You mean like dell, intel, ebay, Mcafee.... please get a life, people base their server decision on needs (internal needs, developer, security, speed, ease of use, deployment, history) , not some religous belief of some product is always better.
You do not want applications continuing to use the old version. That is the problem with most unix implementation. They continue to use old libs, and have security issues. Windows and macs just forces you to restart on the safe side.
Well, I have been using my 360 as MCE extender. And everything works fine for me.... But my problem is that when you have recorded tv that gets streched out to 720p it looks sooo terrible. Once i bumbed up the video quality, it seems better. My other problem is that I usually like my usual 4:3 channels to strech on tv, and cannot seem to find a way to do that.
However I find it funny that the submission blames MS/360 for a crash in some third party product.... And I have not had any issues with my 360.
you mean it WAS true in VS 2003. VS 2005 fixes all of it, uses flow layout. It also writes standards compliant code. + it was not hard to switch settings to make it 508 compliant. Of course i do wish there was a way to use no client side scripting, but that wont happen.
This has nothing really to do with IE. IE here just happens to be a vector. If FF on windows was depending on those libraries to display those image formats they would be vulnerable as well.

may be you have never been to poluted(air) city.. You should try New Delhi. I am sure there are a lot of other out there as well. But I think Delhi is one of the worst I have seen. Parts of downtown chicago also have that problem.
Driving cars puts smoke in the air as well. Peoples cars put out more chemicals than most smokers would. So where do you draw the line. Maybe they should ban driving around where people walk. Seems unreasonable doesnt it.
Personally I use Kubuntu, it has been working very well and they do have latest and greatest versions.
However I do support Novell on this, the linux distributions need to standardize on some desktop, and it was not helping having different distros from novell and suse using different window/desktop/ui managers.
It really is not just about Response.Write, it is about, dynamic generation of forms, creating real 3 tier applications, absracting data, creation and easy reuse of controls etc. Which make very clean maintinable but a little bloated applications.
1) They use ASP.NET with VB.Net, which is Object Oriented, and any day for me a better environment to develop web apps than php or perl (ya so burn me). I do not know about you PHP and ASP 3.0 (vbscript or javascript) both lend themselves to bad code, because they are at heart scripting languages. Not to say people cannot develop clean applications on them 2) IIS 6 does not have any remote vulnerabilites in its default install. It has been out for two years. Thus if you compare IIS 6 to Apache 2, IIS is far more secure than apache. IIS 6 Application management far outstrips what apache currently has.
In summation, if you dont know what you are talking about, either learn, or quit spreading mis information
mmm, If you noticed the OpenOffice running at 1/3 the of MS Office article. Then I would think OO would be the one with more requirements. Irregardless, this argument is about OpenDocument, not open office. And i really doubt either side is promoting their idea for the good of society, they do it for their own personal beliefs.
And it is just soooo easy to get karma by supporting Microsoft on slashdot.... LOL. This is slashdot, so you got modded up for trolling about someone being pro-MS, good job on getting karma by putting down MS.
MSN has always offered some kinds of hosting, but now they offer sharepoint as hosting. OK lets see here, sharepoint has been available for a long time. So MS offering their product that existed pre google ideas, as a host, which also pre existed google is copying. MS has been trying to get into software as a service, and when they launced sharepoint a lot of people figured that is where they were heading.
I guess it is slashdot, for every valid argument that are a million others that just dont make any sense. Oh but i do agree in general MS does copy things, but which company does not. If someone betters you better be copying and improving...
oh please, nowadays people use the same damn programs on macs and pcs when it some more pro/office applications. (except when apple makes the products aka final cut pro, whatever they released yesterday)
personally i find them more appealing if they were more neutral, and actually be news for nerds, instead of, just a biased view of tech news. Dont get me wrong, what goes in the comments area i do not care, people have their own view and opinions about MS, apple, goolge, ibm, sun, sco etc. BUT the news article submissions must be neutral, and it is the editors jobs to get that right
I had to respond to this, I lol. I run all kinds of services based on windows, debian, and bsd. I do not think you understood we were even talking about configuration files, because most of the "Standards" you point to are not used in configuration files.
For instance look up apache's config file, then samba config file, then grab sendmail and bind, and tell me what is common amoung their config files. I pick those four because they are THE most common services on *nix.
ACLs who needs em..... Well any organization where security matters more. People do not logon in windows as Admin in any organization where sys admins put some thought into security, and that is a lot of organizations. (thanks to code red, slammers, spyware)
"it is either put in user or etc, you do not have an option of put in etc but allow just this setting for users"
That says exactly what it means, you have two places in unix essentially, etc and user folder (~/) (not that all programs store them there either). You cannot use any role based security for a particular setting.
If i wanted to be just feeding windows people i would have just pointed out windows pros and unix cons. I would recommed you drop your MS hate or linux religion, and just learn Windows and *nix as they are. Faulty but impressive systems, used right can and do fix problems for users.
Both systems blow, and just as equally. It is the difference between any centralized and distributed system.
Centralzied-
Clean standard
less flexibility
single point of failure
better security (advanced ACL support, not every app has it own parser)
OS maintained
Terrible portability
Distributed
no standard exists
more flexibity
no single point of failure
weaker security (it is either put in user or etc, you do not have an option of put in etc but allow just this setting for users)
App maintained
Easy portability
Best solution is to use both and let app decide
but a nightmare for sys admins
Well see MS was not declared a monopoly until court pronounced it as such. So what are companies supposed to do until then?
When you are at 69% market share something is legal and at 70% it is not? Even the courts or the laws cannot agree is what exactly a monopoly is. The entire concept of having a monopoly and abusing it is f'ed up. This is esp. true when competitors can do the same. The way I look at it, if Apple bundles iTunes with their OS, and MS competes with them, they should be allowed to do the same.
Of course the problem is how to protect companies like Real wants to compete with Apple and MS, on particular part of their OS. There are no good answers that treats everyone fairly.
I would you would one of those people that thought firefox was secure as well. I use firefox not because it is more secure, but because it is targeted less.
There are NO OSes are immune to security woes, including OS X, linux etc. If you think you, well you need a lot of education. MS already fixed the no ports open by default with XP SP2, now they only have to fix the default Administrator priviledges on home computers. EVERY other problem is created by the user, lauching untrusted applications in any OS will be make vulnerable.

funny... I dont smoke.... I do have a car either (yet)... I was being a DA there. and no i am not a teen.
PS. Allergies are quite different than health hazards
maybe you missed the where people walk... that would also be sidewalks, park areas, near downtown areas... and i could go on.
Driving cars puts smoke in the air as well. Peoples cars put out more chemicals than most smokers would. So where do you draw the line. Maybe they should ban driving around where people walk. Seems unreasonable doesnt it.

SOrry I am confused as to what your point is?
Are you saying real has no excuse, as MS had a movie player before real existed. Or something else?
