History has shown that the way to get a patch out of Microsoft is to have some third party come out with a patch. Even though it works they will say that the patch is risky (FUD) and the official patch will appear in a few days.
...Fire + Dead Coniferous Tree = Really Good Chance For A Fire That is a fact that has been proven repeatedly.... You might have something there. That could explain why our house has burned to the ground for the past four Christmases.
... The moral of the story: 1) Stay current with security patches 2) Hide what you use from the adversary. If they don't know you run ObscureWebServer 1.0, they don't know to try attacking it first. Keep them guessing....
Point 2 is just a variation of security by obscurity. Since a simple port scan can identify your software and its version number, this point can be ignored.
There's only one way to get me on a pilotless plane and that's as a virtual passenger. That's right, I'll stay at the airport and my virtual avatar can crash in the Atlantic when the plane's wireless link goes down as we pass behind an unusually dense cloud.
Damn liberals are never happy. For years now they have been complaining that too many of us Brits have been going to the pubs too often and drinking too much. Now that we are staying home and playing games on the Internet we are still addicted and going to hell in a handbasket.
Personally, I think they should set up Internet stations in the pubs. What a combo that would be.
I took a quick look around the many bits of paper scattered about my desk, most of which I looked at once and then chucked aside, and thought how useful this would be - until I noticed how many had been stapled together. Sure, you/can/ use paper clips, but my boss doesn't, and I can see a lot of people forgetting.
...So, yes, being completely unreachable is a necessary part of recharging yourself during a vacation. But be ready to walk into hell on your return.
I think it is better to relax unplugged for an entire vacation and then walk into hell than to have one's vacation ruined half way through, having to clean up remotely or worse yet, having to return early.
...FOSS projects operate in a totally different ecosystem from commercial closed source software. The success of closed source / commercial software could simply be measured by the amount of money it makes for the creator. FOSS success is less trivial to measure....
The success of FOSS can be measured by the number of downloads per release (DPR). If people dislike your software the DPR will drop but if your software is great the DPR will increase.

A stable, secure, open, easy to use OS is lame? What would not be lame in your opinion?
Well, a constantly changing, security nightmare with a steady stream of patches, closed source, hard-to-program patchwork quilt called Vista is certainly not lame. In fact it is damned exciting--who could fail to succumb to rising blood pressure and cardiac arrhythmia every time new software is deployed on the Internet or on your office machines.
For extra excitement try the malware lottery: What will the next malware found do? Will it be a simple virus,a worm, nasty spyware or a trojan? How will it affect you? Will it trash files, become a zombie, log keystrokes or install a rootkit? Will it be a mashup of any of the above?
In the interest of promoting scientific interest at the office I ran another poll and asked verbally, not by email, everyone in the office: "Did you know they discovered a dark spot on Uranus?" Interestingly enough, most the females turned beet red and whispered, "No!" Most of the guys called me a flaming faggot. I took that as a no.
Oddly enough, I was cautioned a second time by the prez. but it wasn't as bad as the time I thought I lost "Uncle Wiggly," my pet rooster and asked for help over the public intercom.

There is nothing wrong with Quebec. They simply disallow all forms of lotteries, gambling and contests as being sinful and a temptation of the devil.
