ever tried running IE or Explorer with runas If you can't run IE or explorer you and/or your system are screwed up. They will indeed run, I do it all the time for windows update.
If you can't do it you might want to look into a new line of work, since there is nothing that has to be done to make it work. Of course its so much easier to blame MS then it is to realize that you screwed up, have fun with the next virus outbreak.
So if Oracle shipped with Windows, you would include Windows bugs in a count against Oracle? Sorry, but a little reading comprehension refresher seems to be in order, this is called an explanation. What is the Linux 2.6 production kernel? Linux is a kernel that shipped with software from Red Hat, Novell and other major Linux software vendors. That statement explains what the linux kernel is, not that they counted all of the bugs in all of the software included in a distro. The bug count would have been much higher if they had. Go and count the number of bugs logged against KDE, Gnome, GCC, and X to get an idea what could have been counted had they tried to make a fair comparison. A Linux distro might still have less, but personally I'd bet that the BSD's have less.
doesn't mention the 3D interface used in the first Jurassic Park It probably doesn't since that was just a file system viewer and it was taken out of Irix. You can get lookalikes for linux though if you wanted to waste some CPU cycles looking for those porn images.
How is this drivel insightfull? Untill someone said that Turing was gay in the same vein you have, ie out of the blue for no apperent reason, I had no idea, it just wasn't important. Being gay isn't a big issue, pushing it in peoples faces is. Why did you say Turing was gay? What was the point? Your not answering another post, no one else said it till you did, so why did you feel the need to? Sorry, but its people like you who are worse then anyone going around screeming "Get lost faggot." There are always idiots around and its easy to ignore them, but you felt the need to drop this little 'tidbit' of information attempting to pull a 'oh poor me, im so enlightended but these little children around me make me look bad." Your gay, fine. Turing was gay, fine, but stop whining about it. You want to be accepted like everyone else? Then shutup and act like everyone else. You have gone and labled yourself as gay, and from the post I doubt that this is the only time you've gone out of your way to do that. You are the one who brought to everyones attention that you are different, if you hadn't, no one would care. You want to be accepted, then stop going around and trying to separate yourself.
I had some problems on and off for a week or two with a few addresses in Japan. Only like an hour at a time and was no match for my OpenBSD pf and my fantastic (simple) ruleset. It was a few hours at a time, then began to trail off. Not really anythnig to block a whole subnet for, don't you think you might be overreacting a little.
This is where VPNs and encryption come in.
And the number of places deploying VPN's and encryption over their wireless networks are... ? Have you ever walked around a city with a wireless device?
still have the issue of authentication There used to be the issue of access before you had to deal with the weak authentication thats set up in most places. Admins are bending over backwards to open holes as they deploy wireless networks.
Its just so fantastic to be able to break into a network in a few moments and be on your way to a big payoff through corporate espionage with next to no work. You just have to love how technology is adopted in critical areas well before anyone has got off their ass to learn how to do it right.
What's the difference between Gentoo or compiling everything yourself on Slackware? Its exactly the same thing, the only difference is the amount of manual work. When I decided to do a LFS system, I started with a very basic Slackware installation, a kernel, libraries and GCC and went from there, eventually replacing everything.
Its no governments job to police the internet. I bet you post against the Great Firewall of China is every time it is mentioned, and yet here you are advocating the same thing. Blocking does nothing.
A password that never expires means that the intruder has access for as long as that account exists, if the intrusion was never detected. That is not serious security. Password expiration IS for serious security, and passwords should expire very frequently. However, that is not very friendly to your users, so the admin has to weigh usability with security A 30-60 day policy seems resonable to me, but it might not to the next guy.
Every organization other then the absolute smallest places should be expiring passwords, or personally I would consider the admin slacking on the job.
Just because when an attacker has physical access all bets are off, doesn't mean that you don't impliment security, otherwise why not just have firewalls and do away with passwords on internal systems completely.
Personally I've found it extreemly simple. I just pay a little more attention to the versions of the big packages, like X, KDE, Samba and what not. KDE I scripted and it too downloads from CVS automagically, X I still do manually, but after the large packages are updated, thats most of your libraries right there. Its not too complex, it just requires a little bit of planning.
allow you to run on hardware different from the original That would be a hardware emulator.
win32 implementation for Linux No, its intersepting win32 calls and translating them to something the Linux system understands. It is emulating a Windows environment.
There is nothing about it being an emulator that means it has to pretend its running on different hardware then it is, for instance VirtualPC running on a Intel machine. Its still an emulator, but it is providing exactly the same machine type and hardware to the guest OS. Wine emulates a Windows environment, it is an emulator.
There might be more but I got tired of looking at source for opening files. Interestingly there is a post there talking about copylefts and HP's Open source X, a post about Caldera opening the source to DR-DOS, BSD's open source policy and someone asking for something that has the source. Sorry but open source is sometimes just a phrase that means just that, its not always a religious statement.
A critical essay is not a review, and a review is not supposed to be an essay, at least in the common usage of the terms relating to reviewing books, movies, events and whatnot. A critical essay is to pick apart the work to render a decision on the work, a review is a high level glossing over of the work to make people interested in it, or turn people away from it.
Open source is just two words that literally mean access to the source, thats it, nothing special. I would bet that the GNU project called their stuff free and open, its just a phrase. Not until people became obsessed with labels and the need to differenciate themselves from so called Free Software did 'Open Source' come to mean something else in specific contexts. OEM's have access to the Windows CE source, therefore saying that 'Windows CE is open source for OEM's' is correct, since the lable 'Open Source' is obviously not applicable and we are just using the words open and source together.

That ain't no woman! It's a fellow, man!
I feel so retarded now.
Until you asked them to do work. Never seen so much laziness as at a high school science fair.

they've sort of made their bed with the gigahertz-race
Yes intel is doomed because of course, nothing ever changes

Are ALL Chinese assisting with this? Thats why its rediculous, inflammatory, xenophobic and racist.

Its called WOL, Wake on Lan, its not a rumour. However it needs a special WOL packet to trigger it, not just a ping.

I hate people that put their password under their keyboard. Like damn people, on the underside of the desk, is that so much to ask.

No they get cooler gadgets. Personally I wouldn't buy them all, but damn they're cool.
Great! Now I can add all of my typos and misspellings to the dictionary and the slashdot spelling weenies won't be able to say anything.
Then I'm sure you can provide a reference to somebody using the term "open source" as a synonym for "with source" from before the popular use arised
Of course I can.
