  1. like all other servies from google on Google to Offer Free Wi-Fi? · · Score: 1

    Like all other servies from google, everything will be logged and ensured you get "great" ads just for you. And if you complain an GMAIL privacy issues, use encryption.

    http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/security/0,2000061744 ,39200021,00.htm And one can talk about why such insecurity exists, but this is how the reality is currently. How linux will be like when it has a bigger market share, who knows. It doesnt matter what is today.

    I am not saying that it is only Microsoft that has problems but if you have Windows XP with out patches, you will be infected within 12 minutes (50 percent chance). The same does not apply to to Red Hat 9. Sure you Windows XP is a bigger target. I know very well know what a buffer overflow is, I dont know what EIP stands in short for. But clearly nothing has changed for MS. They might though be looking at changes with Longhorn. Hopefully. But as it remains now, for whatever reason, using *Nix, or and Mac OSX, I am more secure. And I never even mentioned Linux in my post you replied to? I guess that no one is perfect makes it ok to have so many holes?

    Well bookies are longer allowing bets if there will be a new vulnerability discovered each week but how many.

    Who thought really that there was a miracle at Microsoft? Look at all the holes Win Xp, SP1, had, who isnt suprised seeing that MS didnt have major holes in SP2. I doubt they went to the root of the problems with security in regards with their products at MS.

    My Sixth Sense is saying that there is a huge flame coming over.

    No one asks the stores to do copies for them, they do the copies them self.
