I love the way it helps me produce insanely good work very quickly.
My thoughts exactly. It's effective and good. I don't think it will take over Java or any of those languages ($$$$ issues), but it's going on strong. So yes, I think it's a success, though, as the article mentions, not as big as a success as probably Microsoft wanted. But what were the objectives anyway?
That's not necesarily true. Besides, that study might be right over there, but here in southamerica is directly the opposite. I don't think nowadays kids are as cliquey, not to mention that those cliques are notably bigger in an environment where you can look for those people from a damn list and pick the people you think are part of your clique.
Older people are just generally less careful about accepting friend requests. That point really makes that article pretty pointless.
First off, you missed the point of my reply. It was meant to show that anything popular will have its fair share of detractors, not that Linux is as insecure as Windows and would have as many security problems. Put the gun back into your holster.
Second, that's one of the most biased articles I've ever read: No surprise when the one who wrote it is named "Roaring Penguin", and the website is desktoplinux.com. If something's keeping me from loving linux, it's the rabid fanboys trying to convert me, screaming and preaching something oddly resembling the rants that Jehova's Witness try to throw at me.
News would be that no one takes time to complain about windows whenever some new vulnerability is discovered.
I'm willing to be that if any one linux distribution was used as much as windows, the story would be different.

Here in Venezuela you're lucky to get around 60% of minimun wage as an intern. Be enthusiast, and don't slack off. Thing's will get better.

I don't need to convert to anything. I'd rather use NOD32 and continue my windows ways that haven't failed me. Sorry. :)
So you are arguing that it's better to avoid antivirus completely?

Is there actually a film even planned?
