  1. Re:He should be on Sasser Worm Takes Down UK's Coastguard · · Score: 1

    is the car company responsible for not making unbreakable windows?

    No, of course not, but that is not the problem. You don't even have a window in your car, or your car can't be locked, anyone can steal your backpack!
    If windows is the car, it has doors, keylocks and everything, but either the keylock doesn't work, or every car has the same key.

    If someone breaks into my house...

    What if you left the door unlocked? They could just walk in, grab anything they wanted and leave. They would even take the key, so they could come back for more.

  2. M$ XML on Tim Bray on Microsoft Office · · Score: 1

    Micro$oft already does some things with XML. They (sort of) EXTENDED the XML spec (I'm not sure here) to make sure they could embed binary data in it.

    This way they can put a M$ Word file inside an XML body, but still be a binary file.

    This is what I think is likely to happen.

    Just wait for a pirated version of SP1

  4. Re:Not a whole lot different on GNOME 2.0 Beta · · Score: 1

    The changes are not directly user-oriented(UI). The GNOME2-platform has a LOT of changes in the background. The development platform is where the BIG changes are.

    I think that GNOME 2.2 will have some other look 'n feel, but the development platform will remain the same. (binary compatible).

    I'm running the snapshots from Ximian. GNOME 2 rocks :-) as far as I can tell.

    Have you ever written a program for KDE or GNOME? I mean, did you actually look at the function names? They are quite logical.

  5. Re:Having trouble with 2.4.17, should I get this? on 2.5.4 Kernel Out · · Score: 1

    You can just disable AGP. It solves the problem too
