kb => kilobit kB => kilobyte Large difference, factor of 8. 28.8 kb/s is differnt then 28.8 kB/s. Capitol 'K' generally is used today for 'Kibi' prefixes, meaning actually 1024 vs 1000 for kilo.

I'm a coder not IT so my knowledge of security pretty much stops at installing anti-virus and setting up a firewall.

Do you work for Adobe? Because this is the mindset they have that keeps getting their products pwned. If you program you need to have a good idea about security, otherwise you're endangering others.

That depends, is it bad when you hover over the link and see the comic number and immediately know it was the one you where thinking of?

http://cryptome.org/tsa-screening.zip The actual link.

If anyone in the US picked anything except "non at all" I just want to call bullshit on you right now. Swine flu tests are on a shortage and only the elderly, pregnant and a select few are actually getting tested. You'll know if you got the actual swine flu test if the physician took a very long bent q-tip jammed it up your nose similar to the whooping cough test. All the other "swine flu tests" being done are actually seasonal flu tests, which will result in a positive regardless of the flu type. Symptoms are identical to seasonal flu, and both are very contagious, it really is impossible to determine which flu you have w/o the proper tests; which are just too expensive and short handed to be used widely this season.

But Chromium also lacks most functionality that the other distros have. It's decently easy to make something fast and secure when it doesn't do very much.

Odd, I was under the impression they used the trojans to stop from accidentally breeding.

As it turns out Snow Leopard users can vote. However, because of an obscure bug rebooting their machine will delete all their poll data.

Except *doze server machines arn't compromised anymore often then *nix ones because they're both properly maintained.

OSX on the other hand is showing lots of justification for market-share vs malware. Ever since they peaked to 5% they've become a target, unless you want to say that they've also lost what made them secure at the same time.

What? That's exactly why market-share is so important. You're assuming they can find other linux machines. And how would they do this? How would it discover other machines? This is hard enough to do with a windows host, let alone one that has ~1/100 the market-share.

Linux in total represents less then .93% of the Desktop market. Ubuntu a fraction of that.

Broadcom(or most other) wireless chipsets, nVidia video drivers. The end.


Ubuntu is filled with wonderful software, but honestly it's not ready for wide adoption. Now maybe you can try to pin that on the hardware companies that don't support it, or the users who want to just use what they know, but it doesn't change the fact it's not ready.

"...hailed the release a 'game changer' because it provides a reliable way for developers to sort through thousands of bugs to identify the several dozen that pose the greatest risk."

Yea, because who would want to fix EVERY Bug before release? Certainly not Microsoft, that's for Service Packs are for!

Um, WINEHQ has for a long time had a "Windows port". It's used mostly for testing since substituting the real system files is easier in the actual environment; and some other debugging is easier too. Since the new site layout however I've yet to find the correct link for it, otherwise I would post it.

The thing about P2P that's not the same for the rest of the internet is it's protocols are always evolving. Sure you'll be able to stop some stuff today, but you'll always be one step behind in a feudal battle against users, and in this case registered voters who may not fully agree with your ideas.
