First of all, to use these software are hard to use for the average person. Second, some concept are very hard to understand, like what is man in the middle, and why does the NSA "keep" the encrypted information. (This is easy to understand for people in the business but not for my parents)
And finally, I have personally use some of them and they have "lots" of bugs.. I mean, does not work properly..
And you want me to trust some company that opened it's door less than 2 years ago ?
What, You mean there's more than the title? Of course i've read TFA. I was just expressing concern to what's going on.. You see I cannot be suprised anymore by judge or lawers theses days..;)
OK, now, is Microsoft protecting itself from external threat or protecting it's monopoly?
On a side note I had difficulties installing ZoneAlarm on Windows XP SP2. These was (seems) to be a conflit between the firewall of Zonealarm and the one in WindowsXP.. ( No network connection was possible) Anyway,
It is a GREAT idea to isolate IE from the core of the OS. But I should be able to use the Firewall i want (Either the free or paid one.)
Hargh, it's no use.. Please MS, continue to put barrier and block etc etc.. At least more and more people with understand what you'r up to and will start using Linux (Any distro will do fine) For more information on alternative please see: http://distrowatch.com/
Hooo god please no.. Don't tell me they will patent the "look" of web site. Maybe I haven't understood the fine article but still. What is One Click buy? is not a functionnality of the web site in question?
Copyright laws are killing the industries, killing arts, killings new products.. When will the killing end?
In a capitalist world, does copyright laws encourage competition or not? I mean thoses laws don't just stop people from using the product (or playing with it) but stop people from improving upon it.
Still I don't understand the lack of motivation. Corporation does not want to invest to find product that will stop polution. Gov. Does not have the money or want to support corporation to help them make more money Population want to buy product that will be the cheapest. (Wall-mart is still the #1 company even still they lack morale etc etc)
SO.. Is this the end?
The people will revolt when they will understand, and they will understand once they have revolted.
The problem is we do not compare the two product correctly. What I mean is Windows 2003 cost about 800$ Linux (Most distro come at NO cost)
Second Windows is supported by a huge corporation (and support device reseller (ie Wifi, SATA, MB, WinModem) Linux is created by a bunch of "lunatic" (I'm one of them)
Windows aims to be as easy to use as possible (Lower cost of ownership = Low salary wages) (Check box, Wizard) Linux aims to be as "powerfull"/features/customizable as possible. Complete Config txt files.
So Windows is easy and Linux is complexe (high learning curves)
When you ask "Name one thing Linux does worse than Windows" there are tons of stuff, others will probably point some of them to you. My point remains, Linux and Windows are not on the same playfield.
- One flaw allowed an attacker to cause a denial-of-service attack, if the attacker could bypass several other layers of protection.
-A second flaw exists in the method with which WPA initializes its encryption scheme. Consequently, it's actually easier to crack WPA than it is to crack WEP.
Now, IS WPA more secure than WEP? Is it possible to have Secure WIFI network without the big WPA2-Enterprise? (Certificate from cisco and such?)
taking care of mother earth is very important and we should do everything in our power to preserve it. But now, with all theses numbers, what should I do ?.. What should we do ?.. When should I start to be realy worry and build a bunker or start moving?
People that still want to live in katrina's path, are they dumb?
Just a note to tell you that I have installed Synctoy after reading your note here and it is working fine to have a local copy of the file on my server to my laptop.
Only thing, it does not work with anything else (scp, sftp or anything else that is encrypted) Well Thank you,
This may seems like an odd question but, what is happening with the FAT legal battle? Who own FAT now? FREEDOS can use it ?
M$ is allowing this OS to exist? I know DOS is very own, and cannot be bought theses days but still Microsoft is leaving this "great" software freely available to the public?
Why does everyone should have broadband? Because it helps get a higher quality of life. Maybe like TV or washing machine? Broadband make the Internet accessible and easy to use (try maps.google.com without broadband)
So the question is: Everyone should have broadband, can they use it for what ever they want? There should be a way to reason with everyone? I mean should you use it 24/7 ? What about speed caps for long transfer? I think my ISP is doing just that.
Small files get downloaded at 800kb/s. But Long transfer gets cap at about 400 or 300kb/s Would that be a solution?
Also, why have a single point of failure for the Internet (the server you are trying to reach) more and more people get Inet access theses days, so more and more people access the same sites (I'm talking about the slashdot effect) If Bittorrent were to be integrated into the browser that would never be a problem, would it ?
I think that all download over 500 megs should be done using BT protocol or similar.
The console are terrible.. What about the new "thin" client, where you "rent" the access to a system with Word/excel and all your applications for some bucks?
But DRM can always be cracked one way or the other. (Modified chip)
I've been to a conference on opensources and the issue is always the same, "telling people about you r secret, then you're not secure". That's why proprietary software is still strong. OpenOffice is for the looser they say.. Pft !
Anyway, that's another subject. But to get back on the MPAA and RIAA, when will the company learn that there is other way to make money. People (me) are tired to getting ripped each time i buy a movie or a music CD. You know, one good song for 14 bad ones ?
This is realy the cat and mouse game at it's best. BitTorrent is getting better each day. While the RIAA and MPAA is closing the hosting website, Attacking ISP from around the globe, etc.
Is this a combat to the death ?
I guess nothing will beat private exchange ? (DRM)
Wow, Windows XP Pro N !
I hope they did not have to debate about the name.
Are we still debating if Microsoft is a monopoly?
We all know they are. Now once your know that, we also know that as soon as they add software to the Windows Platform. It automaticaly get adopted by a majority of lazy or uninformed user.
Mozilla/Firefox get 10 to 20% of educated user, will it ever reach 50% ?
Same thing for Linux, I use it on my Laptop, but still how many people are using it ?.. There is a VERY big hype around it, it is very popular and still not mainstream.
Microsoft is a monopoly.. What does MS need to do to be split?
Is the client running linux or a version of windows?
If the client is using Linux then using a X session on a remote X server is the way to go, with SSH.
But if your client is using Windows and your server would be Linux/unix.. I can't garantee the stability of the connection and applications.
Unless there is a client for windows to run a X sessions in full screen ?
Hum.. What about LiveCD booting and connecting directly to a remote X server with SSH connections?

Don't you think ?
So what, this is still only brute force attacks.

What about vulnerabilities, according to:
http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=36
- One flaw allowed an attacker to cause a denial-of-service attack, if the attacker could bypass several other layers of protection.
-A second flaw exists in the method with which WPA initializes its encryption scheme. Consequently, it's actually easier to crack WPA than it is to crack WEP.
Now, IS WPA more secure than WEP?
Is it possible to have Secure WIFI network without the big WPA2-Enterprise? (Certificate from cisco and such?)
taking care of mother earth is very important and we should do everything in our power to preserve it.

When should I start to be realy worry and build a bunker or start moving?
People that still want to live in katrina's path, are they dumb?
I mean, what do theses number means?
Please post info on WPA that have been cracked.
People point finger at 802.11 because there is a TON of theses device all over the place.
Why not use the currently installed infrastructure?
Just a note to tell you that I have installed Synctoy after reading your note here and it is working fine to have a local copy of the file on my server to my laptop.
Only thing, it does not work with anything else (scp, sftp or anything else that is encrypted)
Well Thank you,
In what cases does DOS help you with Windows XP?
DOS cannot read/write into NTFS?
And I am not sure it can read/write into FAT32!
For recovery purpose i use Knoppix, work great.
This may seems like an odd question but, what is happening with the FAT legal battle?
Who own FAT now? FREEDOS can use it ?
M$ is allowing this OS to exist? I know DOS is very own, and cannot be bought theses days but still Microsoft is leaving this "great" software freely available to the public?

We should compile a list of reason why GNU/linux is better or why it's TCO is lower.
There are reasons why UNIX/Linux is better and there are also some arguments why "Windows" or closed source are good in some case.
I haven't seen a objective debate about this.
