Also there are exploits in the wild that are never reported, no disclosure, no fixed code. Thus if you can work around this by offering a software package to protect you, by all means Microsoft should go this route.
And how is that supposed to happen? Use a crystal ball, read tea leaves?
I have heard a number of Microsoft paid for pundits, "research firms" and assorted other ilk whom suckle from Uncle Bill's hip pocket. Lament over the draw back of Linux because of the myriad number of distros to choose from.
It is quite funny to see Microsoft after spending who knows how much money lambasting the Linux arena for such a thing and turn around and do the samething themselves. I think the phrase I'm looking for includes the words pot, kettle and black.
Unlike the Linux arena and the ability to choose a distro that feels right to you. The bonus of which ever choice you do make does not in any form limit what you can do with your distro of choice. You can still run a print server, web server, mail server, etc all the while enjoying the goodness of it as a desktop environment.
Now with Microsoft's choices you have first think long and carefully what you intend to do with that box of yours. Else you make the wrong choice it will cost you money. Well that's good for Bill because as I see this setup. It's sole intention is maximixing the number of dollars Bill can and will suck out of your pocket.
Lol and people act like little whiners bemoaning the confusing array of which Linux distro to use, why there are so many Linux distros, there should be a consolidation of Linux distros, blah, blah.
At least with any Linux distro you can have a webserver, print server, samba server, desktop of your choice, blah, blah. All without needing an upgrade license, phoning home to Bill, blah blah. In fact the only choice you need make for Linux is a distro and your fav desktop environment.
Yes I can read.

Twisted is not installed, you can download it from
Most Linux distributions ships with a python-twisted package.
Download twisted python. Go to install it:
bash-3.00$ python setup.py install
"you need zope.interface installed you need zope.interface installed http://zope.org/Products/ZopeInterface/
And I'm not installing Zope.
From the NEWS.txt of twisted -
2.0.0 (March 25, 2005):
Major new features
- Replaced home-grown components system with zope.interface.
That's just STUPID.
And this stupid website won;t let me paste the entire process. Reason: Please use fewer 'junk' characters.
POS.
Ya know there are times I just don't know what to make of Sun. For so long now they have acted at totally psychotic way and with a split personality you never know just what they are up to.
I'm sure with their "call" to reduce the number of licenses does not include CDDL. And I certainly view this move as a, look we mean what we have said about license reduction.
If Sun really was interested in reducing the proliferation of licenses, they would have not created CDDL in the first place. So IMV this move, though a nice gesture is just to hide their other guy behind the curtain.
Be that as it may. The very first action the developers should take is rip out all that java crap.
Since OSDL is not the one that initiated or rather instigated this "study". It's not their responsibility to change it's "aim", as you put it. Only in a superficial, can I market this as useful FUD would Microsoft consider changing its aim.
Given Microsoft's past behavior and after being convicted as a monopoly that has abused the market. I cannot believe they have anything but unscrupulous intentions to manipulate what ever the results would have been.
OSDL is absolutely right in that their business is not running some heads up knock down, who's better activity. That's better left to the Microsoft rags that gobble up anything they say an put it in print.
What's so hard about it's syntax? If you refer to how it identifies say the 1st drive and 2nd partition in the system as hd0,1 then learn how to count.
Give me a break. You must be a friggin' idiot to be asking that question of Slashdot and expect to get answers that comply with those DOD standards. It's obvious you have no business handling such a project if you are not cognitive enough to research the appropriate DOD docs governing computer security.
Ok Billy boy, I think it safe to say myself and a whole lota' other folks did not fall off the turnip truck today... or yesterday..... or the day before.
However, I do have to hand it to Microsoft. They had allready lost my repsect and trust several versions of their OS back. Now they have passed my loath indicator. It really takes a scumbag to
call Spam "an amazing vehicle of e-mail marketing'.
Explains quite well some of the companies they purchased this year.
Just another stupid idea that thinks using technology can somehow make a person more responsible. What an asinine concept. What they really mean is, we want to use this technology to control you.
What it really boils down to is Cisco knows their code/firmware is about as well written as Microsoft windows and just about as secure. They just don't want everyone else to know about it.
It runs on out-of-date Intel machines and 64-bit AMD chips, and it serves terabytes of files a day on some of the largest file servers on earth." ?
Wow I gotta stop believing all that Linux FUD I've been reading. So Linux can't, hasn't or done any of that?
Talk about tooting your own horn at the expense of something else.
Well in my not so legal opinon since IANAL, I think AMD has some standing with their suit. However, I do think they are headed down the wrong track by trying to involve the public.
It's always been my impression when you have an active law suit going you keep your mouth shut. AMD should take lessons from IBM on how to properly handle the public relations aspect of a law suit.
You don't need to create an OS from scratch. All you need to do is create a satisfactory tactile and/or auditory interface. Since I am not blind or deaf I'll leave it up to those who are to decide how such an interface should function.
Gee, I wonder where those negative vibes against advertising in general ever came from? Could it be the slimballs enlist the even slimmier spammers? Oh wait spammers do it for free, yeah thats it.
I can remember when cookies were first used. I also remember the concern back then that cookies can be misused in all manner of ways. I can also remember how we were assured that was not the intent of cookies and no one would try to use them to track your movement and a host of other things.
Well, here it is years later and the general populace is still concerned about cookie use and it's abuse. Rightfully so we should be concerned.
There is little to no argument that can be given that cookie use has not been abused to the disadvantage of us common folk.
By the simple fact on line marketers do not want cookies to be deleted blows any argument they use right out of the water.
Cookie use has little advantage for the end user save for remember your last session with a website.
Beyond that it is most advantageous to marketering types to track your movement, etc. If they want to know my activities on the internet the only way I would allow that is for them to pay me. And I don't mean some half cent per cookie either.
Your lucky that "little shit" did not turn around and sue your ass..... I would have had you done that to me. I am surprised you are so STUPID to physically grab a MINOR in such a way.
I sympathize with your children.

Well LinuxBIOS has been getting boot up times in the 3 second range for a while. Nothing new move on. http://www.linuxbios.org/index.php/Main_Page
You make some interesting points.
And how is that supposed to happen? Use a crystal ball, read tea leaves?
Idiot.

Well screw that. i was going to help by installing it but "python setup.py install" wants Zope installed. Fergit it!
