So after twenty years of denying the bleedin' obvious, Apple has responded to crticism that one mouse button is not enough by producing a mouse with no buttons at all?! Way to isolate the rest of the world, Apple!
To put this in the address bar: javascript:void(window.g_sDisableWGACheck='all')
before clicking the "Express" or "Custom" buttons. (In case of/.ing occurs)
Take this with a grain of salt, but in my personal tests, FreeBSD actually performs (tuned that is), a little slower at some tasks (mail server, etc) than Linux does.
IMHO though, I personally use FreeBSD for management, everthing does not seem scattered around like Linux does and there seems to be a general direction from the developers of BSDs are heading.
The other thing I love, which I can not stress enough, is the beauty called PacketFilter. OpenBSD's packet filter that is. Check it out some time. After all, just tinker with it and you'll find your own opinion.
All in all, it has its uses, and it does not. The right tool for the right job is what it comes down to, and rock solid stability and ease of management for a server enviorment is the correct tool FreeBSD should be used for. OpenBSD I believe is the correct tool for a Cisco router/firewall replacement.
The Summary is:
FreeBSD for MultiProcessor Speed NetBSD for Single Processor Speed (and any other arch really). OpenBSD for moving packets (or ultra anal secure network services at performance costs)
The answer that I use is, SWatch! I have swatch set up on my OpenBSD router, when it detects "illegal login" or similiar, I have swatch execute a custom script. The custom script will add the source IP address to a container that PF will block on the fly. So in essence, one bad mistake means your IP address is blocked. Not for use everywhere, but its a start.
I have been battling with this exact problem for ages with one of my friends. Instead of reformatting/virus cleaning/spyware cleaning he'd rather just buy a whole new computer. He is currently on his 4th computer, but refuses to buy a $10 hardware firewall. These are not the cheap computers we buy and put together either, its the overpriced HP computers.
The other reason why I do not want to touch his computer is this: One of my other friends brought over a NAV 9.0 CD and installed it, it detect a virus (unknown to me which one it is at this time), then this friend is no longer allowed at the house because it was the NAV 9.0 CD that was infected, not his unpatched (to this day) Windows XP (non SP anything) non firewalled porn cahce ridden spyware infested computer which contracted the disease before. Funny stuff. This guy, which basically BOUGHT an MCP, believes he is "THE SHIT" of computer techs can't even enable the damn Windows Firewall. Funny stuff, I come around every so often to hear the lunacy of his techness, the proably make a Bash quote or two out of 'em!
While I personally use VideoLan (and praise its abilities), it does not allow me to view some Windows Media files, or the wmv video playback is horribly pixelated. So generally, I try to stay away from.wmv files as much as possible.
While your above statement is a valid one, here is the issue.
The issue is that when you force the Intel compiler to detect the AMD Processor as a Genuine Intel Processor, then speed increases occur without problems.
When the Intel Compiler detects an AMD Processor normaly, compiling the *SAME* code results in a slower execution time.

Linux, Linux, Linux, Linux, Badger.
I guess 18 months from now it's back to the cell phone only existance for me....
...
Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe all of the major cell phone providers utilize a voip network anyways
I believe the proper quote would be:
Yeah, but will Linux run it?
At one point in time, the world was flat. Anyone who spoke differently would be burned as a heretic.
So, my question to Microsoft fans is, what happened between 1990 and 2000 that turned Microsoft from hero to goat?
Easy: Money.
Every lock has a key.
Do you understand that buying this, as well as lots of overpriced games, is entirely optional?
Let me be the first to say, WTF?!?!?!?!?
Next up: Apple to release a PDA.
You mean like one of these?
Am I missing something here?
User Error?

..... Think different!
Hah, the same thing can also be said for their switch to x86 processors.
Do I detect a hint of jealousy?

Come on, its Windows. Just like all the other goodies, the packages should install themselves!

Or Windows NT Service Pack 18 Level 2 Patch 41 with Mac OS X GUI Extensions.
True, but this time, us consumers will be able to run OS X on x86 (not just the Apple Developers)!

The torrent file distributes a .WMV file!
Troll?? It is a joke! The mods have no "Funny" mod option anymore.
"Nothing to see here ... move along"
Now THATS security for you!
get rid of MTV
Amen to that!!!
