You have to really fux0r with it and install all kinds of weird things. Add the Con Covolis (sp) and some patches for the wrong version on accident and there you go. Of course, just reboot to an old kernel and you're up and running, no problems.
Wait a second, that Linus Torvalds isn't American nor living in America. That slimy cheeseball! All the dollars that could have gone here didn't. If this isn't a clear argument, I don't know what is.
Ok, seriously now, the joke is over.
This same thing happened way back in the day of the Guilded Age in America. I find it so interesting that this is a repeat of the past...
A long time ago, immigrants flooded the country and desperately needed work. They found jobs in meat packing factories and rolling cigars in their own homes. Children didn't go to school, it was much more important for them to go home and roll cigars or work in a factory. Child labor skyrocketed. Jobs became dangerous. One would have to work long hours in a dangerous situation. Children aged too quickly. Minors came down with blacklung, but they were lucky. The poor meat packers got it the worst.
This was the day of the rober barrens known as Carnagie and Rockefeller. These guys made enormous sums of cash. They quickly became monopolies and then they control the country.
A long came a man. This particular man had a particular personality. He was daring, cocky, intellegent, and best of all, moral. He dismantled the political machine in New York. He was the leader of the Rough Riders. He was one of the greatest presidents. He was Theodore Roosevelt.
Teddy (as he hated to be called), became president and he then called the rober barrens over to talk to them. He asked them if they could please pay their workers better and improve their factories. They laughed.
You don't laugh at the leader of the Rough Riders.
The Sherman Anti-trust Act was pulled into effect from what it usually was used for. These gigantic businesses were shackled. This even was known as, "Power being taken from Wall Street and returned to Penslevania Avenue."
Of course, this guy was also a war mongeror and an imperialist, but who's perfect?
Now a similar event has occured. However, I think this turn of events is much different. For one, some laber cannot be exported. Try adding a Cat5 cable when you're 2k miles away. Who know? Time will tell.
Hmm, you said that the higher numbers of found vulnerabilities would be better. I must say, that makes sense. I wonder what experienced hackers would have to say about this list though. Comparing notes they might say something like, "10 thousand security holes in Windows that we can use. 20 or so security holes in Linux..." Keep in mind that this is found security holes in 2005, not accumulative either. There is also the philosophy that Linux developers report bugs and they are public. Microsoft doesn't always report them. They often abandon software. I'd expect just about every vulnerability in Windows 95 to be found by now. So if there isn't a whole lot of vulnerabilites found in this operating system, I wouldn't be surprised.
Ouch. I know how you feel. I used to be a HelpDesk Technician for a school where I had to go visit offices (as opposed to solving problems over the phone). All ran Windows. I've cleaned up more malware than you can shake a stick at.
I'd have to say that this is actually blown a tad out of proportion.
I used to work as a HelpDesk Technician for a school. This job was a tad different than ordinary HelpDesk positions at other places. I didn't handle problems over the phone. I'd walk to the office and fix it there. Now to do my job I was told the password for the built-in admin account on every machine. I was just a volunteer too.
However, I often needed to get into someones office when that person was absent. So I had to call security and and have them let me in. The reason was because they would not let a student have a key. So I can have the admin password to every computer and for some reason, no key. I've spent countless hours waiting for security. Though to be fair, only the admins had control of the servers. These particular admins aren't stupid.
Now, the one thing I did the most was clean spyware off of computers. I have found 200 and more peices of spyware (and by spyware I mean adware + spyware, etc.) on administrative computers and in security. The administrative department uses passwords and enters student information. This means that the school was broadcasting private, personal, and sensitive information to some joe nobody knows.
Oh wait, leaking personal student information poses no cost whatsoever to the school. Nevermind.
There is a difference between criticism and libal. "Cockmaster" is defamatory, abusive, and not criticism. Criticism is a critical (root word hear) look at something.
I'm not saying who's right or wrong here, but I do have a concern for certain kinds of bad-mouth.
In Myspace.com there's a thing called "Rate Your Professor." I thought this was a horrible idea. This would pit teachers against eachother because it would compare teachers. You can talk about what teacher is better all you want with your friends or whomever, but this would be a written record that is readily retreived at any time. The teachers could not do well knowing that they are so vulnerable. They don't even have a chance to rebuttle and defend themselves. It's abusive. This is wrong.
Further more, if you have a problem with a teacher, you should take it up with the teacher personally, and odds are, you'll find that the teacher was right to say or do what ever it was, or you can take it up with the administration.
Schools have a reputation. That's how ones degree is respected. A degree is the school giving one confidence in that one person for completing the courses. It lets one make the claim with the school to back him or her up. Now if one really dislikes the teachers, perhaps one should consider another school.
Continuing to go to a particular school implies acceptance that the school has the reputation. Now the school has a reputation to uphold and defend. The school will hire only teachers that are good enough for the confidence of the school. The teacher will contribute to the school's reputation or that teacher will not teach for that school. If the teacher is a bad teacher, this should be brought up with that teacher, or the administration. If that fails, one should leave the school and seek a degree elsewhere. It is disrespect of the school to pit teachers against eachother. Besides, they are human too, and should be given the same respect as any other.
As pithy, criticing a teacher publically is hypocritical because by going to that school one implies acceptance of that school's reputation. That school wants to maintain this precious reputation and will only hire the best teacher it can. Criticing a teacher is to say that the school did a poor job of chosing teachers. So, did one accept a poor reputation?
At any rate, it is libal to post such disparaging things about someone. It's also defaming someone, and making someone famous who isn't already famous (this is actually illeagle, think about it). "Cockmaster" is not helpful criticism, it's an insult. Insults are an attempt to bring contempt against someone for being vicious (full of vice, not grizzly rage) and to push them into a lower place in society. This is abusive.
It would sound as though I mean to say that the kid was all wrong, however I make no claim as to what the school did in response was right either. I just had a concern with his action.
Wouldn't UML help with engineering? It's designed of this purpose. You can UML anything, and reports have it that UML makes it easier to find bugs, and make deadlines.
Well, if taking your own bone marrow and growing this into a new organ for your own body is what happens, then I can honestly say not only is that not unethical but also a nice way to evade the difficulties that come with organs. I don't like organ transplants, not because it's unethical, but because that person has to take medicine reguraly which puts them at risk to all sorts of problems. Using someone elses bone marrow simply isn't going avoid the doner problem, but will make it possible relieve the deal with a short organ supply...and everything that goes with organ donation.
I would like to see cloning of body parts. Some doctor takes a cell from the patients body, and it grows into the organ that's neede, and that's implanted. Though a long shot with todays technology, the controversy of Stem-cell research would be a thing of the past. Further more, the complications with a donated organ would not exist.
While I find it great that technology can find cures and whatnot, I find stem-cell research rather unethical. Stem-cell research is using the bodies of wouldbe humans. Now I say wouldbe but in reality these are full human beings. They are hardly developed however, but they have all the components to grow into babies, so they are completely human.
Stem-cell research would be taking a body of another human being, and changing it's growth pattern to become part of someone else.
I know that this could allow people to walk, but I think that other methods must be found in instead of Stem-cell treatments.
This is essentially playing God in the worst sense. While many of us might not believe in God, certain, this violates the sanctity of life. Would you want to be used as a treatment into someones body, instead of growing into a human?
I know that many of these come from fertility treatment, and would be disposed of anyways. If this were to happen to you, do you find it would be ethical to turn you into a treatment rather then to returned into non-existance? Your state as a Stem-cell treatment would be nothing more than a few cells in somebodies back. This is a horrible existance. It would be better simply to not exist, because either way, you wouldn't be conscious, just in the latter you would be worse off.
In the least, Stem-cell research is pretty creepy if you ask me.
...however, this does not mean that the vulnerability only affects the operating system reported since this information is obtained from open-source information.
Huh? What does this mean? I don't understand.
Furthermore, is this where they got all their information? Where did the Windows vulnerabilities come from? Open source? Can't be!
Of course you can find the vulnerabilities in the source, if it's open. Is this how they found the Windows vulnerabilities, or in some report? Looking at the source? I'd like to view the source myself. Maybe Linus would like to see it too.
They way I see it silicon chip technology is hitting a wall. The wall is heat.
Back in the day, chips like these processors today would be dreams. It's amazing how certain dreams never succeed and amazing things never dreamt become reality. The Internet was not dreamt, but it has come. The flying car does not exist in the practically and computer chips are doing nightmarish speeds. The same happens with large cities.
Most cities are not designed to become large. the result is extremely tight roads and impracticalities. The solution is all kinds of crazy technologies. Computer chips are following this path.
The silicon chip is largely inefficient in my opinion since it produces so much heat. Large cooling devices are needed now. Though a dream it may be, the basic technology that makes computer chips, specifically the CPUs, need to be changed out to more efficient technologies. I hope for optical computers in my day. If done properly, the optics could allow for extreme speeds and cooler temperatures. Optics don't cause cross-talk so wide busses that are really close to eachother could run at ultra-high frequencies (in data transmission, not in color) for near flawless function.
The XBox 360 may be designed with a poor implementation of cooling, but it is not the only device that produces a lot of heat. I don't like Microsoft myself, but I certainly don't blame Microsoft for producing a high heat device. Though they should have added a better cooling device.
Ultimately, we are hitting the wall, and Microsoft is taking some heat (sorry). AMD may produce a cooler chip, but I think a new technology is needed to advance the old fashioned silocon-transistor-metal based chips. Add optical technology (again, a dream) and free ourselves of this burden.

That's what you learn as a n00b. I'm starting elevate to the higher levels of n00b, and graduate into 'user' myself.
Naw, Microsoft will just buy another license from them for another enormous pile of money. This is FUD, my friend. You understand.

What about the children with dyslexia. That would just kill them! Dyslexic students have low enough self-esteem as it is.
Yes you can. Go to How to Costomize Windows XP for Security for a howto on costomizing Windows to be as secure as you want it!
