    Linux/Solaris/BSD are all better and more secure for large server applications than windows..

    Not always, or even more often true, you can apply a patch to an enterprise server and restart just that service. The application my company is working on is an enterprise billing/order system that needs to be up 24/7. We do a weekly update for security and software upgrades and I have had to restart the server once in a year and a half (1 time in 78 updates).

    so the 'fing dumb linux drone' knew something you did not..

    Hey guy the aptch for this has been out for a while now, the difference with open source is when a bug is found often its not by someone trying to do harm, they notify the community and you have a chance to fix it before a ;nimda' comes along. Now if the fix is put out an nobody impliments it dont balme the OS

    In the M$ world you dont hear about a bug until it brings your network to a grinding halt..

    No but our 'little club" is working on a OS designed for large corporate networks. Windows is not.

    Windows is 10 times the desktop os that *nix is but on the sever end its one tenth the OS...

    Sorry but it is true. You can get an MCSE with the purchase of most boxes of captain crunch. Now I will say a good windows sysadmin is as good as a good Unix sysadmin, the thing is a poor unix sysadmin wont last in the field.

    I replaced a moron with an mcse (I have no certs) because he could not do anything (and I do mean anything) right, he got the job because he had an MCSE, he lost the job because he was a nitwit but sure enough withing a week he had another sysadmin job.

    The problem is that managers think an MCSE means something! the interview standards are much harder on a *nix person because you really have to know what youre doing to make a *nix network useable by everyone and in the process you know how to make it secure. You can set up a useable MS netowrk out of the box but (even if you know little) but its not secure.

    While in general I am not too fond of euros its in the same manner im not too fond of liberals in america. Its not a hate of the group its a hate of their politics, the people in the group I like just fine.

    I am not saying we should or should not, I was resoponding to a 'hate amreica' post. And while I may not be in the military my Borther and his wife are, so dont think for a second my family would not be impacted by a war do you think I want me neices to be orphans?

    I am in the process of applying in the nuclear engineer program in the US navy, I may or may not get in its very competitive.

    As for the cheap oil, its cheap now a war would only make it worse. I am not going to get into if a war with Iraq is right/wrong here.

    read the friggen post I was replying to and read my reply. All i was saying is with many euros (abbreviation not an insult) american can do no right, if we co-operate with pakistan were a 'paper tiger' uning others to do our fighting. If we invade iraq because the UN has no stones we are unilateralist.

    Your a typical hate American euro were damned if we do and damned if we dont. If we say 'thats it we are going after Iraq" the euros piss and moan about Americans not working with the world community. If we say ok Pakistan we will respect your soverignity, can you please help us get those who attacked us and are currently within your borders the same group of morons says we are using proxys..

    Usually IE releases are reported on slashdot, you just have to look under the bugs section ;).

    Seriously though you are right there is an open source bias on this forum (one which I share), piss and moan all you want, if you dont like it dont use mozilla. Its not supposed to be for everyone, we believe in having software choice here, something the developers of IE dont want.

    You seem to be one of those people who has to pan something because they dont like it, its not that youre trolling its that youre a bitter person.
