"under certain circumstances" sounds pretty vague to me. Do they spell them out anywhere? If not, what prevents them from making things up as they go?
I do agree with your conclusion, however.
It would actually mean that Microsoft built the SP2 updates with a new compiler that basically
eliminates any possibility of buffer overflows.
Directly from Microsoft: "core Windows components have been recompiled with the most recent version of our compiler technology, which provides added protection against buffer overruns."
Uh, there's quite a bit of difference between the two statements.
I don't
have to prove that God doesn't exist. Christians are the ones making the ridiculous claims, they are the ones who need to prove it. When I claim that the entire universe was in fact created by an all-powerful space duck with an insatiable appetite for spaghetti, then it's my turn to cough up some evidence.
You, sir, have just made my day! I hope you don't mind if I borrow that comparison.;-)

The one and only truth which has become apparent is that you're clearly pushing an agenda, with absolutely no regard for the truth. On the plus side, you've got the most obvious case of paid-shillery which I've ever encountered... a fourth-grader could have written a more plausible "study".
As far as I'm concerned, neither you nor AdTI have any credibility (not to mention integrity) whatsoever. I'll be quite happy to point out the numerous flaws, should I encounter anyone naive enough to believe this was a serious study. Fortunately for me, you've made this almost mind-numbingly simple.
I thought this posting to debian-devel was fairly telling as well... especially the bit about withholding information on a known (to him only, apparently) vulnerability. I had a fairly high opinion of grsecurity up until that point, but these days I think that SE Linux is probably the way to go.
I just recently picked up one of these beasties (revision B, with up-to-date firmware), and in general it seems to work pretty well. I've discovered, however, that it reboots if you hit it with a UDP scan from an internal box.
My wife put together a picture of SCO's crack legal team (by which, I of course mean "legal team on crack"), which pretty much explains their entire strategy. Feel free to share!;-)
You seem to have mixed up two lines of that song. IIRC, the one is "it's worse than that - he's dead, Jim!", the other is "you cannot bend the laws o'physics, cap'n!".
Nah, the line was actually in there. Just once, at (almost) the very end.
Thinking about it, the average intelligence of managers does seem to at the lower end of the simian spectrum. Maybe a "GPL for dummies" book is needed.
Nah, too high-level. How about The Complete GNU/Idiot's Guide to the GPL... for Dummies.

Oh well.

The first thing I thought was that he must be selling frog-goggles... i.e. frog-gles.
Take a look at Shorewall. Much easier to setup (IMHO) than using the raw iptables commands, and works quite well in my experience.
I guess you might need to teach them vi first. Fortunately, newbies are attracted to it's elegant simplicity!

It's their crack legal team which does it for me...

GNU's not done 'till SCO won't run! ;-)
Middle-clicking on the tab will close it. ;-)
$ apt-get --purge remove galeon
Yeah, that was tough!!!
That was actually backported into the 2.4 branch a couple of releases ago... 2.4.18 IIRC. It's definitely in 2.4.21, at any rate.
Absolutely hilarious! I *really* wish I had mod points right now!!!
I dunno... I had to make several attempts the other day when purchasing tickets from them. The images were obscured to the point of illegibility.
