They were monopoly on their software and because nobody had any alternative even they hated MS but still used their products. But time is changing, for console there are other alternatives. For their software eventhere are alternatives even superior than their products with more stability. Don't want to name them to start a flameware but everyone knows it. That means after now MS userbase will only decrease, it reached its peak already.
Of course it does not take that long when you knew where it is. But with cluttered design of MS Office options window it takes that long to find it. Office might be a good product but this part is not its best part obviously.
Security is about being paranoid. Half of the precautions taken in most of secure sites are just for taking precaution. Why using an algorithm that has known issues instead of there're more robust ones. With ever increasing cpu powers there's no need to keep this algorithm since there're more secure ones around.
Besides you can easily use the text as password if they both produce same hash. gettty will only check if hashes are equal not if your password and the random text is equal. Since their hashes are equal then they are same in front of gettty's eyes.
Actually this tool makes cracking linux user passwords using glibc 2.2. As this version of glibc using MD5 to encode in crypt function. It would only take matter of time to crack if an attacker get shadow file (or maybe passwd file on systems which shadow suite is not installed). There's no reason to use dictionary attack or something, just find collision text and use this text as login password.
I really find this extremely scary as there're lots of p0wned machines around now it will be easy for attackers to hide themselves (ie. they won't need to keep open port to be uidzero after first intrusion) Actually it's better to patch crypt function to use other more secure algorithms.
What if they do not change the MD5 file but put another iso that has same MD5 hash with the original iso file? It might take considerably long time to detect that kind of intrusion. But it's evident that best way to increase trustworthiness of downloads is using asymetric hashing methods (aka signing).
In case of ISP is the only one giving you IP addresses that means it's monopoly and in monopolies supply and demand curves do not exist. And price is completely inelastic.

Aren't they supposed to be intended to advertise albums? Why they are free (and even labels pay in order them to be broadcasted) on MTV but not on iPod?
I don't know what you're talking about learning UI for every program but on GNOME every application look alike. And due to nature of GTK library it's much more same than it is in Windows (I might be making mistakes on names but I think you have MFC, AFT,.net framework widgets etc. etc.). So that diversity is much more in Windows.
On linux if you use GNOME as Desktop Manager you much more likely to get similar UI for every GNOME application. And on KDE it's almost same. Of course if you mix your Window Managers and your UI toolkits you'll have different GUI, but that's not the way default dekstop use of linux today. Distro's even make different variety of applications (like OO.o and Firefox) look similar to GNOME desktop for example due to their open source nature.
if you try to run hardware designed to work on windows (your wireless card for example) of course it won't work on linux. Linux kernel developers are not machoistic people with lots of free time to get every hardware and try to support them with their closed specs.
Try installing linux with linux-friendly hardware and you won't even need to try to install drivers or any other useless and pointless things. Windows make people belive hardware support should be like that and every computer user today think that they should make windows detect their hardware with its drivers. By the way, have you heard stories of windows users which has hardware they can't run on Windows XP because they only got windows 98 drivers? if you haven't, I can swear that I heard lots of these stories and they are increasing every day. People have to BUY/REPLACE their already working hardware because simply their vendor went out of bussiness or vendors using this silly (but unfortunately working) tactic to increase sales.
Well before comparing Linux hardware support with MS hardware support think about these. And next time buying a new hardware visit sites like linuxhardware.org or similar sites that you get get idea if hardware is compatible with linux, or just ask vendor.
Apart from that, everytime I install any linux distro kernel can detect my hardware without any problem and serve it as it should be. That's a lot more user friendly than pressing next button several times for new hardware I put onto my windows XP box.
Well of course open source applications get ideas from other softwares. But at the end they are free to use. In Microsoft's case, they get the idea from an open system, copy the feature, advertise ideas to masses and obligatory Profit!!!
OO.o is not an any program. It's an Office Suite. That means it's the major application a regular office would use. It's the reason that most computers at offices do exist. So paying it a little more care is not a waste.
Instead of paying bucks to MS Office, you can afford this money for memory and you're problem will be solved. For sure what you can buy with MS Office license money is alot more than 50 mb of memory price. To cut the bitching in advance, I do advise that this for mid- or small- bussinesses not large corprations, you'll be shagged by MS or IBM whatever you can do, Foss can't save your arse from them.
Authors of that worm was using infomation stored on victims' computers for bankcard forgery. According to what I read from local news, Atilla guy was caught because he was moving money from victims' bank accounts to another account.
With such a connection to accounts, it's not a rocket science to catch writers. I think Turkish guy thought Turkey is heaven to do such things without any kind of anonymity in Turkey but evidently he was wrong.
You can never completely take your Windows machine on your hands as you can do with Linux. You can never patch a system vulnerabilty, you have to wait MS security advisories for two weeks old vulnerabilies. That's not the case for Linux. You can patch it. You don't even need to wait developers of the kernel, because you can patch it yourself, if you know what you are doing. Even though you're master of Windows, you can't patch anything yourself. (Unless you know reading opcodes and patch binaries with your reverse enginerring skills. Not to mention that's possible in very rare situation anyways.)
So will they credit the bug hunters or they will treat them as their workers. Sharing information is good move but isn't that a marketting strategy that will make people think like 'Look 3com is the first to find vulnerabilities from all that reports'.
Sure it's not science but philosophy however in what logic should god made humans totally distinctive from other speceis at all. Those proof s shown by scientists about evolution, even on this FA, are purely considering the results, not the process. We have no unique sample of the process. Not that evolution theory brought some innovative other theories either. It's just there to be there. However just think it like that: god should not be too dump to create every specy totaly different, like a dog without a hearth, or a frog with no brain in his nervous system. God created species similar to us, so that we can test drugs on them without killing ourselves. Or we can see them and learn to improve our lifes. It's a plain logic, nothing more. However leaving everything to coincidence is plain optimism. Just chose yourself.
And so what? If you change your UA string then you get a messy web site. Only problem with UA string is being used is the web statistics, which might not be exact measures because Opera and other broewsers can mimic IE user agent strings. But I don't think that this is high enough to change the big picture. Though there's no easy (practical) way to understand which browser visitor using apart from UA string.
Ah btw, if you can see the system (it has english texts also) from Turkey TLD System Managers. Yes you url is right, it's nic.tr yet another TLD for registrars, (There is only one site as registrar though, and that's it.) Not the mention UI is really cr*p.

They didn't test Fedora and decided best distro for small bussinesses? Are they on crack?

Serving every page with ssl means more cpu power because it has to encrypt every page. Maybe that's the reason.
Of course it does not take that long when you knew where it is. But with cluttered design of MS Office options window it takes that long to find it. Office might be a good product but this part is not its best part obviously.

Well but when will wew see TVs using OLED technology. For sure they will be alot better than LCD counterparts.
Then maybe your campus will be noticable from the top, you need a huge object.
So will they credit the bug hunters or they will treat them as their workers. Sharing information is good move but isn't that a marketting strategy that will make people think like 'Look 3com is the first to find vulnerabilities from all that reports'.
