It is kinda sad, acutally. I find that Windows 2000 Server is pretty stable when used with good hardware, but it is indeed hard to test the endurance of the Windows 2000 servers because most critical patches do require a reboot. MS did reduce the amount of reboots with 2003 Server but did not eliminate them.
Only time that you'll need to reboot on GNU/Linux OS for the kernel updates, and I'm pretty sure it's the same way for UNIXes, and *BSDs.
I use a SUS server for my organization as well. I set my domain policy to have the workstations and servers check the SUS server once a week so it will give me some time to test out and get feedbacks on patches. If there is a chance of imminent attack, I can alway patch them manually.
I guess you didn't hear about the patch for XP that disabled Internet access for hundreds of thousands of users. And while I had good luck with service packs, many others did not.
BTW, you may want to change your sig because at first, I thought that it was part of the message. Most mods won't know the differents and will mod you flamebait.
Who says he doesn't? You honestly think that a college student without any money pays much of, if any, tax? My guess is that he's going to a tax payer funded college and maybe even getting financial aid on top of that. I'm making assumions about him but he made assumions about me so it's fair game.
"Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't make him a "leech.""
Just as if I disagree with someone doesn't make me a "cocksucker".
An Iranian family who fled Iran with only four suitcases. A Vietnamese who came over on a boat. A 35 year old Korean that came over here with his first job being a janitor. What do all of them have in common? They didn't speak a word of English when they came to US but they are all millionaires now. I know all of them personally and they got to where they are now due to work hard, not by sitting on their asses and bitching on Slashdot all day. It's really pathetic when disadvantaged immigrants and achieve the "American Dream" while many of you only sit around chanting "Oh poor me".
If you think that you can do better in France, why not go there instead of just talking about it? Although I doubt that you'll do any better there since their unemployment rate is higher.
"Hell, Microsoft doesn't think they're doing anything wrong."
I guess you haven't read their internal E-mails. MS sure knew they were doing something wrong when it "lost" a bunch of E-mails.
"If you dont like this country then leave attitude"
And guess what? A lot of immigrants left their country and came to US because of that attitude, and many of them are doing quite well.
"there is only freedom of speech if doesn't go against out cultural norms."
If that's true, why didn't the feds shutdown slashdot for anti-government comments?
"One is I dont have the money to move their atm, maybe when I'm done with univ."
Be my guest. US will be better off with less leeches like you. Heck, I've met many hard working Mexcians while I was with UPS and I'd consider even one of them more beneficial to US than ten leeches like you.
I have nothing against natural monopolies but my gripe is that laws like this attempts to create artificial monoplies. For example, I wouldn't mind if MS gains monoply due merits of its products, but I do mind if MS does it by threatning the OEMs or breaking the standards just for the sake of gaining monoply.
I think that the problem is that US is becoming less capitalistic. Capitalism is about about competition and this does nothing to promote it. It's sad to see that US is moving away from capitalism whereas China is starting to embrace it.
Very well put, but getting everyone else motivated/informed is a very hard task, which most people aren't willing to undertake. Most people tend to not care about subjects that they don't understand.
First of all, Windows 2000/XP is set to automatically restart after a BSOD after the memory dump. On most modern systems, the dump happens quick enough that the user won't even see the BSOD unless the settings where changed to disable auto-restart.
Besides, it's take to take someone with a sig with a link to "Linux Security Flaw" site that lists NetBSD vulnerabilities.
More proof that Pave Low should DTFR (Do The Fucking Research). Did you know that Microsoft is one of Baystar's top 10 investors? Don't take my word for it, do some research on Baystar's own website.
Firewall's not a substitute for regular patching and spam filters can filter out legit E-mails. Not to mention the increased cost from the mentioned services, which will be passed down to the consumers.

But they did. That story even made it to CNN.com. I did not apply that patch until MS released a fixed patch.

I wait until I get feedbacks from sites such as The Register to make sure that the patch doesn't break anything.

Not to mention that you can "vote" more than once.
Because Ballmer is a monkey, not a weasel. Didn't you see his monkey dance?

Then what are you babbling about?

While Wal-Mart may have played a big role in the demise of mon-n-pop shops, it was the consumers thatthat destroyed the mom-n-pop shops.
The RIAA uses trial lawers to sue consumers and guess which party is trial lawers' favorate?
And I guess you didn't see foxnews.com's coverage on Arnold about his past comments and womenizing.
You should go ahead and go to France because there is a backlog of people trying to get into US to improve their lives.
But than you'll need to group RIAA with the Democrats. Remember Sen. Hollings?
I guess US should've gone with the old fashioned carpet bombing of Iraq. That wouldn've saved a lot of people, huh?
You really should work as a spy since you can read the minds of military officals and you seem to be an expert on smart weapons.

Maybe you should checkout the Slashdot FAQ and see for yourself what kind of OS Slashdot runs.
Just tell him that your "friend" sent you the link via E-mail.

Maybe they figured that Windows users will be more willing to put up with the activation procedue, as demonstrated by Windows and Office XP.
I'm not sure about the global warming but my friend got STD from using Mircosoft Branded condoms... It was full of holes!
