Making computing ubiquitous, and easy to understand-- these aren't things to be taken lightly.
Hmm, computing is not really easing easy and ubiquitous with Windows. That's what they want us to think, but it's not true. Most people I know have many problems using their computer, which are full of virus, spyware and that kind of shit. I would say that 80 or 90% of people having a computer connected to the internet can't use it correctly. Some others OSs are not always as easy to use, but at least they work and don't try to make you think that something which is inherently complexe is simple (making it actually more complexe if you want something working because they hide you all the details).
But it's true, linus didn't consider the nature of what he was using and got burned.
Right.
Seriously, there are many reasons FOR the GPL. I am sick of people who aren't political having an allergic reaction to it, while you might not value the reasons for the GPL there *ARE* perfectly legitimate and powerful reasons for believing in it.
But why are you talking about GPL here ?? The version control doesn't have to be GPL, as long as it's open source (as defined by the OSI) there's no problem. The developer can choose to release their software as GPL or something else, but as a user a BSD license give you as much rights as the GPL (actually it's more). And I think the main reason why Richard Stallman was not happy with bk was because it was not free, not because it's not GPL.
The way I see it with Google, it appears that they create something that's cool at first(Orkut, SMS 46645) and it never evolves, or it just gets worse over time (Google Groups).
Orkut looked good at first. Now it's almost unusable, it's much too slow.
If I could only access *.google.com - I'd be less pleased. Check mail, read news headlines (content is hosted elsewhere), read and post to internet newsgroups. But no porn unless it's ASCII because Google newsgroups ignore binary attachments. Dammit.
Hmm, no that's wrong, you can have an access to a lot of things using the google cache. And you can probably even look at pr0n using the cache:)
They changed that recently and it's not anymore possible to open new free accounts (but the old ones still works), but no, it was completly free. You could open an account for free, and have an unlimited number of emails, with a 100Mb website with php/mysql, and no popup or any other ad at all on your website.
So to sum up, this article is completly useless. Anyone can do this at home, without them.

1. This doesn't hurt SCO, or those behind SCO, in any way at all. 2. It doesn't help Linux, or those involved in Linux, in any way at all.
But it may help see the truth for some people who might think that linux really has some stolen SCO code. 3. It does harm the image of Linux users.
Why ? Who said it is a Linux user/developer ? If a Windows user deface some website, will it harm Microsoft ? 4. It's illegal. Yeah, they're doing worse illegal stuff, so what? Vigilante justice is not the answer.
What you write is interesting. I think I have had the same thing for one year. When I think about it, I have pain near my heart. Sometimes I can spend weeks without it, but when I'm really tired, a little depressed, or think about it while reading a story like this one, it comes back, and it become worse when I think I could be dying of an heart attack or something like this:/ Maybe I should talk about this to a doctor to make sur I have nothing bad when I have time.
Also I had some decays for years that I had treated last week. When I read that, I realize that brushing teeth is important.
I'm thinking of starting an open source project that does just this. Thinking of going the cheap route and doing it in linux. Unfortunatly I don't really know linux, so I have to put the system together with Visual Basic and VC++ and ask some open sourcers to port it.
You want to write a good and secure program, but don't want to spend time learning how to make it work on a correct OS ?? That's strange. There's nothing difficult with Linux, if you want to make that kind of program you should at least ready to spend that time.
What is good with debian is that it's STABLE. You can install a server using Debian, and you know that it will last for years. The security update try to never change the version of a program but only correct the bug, in order to avoid possible break. I'm never scared before I run an update on a Debian stable. The problem is that the packages can be a little old if you're running the stable version. That's probably not Debian stable that you want for a Desktop computer:)
A quick scan of that article and I couldn't see any mention of using an alternative browser, just the usual "update virus checker, etc"
Yes, I think that's because they get their infos from people who call them experts, but who are actually working for an anti-virus company.
And the goal of theses company is to sell anti-virus, if people start using Mozilla or anything else than Internet Explorer why would they need an anti-virus anymore to protect them against spyware and anti-virus ?
Personally, I have OOo and Abiword installed, so that I can use Abiword for word processing, and OOo for spreadsheets and powerpoint presentations whenever I need to.
For spreadsheets you can also use gnumeric which is good.
I don't think they are talking about this kind of software.
Some company release their software only for Windows, and if you really need this software and nothing exist to replace it, it can be a good solution before they release a Linux version (or someone else do).
Microsoft does patch their OS quickly. The only problem is that many many people don't install the patches they provide. The vulnerability that CodeRed exploited was patched three months before the worm was released. The only reason it caused so many issues was because of incompetent Windows sysadmins.
Have you heard of this Outlook 2003 vulnerability (Script Execution Vulnerability) ?
It was discovered on May 17, but no patche today.
And this Internet Explorer exploit does no have a patche too.
If you look at this, you'll see that it took them more than 6 monts to release their patche on the LSAS vulnerability (used by Sasser).
Is that what you call "patch their OS quickly" ?

At least it's funny.
...when he warned Asian governments.
It seems that Linux is using 228 times the IsNot macro.
But you got that answer from Steve Ballmer, the man who is always lying. So that's probobly not the truth.
Ballmer is just an idiot.
He says he might be the 2nd most spammed personn in the world, but I think it might not be true.
Does he do a lot of speeches for spammers ?
I wonder how much time it take for him to receive an email. If it has to go throught a human filter, it can take some time ...

Does anyone know what it means ?

I thought Duke Nukem Forever would be bundled with Longhorn.

That's one of the best reasons to use something like Yahoo instead of a separate email client.

But if you're running Internet Explorer, you're still not safe, look at this

Do you think the guys at Valve were stupid?
Yes, they were using Outlook.
triple-click is also patented as they patented "the application button pressed multiple times within a short period of time".
