They're for different things. DICOM is an Imaging standard, HL7 is a communications/transport standard. OpenEMR isn't a standard, it's an application - and it looks considerably harder to use than pretty much every PMS or PAS on the market (and there aren't that many - iPM and Pathways are likely the biggest, and they suck).
Morbo says: Slashdot Metamoderation does not work that way! You don't get to agree or disagree with moderations any more, you just give a (complete unaccountable) +1 or a -1 to random posts.
Anything but Ubuntu. I tried it, and to be honest I found it to be crashy, slow, and generally just a pain in the ass to use (especially if I decided I wouldn't mind getting into the nitty gritty a bit - Ubuntu tries its best to dumb things down entirely too much). By contrast, Debian was much more stable, a bit faster, but a pain in the ass to get software from the repositories for (I understand this is because Debian is quite strict on the "free" aspect, so that's not a huge worry). It also doesn't release as bloody often.
And it never occurred to you that they might be, you know, lying? It'd be a great way to deflect anger at a stupid policy onto another organisation which is legendary for being virtually impossible to actually get hold of.
Not saying that's the case, but you seem to accept a story pretty easily with no evidence if it fits with your narrow view.
I would disagree. Comodo is safe as long as everyone and their dog resells their products. Even more so since these people don't disclose whose SSL they are reselling.
And there's half of Open Source's problem. That "man" is even considered to be acceptable documentation. Hint: it's not. Look at the documentation available for MySQL for an example of what documentation should be. A one pager telling you all the command line parameters isn't going to cut it.
I don't see why being able to SSH into Windows machines is essential at all. If you're that obsessed with only having a command line, Windows comes with a perfectly tolerable Telnet server. But other than that, you have Remote Desktop, which is far superior. SSH is not needed.
I was going to reply, but the AC nailed it already. Users don't give a crap whether "Calculator.exe" gets infected with a virus. They do give a crap when "Jimmy at the beach.jpg" gets infected. Who cares about the system, the user's files are the irreplaceable data! Linux people constantly talk about how you can just blow away the user's home folder to sort out virus issues on Linux. Guess what, blowing away "My Pictures" is a ten million times harder sell to a user than blowing away "System" - and to be honest I can't blame them.
App Armour sounds like a giant pain in the ass- app sandboxing done right is great, but I've yet to see it done right.
And frankly, privilege escalation is most certainly not a given. Yes, there's been some stupidly simple vulnerabilities (GDI cursor escalation anyone?) but at this time I know of no PE vulns on Windows.
Because it is. Here on the network where I am, moving from one AP to another (they're Cisco, but on the same controller - admittedly the configuration of the two isn't quite the same as we have fiddled with it to fix a problem with Apple's shitty 802.11 implementation, but I digress) is guaranteed to result in your device disconnecting - handover is very manual and there's a chance the device will fail to re-associate entirely.
Other systems have users, which makes them just as vulnerable. A program only needs to be running in userspace to host a website on a weird port, send millions of emails, or intercept what the user is doing and send screenshots to Nigeria.
No, for fuck's sake. It's not "simple" to file and pay over 300 (in the US alone) tax returns every month or even year. Every single city, county, state, and country has its own tax regime, and it should not be up to a retailer in some completely different place to be expected to abide by every one of those literally thousands of regimes. That effort would crush any business.
No, that would not be totally awesome. That would be totally vandalism, and illegal. One does not respond to someone telling you to stop playing on the footpath by throwing a rock at their windshield.
They've made sure it's awfully inconvenient to opt out of arbitration by explicitly writing it so that you waive the right to ever enter into arbitration with any division of Sony, ever. So you literally have to sue them for every tiny infraction, because they won't arbitrate with you.
For us, it's just a matter of populating a couple of DB tables and expiring the old coding system. Then again, being outside the US we did that 10 years ago.
Ah, well that sucks a tad. Still, from looking at Apple's Mac App Store, impulse purchases are not all that likely anyway - the majority of apps are at typical desktop app prices (tens to hundreds of dollars).
I would disagree with the "hard to reach" bit, though the rest are correct.
I would be personally surprised if you needed to pay up to get the ability to run your own Metro apps on your own PC though, that would just be stupid.

Australia you say? The country that just signed Accenture up to provide a national e-health IT platform?
No corruption there at all!

According to a previous post by him, it's a €3000 laptop. Basically, "the only computer in existence more overpriced than an Apple".

Or Verisign, who managed to lose Microsoft's Code Signing certificate. Didn't get in too much crap for that...

I think it's quite legitimate to say you can generate a random private/public key pair with GPG. That's kind of the point of it.

While true, that doesn't make it OK. That just makes it not catastrophically bad.
Other systems have users, which makes them just as vulnerable. A program only needs to be running in userspace to host a website on a weird port, send millions of emails, or intercept what the user is doing and send screenshots to Nigeria.
Quit with the stupid fallacy.

Only because we don't have any such thing as "Class Action Suits".
Except the Federal government explicitly allows it, which means that it works exactly how Sony intended. Don't like it? Bug your congressman.

Neither of which are an actual computer. I think you'll find people will tend to oppose that.

That is a bit pedantic yeah - I'll just claim for now that "NT 3" is an overarching reference to "NT 3.1" and "NT 3.51".
