  1. Re:Statistics? on Will Microsoft IIS Overtake Apache? · · Score: 1

    IIS has not been installed by default for at least 10 years now.

    Anyone running IIS 5.0 would have been hacked and gone down in flames long ago.

    No, those concern serious problems with NTLM and LM. Both of those not only aren't part of AD, they predate it. That's also why security standards now require NTLMv2 be enabled and older authentication methods be refused.

    MS has some sort of nonsense called "active directory"

    That nonsense is a mature technology that has been around since Windows 2000 was released. It was one of the first enterprise products Microsoft seriously started building around open standards like Kerberos and LDAP.

    The second amendment actually says "arms"... so anything that can be used to arm oneself is protected.

    The USA of WWII was the father of the state we have today. The policies the left put in place resulted in this overpowered interventionist state.

    deepest poverty

    I don't think you know what that really means. If you have housing, electricity, heat, indoor plumbing, refrigerator, stove, and ample food and clothing, you aren't in "deepest poverty"-- and there are very, very few who don't have those things in the USA.

    Note how government, once again, claims it's the solution to a problem it created. If it wasn't for the unconstitutional wage freeze, we wouldn't have been relying on employer-subsidized health care.

    We do have universal healthcare. We're forced to buy it from mega-corporations, which apparently is a free-market solution from the Democratic Party. Note that the law was passed without a single Republican vote for it-- or even a single vote NEEDED-- before you jump on me.

    How could health care get any more socialist than single-payer? Have Joseph Stalin personally give you your annual checkup?

    Canada isn't a communist nation, but the fact is that single-payer health care abolishes an entire industry-- even if it's one that many of us intensely dislike-- and turns it over to the state.

    The best answer is to abolish the income tax. Just that one. I'm not some wacky anarchist-- the income tax keeps everyone in chains. Even if we just made one tax bracket for the "rich", everyone has to report their income and that is where the power lies.

    Record numbers of people renounce their US citizenship every year, and this is the reason why.

    Libertarians aren't about freedom (positive liberty), they are about (negative) liberty. What this means in practice is that if your oppressor isn't called "government", you're on your own.

    Do you like making up stuff so you can pretend to win arguments? "Negative liberties" refer to interference from others, including both private citizens and government. The ONE THING a government should do, but mostly does its best NOT to do, is to PROTECT PEOPLE'S "negative liberty". Progressives try to "enhance" people's "positive liberty"-- which is a zero-sum game.

    Problem is, you can't even keep pace with inflation right now without exposing oneself to a moderate risk. In order to get a 1.5% CD, you have to deposit at least $1,000 for FOUR YEARS, or $5,000 for 2 or 3.

    Oh, and inflation primarily hurts 1%-ers because they have to actually invest their capital in risky businesses (work!) rather than sit back and enjoy risk-free rent.

    Oh, my. You would like the middle class to rely on the federal government for its retirement, wouldn't you? Those IRAs, 401Ks, and pension funds are "rent", you know.
