Great explaination! That is exactly how businesses examine situations. It is also how criminals decide whether to commit a crime...
(Will I get caught | no | Do it
|
Yes
|
Will I be punished? | no | do it
|
Yes
|
Is it worth it? | yes | do it
|
No | Don't do it.)
{My background is criminal justice, and I currently teach it @ college level...}
J.R.R. Tolkein had a perpetual calendar for the Evles and Hobbits. They were outlined in some of the appendicies. Of course, there were only six days in a week, and some days fell outside of months.
Well, that's the way I would understand that statment. I guess M$ can save a lot of money on not improving security and putting it into marketing. I certainly hope that MS would not take that path. I have to use it at work, but also use x86 Solaris and linux of various flavors...
I have used both DirectTV and DISH network satellite TV and have had cable in the past. I have had few problems with either service. If there is a thunderhead or similar type cloud between the dish and satellite, you will loose reception for a period of time. The most time I lost signal was about 45 minutes, when a tropical depression passed overhead. Conversely, when I had cable, I would frequently loose signal for several hours, in sunshine or rain. Cable is also suceptible to traffic accidents or the occasional cut loine by the local utility department when installing water, sewer, etc.
