As good as Linux is... If it were Mainstream as Windows is now... We would still see Virii ect.. It would be a vastly diffrent world that we live in today but it would be Plauged with similiar problems..
Issue #1 Too many users Don't Patch! Linux will not nessarily fix this problem as Automated patch systems can be comprimised and will be... Why WindowsUpdate never was is Beyond me... I guess It all the about the path of least resistance.. Too easy to write exploits for well documented bugs in windows that remain unpatched for excessive periods of time.
Umm... SMTP was Broken by spammers... Well It was Broken when they opted for a Trust all deny none Model for the protocol... Inorder send email you should have to tell the complete truth of who your are and your organization... That in it self will make the who Anti-spam fight Easier.
Regulation will cost millions/billions and will fail to work on the global Internet.. Companies will just move off shore out of the reach of the long arm of the law... Why do you think 99% of the nastiest of the nasty spam comes from china?
They are the only 2 Choices you see in any distro these days... and for most distro's the choice is aparent... Maybe I worded it improperly.. But there should be a greater visibily of choice..
Basically you can have the same problems MS has had by the lack of Choice of options when installing... I can browse the Web with IE.. why do I need or want netscape.. Distro's are getting more and more New User Friendly all the time.. If Options present themselves during installation they may be opt to try them out rather than going with default..
As for the Other Desktops out there there is very little to no development being done on them it keep them Fresh... (I am not talking about window managers..)
In Actuality MS could most likely come up with the Most Secure E-voting Software
Voting Atendant: "Sorry all of our E-voting computers are plauged with a Blaster Worm variant and will not work.. Please use the standard Manual Process.."
This is why it Needs to be Regulated:)... Any Average Joe Using these Frequency's knock down usability and range.. If its set aside for a Purpose for Rural Boardband only people Providing this service should be able to use this portion of the spectrum.
Why Debate? Do we really want KDE or GNOME turn into the Next MS Desktop equiv?... Choice is a Good thing! I would love to see a third or fourth in the mix as well... Each Targeting a Specific target group of users so we have a Choice... One a the Evils (Sability and Security Aside) of the MS desktop is the elimination of Choice..
No ammount of money from corprate handouts could make this happen... The Supreme Courts would over turn any law imposed by the government that makes the like of linux Ilegal just because its free.. DMCA can't hinder this in any way as its not breaking any copyright and the comunity that develops the Core of linux make sure they do not infringe on copyrights. As for IP slowing down things.. Thats about all it can do is slow it down.. There will be breakthroughs on how to get around "IP" that or the Patent system will be adjusted to prevent companies monopolizing the "Patent Market"..
Guess they have never thought of "what are people going to say when we are blacklisted by every ISP and our practices will keep us banned?"

But It is a step forward.. Well Kinda:)
Legacy Software isn't allways great to keep around other than to read Archived Data.
Running your company on software that was developed 20+ years ago... Come on.. Its time to upgrade your software and migrate from legacy systems.. There isn't a need to constantly run the lastest and greatest... But there is a line to be crossed and migrating can increase effeciceny.
300 baud was considered fast for those that actually used 110.. but for the most part most people that was the first speed they saw... No-one ever called it high-speed... I would love to see some artwork for a "High-speed" 300 baud modem.
I thin it was US robotics that started high-speed with thier Courier line I think it was 9600 they had thier high-speed light on em... Thats where the coined term highspeed came from If I do remember correctly.. If I am wrong let me know... I would like to know who coined high-speed:)
Maybe they are Upsizing that position.. After all 2 creative minds are better than one when it comes to this stuff... So maybe once this person gets settled in we will see 2X the FUDD comming from sco in the filings:) Or just Possibly the person doing this now.. Is just fresh out of creativity and needs a 6 month vacation:)
Actually there is:) Do away with SMTP and use a protocol that is alot more secure..
There will still be spam but if action is taken to make the ability to send email from a domain a lengthy Trustworthy process(By trustworthy I mean a absolute verification of the owners identity) and flag thier email sending certificate with a risk assesment identifier (Unsavory practices lowers your ID and maybe refused depending on the reciving party's threshold) could leave a safe Haven for spammers to be able to spam those who wish to be spammed and maintaining a email service that isn't plaged with spam viable.
Well not really we never did see RDram hit the streets... Not alot of MB manufaturers wanted to support a litigation company that increased the cost of thier products...
That is because an Assumption was made.. and a incorrect one at that... If you don't like the language they use then talk to your congressman and get Stronger laws against Misrepresentation in commercial advertising.. Every Marketer will use what ever they can to fool the general public into thinking they are getting more than they actually are.
Never Assume anything.. Assumeing things Only leads to Makin a ASS outta U and ME
SCO is busy trying to keep "Infringing" code away from public eyes.. What for? if they own the rights to it then big deal.. No one can copy it anyway. But if some how they get away with this what Will happen? How could a judge let SCO get away with it..
I find it inconciveable that they will be able to hide thier "Infringed" code forever.. The second its Identified it will be cleaned and SCO will no-longer have any claim for licence fee's.
For some odd reason if sco is able to keep it a secret then who on earth will police SCO from charging thier licence fee's once enough changes have been made that thier code is removed?
LOL... In other new Microsoft continues to argue that they patch faster than Open Source does even though the Open Source community has patched the last 9 IE bugs before MS
Cool with the cure for cancer out of the way now we can start building the next great Wonder.. Longevity:) only have barely over 6 years to complete it before 2010 when the game is over:)
Buzzt! Wrong answer... Look at todays youngsters... Its not uncommon to see kids listening to thier parents music albums with very little to no "New" music in their music library... What does that have to say?
Bands 10+ years ago hung in for the long run.. For the most part today There is a much larger Majority of Hit and run Singles groups..
Do you really think that in even 5 years You will see brittany spears Crankin out "Hits" still? No... Her label will dump her as soon as she shows the slightest saging in her breasts or eventually people will get bored with her "Sound" that doesn't seem to change from album to album.
Whats going wrong with Music quality is there is far too much Cloning of sounds going on and less diversity... The record companies have thier magic music formula to "generate hits" and Its really wearing itself thin.
Its gotten to the point where I can't stand to listen to the radio at all anymore.. The same damn songs all day every day top hits hits being played what every 3 mins (well it seems that way).. Even the "Classic" Stations are wearing the livin hell out of old music.. Maybe its Radio thats killing the Music Star:)
Think of it a bit like Power... You have unlimited Access to power in your house.. But you do not have unlimited Consumption of that power... You would either start a fire or take down a portion of the power grid or a similar prediciment if you tried to consume more than whats avalible to you.
One Word... GAG ORDER.. Umm I guess thats 2... But the Judge should really Stick one to SCO to stop them from press releases that affect their stock value and collecting monies from companies based on pending litigation.
Aparently its in the Kernel Source.. So Download the Kernel Source and Look... Exactally where it is... Who knows:) But Its aparently there... So Exactally are they trying to keep secret? Or are they trying to prevent the kernel from being cleaned of SCO's IP code so they can continue to insist that everyone using linux owes them money.

\SCO should have learned from the mistakes that RAMBUS made... You can't build a business model around litigation. Wheres Rambus now?
Nonono... Fast-forwarding through commercials is stealing :)
