I would like to be able to decide which of the two sets of DNA are set as 'active' at a given time. That would be nice for things like murdering my wife and whoever she is sleeping with outside of our house, and then getting away with the crime.
If I notice that my car's brakes aren't working that well, I can do one of three things. I can A: repair the brakes or B: take my car to someone who can to fix the brakes or C: drive around as if nothing's wrong. If I run over somebody because my brakes don't work, I'm pretty sure I can get sued because I'd be responsible for my car.
Once again, someone who tries to apply a metaphor from the real world, and fails.
You see, almost every day I get kiddie porn spam. Young russian girls, y.o.u.n.g BOYZ!, girls and horses, all kinds of crap. Sometimes they attach pictures, usually they don't. I always delete them. They're not actually deleted of course though, and the thought has crossed my mind: could something like this be used as a form of entrapment?
"Look, we found KIDDIE PORN in his TRASH FOLDER!!!"
So, if you wanted to make a little comparison with real life, in this case it would be more akin to someone cutting your brake lines and you driving into a crowd of people and then being held responsible then sent to prison.
Of course, since the moderation system on Slashdot was meant to censor anyone with an even slightly unpopular opinion.. this will be posted at 0. Oh well..
You can't get people to upgrade their mail servers now, or any other part of their server, so how can you expect them to upgrade to something completely different?
The fact that vulnerabilities get found and fixed on linux is hardly a blackmark.
I'm not looking to get involved in some battle of the zealots with you or anything, but what you said of course, doesn't make any sense. Of course it's a 'blackmark'. There is always a period between when a vulnerability is discovered, and when it was fixed that the machine was - guess what - vulnerable to compromise. Also, the more bugs that are found on a regular basis, regardless of wether or not they do eventually get patched is bad. With that many holes known to the public and security communities, you can be sure there are more that are unknown with exploits being traded in private. And using your logic, why harp on Microsoft then? After all, they eventually patch all their major security holes. Bleh.

I dont know on what planet everything is fine when you end up Angeline Jolie. Eww. That is the furtherest thing from fine if you ask me.
You don't find a woman with the appearance of a corpse, and a vial of aids infected blood dangling from her neck attractive? Why, I never.
But nobody with a Mac or a Linux PC has had to lose a moment of sleep over these outbreaks
Yeah, and neither has anyone with an atari, amiga, commodore, apple, xbox, or PS2.

If the DNA don't fit.. well.. uhh.. ahh shit.

(cue rim-shot)
At first I thought you said "cue rim job", and I thought that was pretty odd, but still funny. Then I remembered that I'm an idiot.
Don't get me wrong though, I'm not saying you're not gay.

Shhh.. keep it down, what are you trying to do? Start a riot? This is Slashdot, not some sort of place to post facts.
