Actually its the opposite. Microsoft's idea of security would be like my worst effort as a coder. The fact that I've only been in school for programming for 2years says something. There code is full of holes, they offer little information as they tend to cover up a lot of things, and they tell users to "use firewalls" as opposed to having a secure system. Garbage, and for anyone who thinks otherwise (aka. Anonymous Coward - above) they are the naive ones. Also to say they get 99.9999% of attention from virus,trojan,worm, spam and backdoor writers is a little crazy as well. Considering for each successful hack on things like apache (an alternative to IIS by microsoft) its safe to say the hours to find and exploit these bugs were at least 2x those spent on the microsoft product.
My friend called me yesterday and said "Spl0it set your ActiveX controls in IE to off, my brother clicked on a picture on the upstairs computer and a virus screwed up his computer and mine because we were on the same network both running XP" -- I guess he should have a firewall for all computers in his house? at least according to MS he should.
Are you ignorant? The movie isn't going to show you every fucking detail. I mean lets be honest if they did that it would be at least 10hours long if not more along the lines of 10-20days per movie.
My link to michael moore had nothing to do with the story. Not to mention its talking about the movie in which people call it made up. It clearly is not and ignorant american's demonstrate this everyday with your above statement.
They smuggled it into the vault, I think its pretty obvious, if they can get 2 guys, and a guy inside a box, you don't thinkg another box or the one he was in or whatever had the stuff in them????
Um, they carried them out dressed like a swat team, and they had pre-filled the van or 'bags' before. Not to mention they used a remote control system to drive the van there. Are you ok?
I get plenty of US television broadcast and perhaps it doesn't happen in every case, but I've seen lots of evidence of it happening. IE. Car accident, sued for XXX million because they will 'suffer' for life. Why do you think you've had doctors striking for the cost of mal-practice insurance? After all the cost wouldn't be soo high if so many law suits were not in the millions.
While your theory is interesting it would and could only apply to a small area of the body, and drinking untreated water would probably lead to other serious infections and disease.
The reason why is if you read above you would have seen that the virus that can be found in 70%-100% of humans is "confined to the respiratory or gastrointestinal systems in the body" therefore while it may heal your lungs, your heart, or brain would still be at risk.:)
You must be an american, here in canada people don't get $500million for say, spilling hot coffee on their own leg, etc.. Not to mention no family here would sue if a 'last-measure-shot-in-the-dark' didn't work. Also no judge would give any family in this situation XXXX million dollars. If you guys wants to see something interesting, find CBC's Talking to American's... its a shame how ignorant the US is. I like lots of things about the US but lets be realistic alot needs to be changed.
I'm willing to bet against that figure you 'pulled out of thin air'. I've had a 'private' email address which I don't advertise for over 2years now and just recently I've started to receive spam. Both types of spam I'm getting are virus from infected pc's. As well both are coming in usually one-two times a day, not to mention my isp failed to provide any assitance what so ever even though most of the emails are coming from there users.
I had plenty of problems installing debian the first time. Recently that computers power supply fan died, causing a slew of problems, amongst them was the unfixable damage to the filesystem (excessive heat to all hearddrives in the system). I tried to install debian again, and well I was surprised and disappointed that the system was still using the one that I 'preceived' to be old 2years earlier when I installed it. After carful consideration and some input from users online I chose to give knoppix a try. What can I say it kicks ass.. I was very impressed, I have a few complaints but all those are (I believe) simple configuration issues present in most 'testing' systems. (IE. starting in german, even after its been installed with lang=us):)
None the less, if you want that auto configuration so many people have been whining about, oh and the up2date service... just checkout knoppix, its built right ontop of the debian framework. It has autoconfiguration, it can boot from the cd or the hd, allowing you to try it before formatting or making any new partitions and apt-get (from debian) is part of knoppix allowing users to update whenever they want, no service charges of course. Check it out.
Uh, perhaps I missed something but my non-published email has been getting 1-3 spams a day where before all this virus crap I was receiving zero! Its hard for me to retionalize spam is dieing when my hotmail account also seems to be filling up faster (junk box) and more spam (aprox. 4 per day) seem to be getting through all the filters.
Losing Weight != In Shape != Healthy

Losing weight is great, but if you've been lazy and un-active to gain those 50-100-150-200lbs then your extremely out of shape, and not healthy. Losing that weight is great for your body, especially your heart, but if you don't go to the gym or play sports regularly then losing that weight will only change your image not the health damage you may have incurred from gaining the losing a significant amount of weight. Remember losing weight is only 75% of the battle, now that you don't weigh so much and you are able to 'run' you should or else your not 'back' in shape, your just skinner. Once your back in shape you will be able to enjoy more sports and other various activities which will then re-shape your lifestyle to include activities that will help you keep that weight off for the rest of your life.
IANAL but in US law isn't there some sort of penalties for filing false lawsuits?? As far as I know a company cannot make rediculous claims in new lawsuits all the time or in continuing lawsuits without some sort of proof/basis. Perhaps I'm wrong, but if I am wrong, your legal system sucks.
Shipping open source on computers will cost the consumer..uh NOTHING? since open source software solutions are free. Therefore if they really want micrsoft, they can pop in the XP Cd when they get the computer and fire it up. What a sad choice that would be.:)
Have the companies send them a voucher or 'special id' that lets them get X product from any retail outlet. Then the hardware reviewers can pickup there stuff at Radio Shack, Future Shop, the local pc store or anywhere else.. and that way this negates any way of them 'upgrading' there products just for reviews.
What AOL did was not wrong, they used there software to patch a bug. It wasn't like they opened up excell and downloaded your files. Mind you, aol could have told the users what they were planning/doing. Back to this discussion... If I'm running a network of 5000 computers, and 500 of them are dsl, or cable or dialup connections I have everyright to patch those computers on MY network, so long as I devulge this information in the Terms of the contract.!!!
You make it sound like the company is liable for not patenting(sp?) something. They are still doing there job, bring new ideas to the floor. They cannot be held liable for something they do not do which they can simply justify as unjust, anti-competitive tactics and IANAL but suggesting lawyer fee's would also outway the chance of getting the patent.
Just an FYI. Most people who send out there resume do address it to a company member, do include valuable information, DO NOT try and sell products, and do not falsify the return headers. When the return headers are true, and your addressing a member of a company with a legitimate request/email (say a response to a post about job openings) no judge is going to charge you with spam.
I am Canadian therefore I MUST and WILL watch HOCKEY on TV! I am also aware this is a US push..mind you we adopt a lot of your legislation, so I have a vested interest in the outcome of most US legislation.
Frankly, I do see it but not easily. And no one that doesn't live in the immediate surrounding area would. I live in Ontario, and can recognize UWO as University of Western Ontario... as thats its name... it seems the Unversity's of California wants to claim anything that starts with UC or UOC.. no?
Ask yourself how many people thought in their heads about attacking SCO when they dropped the bombshell of theirs months ago. Maybe the thought was only "boy, they're playing with fire in the Linux community, I sure hope someone teaches them a lesson not to mess with us". Or something similar.
I would think the most common view is.....
Lets speak out against this injustice and support corporations who can defend us as a whole. Now, lets take SCO to jail. Only a violent mind would think like that, most people I presume would say things like what I said above... I personally can't wait for SCO to get its 'day in court' and I can honestly say I havn't wished any violence or any other ridiculous acts against SCO. Mind you I've been hopeing for more lawsuits!!
So basically the PARENT(s) are pointing out that.. the linux community has a few 'nutty' people or 'crazy' people. By simple mathematics and a logical view point one can deduce the following:
a) all races have 'crazy' people
b) all countries have 'crazy' people
c) any group over 1000 people will most likely contain 'crazy' people
d) any group of our a million followers/partners/members will have 'crazy' people
Now, why are you trying to make a few select individuals represent a large educated body?
The PARENT seemed to post valid information about him getting CANNED for producing sub-intellectual work. By the sounds of his tone he did actually read the article anyways. Perhaps he was too harsh, but if he has information to prove this 'writer' is a "MORON" then he has every write to post that in reponse to an article written by him. Its informative and may also help other people learn more about the Author of the article to shed some light on his past experience in the industries tech-news sector.

Didn't we discuss this the other day???

That was a good movie, don't spend your time picking apart technical details rather then understaing the movie and whats going on. Idiot :o
