you all praise open source, which is a good thing, but you b!tch about the icons. the source code is there. if you DONT like the icons, make news ones and publish them, heck they might even add it to the next release if you submit it to them
what im trying to say is, why complain about an open source product when you can get in there and change it yourself.
spammers from hotmail sending "requests" for sender ID confirmation. great!
so not only will stupid people be getting 50+ emails from someone selling viagra asking for them to accept their address, they will also be clicking yes, and also getting the spam.
well done! thats twice the amount of traffic than before!
some of the people that bag linux on here, its pretty obvious you havent looked at, let alone used a linux o/s in the last year.
theyve gone from baby steps to sprinting in a year, i found using fedora core 3 easier than windows. what does that mean, if my job is a teceh support person for a company that is mostly windows orientated?
go try the latest versions of linux desktop o/s before relying on your "Experiences" using red had 5 .
they cant sue you for using bit torrent. the sue you for using bit torrent to download illegal material such as mp3 etc
since linux is open source, and under the gpl licence, it is legal to download a full version of it via whatever transport protocol. the mpaa arent the internet police, they are a legal body that "looks after" the rights of the music/film industry.
the thing is, it would be much harder to write anything dangerous for mac or linux, mainly because both systems require you to enter a admin password or even confirm it with your own user password to install any kind of software
ultimately, linux is the safest due its diversity. try devoloping a sickness for 3000 different types of rabbits, each with their own kind of internal organs. it just couldnt be done..
whereas mac there is more chance, much, much less, as the confirmation via password is still needed, and its a unix based system.
at the moment im running tiger on my new g5, and after 6 months of using fedora core 3 on my old machine, i can safely say i dont need to worry about virii as long as that password system is in place.
