    If this malicious software is already running it can easily do any of the following:
    • keylog the sudo password and install whatever it wants, or completely trash the system if sudo is setup as Ubuntu's default.
    • download a precompiled static version of the hackable software "which has a known security vulnerability to gain root access" and execute it.

    And this is exactly why we are supposed to "police" the government and even change its members every 4 years. Of course we are a bunch of retards who keep voting the same people in, but we could control and improve our government if we weren't so damn lazy.

    Although you have to compile it from cvs its stable enough for everyday use. It also looks a million times better than this and runs smoothly even on my PII300 w/128RAM.

  9. Re:Mod parent up please on Linux on the Desktop Doubles in 2007 · · Score: 1

    Let me explain this to you with a car analogy:
    You need to take a cab, there are two cabs, one will charge you 10 bucks, the other nothing, and both will take more or less the same time to get where you want.
    You are taking the 10 bucks cab because "THE FREE CAB WILL CONSUME TIME TO GET THERE LIKE THE PAID CAB, ITS NOT REALLY FREE LOLOLOLOL".
    The point is simple, there is no OS in the world that escapes mantienance and installation work or problems. Among those OSes, the one that has no cost is the FREE OS.

  10. Re:Linux's price is $0.00 if your time is worth $0 on Linux on the Desktop Doubles in 2007 · · Score: 1

    I have used windows off and on for the last 10 years or so. I have yet to encounter an install that worked 100% perfect out of the "box". Some installs were darn close, but I always ended up in strange forums from google searches to try and get some aspect working properly. I also had to pay for it, pay for anti-spyware, anti-virus and firewalls that consumed 50% of my system resources and reinstall every other year or so.

    And it features Enlightenment DR17:

    "We have worked closely with the energetic, determined E17 team to bring this advanced graphical user interface to a state of interface euphoria. It's not about eye candy and unnecessary special effects, it's about finding balance between a lean, uncluttered desktop and a personal environment that is both familiar and powerful. E17 is simply the most incredible thing I have ever used --with any operating system," states Cesar Delgado, System Administrator for Terra Soft.

    How's that for those who call E17 vaporware? =)
