Vista's security chain works as designed and intended, preventing from you to inject an untrusted bootloader into the bootstrap. Isn't that what we -want- from our security systems? This isnt' a case of "Microsoft" holding our data hostage, this is a case of our own security policies WORKING.
If I were to be running Linux, with equivalent protection, I'd be right pissed if it could be trivially rootkitted/bypassed by swapping in a malicious bootloader.
If the attacker can install a bootloader, that means you were rooted and your precious data can be grabbed from the memory of the program that happens to be using it.
If the bootloader is installed while the OS is not running, that means you do not have adequate physical security.
32-bit Linux can use more than 4 GB ram if configured. Windows is limited to 4GB and as previously mentioned, device I/O etc. limit it further, making your total ram usage below 4GB.
It is a little bit shorter than the distance between three times my hometown and the city that I currently live in.:) And it may take as long as three hours to travel that distance by car--depending on the traffic conditions--
Humans mostly imagine by comparing, and IMHO circumference of earth is not something that we can easily imagine without help of "shorter" distances;)
I can't imagine how people are clicking on ads so often. I have never seen anyone clicking on an advertisement. It just does not make sense; If I'm looking for a hosting, I search for hosting firms on the search engines, I do not click on the ads of a page that contains the word "hosting" in it.
I only click on ads of some project web sites, when I like what they have done and I want to show my appreciation without spending money.
I agree to your points. Look at all these locking attempts, they might just be the *future micro$oft*. Ot they may already have been if macs were so popular.
This x86 switch will surely cost a lot to Apple, changing all the architecture and going over all the code base to make it work on x86 architecture. I think it is not so certain that they are doing all this just to comply with TNC, which is not guaranteed to be the rule...

Obviously, Captain Obvious contracted some people, he says the job is slow nowadays.

MaraDNS is another alternative to BIND, with a security focus;

Well, 201 km means something to me.

201.16800 km for us metric guys :)
When they offer; they make the windowsless hardware more expensive. That issue should also be adressed.

No, :-)
