would i want o make doing something on my computer take MORE time?
what if i bcc something to 50 people? it'll take 8 minutes and freeze my computer for the whole time? this would have to be the shitest solution to spam i have ever heard.
typical of bill gates, make it slow and cost money, make up for it buy throwing millions in marketing behind it.
*sigh* once again people miss the point. hoestly why the hell does slashdot even post these stories. you always have the clueless and the even more clueless arguing.
READ MY TEXT!!!
1: just becuase it's open source, doesn't mean you can't get paid for working on it, THESE TWO FACTORS ARE NOT RELATED DO YOU GET ME?
2: FOR THE SLOW WITTED, SEE RULE 1 AGAIN!!
OSS simply uses a different business model. example: business X uses OSS, they need a new feature added. becuase it's OSS they can pay anyone to add said feature.
1:add code.
2:profit!
this is very very common, OSS just opens up the playing field to anyone and doesn't allow companies to hold everyone to ransom due to their supposed "secret sauce"
your short sighted and lack perspective and it shows with this comment "There is very little that some one needs a computer for outside of working" so outside of work you never buy anything, go anywhere or use the internet? my how sad!
it costs no more to setup and mantain a linux system then a MS system, and your not paying license fees or being hammered by worms.
so yes it does save yo a ton of money
no no no no, he's not saying that at all!
there's nothing about descriptions of faults there. i don't believe MS give enough detail on faults to write any kind of exploit in the first place.
This is the ultimate in stick your head in the sand and hope it goes away security.
they would LOVE it if they could remote patch machines, keep patches all in house have no one cept them know their embaressing secrets. pity it doesn't work in reality.
Good point, and normally this would be the case but Intel are stuck between a rock and a hard place right now. firstly their x86-64bit is vaporware so the delay in developing new instructions would hand AMD an enormous lead in the market, secondly once AMD had this lead intel bringing our an incompatable chip would be itanic style sucide.
I mean athlon64 is THE standard, CIO's aren't going to switch to a non standard chip which costs 2x as much.
No matter whawt MS do the AV vendors are going to take a hit.
they include a virus scanner, everyone will use it killing them in the market place.
they fix their OS so it's less vunerable, AV vendors have less of a market.
good riddence i say AV companies are as bad as used car salesmen.
*sigh* are you reading the posts?
people are saying MS should be designing their OS to be less of a play ground for viruses, and to not ship yet another application which uses their monoply to stamp out competition.
any fool can see 3 years down the track we will start paying annual fees to MS for virus updates if this is allowed to happen
you people haven't a clue.
You think linux = programmers not getting paid? idiot, there is nothing stopping the ATO employing programmers to work on OSS for them, if anything it means MORE free money for I.T jobs in general and not sending money down a large over seas corp. hole.
good work ATO i hope you can ween yourselfs off MS software altogether.
your living in a fools paradise.
1: lift prints from an ATM? are you nuts? do you realise how many people coudl have touched it? it'd be worthless.
2: reporting things like this tend to be a case of the messenger getting shot. they would be NUTS to do anything other then what they did
The parent REEKS of the same selfrightous crap that spammers use to defend their actions.
They aren't talking about targeted emails, this is just a bulk send with end users footing the bill to support their campaings.
the cost of MIRGATING to linux is higher than the annual fees of ms software. MIRGATING people. thats different to forking out for upgrades. for this they are having to redevelope software and test systems which costs in man hours. frankly i'd be shocked if this inital change didn't cost more.
lets have a look 2 years from now and i'm betting they will be saving millions.
no you see thats not what sco want. Darl see's linux as a life line for SCO. in his twisted little mind he is convinced large amounts of unix code is in linux (becuase surely this linux crowd couldn't writ an OS by themselfs! it takes a company to do that!)
he i am sure he envisages sco taking a slice from every copy of linux sold or downloaded. it makes sense becuase sco have no viable product to sell and if you look at his comments he thinks of himself as some kind of savior to computing and humanity in general.
Slashdot Mirror
yeah thats some fucked up shit right there. what the hell are these kids parents doing?
would i want o make doing something on my computer take MORE time? what if i bcc something to 50 people? it'll take 8 minutes and freeze my computer for the whole time? this would have to be the shitest solution to spam i have ever heard. typical of bill gates, make it slow and cost money, make up for it buy throwing millions in marketing behind it.

my how sad!
i could say the same about any type of content, eg books...
it costs no more to setup and mantain a linux system then a MS system, and your not paying license fees or being hammered by worms. so yes it does save yo a ton of money
man i could not have put it better myself. right on brother.

EFF would be setting a good president if they win this one, helping similar projects
again, dribble. SPAM IS NOT FREE SPEECH!!!! free speech is the ablity to say what you want, not the ablity to force people to listen!!!

oh-my-god flamebait!!!!!!!!
this guy was an asshole and deserved the bad review in the first place.
can coding style be used as evidence like hand writing samples?
i have a 17" lcd and i find it a pleasure to work with. i only wish i had one at work.
