And every night there are tens of thousands of people playing Halo2 online...
Halo2 may be just another multiplayer FPS, but it happens to be the current best multiplayer FPS on any console, by a HUGE margin.
The freaks have been saying Microsoft (or in Slashdot speak M$), has been going under for years now.
yet somehow they keep making more money Q after Q...
Why? Hell lets all go back and use Slack.9.
Afterall what possible benefit could SuSe, RedHat, Debian, Gentoo of today give us that is not already there.
Never mind the fact that Wikipedia contains very inaccurate information (just look at some of the facts about World War II weapon systems for example, or modern space exploration vehicles, manned and unmanned, or hell even some basic physics), let alone its very linux biased to the point of being nearly anti-anything that isn't open source....
Former iD programmer.
And there is nothing wrong with ActiveX when used properly.
Of course there are plenty of morons in the world who think changing default settings to NONE is a good thing...
1.) How many servers does Apple have load balancing their front end?
2.) How many servers does the MWSF have on their front end?
Microsoft's own site is one of the heaviest hit sites around, has thousands of attempted attacks and plenty of people trying to DOS it, but it still continues to run rather well.
A Miner Dwarf in Thunder Bluff? No you didn't. Dwarfs really would have a hard time there considering it is a Horde town and Dwarf's are alliance.
Tauren start there though.
Agreed, what version of Windows is this idiot writing about.
I've been removing drives from Windows boxes "gracefully" for years. It works, and it works well.
You've never worked for me before, you do nothing that my current OS cannot do just as well, you don't work with all my current software, and I don't have 10 hours to futz around with settings to get you to work well with my video card and monitor, as well as mouse, DVD burner and TV tuner.
Linux, your are nothing more than a waste of time and supported by a bunch of bozo's full of hot air and FUD...
He broke the LAW. Like it or not, it is the LAW. It wasn't just passed under Bush, these laws stated under Clinton and the RIAA and other such organizations with TONNES of money that make butt loads of donations to both Political Parties in the US.
Quite frankly, the guy deserves what he got. He prirated software, which is stealing, and now he is going to go to jail.
Have fun buddy, hope you like it rough and from behind.
Yet some people are perfectly willing to idolize Linus, or RMS...
So what, he likes SOME stuff Microsoft does. I like SOME stuff Linux does, but you don't see me running out and converting to Linux...
The amount of hypocracy is amazing...
Actually it's not even one of three branches, it's one of three branches servers moving from UNIX (Solaris on Sun hardware) to Linux on Intel commodity hardware...
Big difference...
It's just typical/. spin...
Eric Raymond speaking out against MS! Say it ain't so!
For those of us who work in corporate environments, Linux is FAR from free. I don't know of any major company that can go without some level of support, and that's not going to be free folks...
So lemme get this right, this wouldn't ever happen if you were a linux shop?
1000 systems and 25 servers isn't so small. We have a test lab, I tested the patch, it worked, and I deployed it to all the systems via SUS. Quick and painless.
I forgot to mention, there is only ONE person on the IS team (other than the 2 person help desk) and thats ME.
If your company is too stupid to care about security, and using the right tools, maybe you should be looking for another job, because apparently you cannot handle the one you got.
What it tells us about Microsoft, is there are people out there who cannot take care of systems.
This includes Linux boxes and Mac boxes as well.
Wake up and smell the damn coffee, it's not a problem exclusive to Microsoft, as much as some of the Linux rah-rah club would like to think.
Why is it OK for Linux to patch the hell outta itself but a damn near capital crime if Microsoft has to?
Grow up.
Microsoft released a patch, people did not install the patch. Who's fault is that? None of the 1000+ systems in my office were infected because I'm intelligent enough to have policies in place to prevent stuff like this from happening.
Considering I can (and do) anything that RedHat can do with Microsoft's products, I'd have to say you honestly don't know what you are talking about...

I can see all the Slashdot freaks getting into Raman Noodle flavoured prints. Or better yet, get some caffinated ink and print out a can of Dew!

I've already blackholed any mail coming from the Chinese net blocks. I don't worry about SPAM from them at all.
70% Of IBM's Server market is Windows based x86 servers... Somehow I doubt they will be making that move any time soon.

All the major OS studies show that the use of MacOS is still in decline... Quite a bit the last two quarters in fact.
Holy Apple fanboi'ism. iTunes is horrible. It's a CPU suck, a memory hound and doesn't do WMA...

Mostly because I like pissing people like you off...

Blue lasers, now this... Lets all not forget about ATRAC3. Yet more proof that Sony is indeed afraid of the Xbox and the next gen Xbox.
Actually as of last count about 70-73% of ALL SPAM going TO the US is from China.

Get a life.
People can trash Microsoft all they want, but oh GOD! teh EBAL! if someone, especially Microsoft bad mouths Linux.
Welcome to the real world, if you can't stand the heat, stay in your parent's basement.
