Well - lets just say that the primary Browser, Mail client and Web server was the only insecure parts in windows(And not look a basic design flaws like messaging), I would say that it was far far to many flaws allready!
Lets face it - 98% of the users use their browser/mail client every day, so it is pretty important(imho) that those programs are as secure as possible!
This is in no way to bash MS - i just found the parent message to be funny!:D
No - offcourse you wont use a CD-R for a 40k document - you would probably mail it!
Offcourse there are the need of legacy hardware in some situations, but in most there wont be a need - so why dont get rid of them and save the cost/space?
Well - I see your point, an I am oppesed to needless MS bashing as well! The difference between the OSS vulnaribilities and this IE is that the OSS vulnaribilities is fixed rather easy, and Microsofts solution to the problem(Dont trust MS activex controls) just wont help the average user as he has no idea how to not trust Microsoft
As you say - there are bugs in ALL software - but there are great differences in how quickly those bugs are fixed!
I really need to file a patent for my "inhale air" idea - it has shown great potential in early tests - unlike my "use brain" idea, which doesnt seem likely to be used to sue rich people that annoys me...
You say tou cant force gc to occur! What about System.gc()? As a programmer you could call this when your program does nothing!
Off course its not 100% control, but at least you have the option to suggest the vm taht now would be a good time to gc, and thereby minimizing the risk of gc occuring when your doing something time critical

I just HAD to mod that one as funny!

Well - I havent had a floppy drive in my machine the last 2 years - and what should i use it for?
As soon as you have a CD-RW drive I fail to see why anyone would need a floppydrive...

Come to think about it: The BeoWolf could definately be a valid name for a cool plane...
If it doesnt scale, we will just make a cluster of them instead!
See - Macs have just as many bugs as Windows machines...

(Know it - too bad a joke to be posted - but i just got out of bed and dont think clearly
mod this one down plz!!!
+10db is twice as loud to the human ear!
So the 65 db down to 40 db should be something like 5-6 times less loud to the human ear!
Its the energy that is 10 times as big when you go up 10db!
Example:
A 10W stereo plays x db
A similar stereo with 100W plays x + 10 db
A similar stereo with 1000W plays x + 20 db
Do you imply that Windows XP works today???
