since the advent of devfs/udev, since everything you mknod goes 'bye,bye' on next reboot
I thought that current versions of both preserved changes to the/dev filesystem from boot to boot? I may be mistaken, though; I don't have any manual changes in mine. I agree that tracking down which device file corresponds to which physical device can be a pain, though.
If I understand correctly, it's note even available on all US providers, much less ones in other countries.
I personally prefer the SMS method Google uses. At least with that you can use it from any SMS-enabled phone (and I can't think of any that aren't off the top of my head).
Do you think they are saying that makes Windows a better operating system than Linux? Or are they extending the point too far to imply that starting from scratch, Windows should always be installed?
I don't spend much time reading these things from Microsoft, but the impression I've been getting is that while they don't come right out and say "Windows is better because of the extra cost to switch" that is in fact what they are implying.
since for some insane reason links on gentoo is dependent on X
I suspect the reason for that is that you had X in your USE variable when you tried to emerge links. It probably would've emerged just fine by itself with a `USE="-X" emerge links`. Having never done it myself, however, I'm just assuming.
They addressed the Forrester survey's problem with patch speed very clearly, I thought. And your comment about the paper's professionalism is irrelevant to the points it makes.
I'm not taking that statement as true simply because someone said it. If I did that, I'd believe all of Microsoft's claims in the other direction, too. I believe it's true because it's a logical argument and can be backed up with evidence, whereas the claim that if Linux were more popular it would be just as vulnerable is pure conjecture.
Holes are holes, no doubt about that. Linux just has fewer of them because of good design principles.
From TFA: Attacks are of course aimed at Windows because of the numbers of users, but its design makes it a much easier target, and much easier for an attack to wreak havoc. Windows' widespread (and often unnecessary) use of features such as RPC meanwhile adds vulnerabilities that really need not be there. Linux's design is not vulnerable in the same ways, and no matter how successful it eventually becomes it simply cannot experience attacks to similar levels, inflicting similar levels of damage, to Windows.
Ah, that's a good point. I didn't consider the types of weather you and I are used to, respectively. I'm from Pennsylvania, so that likely contributes quite a bit to my cooler preference.
You wouldn't happen to have an abnormally low blood pressure, would you? Or perhaps you're on a prescription blood thinner or something similar? Because that seems awfully warm to me, but my dad (who is on a blood thinner) and my girlfriend (who has really low blood pressure) would both be fairly comfortable.
Agreed. I'd think that warmer offices would lull a person to sleep easier than cooler offices. I'm often turning on the fans around my cube for just that reason. I mean, I don't want it so cold I'm shivering (I make enough typos as it is when my hands are fully under control), but generally I'd prefer to err on the side of colder rather than warmer.
This is on Symantec AntiVirus that comes with Symantec Client Security, but the path is probably the same or very similar.
Configure -> File System Auto-Protect, Advanced..., under "Scan files when", Auto-Protect will scan files that are: choose "Modified (scan on create)".
Sure it'll work. It might be one of few ways to kill vampires, but it works real good on everyone else, too.:)

Do you think AOL customers aren't already used to that? I used to be stuck on AOL, and the IE-based browser they used in their client software was the WORST thing I have ever used in terms of rendering pages properly and stability.

Gizmodo pointed out that they didn't mention any depth information in their press release, so it probably isn't designed for diving.

Might I suggest that those with modpoints read the second paragraph of the "technical" section in the parent post?

Funny; doesn't Microsoft fund most/all of the "Get the Facts" surveys?

The latter two links appear to be broken, but match the links provided in TFA. Perhaps the Register forgot to upload the actual reports?

Well, clearly this study is a bit flawed. They only mention two data points and immediately declare that there's a trend.
Agreed. I'd think that warmer offices would lull a person to sleep easier than cooler offices. I'm often turning on the fans around my cube for just that reason.

Oh, I'm sure it's blue there, too. That's why it's such a prominent color in their OS.
Personally, I find most of my programming goes better with a sledgehammer. :)

Again this is on a different version, so YMMV.
