Administrator ability to log in as another user, without their password, using their environment.
Ability to easily assign a printer or share you've set up as administrator to all other users of the machine/domain... and don't even mention group policies (what a cluster fuck).
Ability to easily assign drive mappings/printers dependant on what groups a users belongs to (again don't EVEN say you can do thit with group policies).
Windows servers were obviously not designed from the standpoint of an administrator setting resources up for users.
People are more pissed at telemarketeers than they are with a government that just proved that if they want to get something done they can act quickly rather than dragging their feet as usual.
I have a friend who's job it is to count birds that have been chopped in half by the windmills in central California. I'll trade a few birds for clean power but a lot of people won't.
I don't know why they don't just put a mesh cage around the blades of the damn things.
If the birds are stupid enough to fly into a wall of mesh it's their own damn fault.
I worked for SCO from 1984-89... I guess I can't go to work for his crappy game company.
It's ironic that he won't hire ex-SCO employees but has no problem with ex-Microsoft employees. Which company has done the most damage to the software industry over the years?
People should be aware that the current SCO and the original SCO (that actually wrote software) have very little to do with each other.

"I heard that a very substantial amount of our brain's capacity is devoted to differentiating faces"
Nope... a very small portion actually. But it's a "hard wired" structure. We don't learn to recognize faces, it's an ability we're born with.
I saw a documentry about brain injuries where one of the subjects had the face recognition portion of his brain damaged. He couldn't recognize himself in the mirror.
When he saw people he knew he would recognize them as someone pretending to be the person in question.
An 18 year old arsonist that attempted to burn down the infrastructure of the country perhaps... or one count of "arson" per incident which in the case of this worm numbers in the hundreds of millions.
It's treasonous behaviour that was aimed at disabling/disrupting vital services (even if that wasn't the intension) and that's domestic terrorism by any definition.
Yes, yes, I know... and not being a complete monster my previous post can be taken with a bit of dark sarcasm.
I have, since the age of DNA testing, become anti-death penalty myself.
But I am getting very, very tired of criminals, and I don't mean "I smoked a little weed, or "I accidently ran over someone with my car" criminals, I mean "I raped a thirteen year old girl and chopped her arms off expecting her to die" or "I purposefully and willfully put lives in danger for my own amusement" criminals, being treated with more concern than their victims.
At what point does a clear and present danger to the constitutional rights of others outweigh the rights of the criminal? I know the constitutional answer is "never" but how can that be considered equitable?

Other simple things sorely lacking in MS servers:
Administrator ability to log in as another user, without their password, using their environment.
Ability to easily assign a printer or share you've set up as administrator to all other users of the machine/domain... and don't even mention group policies (what a cluster fuck).
Ability to easily assign drive mappings/printers dependant on what groups a users belongs to (again don't EVEN say you can do thit with group policies).

I have a hard time believing that I'm the first who wants to use the ink jet head parts of a printer to do something with them.
You aren't.
Take a look at Output magazine. It's the trade rag for the digital print finishing industry.
Ink jet printers have been used for everything from cake decoration (photo quality image made of frosting. Yum, Yum.), to etching brass and wood.
You can probably buy what you're looking for without having to be creative or inventive at all. Though that might take the fun out of it.
Wow! Did you totally miss the joke there.
Samba, you know, the dance... Brazil???
Uh... yea.
Sadly, that's not that sarcastic.
This issue WILL come up at some point.

I heard "rodents of unusual size" and immeiately thought "Food of the Gods".
The movie that taught us:
Big rodents, no problem.
Big wasp, run!
RedHat has already released a patch through up2date for this.
...When there are very few people still stupid enough to put one up on the internet without a Linux/BSD/Cisco firewall protecting it?
Of course most of the attacks are going to be on exposed servers.
That's like saying "most people that were hit by trains were standing on the tracks"
Though I think the stats from the article are probably imaginary.
It appears you are the one that can't read ...and Damage has trouble writing.
It doesn't say "anyone who worked for SCO after May of 2003".
It says "resumes which include the Santa Cruz Operation after May of 2003", which would include all resumes with SCO on them.
Leave it to an anonymous coward to be an asshole and wrong.

It's called CYA dude.
Australia has been dealing with terrorism a hell of a lot longer than the U.S. has.
I don't know what exactly a bunch of Indonesian communists would want with a mainframe though.

Totally freaky!
This announcement is pretty ironic considering:

Read the rest of the thread dude.
This was already covered.
Bad people doing bad things? You don't say?
Besides I didn't say "Rape Him" I said "Kill Him" (make him disapear)... speaking to the severity of the crime.
I didn't say we should do away with juris prudence (sp?) or due process.

About a year ago I started scanning all my important documents into .pdf files and storing them on CD.
It's much easier than rifling through the stacks.
Don't forget...
Whenever your speakerphone is not being used to annoy everyone whistle a little tune over and over again, every day, all day.
Great, now we all have to walk around with a personal electronic countermeasures pod. Where can I get my privacy intrusion seaking missle system?
Blaster took down transportation systems, among other things, and put many people's lives in danger.
Rape is the least of what he deserves. Try him as a domestic terrorist under the patriot act an make him disappear.
I hope when I finally do something stupid and evil that there is something popular that I can blame it on.
Ehh...
Doom made me do it...
GTA made me do it...
Satan speaking through my dog made me do it...
Further proof that there should only be one punishment for violent crime; an industrial meat grinder.
But I already have 666 just above my hairline.
