Why do i continuously see the argument, which equates gaming to being "non-adult" This is just plane bullshit and denotes the proponent of such as being small minded. I am a baby boomer with a long-term (18year) marriage, avid gamer with all of my like minded buddies and have found the proper balance of gaming and "adult life". I find gaming relaxes me and puts me in the proper frame of mind to deal with the complex daily issues i'm confronted with. I'm an IT Validation Consultant, hence lots of crap being served up daily. That being said i consider myself all grown up and able to have a health R.L and be an avid gamer to boot !!.
I for one respectfully disagree with the author!!
Smells of troll... but that being said all the items he lists in his article smells of a first graders use of ANY computer. IF windows is patched properly AND the sound use of an idiot-proof FREE firewall is installed and used AND a FREE antivirus program is used then windoze is no more susceptible to online hacks than any other OS. The issue is and will continue to be the mail client. Seems MS missed the boat with that one BUT... maybe its not really the clients fault for if most clueless isp admins filter out the crap BEFORE the client gets it then whats the issue?? I use Linux-BSD etc for almost everything here other than gaming but dammit windowz is Still used by most of my clients (Pharma houses) and we will just have to deal with it. MS (or someone else) NEEDS to get give the mail admins the tools to get rid of this crap before it hits the desktop.....
I think most people don't realize the this is the FIRST non- governmental private ametuer vehicle to reach space. That by itselt is a VERY important milestone. I wish them well. !!
People like you make me puke.... who says its for YOU to decide that your misguided "personal policy" applies??? I hope you step on a bear trap and no one hears your call for help.... idiot
Agreed
This happened to me in 2001. The overseas "Consulting" outfit that was hired to replace me as an admin/dba received all the training i deemed appropriate. Needless to say after six months of unacceptable downtime on the servers- security breaches- software issues - and piss poor performance (although the stupid CFO and accountants were happy) i had sitting in my lap a very lucrative support contract. Same job - part time- twice the money. Go figure. The world is full of idiots and i'm starting to beleive they are ALL accountant types.
This CLSID hack has been out for over a year and its just now getting exposure?? I remember saying to the owner of the company i was downsized from about a year ago, better start laying the groundwork for switching to Linux now because this is going to be bad when it comes out. Its not just an IE issue either. The OS is flawed in the same manner.

Yah i know its text and its a google cache but hey the link was there a year ago. !!
I can't believe i'm reading this. !!! What kind of sap does'nt understand the concept of birth-control??.... To equate what these people... - crew -.. were doing with starving children in the world just makes my contempt for this idiot author even more concrete... "A real tragedy is millions of children dying from hunger in the world" Feed them yourself..... i lost a personal friend on the last mission.. " It is sad, really, but it is not a tragedy," sorry...no you are sad
I used his stuff on my Ampro CPM 64 and it rocked.
Actually got me into trouble for some of the first ATM - bank teller hacks here in PA. Ah the good old days when there was no security in dialups...And yes i was using a brand new shiny external Hayes 300. I still have all of the above hardware. Suprisingly it all works quite well !!
Thanks Ward !!
Considering the recent influx of cash from redmond to SCO (license's) i suspect there is more to this story than meets the eye... Hey Bill want to throw some cash my way... ?
These are my thoughts exactly... dam bud have you been listening to my phone calls again ?!! but being and old programmer i still find there are some things that are faster when calling Win32..
I have an Ampro "Little Board 64K" system still running a data gathering app written long ago. The terminal has long since pooped out but with a nice serial connection i check on it once a week. Kinda reminds me of an ol PDP someone forgot behind a wall for 20 years until a tech decided one day to find out where this cord goes.....
It?s strictly a client side issue after verification. I NEVER let the server initiate an update (only offer) unless the client fully agrees. And it needs a user with admin priv's on the client side to authorize the update.
"This hasn't anything to do with 9/11, this has to do with common sense regarding computer security and network protocol design."
i disagree with your comment. Having many clients, and dealing with computer security and network protocol design, is and always has been paramount. But i find that after 9/11 people are just a little bit more twitchy.!!
Actually deleting files during an upgrade is a common practice.. (i do this in my updater) and i surmise this might not be such a big issue of these (ES5) peeps were not from the middle east...I think we all are a little more paranoid since 9/11.....
EXCEPT for the small fact that the crew of the Columbia was traveling at 12000 MPH... and these guys (in the balloon) are like just sitting there i see no way a crossover of technolgies would have helped.
I don't agree with your statements.... if the Wright Brothers had to put up with the current mountains of red tape with respect to ALL areas of flying not just launch safety we'd all still be driving -(walking) instead of flying. It's my (and others)opinion the quanity of paperwork-red-tape-rules-regs---blah-blah-blah is forced upon us by bureaucrats whose only purpose is their paper pushing ability. This needs to be changed...
By the way do you know how much bailing wire was actually on the original 1903 Flyer 1 ??
Actually a very eloquent response.... shows a very rationale viewpoint of ones surroundings... and one that i agree with wholeheartedly.... now if we could just convince the rest of the world our views are correct..

What an arrogant attitude... ( most ./'s cannot afford this).... i have cars that will go in reverse faster that this POS....

Actually if you search Google for "google heuristics work" you end up with quite a few links from within google itself.
