This is clearly an attempt to enable wholesale spying of the Internet and private citizens.
Anybody stupid enough to think the FBI won't abuse this power INSTANTLY simply knows nothing about the history of the FBI and its abuse of civil rights from the day it was formed.
The morons on this site who support this sort of thing - regardless of who pays for the Net mods - simply have no concept of freedom or the nature of government.
Face it - the US today is a fascist police state run by right-wing Christian fundamentalists,Zionists, corporations and the rich. The Constitution is dead. All bets are off. Do what you have to do to survive and preferably take down as many of these assholes as you can while you're doing it.
Smash the state! Smash religion! Smash human nature!
The obligatory "Let's Start Today's Flame War" topic?
The article has technical comparisons between Windows and Linux design philosophies. Can anybody on Slashdot make a technically correct comment on the article's technical points?
Or are we just jacking off (yeah, that movie.)?
Oh, wait, this is/. Sorry, I thought it was Ars Technica or someplace where people have a clue.
First out of the gate, somebody says Microsoft will find some crap to put in to eat up any resources they gain by optimization.
Next, the Microsoft trolls pounce, claiming that the same statement is true about Linux (no doubt they more precisely refer to the KDE and GNOME desktops, but hey...)and even if it isn't, if a Windows troll said it, the Linux trolls would pounce, so it's a valid complaint (as if anybody on/. would care about validity).
These guys must still be using Windows 98 because Windows 2000 is a very slow-starting OS compared to current Linux. Windows XP is better but still not good. Both also take an eternity to install compared to current Linux. Reread that statement about how long Longhorn takes to do "hardware detection". Knoppix Linux does it in the two minutes it takes to boot up.
The bottom line however is that Longhorn has a database file system which HAS to be a resource hog and slow as hell - requiring all new hardware, and all new applications to be BOUGHT and installed. And the Windows trolls claim Linux is hard to use for a newbie. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I'd call having to upgrade your hardware on every release of the OS to be hard on newbies.
Note that the article states that that over-400MB of commit charge is WITHOUT applications running.
What kind of "debug" does Microsoft run - a full 256MB simulation on top of a 256MB OS?
Give me a break. This thing is going to be a nightmare to run, a nightmare to install, a nightmare to administer.
They finally admitted in Windows 2003 Server that the 2000 Group Policy menus were a nightmare to figure out and put them in an MMC Console. How long before they have to put everything on a Console in order for anybody to figure Longhorn out.
And the trolls think Linux is hard to use!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
Microsoft software is crap. (Linux is crap, too, but at least it's FREE crap.)
Mod this flamebait, mod this troll, mod this up your grandmother's ass, I could care less.
Well, given that many small countries have lousy "educational" systems and little media and less money, one has to suggest that "western" countries are a little bit better at propaganda than some other countries.
In most countries, the population has a two-thousand-year history of NOT trusting the government - having seen one dictator after another come and go and nothing changes. The US has a 200-year history of TRUSTING it's government - which was a mistake from Day One.
Getting rid of their bombs and ammo might help, too.
Although apparently the Defense Department was very good about that anyway, since the troops constantly ran out of ammo during the war (at one point, a Marine company was fixing bayonets before being rescued by another outfit), ran out of food (some US troops were raiding Iraqi garbage cans for food and holding up signs to passing convoys saying "Will fight for food!"), and had too few sets of body armor (numerous parents reported buying body armor here in the US for shipment to Iraq).
Do you remember the ad somebody ran which showed a giant penguin about to step on the Microsoft campus (think: Pillsbury Marshmello Man in "Ghostbusters"), with the caption, "Good morning, Mr. Gates! I'll be your server today!"
Has the evolution of technology in the workplace (computer, internet, email, etc...), which is suppose to make your job easier, made it any less stressful?
> Believe it or not, they are actually a lot like > everyone else
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Now THAT's what I call a troll!
Yes, they ARE out to get you. That's their CAREER, and they chose it for exactly that reason. And that's how they advance in that career - by getting people, whether actually responsible for a given crime or not. And they lie, fake evidence, tamper with witnesses, do illegal black-bag jobs, spread racial and ethnic hatred, and kill innocent people on orders. And as Joey the Hitman once wrote, they're known as the Fumbling Bunch of Idiots by the Mob.

Can you code:
if $Kodak = 'SCO'
let $out_of_business = $Kodak
end-if
I knew you could.
Support Barbara Boxer?!
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Which will still be HALF the requirements of Longhorn with NO applications running.
What part of NO APPLICATIONS RUNNING don't you understand?
TWO-AND-A-HALF *HOURS* for hardware detection?
Knoppix Linux does it in the two minutes it takes to boot!
And the Windows tools^H^H^H^H^Htrolls^H^H^H^H^H^Hassholes think Linux is hard to use?

If you pay SCO anything, you might be "legal" but you'd never be called knowledgable. Stupid, maybe.
Yeah, I know, it was a joke. So is this.

That's all I want to know.
Let's start with William Hurt and Kathleen Turner in "Body Heat" - then we'll move on to Kari Wuhrer in (pick a movie) later.
'Why don't you guys throw me some mod points for this one: "All Slashdot moderators are freakin' morons.";
Well, you got modded Insightful! Happy now?
Besides, what you said was true - all Slashdot moderators are freakin' morons.
So why wouldn't you?
And maybe the "normal" Mormon business people you know are considered nuts by everyone else, ever consider that?
Maybe YOU'RE nuts!
After all, who the hell are you?
The bottom line is: if you're Mormon (I mean, either REALLY Mormon - or just faking it for "business reasons") then I'd say you ARE nuts.
It's not bigotry if it's true, I think the principle is.
And we're supposed to believe you about this when you start by saying: "I work with manipulators and backhanded people".
Right.
Troll.
How did you succeed in doing all those software migrations when it's obvious you're totally blind?
Braille manuals?
Yes. If they don't eat, they don't make war.
Sounds simple to me.
Getting rid of their bombs and ammo might help, too.

Anti-trust case?
From Bush against Microsoft?
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Do you recall where the previous one went once Bush was in office?
Get serious.
Hmmm... Symptoms of outrage include William Shatner speech patterns...
Need to see a medical library on that.
Who knows what's being done at "business meetings" between SCO and Microsoft?
You think sex isn't used in business? Read up on Adnan Kashoggi, among others.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
We anarchists like to say:
"Don't vote - it only encourages them".
Of course they don't need much encouragement, anyway, I suppose.
The fools who think voting is important forget the other great line, too:
"If voting could change the system, it would be illegal."
Now we can add to that: "or it will be electronic."
And as you recall, he was MORE than a guide - he was a combat program which took down the main bitch of the story.
Now that I'd like to have in my PDA.
I knew it was something else but that was the only name I could think of!

NOW I'm less stressed!
"Almost all attacks against our software are against the legacy systems," he said.
"If you want more secure software, upgrade."
They WANT YOU TO SPEND MONEY TO MAKE BILL RICHER!
This is the sole and total purpose of this idiot's comments.
That simple.
No further discussion is necessary.

Fuck the FBI. And again, fuck Texas.
