I do everything in my power to not run into things. That doesn't mean someone driving down the road the opposite direction isn't going to be drunk/falling asleep and run into me. I'd still like to be able to survive that.
And what happens when you hit someone else with the same vehicle? Or do you only aim for little cars?
Would an EMP-pulse disable an airbag-release system?
Here's where you can get the MEDIAN home price of Brainerd, Minnesota...
I don't see where he said that you can buy a median home with fifty-four grand. He just said that you could buy a home in her neighborhood for that amount. This is a fact and no reason to pitch a conniption.
largest fine in history (by ~2x) is no difference to what is handed to member country companies?
Wow...
GE/Honeywell and Boeing/McDonnell Douglas, both of which were approved in the U.S. but either died in the E.U. or were substantially affected by E.U. pre-merger conditions.
how about that NDC Health (EU) infringed on the (C) of IMS Health (US) in Germany, and while the German courts found in favor of IMS, the EC forces IMS to license the portion of technology/software under scrutiny.
I assume this will not meet with your approval either and that's just fine. I'll not sling mud about it but I do disagree greatly with your opinion. I think the EC is protectionist to the extreme, and I think that's fine. I think the US should force Airbus to give Boeing their flight software in the interest of making all planes safer, after all, it's better for the consumer. Right?

Just because GPL allows selling commercial software, it doesn't mean that it is very feasible.
I hear that said, yet it happens.

Yeah, I've read this "market share" argument used as a defense for shoddy MS code time and time again. That just doesn't cut it.
So you think that an attacker thinks he must exploit each platform proportional to the market share?
Or do you believe that each attacker randomly chooses a platform to specialize in proportional to market share. Or do they keep a list with number of slots according to each OS's market share?
Consider this:
Now, if the targets were 10 ft in front of you and both easily hit, how would you spend your 12 shots? Would you aim 3 shots that the smaller target and 9 shots at the larger target because that seems the fair thing to do? Or would you just shoot all 12 shots at the smaller target and go home with $2400? I know what the typical person would do.
Only when you move both targets so far back that both of them gets pretty hard to hit would any sane person consider spending any rounds on "OS X".
Attackers chose target platform based this simple economics. As long as Windows has 15 - 20 times (worldwide) the market share of OSX and as long as the limiting factor of attacks is time (the actual creation of an exploit), the attackers are going to target Windows each and every time. Only if they cannot find any exploitable vulnerabilities in Windows will they invest in another platform.
Oh, and what about Apache you say? Apache has 2 times the market share of IIS (roughly). Why isn't Apache attacked exclusively for the same reason. The difference here is that these targets are pretty distant; both Apache and IIS are pretty tight. Neither Apache nor IIS5, 6 and 7 has seen successful widespread attacks directly at the server. Neither Linux nor Windows are vulnerable at the network level anymore, especially not when behind a firewall as *all* webservers are nowadays.
The shooters have simply given up (for the time being) and went to another shooting range with better odds. BothApache and IIS has seen widespread attacks against vulnerable applications running on top of the servers. Here you could certainly argue that attackers has a preference for PHP and ASP.Ancient.
Kudos to Nokia.

(since Oracle predominantly runs now on cheap Linux/x64 boxen).
Any Oracle we have on cheap Linux/x64 runs like crap. That's why we mostly put it on SPARC, PA-RISC or Itanium hardware with Solaris/HP-UX. And the plural of box is boxes.
Always look over your shoulder because everyone is watching and plotting against you.
