Subject: Re: SpamAdaption
If you cant read, it is that quote i took from you "Eliminate Windows and you'll eliminate spam. As well as proximally all viruses extant today." seems pretty close on the mark to but then again i dont know english.On Feb 7, 2005, at 11:09 AM, Nick Lidster wrote:

"So what your saying is that, programers wouldnt be able to create a viris that could infect a mac OS?, or any other os that is not windows based?"
I'd like you to show me where I said that.
I said nothing of the kind; in fact there have been some rather devastating 'nix-based viruses over the years; one of the big ones from the 80s (I believe) was a sendmail worm that allowed *email* based instructions to root a system. Bad stuff, but fortunately one that was caught and secured against some time ago.
The virus detection and killing front is constantly changing. Only a fool would imply otherwise. However, only a fool would suggest that the inherently-insecure Windows platform is anything but the number one propagation engine for viruses in the world today.
did i ever say that it is not?...... but what is the main market share OS? if it wasn't would there still be as much "viri" travelling the net?
I'll snip the asinine hyperbole...
Take the MS OS out of the equation... say 5 yrs from now..... leaving any other upstart to take over the market share.... you actualy think that programmers witht he knowledge and skill are going to jsut say... w00t w00t MS is goone lets not bother tring to make a viris that can attack these other OS's.
So your belief is that MS is attacked because it's the most prevalent platform? Into which orifice have you inserted your cranium?
Fact "largest market share". most of the "kids" are born to MS... they learn the loopholes and exploit them, born on linix would they not do the same, or MAC as that is what i was using as my example before. lets look at the US as MS...... most influence to market share.... hated by the underlings that are influenced by there power.. attacked because of their market share.
"Into which orifice have you inserted your cranium?" the same one as you.. and BTW stop making kissy faces ;)
I love talking to low end mac users that say "i cant get a viris im on a MAC", then talk to a HIgh end user "well im sure that i dont have a viris... but you know what it is possible that i may get one, it will only take a person to decide to do it and it will be done... and when it happens there will be some pissed off mac users"
I've got ten plus years professional experience in programming. On multiple platforms. I'll wager I've forgotten more about hacking code than you've ever learned.
that is a good bet id take a wager on that one.... but because you have forgotten is that because your coming on in years?
And since you feel it appropriate to set up a straw man and then knock it down in as insulting an ad-hominem fashion as your shrunken cortex can formulate, here's some advice for you, kid. Get a spelling dictionary or go back to school. The word is VIRUS, not "viris", and you really need to learn a few things about apostrophizing as well.
lol, the straw man was your first post, which you set up yourself, knocking it down.. well i dont see that i knocked it down.... illuminated some flaws perhaps.... to which you resort to attacking my presious "shrunken cortex", with such big words that i amy not be able to understand as my IQ must be lower then yours...as i am soo much younger then you. a bruised ego appears to have been amde of you... perhaps thats why your so defensive...hit a nerve on your "huge cortex"
I won't engage in dialog with low-end *English* users. This discussion is terminated.
thats something i expected from my History prof....hmmmm could it be?
