If you notice it closely, you can catch firefox googling a quick one on the http thing, and then i think it's like hitting "i'm feeling lucky" and google gives you the MS page, since its one of the most known sites on the internet.
the timeframe was too short to do anything high profile. In other words, the distro was more secure than it could be hacked in 96 hours. However, with servers online years, you have a much better situation from the attacker's viewpoint, even if your box is fully patched.
Maybe it wasn't considered broken in 1995, but it is 2005 we're living in. It is definately broken, not because of particular software bugs but by the aged design (which causes every MS operating system to suffer up-to-date, because they didn't fix it, some could argue whether completely or not). It is another matter that i consider it's design to be normal either if it would be 1995 or 2115. But it is a personal opinion, not something that could be generally agreed upon.
First of all, speaking english as my third language suggests that i'm not the most perfect english writer. So what?
Secondly, how could you judge me not knowing which country do i live in? Because you're referring to my "home country". Which is not germany, fyi. Oh, and you know, no news source is unbiased. The trick is to find two opposite source of informations, with around the same amount of bias and compare them.
Okay. I won't even use the "i'll bite" phrase which i hate with passion.
Do you have the same amount of evidence to the French bribe case as you have had for WMD which turned out to be a logical loophole, magically disappearing?
There never were pro-american demonstrations on the Middle East, at least not significant ones. Actually, 2/3 of Iraqies would have preferred if americans wouldn't have invaded their country and toppled Saddam. The religious leader who got elected in Iraq is a quite enlightened one, compared to the surrounding countries, including Izrael, but i wouldn't say he's american friendly. He just serves his own country.
Syria is being pushed out of Lebanon for two reasons: a.) increasing international pressure (UN resolution) b.) The uproar caused by Hariri's assassination and huge demonstrations caused by it. The government resigned in Lebanon just because of that.
I think you're not making sense. Go get rid of your american pride a bit, and try to look at the world, actually, instead of some government-close tv stations.
I agree with your post, however get the terminology right: nationalists are positive, as they think of their country in a positive way, and don't try to cause harm for others. (according to the original definition)
Sovinists, the people you're referring to, on the other hand want to take advantage of other countries, or bash them just to make their own country look or be better.
In this story (slashdot article here) where there was a MySQL benchmark conducted, quite scientific one so not just three images + 5 sentences slapped together, which concluded that basically Linux with kernel version 2.6 outperforms every other platform in the matter of SMP, although Solaris is performing well regarding SMP to, just a few percent behind.
I'm not saying that Solaris' SMP support is bad, just that it's quite silly to point it out as a positive side, in comparison with Linux, when Linux performs even better.

Obviously timothy doesn't share our concerns. I wish he would, though.

Absolutely not!
Someone is merely talking with a very very nice swiss german accent pronouncing "zehn Tafel".
Agility not (always) substitute lack of knowledge.

Do not underestimate our dear editors, i'm sure in the future, given enough time they can produce something even more brilliantly dumb...

Beg my pardon? Redundant? This was exactly the 11th post out of 700something, i found it pretty hard to believe that it could be called as redundant.
It's ff killer only if it runs on linux and bsd (seriously).
Linux is slowly, but certainly gaining ground, so will alternative browsers.
"Apparently an important factor is security."
We've heard this many times. Let's just wait for it and then make claims.
I smell something fishy. Tsunami fishy.
What's really the difference between being able to phone a million people compared to a billion people?
I guess telemarketers could tell VOLUMES about it...
Um, just a little nitpicking, about SMP.

The "BSD is dieing" jokes, riiiight after me!
its a joke, laugh.
Bush didn't invent the thing you call "US GNP".
Your analogy sucks.
Heh, it's almost as ironic when the government blaims the opposition for the state of the economy.
my story submission got rejected a few weeks ago when there was news about it's conversion's nearing finish.
Way to go Spain.
The applications protected by the GPL are used and quite possibly gravitate on the billion or trillion dollar scale.
Seems to be a pretty fine sense of reality to me...
I do not RTFM, therefore i am (on slashdot).
Yeah and i also would note that CacheLogic is something to p2p as antivirus companies to virus writers - not an independent source.
That's called coral (the nyud stuff) ;)
Actually i don't believe this is correct.
I heard numbers around 2-5% (total bittorrent traffic / internet global trafic)
Everyone remembers that article about privateer 1.0 remake?
;)
My university sits on 2.5gbyte/s pipe, i have control over around 500mbyte/s.
I decided it would be cool to help share the wealth and let around --max_upload_rate 20000 for a few hours. It was maxed out
