I don't see how it's much more difficult to get someone to download a.deb or.rpm file and install it versus getting them to download an.exe and install it. You're trying to create a distinction where none exists, and that gives people a false sense of security when running Linux.
Are you kidding? It's entirely probable that this is some sort of conflict with 3rd part software, or even a malware infection. Windows 7 was in beta testing for a long time, and this bug would have popped to the surface long ago if it was an issue with Windows.
Yeah, if you're two inches away from whatever it is that you're looking at. If you're 8 inches or more away, you simply can't tell the difference between 300 dpi and 3000 dpi.
For people with 20/20 vision, the maximum DPI that they can see (without putting their nose right up to whatever it is) is around 300dpi. There's no point to producing screens with more than that.
I feel like whoever wrote this article things that there are government employees sitting in front of a giant machine called "The Economy" that has dials and buttons for them to adjust it with.
The fact of the matter is that the government has very little control over the economy.
I'd rather come in one day and notice that my antivirus suddenly isn't working then never notice that the definitions are out of date. The former is much safer than the latter.
It's actually not that delusional these days. There's a huge market for software that has never existed in the past. A stupid little app might actually end up making you a good chunk of money.
They didn't install their software on your servers, YOU did. So they didn't disrupt your business, YOU did. Whether it's because you were ignorant or lazy is irrelevant. It still comes down to YOU.
>It is really disgusting the way people build servers these days. They think all they need to do is to install a couple packages, change a couple config lines and boom, the server is ready.
Experience is the best, and often only, teacher. Sometimes there is no way to learn something other than dealing with it.

Um, no. Downloading a pirated video did not change the DNS settings on the router.
Wow.

"Don't try and call me a liar. I don't appreciate it."
Everyone's a liar on the internet until they show they're not. If you don't like it, go cry to mommy about it.
Do you happen to have a link to these "studies"? I'm betting that you do not.
Mainly because I'm not a Google fanboy who can't fathom using anything else.
And yet only the first two or three pages of the hits are anywhere near relevant to what you're looking for.
Says the man who hasn't tried it.
You're talking about business. This is city government. Managers don't make the policies in government.

Bing actually is a great search engine and I've been using it over Google since they rolled it out.
of a security breach ever. A viral marketing campaign where someone "loses" a prototype phone at a bar does not count as a "security breach".

LOL, my idea of computer security is keeping my tools up to date instead of getting pissed off about having to upgrade my antivirus.
So when's the year of the Linux desktop again, and how much money to all the devs get when that happens?

Just because an agreement says something doesn't make it legal.
It's the false sense of security that you get that makes up for the danger. Old threats are so rare that they may as well have disappeared.

Where does Microsoft enter into a discussion about an open source antivirus running on Linux based servers?
HA HA HA.....an out of date antivirus IS as bad as no antivirus. Dear God, I hope you don't work doing this stuff.
