I don't claim to be an English Professor or that I never make grammatical or spelling mistakes. However, if I want to trust someone with my identity, wouldn't I want a company that can proofread their website before publishing it? Two spelling mistakes that I caught in about two minutes should equal about 20 errors found by a more compitent person. Just my observation.
You all have just missed the point of the article.
'We're certainly not motivated by that amount of money, after all this time, and getting the game right is what matters. I would never ship a game early (even a couple of months), for 500k.'
LOL I must say, I do like watching people defend OSS against Microsoft and vice versa. But hoping it would get somewhere would be like trying to make communism succeed outside of theory. My two cents, good laughs though.
I say, "If someone can give me something better for free, I don't care how off base they are from their original game plan." And anyone who can pull some off the masses from the larger corporations, like Microsoft, ranks that much better in my book.
Yet another step by our wonderful government. Not too sure how far back all this goes (anyone out there feel free to help me out), but if I wanted to buy 2 boxes of sudafed for a family with sinus problems than I should be able to without being scruitinized (I know this is an extremely bad example, it's just to make a point), but instead of having law enforcement do its job to make sure there are no meth labs, lets just limit everyone good intentions or not from buying it. Now we have something being limited with an even greater reason to be a free market. I don't think I'm too old, but who remembers having those cheap home chemistry sets we got for christmas? Dangerous? Of course it is, isn't that the job of parents, teachers, and our government to help us from blowing ourselves up? Rather than teach safety, lets keep people from it. Is this a government? Or is it a baby-sitting service. My two cents and I'm glad to still be able to hand it out.
And if anyone else wants to..... download Ethereal. Or if you have some big money to spend get Network Generals sniffer. As far as the encryption goes, someone had to write the program that determines how information is encrypted. Which leads to, "If it can be encrypted, it can be forcefully decrypted at an endpoint other than the intended receiver."
Can't remember who said that, but I always seem to remember it:P
With at least half of the people speaking and reading the postings being actual IT staff or something related, we've seen standards come and go. Your not-so-IT oriented people are seeing the speed increase and believe they can game online that much faster or with other people.
All that computer power and they only come out with a video clip that I can do on a Pentium I. Good job NASA, seriously, but give us something to "ooh" and "ahh" over.
Couldn't they at least make the patch available ASAP
Since I can't say that this never happens, but try it this way. If Microsoft found a vulnerability and even released it the next day without their standard testing, how many patches would they have to release to fix their patches? There is already enough patching going on, that would make it worse.
I can see it now....
"Windows has caused a General Protection Fault in the US Government. Replace democrats and press any key to continue."
--Yea, I know, but I'm bored.
There is a simple way of avoiding any one of the situations described by other posters.
If it touches a storage drive (tape, HDD, any disk, and sometimes USB mem sticks), in most cases, it will be recovered. How do you safe guard against this? Never retain anything that you don't want haunting you years down the road. If you decide to save it, destroy it when you are done. Don't overwrite it or trust that some software will purge it from your system. Physical and total destruction is the only perfect eraser.
And remember, however nice encryption may sound - "There is no such thing as the perfect password, key, or classified information."
I've worked data recovery and security too long to see a "Fool proof system"
The actual purpose to this research is to befriend the rodents in urban areas and eventually the rats in New York. At that point science will be able to empower New York rats with a human thought process. This will ultimately lead to world domination by the US after a global nuclear holicaust kills everyone with the exceptions of: Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Ted Turner, and the New York rats (aka the ultimate army).
So McAfee finally became self-aware of M$'s flaws. It's only a matter of time till Bill acquires this knowledge to take over the world.
"May God have mercy on their souls."
But on the other hand with a company like novell pushing the OS the thought would be that it will be upgraded with the countries quirks and ideas quicker. In the same hand though Open Source as nice as it always is, relies on the communities. Hopefully Novell does the right things.
In a couple years BitTorrent will seem like gangster stuff because they made you sign contracts when you rented that movie. You will only be allowed to watch that movie with your wife, a dog, and one child. The extra friend will cost 50 dollars extra.

So I'm guessing using such wonderful programs as Ad-Aware would be a bad idea....
How nice it would be to shrug off 500 grand

Nervous??

I thought everybody agreed that this was the purpose of dual core CPUs for Windows machines. One to run the bundled Norton crud, one to run the apps.
Unfortunately this is only half right. With the release of Windows Vista it'll be one processor for the OS and one for Norton.
Trio Core CPU next??

I thought the issue was how it was bundled? Am I incorrect in that assumption?
I think the answer here is obvious.

By the time IE7 is released 2000 will be unsupported. Atleast that's what I was told.

Yea, you could use that but good luck picking it up with all the thermal grease on it. LOL Pretty neat idea though.

I'm still waiting for the TV thing to die down, HD or not HD, Plasma or LCD (plus now there is a new one to the flat TV line-up isn't there?).
But on the other hand with a company like novell pushing the OS the thought would be that it will be upgraded with the countries quirks and ideas quicker. In the same hand though Open Source as nice as it always is, relies on the communities. Hopefully Novell does the right things.
First time going there on a win2k machine and it crashed IE. I think I'll stay with google for a bit longer.
