Could you please elaborate on the "less benevolent entities", perhaps giving some examples of what bad situations might arise? I just haven't get it yet.
Thanks!
Yea, I don't understand that. When I submit a story which includes an URL to a document on a server under my control (or to a document under my control) I take suitable precautions to avoid getting slashdotted. I mean hey, this wasn't the first time the slashdot effect hit! By now you should have learnt that it exists..
Admittedly the site isn't completely slashdotted already, I still got the article text - but it is notably very slow. (No pictures..)
As long as these wrappers don't have a good and secure "separation" layer - yes, it will.
I imagine this wrapper as a kernel module (i.e. it gets part of the kernel) which itself loads the windows drivers. I.e. the windows driver it more or less part of the kernel and as such can bring the kernel down if it acts stupid.
Well, if you run a processor too hot its lifetime will certainly be reduced. Insofar you can wear it out.
And since processors get hotter when they're used than when they're idle you can wear it out buy using it intensively. Of course only if you don't have a good cooling solution. (i.e. a well-proportioned cooler..)
Slashdot is too subjective.
Ok, it is completely understandable and ok that slashdot is not a pro-microsoft-newsletter. But still I would have expected a bit more. Not just "oh, and if Rob Enderle is from Microsoft everythingh he says is bad".
This was an enumeration, not a specification of civil disobedience. I know quite well what civil disobedience means.
I hope this cleared the obvious misunderstanding up!
Now it's your turn, people of the United States. Civil disobedience en masse! Writing and calling(!) your representatives! Voting for the correct candidates in elections! Or - vote at all, make use of your democratic rights!
This group isn't in Poland purely by chance - many of the countries of the former Soviet Union don't have laws for these things - usually simply because they have other, more practical problems to attack than shutting down someone's server.
Of course one can continue this: The real problem aren't the broken OSs, but the computers. Or the internet itself. Or whatever.
.
If you want to attack the real cause of a problem you will have to assassinate every single human being. Because human being have the property to make problems.
For a serious note: Neil Postman is dead at 72. Cause seems to be lung cancer.

If this book obviously doesn't have any downsides (at least you didn't mention any) - why did it get only eight points? (assuming maximum would be 10, as usual. Or do you mean eight out of eight points?;)
547 pages - I'd say that's nearer 500 pages than 600 pages. Or simply around 550 pages. But certainly not nearly 600 pages.

This phrase is funny insofar that the term "page" does not give any clue how long a "web page" is. :-)

Sorry, just wondering..

These ads didn't register to get displayed when searching for Bourse des vols but when search for either bourse or vols!
Exactly, trademarks are only valid in a certain context. Otherwise there wouldn't be these unix diapers or whatever it was ;-)
Nowadays "the Internet" is a proper noun - that'd mean it was "the smae Internet we all use".

Sorry, but because your first assumption is wrong your complete post is useless.
don't count your chickens before they're hatched - slashdot won't rise above anything than the geek prole
"We" = 98 or whatever percent of all web users
Absolutely right! Hang him high!
Wow. You're lame.
What a pity google caches doesn't cache images as well..!

Yeyea, money's the root of all evil - send $20 for more info ..as the saying goes ;-)
..not a funny multimedia whistling jukebox in my pocket!
Of course my posting was quite exaggerated, but I hope you got the point: It's not always that easy to find the real "root of the evil".

At all - thanks for the review!
