the issue is of letting Sun decide what is compatible or not. Let an outside body working from the published standards do that. And this Sun package is a set of unit tests. And as for cross-platform, of course well designed unit tests can check that.
If someone has need for a local account on a machine or any ability to run arbitrary code you're in the same realm as company hiring employee and trying to verify if they are trustworthy or not. Local user can always cause problems if they so choose. Just like anyone with physical access can cause even more problems.
actually, no, if you're providing services for untrusted users. the user authenticates to and uses a service, but never to machine account to possibly run code on the machine. Local users ALWAYS can mess up a machine, there's no end to the ways they can do it.
bullshit, crap code by incompetent programmers causes input data to be executed, the scripting languages all have ways to flag data as tainted suspect and deal with it properly with no possibility of execution (e.g. sql injection attacks, etc.)
Piss poor development practices will always lead to security breaches, and that goes for any language not just the scripting ones. The biggest and most damaging attacks have been due to sloppiness in the c/c++ realm (ooo, who would ever give us more data than we expected, etc.)
these are exploits for a local user on system, anyone who puts a machine on the internet and lets people log into actual Unix accounts deserves what they get.
well, hello Bill Gate's fluffer. The costs of the major worms and malware have been documented, if you'd take the time to research before spewing useless nonsense.
also Microsoft professionals created the IT infrastructure that has caused billions of dollars in malware-related downtime, and degraded to useless performance of infested machines. Thank you Bill Gates, you've fucked up more businesses than any world war.
Consider that in 400 million years the slow expansion of our sun will render earth inhospitable to multi-cellular life. And the earliest life is now believed to arisen almost 4 billion years ago, but the earth is only 4.5 billion years old. So intelligent life arose after 4.49 out of 4.50 billion years with 0.40 left to live, almost so late in the game it didn't happen!
Most life gets eaten by the parent star before it can evolve far enough to become intelligent.
no need to chain Arnold, just chain four female clerks from the California State Govenor's Office to each of the turnstile arms, then set loose the Governator.
I would argue the law prohibits obfuscation only to a human observer, not a camera if I'm not committing a crime.
I wasn't speaking of a mask or anything else that would affect a human eye's recognition of me.
ah, so I have the right to obfuscate my license plate if no human police officer is looking at it at the moment? or my appearance to any surveillance camera so long as I'm not committing a crime? thanks, I think I see the solution to this problem, just a little technical challenge
done that, put windows XP on an extra disk in my xeon workstation. man oh man, the number of cycles of installing manufacturers drivers disks and rebooting I had to go through, sometimes windows would ask for the same disk again after reboot. If you're trying to say this is somehow superior to loading Linux modules, you're completely full of shit. Windows is crap, the install now takes longer than an Ubuntu or Debian install.
statistic are VERY meaningful on an individual level for the cases of claims "never" or "always" - one exception invalidates the claim! Like "mules can't reproduce", or "lightning never strikes twice in the same place" or "mammals can't have a virgin birth".
How can it be known fear won't be suppressed in similar situations where necessary flight or fight reactions are necessary to survival?
oh, and also I for one welcome our new fearless squeaky rodent overlords.

oh? global temperatures have been dropping since 2004, we must be going into global cooling.
software only needs to have its own built in unit tests to verify that it works, Sun can butt out.

on local user/software exploits? my domains have over a thousand users, but no one logs into an account on the machine.

no, it's a ringworld! Flee and hide, the Pak are coming back!

I'm even more of an optimist, I think the visitors will be delicious and best served with complex red wine.
