is OK! Only that it will warn you before it rapes you. Nowhere does it say it is protected against the attack.
One idea behind this vulnerability as well, is that you are going to want to open that.pdf file you just clicked on... like:
"Niiice... looky here, Best_Magical_Brownie_Recipe.pdf, silly Vista, of course I want to open web content using this program on my computer, its Adobe!"
Plus... this is for a medical marijuana vote... I'm sure it was tough enough for supporters to make it to the polls the first time! Who imagines they'd actually remember when the revote will be...
Depends on the point of entry into where the domain is hosted. "Sure you can point the authoritive NS's to some black hole", as the hacker did to point them to porn, goatse is a black hole. But seeing as how they took out more than just web servers, static routes could be propagated through the arp tables of core routers causing oblivion to where the Name Servers results are sending requests...
I don't know exactly how what happened, but obviously they didn't handle it well.
"We don't for sure have the whole picture, but as we understand it, there was some event at the Transportation Authority of Marin Country where their site got hacked," Hanacek told me this afternoon. Traffic was being redirected from that site to one featuring pornography.
A department within the U.S. General Services Administration in Washington oversees and polices the.gov domain.
"The federal government saw this incorrect use of ca.gov and they made a change at a much more global level than probably was necessary and it started taking down all of our ca.gov domain," says Hanacek. "That impacted Web access and e-mail services."
Damn... all this because someone pointed their IP surveillance camera at the nude beach across the street.
Hah yeah.. I know what you mean and see exactly where you are coming from. Gotta toss in some trollish humor every once in a while though... picturing where Michael Jackson gets the Jesus Juice was something noone should ever have to visualize, ever again though...
The FCC responded to the report saying that it feels its processes are always open and transparent and that Chairman Kevin Martin is looking for ways to make the commissions workings even more transparent and open.
Of course they feel that way. I feellike I should get a million dollars for this post. That doesn't make it happen.
The GAO obviously feels like they are not transparent, as the report indicates. How bout some actual accountability from the Government Accountability Office now? What are they going to do about it?
The whole thing is a PR stunt, just like having their little whores show up on/. every once in a while to explain to use how Redmond really does love us.
You must be new here, or don't swing by too often...every once in a while!?
even el lobotomy posts much more than that...and when you can understand what he's saying, most certainly seems MS shillish... but eh, to each their own right?
It's a big corporation, and all the parts aren't always working in the same direction, so don't throw down on the people who make stereo equipment, and the DVD-W's you're using to flawlessly copy movies, just because the music people are douchebags
Umm... no thats the exact reason to "throw down" on those people who make stereo equipment with contradiction to what the douchbags at Sony BMG say. These asshats need to be leashed in and one way is totally holding the rest of the corporation accountable. When they don't have their head up their asses, they reply to one thing, and one thing only: money.
Speak with your wallets and speak to the shareholders; across the board.
Sony execs should be self-policing their other divisions, period.

illegal for recreational use... I could be wrong, but oxycotin is considered illegal as well if you do not have a prescription.
I don't know exactly how what happened, but obviously they didn't handle it well.
Well articulated, a point that needs to be stressed more.
doesn't sound like they deleted it to me, more like they routed it to nowhere, and propagated that route across the network and root DNS servers...
