Obviously the idea would be that people think they don't need shoes in Africa, and the business opportunity would be showing them otherwise. You can get some nasty snake bites over there, you know...
A quick glance at recent milw0rm activity kinda debunks your statement about script kiddies and Windows. While I'm quite sure there's a number of private exploits circulating, but script kiddies sure will have more luck getting root on a Linux box (php + kernel vulnerability) than on a Windows 7 box.
I could be wrong, so surprise me.
Sad that comments like these are modded down by the slashgoats, it contains more insightful information than all the MS IS EVIL comments I've read so far.
Technically speaking, no. They squash and stretch space by definition. If they don't exist, space obviously won't be squashed and stretched by them, but that won't change their definition. They just won't exist.
It's like saying "a unicorn has wings". The fact that it allegedly doesn't exist doesn't mean it doesn't have wings when someone draws one.
"Shatter his masturbatory fantasies" ? "freedom to stab you in the face" ? "utterly absurd" ? "outright lying" ? "understatement of the millennium [sic]" ?
You and your silly hyperbole are poster child for the entire GPL generation.
Did you make a list of word processors that list ODF support as an actual feature or did you go and test whether they actually do support a decent set of ODF?
Has it ever occurred to you that the reason these specific 'raids' might be so successful is that the evidence against the target is overwhelming?
Do you really think over 9000 Internet nerds would have taken it to the streets if it wasn't about something that deserved it?
Sure, btards pull retarded shit. But the really backward retarded shit usually isn't done by large mobs.
Mod parent up. Google has to stop acting like a big bully. If this was Microsoft we'd have killed them with fire before the 4th comment on this article.
Why would it be more difficult to "write" (aka implement) exploits for one operating system than another?Assuming for the moment all you care about is the actual security of your software
Woosh! He was talking about measures taken by the OS (such as DAP) to prevent usual exploitation mechanisms.
It's almost like you're saying that people only choose Linux because it's cheap^H^H^H^H^Hfree. If all MS had to do to push Linux out of the netbook market was lower their prices, you're never gonna make it.

Which begs the question as to why expend so much energy in duplicating dotNET onto the Linux platform.
Isn't that what GNU did to commercial Unix?

No, but he's a Slashdot editor - isn't that enough?
If your installer doesn't make sure that is the case, you're an idiot, cause that's what installers are for.

But not necessarely in that order.

Make that -1, Social misfit.
You'll pay for my software exactly the amount that I'm asking you for it. If not, buzz off and go download somebody else's stuff.
Yea, and when somebody does it they get an article on Slashdot questioning their ethics. Good point.

Welcome to 2009. Sorry you felt you had to poke your eyes out. Putting them back in might fix your vision problems.
I thought the point was about the current state. Saying it will get better in the future isn't really relevant now.

If it sounds like a btard and acts like a btard...

I implore you to submit a patch to a random major oss project that causes a vulnerability and see if it becomes accepted.
One word: SENDMAIL.
I seem to remember the exact same thing making it into the official releases of sendmail. What's your point again?
