  1. Why is Xbasic ignored? on KBasic · · Score: 1

    I don't really understand why Xbasic is being ignored...
    http://www.maxreason.com/software/xbasic/xbasic.ht ml
    It's already released under the GPL, has an IDE and forms designer, and is very similar to the old MS Basic PDS implementations in syntax. Anyone care to clue me in as to why?

  2. I was livid when I found out... on GoHip.com ActiveX Wreaks Havoc · · Score: 3

    I run a dual boot system here ( Linux / Win95 ) since I have some occasional guests that are a little afraid of Linux yet. I was absolutely incensed when I found out they had run across GoHip, and it had mucked with my system. I fired off a complaint to every one of their upstream providers, and the computer crime section of the FBI. As far as I was concerned, GoHip had run an exploit on my system, cracked it, and performed unathorized and hostile modifications to my files.
    There is no longer a web browser available under Win 95 on my system. My guest will just have to overcome their "fear of flying" and surf under an OS that I can lock down.
