What stops you from doing a man-in-the-middle attack, as so to speak? I.e., what assures the integrity of the original files, and how do you know that you're obtaining an authentic file?
Actually, the best solution in that case is to just have sex with her and get all that pent up frustration on both sides over with, but that doesn't seem to be a valid solution in this case.
First of all, you shouldn't be using a web browser on a production server.
Second, it's not the slapper worm that worries me -- it's those constant buffer overflows in this daemon and that daemon, shoot, even the bulletproof BIND just had a vulnerability. I actually trust IIS; I for one always disabled all the script mappings (I didn't need anything beyond ASP support).
There are ways to properly secure a Windows box, you just need to know what you're doing. (There *are* ways of hotfixing the server w/o browsing to Windows update). And regardless of the OS, you need to keep up on your security updates.
1. Win2k has packet filtering built into TCP/IP. 2. ISA server is a proxy/firewall. You can always *buy* it. 3. Your suggestion of using XP as a server totally broke your credibility. 4. You can always download a free firewall if you're worried (Tiny Personal Firewall comes to mind). 5. What gives you the right to claim that you would never put a Win2k box straight on the net, but you would a *nix box? According to CERT, there were three times as many security holes in open source OSes this year than MS. So, personally I'd be more leary of putting a Linux box right on the net than I would an MS box. Nuff said.
Yes we all know this because Michael has an MBA and a degree in economics, and is a world-renowned economist and well-respected politician. And all this time, we thought he was just some red-Commie failed computer adminstrator nitwit fuck that continually posts off-base anti-Microsoft propaganda on Slashdot without any credible evidence. Boy, were we wrong!

My supermarket has been doing this for years now. Yes, online! This is hardly new, and I see it as a complete waste of my time even reading on the article.
Also, I hear this dot.com thing might really take off. I think I'll start selling books online, yeah that's it!!

Slash let's you queue up stories and post them at the selected time. I.e., he radomly selected a handful of stories, set the times, and been sleeping like a baby for the last 12 hours. =)
Than what? PostgreSQL is pretty good from what I've heard, I am just sick and tired of all these hoser zealots running their mouths about "M$ and Oracle suX0rs - use MySQL!" MySQL simply can't handle the load that these other databases can, and fraudlently claiming that it can perform equally or as well as other, more mature database software is just ridiculous.
This hasn't been the case since after Microsoft SQL Server 6.0.
Try setting up MySql some time
Ahh, another free software zealot that's been brainwashed and blinded. Not to reopen the can of MySQL vs anything useful flamewar again, but let me say this now: MYSQL IS NOWHERE NEAR THE LEVEL OF ANY COMMERCIAL DATABASE SERVERS.
That is all.

I think it's the "Linux r0x0rz! It is always secure, unlike micro$hit!!!" attitude that brings it down. I mean, with attitudes like that, they would have no reason to think that they are vulnerable, nor should they have to update it.
Kind of reminds me of that Linux user vs. HR troll, "There is NO REASON to reboot a server with a 275 day uptime because of A SECURITY EXPLOIT! I mean, it's only a LOCAL ROOT EXPLOIT!"
An engineering student is walking along when a fellow student arrives on a new bicycle. Impressed, he asks, "Where did you got this beautiful bicycle?"
"Well," the second engineering student says, "A couple of days ago I was just walking along when this gorgeous blonde pulls up, hops off the bike, rips off all her clothes, and says 'take what you want'."
The other engineering student nods and says "Good choice. The clothes probably wouldn't have fit."
This puzzles me, as open source advocates' number one claim to fame is that "we have security updates released within the hour of finding the bug!" But the truth is that they are never checked for app compaibility. Either you have full compatibility to programs that have coded to buggy standards, or you plug the security holes. Seems like you can't win in this situation.
I think you can turn DRM off in Media player. I also think the whole purpose behind it is so if you wish, you can keep people from stealing your music.
Then don't be an asshole and complain when things in "Micro$oft" (don't forget the $, moron!) go wrong or don't work right. All software has bugs. Deal with it. If you don't refuse to update your software, then you shouldn't complain.
I'm fine with Linux kernel 0.0.1, but I'm pissed that it doesn't support USB or sound.

Let's make sure that the script kiddies get a pressed CD-ROM copy mailed to their houses too, while we're at it.

since it is embedded into the os
IE is embedded into Explorer, NOT the OS (i.e. the kernel). You can easiliy run Windows with a different shell (why?).

Regardless, kudos to being the first person to ever include a graph in his slashdot posts to back up his claims.

They plan to release new software called "KaZaA"
I know McAfee Firewall, for example, is a network driver/snapin.
Keep in mind that IE is not a mail client...

No. Remember, professionals design that advertising.
