  1. WinAmp crashes on The Six Dumbest Ideas in Computer Security · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I have never, ever seen a student running in a non-administrator account on their Windows PC
    As even very common applications as WinAmp don't work without adminitrator privileges I find that very comprehensible. WinAmp crashes in a weird way without administrator privileges. I my opinion Windows XP is not ready for desktop use. E.g. you need to be Administrator to open the calendar.
  2. defective virus scanner on Creative Zens Ship with Worms · · Score: 1
    When you run Windows, you must run anti-virus ~all~ the time!
    Last year a lot of customers complained that our new product contains a virus. The product was compiled and packaged on a linux machine and the virus was detected in a plain text python file. Btw the misdetection was done by http://www.antivir.de/en/. Of course we had to explain to our customers that this is bullshit even after the anti-virus vendor had fixed their signature files.
