... uses machine learning to analyze account activity and recognize unusual patterns, such as account details being used in two locations within similar time periods...
Wow, almost everything is machine learning now! Such a buzz word...
One example he gives is holding up your hand to pause a video.
What about the people without arms, you insensitive clod!
While administrator access is needed to execute a Bashware attack, this is fairly easily obtained
Really? that sounds like more of a problem than some particular tool....
simple tools
I think that what was simple back when the original *NIX tools were developed is quite different than what is simple today. With more memory / CPU / advanced tools / (hu)man power, things that might have been moderately complex might fit into the "simple" category today.
do one thing and do it well
"one thing" is quite subjective. It almost never means a literal "one thing". It's possible to argue that almost every piece of software does "one thing", depending on how you set up your argument. Likewise, its possible to argue that almost no piece of real software does "one thing".
The thing with average is, you can't look on the tables and say 50 miles is enough for most.
No one in this thread has yet. I'm not worried about people mis-interpreting my post, this is slashdot, right?
I'd had Linux on it. I put the disc in, loaded it up. Everything worked, and worked well. Then I loaded Vista on it. It took me a few hours to find the network drivers (because the model wasn't listed on the manufacturer's website (Lenovo)), and then a few days to find the SM Bus drivers. I still haven't found the audio drivers for it. I did install the nVidia drivers on it, that took three reboots to get them going. The updates took me 9 hours to download (for some reason, under Vista, the download speed is almost a quarter of what it is under Linux) and install. This is what you'd have me leave Linux for? I thought Windows "just worked," and ran everything!
Which version of Linux (release date / year)? If it is a more recent build than from 2007, comparing it to Windows Vista (which was released in January 2007) is hardly fair... I'm not surprised 8.5 YEARS of updates took a while to download.
