Exactly.. that's what I get for posting before running out to lunch.
I kept with 98 since ME was not even close to being capable.. same with XP, I'll stick to XP until something better than Vista comes along. The "Can Vista allow this?" popup is enough on it's own to kill the deal.
It's really time and interest. I manage a lot of windows servers and so it's best to keep in the world I know and can relate to. I manage some *nix as well, but much less. To find equlivilent solutions for my needs in the *nix world takes time and I don't have much to spend right now.
What a CRAPPY SYSTEM!
I could easily do a lot of stuff without logging in... search the staff database... submit one of their names for a new ID... then be told their current ID.. and request a new password..
Of course, I get this:
"The password reset feature has been disabled. Please contact us to reset your password."
Talk about not very secure.
I just setup a catchall account on my domain and use whereIampostingmyemail@mydomain.com for every email address I give out. Not only does that identify WHO is sending me spam (shadyecomstore.com@mydomain.com) so I can track back and yell at them, but it allows me to create a rule to block addresses if they get to be too spammed over.
This seems to work pretty well along with Baysean filtering and a few rules I have setup.
that, similarly to spybot and adaware, monitors what is being installed on a system and checks against known spyware/malicious titles. The masses tend to know more than any one person so allow feedback to be generated through the application to flag/tag those programs which contain known spyware. Similar to the hotmail spam system, let the masses flag the known and use this to warn users as to what they are installing might contain harmful or usless payload along with it.

Just like with ME, I'll contiue to use XP until a sutiable replacement comes about. Maybe W7 will prove to be that.
Ok, that's it... I'm leaving /. for good.

Nor to eat at places that serve wine out of anything costlier than a box.
There goes my idea "a$$book.com"
Why not lock down the .htaccess so images are only returned to the BofA server and no one else? Seems simple enough.
They told those history shows that they lugged those stones up ramps and whatnot!

Naw, just swap out grandma's old thermostat and you are set for many home made holograms. Of course, you might want to wear some protection.
and no one ever mentions it or gives it a second thought. I'd like to see more articles/links on the topic too.
