IBM or someone should take SCO up on their offer and go to court. Tie them up for decades until they suck every last dollar out of SCO, their employees all get fired, the excutives go broke, their kids get addicited to crack and they all fucking kill themselves.
This management by Mafia needs to stop and the only way to stop it is to fill a few ditches out in the desert with a few SCO executive bodies and those of their families.
Any corporate setting that already has ZLID running will never see any benefit to migrating to a new desktop firewall of unknown quality. The rule set you've worked so hard would be useless. And as far as anyone can tell the update fixes address the known vulnerabilities. Mega SPs will slow everyone down for very little if any perceived benefit.
While it's true that your run of the mill ERP or systems management deployment is creative a great deal of it is not. And piecing together these kits makes up a very large part of software 'development' nowadays.
If we look at pure development though we see much of the same. For programming tied to devices - a la driver code most of that is specifically NOT creative and it makes a great deal of sense to put that work alongside where, most likely, the device is being built.
If we look at what's left over - tools and applications it's hard to quibble with the idea that applications are more tied to requirements gathering than elegant applications development. After all a life cycle is a life cycle and most of the heavy lifting, apart from requirements, is in the version control management.
Leaving tools. Ok tools, compilers and other sophisticated objects need to go where the brains and managment talent are. - But does that translate to White Anglo America? I don't think so.
While this is clearly a forced death march to XP Home including the double-sized hardware you then need as a result - I have to wonder if 9x hasn't already run out of things to break? Break/Fix for 9x has GOT to be pretty damn stable.
Ok but you make a good point Glasshoppah. Now all the printers and MP3 devices and CDRW/DVD writers won't be supported in uplevels.
Well I still have lots of Win95 laying around and I was going to upgrade to win98SE just to clean up the decades worth of patches and mismatched DLL's. Looks like I'll just add some RAM and go to W2K instead. I already have that CD laying around. There is probably only one old machine in my house that can't run W2K at all so I'll leave that Win95 until it explodes.
Tell you what - buy only the most expensive electronics you can find. Make sure that all the workers are given a massage and nibbles of Brie to munch every 6 minutes.
And for the prices they charge you don't really care all that much about the specs. I'm sure there are some 1337 Gamerz who have to have that last 0.8% of performance.
I'm also sure that PHBs and suits will ALWAYS buy only HPaq. Or IBM Thinkpads or whatever they think they need.
OK I swear the next time we'll use only Laplander gangs and Orcs and shit. Those fat weird comic book store guy advocacy groups have nowhere near the fucking Voodoo Mojo as the Hatian drug lords of Miami which do in fact constitute a big part of crime there.
If Hatian community groups don't like the bad press they get then they should fix their own shit instead of suing the messenger.
Honestly - the great state of Calistan is going to require an armed psychiatrist with a cattleprod and a bottle of Prozac to sit in the lap of every driver soon.
One would think the UN would actively pursue any attempts to mass manufacture terrorists, tyrants, slaves and soldiers.
Isn't that kind of what the UN does for a living? Well let's just flip through the Qoran and see what their benevolent insect overlords have to say about it?
Of course on the down side, who are all the Islamonohilists going to STONE TO DEATH if the clone breeders aren't married?
Not all jobs are literally brain surgery but the cost and problems associated with fucking it up are rather extreme. That is why they get paid that to some extent. It's called occupational insurance.
You know that when Bayer first sold aspirin in the US in 1900 the cost was like a a nickle for this big bottle. No one bought it until they jacked the price to a buck.
I don't know about you but I pester events photographers until they get it exactly fucking perfect.
You would basically see the explosion, literally of the internet as a tool for terrorism if it were administered by the UN. You would no longer be able to knock off hamas, hezbollah and every other terrorist uh I mean freedom fighting organization.
The internet under UN control would become 100% dedicated to hate speech.
We've doubled the cost of our inspections and increased the number of counties covered from 9 to 50. We've also made the new test so restrictive that barely anyone gets away w/o several hundred dollars in repairs.
No one really cares about this. We should simply direct 100% of the entire law enforcement and legal system in the USoA against MP3 thieves instead. They're the real danger to freedom, democracy and safety.
Sure. They'll pitch this as an anti carjack, kidnap, child abduction law to get soccer mom buy in and then they'll just make it a required part of the annual safety inspection for new vehicles. As old vehicles go out of service there will be little need to grandfather them in.
Step 2 is constant motion monotoring to insure speed limit and red light compliance. This will be pitched as a cost savings measure since fewer cops will be needed. You'll simply get a bill in the mail each month for your driving usage and overage a.k.a. speeding/violations.
Step 3 is a comprehensive shut down program. Unpaid fines, lapsed insurance, orders of protection, domestic violence, etc. Will all be used to trigger the vehicle's shutdown.
They have got completely out of control. This is like giving legitimacy to the Mafia. Someone really needs to pack the truck with exploding material and drive it the fuck through their front door.
Nobody requires 'perfect' code you wanker. What they require is code where at least it is foreseeable to understand where plausible security problems will arise out of and how plausible fixes will be made.
In MS code you have neither. Severe problems can come from literally anywhere. Nothing can ever be set aside. Shit, the icons for your clipbook are probably exploitable. And similarly MS does a pretty awful job of telling you what patches might fix. From the obscure 100k dll-ette to the 170MB service pack, no one God's grey earth can tell you the fixes that are there. Everything's practically a goddamn leap of faith.
And let's be honest. MS security 'problems' are becoming lectures about starving gits in Asia. One is much like the last 3 million. No one is really listening all that hard anymore.
How much coal, oil, gas is required on a large scale to make all of that extra electricity that would be required? Seems to be close to a zero sum proposition.

Earthlink/Time Warner. $50/mo. inc tier 2 cable TV. Free cable modem, unlimited number of end points. Speed is rock solid 1Mbps in either direction.
My God. $4,000 who is going to buy this? P-Diddy? Martha Stewart?
Yeah - drive around in armor blowing the shit out of everything that moves. Five stars gets you an airstrike.

What's the stigma associated with having no previous job for the past several years?
Come to think of it what's the stigma of listening to the voices in your head when they tell you to strangle the cute young thing interviewing you?
~Me love you long time.

That or a shit throwing monkey.
So what?
