They aren`t quite objects if you need to conceptualize them in a different way...
But Java Script offers something that RESEMBLES objects. And can be a mess to deal with when people start to use variables without declaring them, because the language doesn't make the scope clear.
Did Windows stop executing code at images, text files and all kind of weard stuff?
Did it stop prompting the user for Ok every time it does anything, dangerous or not?
Did IE removed from its API the functions that owns a system? What good can come from a sandbox if lots of infections are due to documented 'features'?
Did Windows start showing important data to the user? Or it still hides extensions all kinds of stuff that the user could use to differentiate an attack from normal use?
By the way, did Windows stop relying on files extensions to know what to do with them?
A good permission system does improve security, but it is irrelevant if the rest of the OS is as bad as Windows. And, by the way, Windows permission system is overkill, almost nodoby uses it correctly. And a very powerfull system that you won't use is still worse than a simple one that you will use.
I didn't saw a clearer answer, so I'll post a late one...
Exchange is the one server that everybody uses and we can't replace with FOSS. And since we can't replace that sever, it must run on Windows, and most companies can't afford (or think they can't) to support both Linux and Windows servers. So, we get an all or nothing situation, where Linux gets nothing.
And, yes, Exchange has a lot of techinical flaws. It doesn't talk well with anithing, it is 'heavy' on its servers and it is not backup-friendly. But it worst flaw is that t runs on Windows, and Windows servers are hard to maintain. That is why we think that an Exchange server replacement that doesn't suck will be fastly adopted.
"Once again, footballs, dolls, and books don't cost $100 per child."
Yes, they do. Books alone cust more than that per child and per year (let me clarify that so that you don't put words on my mount too: (child * year)^(-1)).
"By this same logic, anything that hasn't been tried, no matter how stupid, far-fetched, or wrong-headed, should be tried."
No, but any stupid thing that wan't tried hasn't failed yet. Is it that hard to read without jumpping to conclusions?
"50 million dollars (500,000 laptops * $100) is a LOT of money to gamble with in a developing nation."
No, it's not. 50 million dollars is very cheap for a government program. Almost all governemnts on the world can afford to gamble that, even more on something with the potential of OLPC. It is probably orders of magnitude lower from what Tailand spend on software licences every year.
Well, you see that the up and down figures have a different size. Almost all the bubble hapened during the 90's, so it is not just a matter of bad interval.
And it is really hard to tell if MS is near bankrupt or not, because they use stock options a lot and their spending is anything but simple to classify.
It will be released wit a non discriminatory license, that a court will review. That means that you'll probably have to pay to get the specs, but the same amount of everybody else.
If you want to protect the user, you give the keys to the user (or let him chose them). No encription that hides the keys from you is there for your benefit.

Now repeat the question with the mallet at hands...

Is Oracle really solid for "mission critical" 100% up-time applications?
It is not a medicin. Maybe they won't need to purify it that much.
127.0.0.0 is the entire net where that 127.0.0.1 computer is.
So with Vista...

They should have an OS that desn't suck by now too... But they don't have it, and aren't good at crash recovery either.
I guess the OP was talking about losing your work at the directory tree.
FSM realy loves to play golf, so no one doubts the metheor thesis.

Like West == US on the brains of those same people...
Is it really pranoid if the conclusions are based on known past behaviour?

Experts are expected to know the difference.

I've had a biege 486 (DX4 - 100). That was one of the last biege laptops I saw.
Sun did already GPLed Java, so that is already the case.
Open Solaris is open source, and Sun also owns its copyrights. It just ins't GPL.
You may have problems with patents, but trade secrets are worthless if you tell it to several million people.
The news is that someone at a 'enterprise' was able to figure that out.
Because of all other examples we're getting recently, we expected otherwise.
It depends on how you measure fitness.
Ok, but how fast can you spin it?
Still there is nothing controversial (or even news) on what you said. There is a bit of news on TFA, but not on your interpretation.
And evolution is not controversial. It's even bettter accepted than such things as gravitation, or chemistry.
That tag is for Microsoft use only.
Hey, does nobody else see the parent as a +5 funny? Even better if you have mod points...
