It only takes ONE very bad problem and a vendor who is slow to patch to make *nix look good.
:-)
Quality vs Quantiy, a thousand little issues that are context specific does not mean as much as just one huge universal hole in an OS.
The WMF problem is public now, but has been with us since 1990, if anyone has known about this flaw for all those years Windows users may have been totaly owned for ages.
The nature of the WMF bug is such that it is not blocked well by generic security measures. Many of the small *nix issues are stopped by good security practices and generic measures.
Has the RSS/Blog vine become overloaded with redundant references?
If you Slashdot it, Digg it or Blog it, eventually you find yourself rereading the same subject matter in multiple places.
Has the time come for an AI driven Metablog, the one blog to rule them all?
I am suggesting that the duplication of stories is reducing the filtering value of blogs and that tools need to be created to collect RSS feeds into a
single customised feed for the user to scan. In the same way that sites like Digg rate stories the Feed Filter (or is that Filter Feeder?) can rate
stories at the meta level by their accumulated scores over multiple sources. It should also be able to find the link to the original information and
present this link to the user so that they may click through directly. Each RSS feed story could benefit from more meta data been associated with it too.
Sorting out the economics of this in a fair and reasonable manner may be tricky as a Metablog would bypass the individual blog layer and thus reduce
their advertising income.
Are we anywhere near to having such functionality in feed readers? What are my smart filtering options now and what do you see happening in the future
as blog redundancy accelerates out of control? What tools do we have now and which are still to be created to assist in the knowledge management
aspects of blogs? What are your preferred ways of archiving and retrieving stories that were of value to you?

I hope this version of Clevo's DTR can stay cool enough to work in a warm enviroment.
If you don't have aircon. then you may see the GPU start to loose the plot then the CPU will HALT.
Those fans suck in a heap of dust and crud too, so over time cooling gets much worse.
Other than that they are great, unless you are a wimp and can't lift the thing.;-)
You could subvert such a system by using it to induce and Digital Autoimmune Disease where legitimate software is seen as a virus.
e.g. A big company, such as a record company, hears about some small developer's product that threatens their profits so they get a hold of this new product and use it's signature to inoculate one of the honey pot systems.

Why don't people get it?

Did you even read all of that BBC story? http://www.biota.com.au/products/relenza.html (The original and still the best.)
