Rex,
I've always read your posts with enjoyment and this
one was no different.
But we have a difference in philosophy here which
we need to straighten out right here and now.
The #1 problem with commercially written software
was marketing constant efforts to bear the unripe fruit.
This unripe fruit makes them look bad.
This unripe fruit is what causes customer confidence to
decline.
I would like to say to you and everybody else
in the commercial sector this one thing.
This GNU/LINUX thing has changed much
in the way you've been doing business lately.
Open source for one instance.
The GPL license for another instance.
The least BUGGY code for another instance.
Excellent security for another instance.
Marketing's efforts will NEVER be put ahead
of these concepts.
This is not a fast food place.
This is not Microsoft.
We don't EVER want to create another
Microsoft.
There is nothing wrong with the 2.2 Kernel.
If need be they can just SELL that this
Christmas.
And pushing the GNU system will accomplish
nothing.
If anything, the GNU system will change
the Marketing PUSH philosophy of the
software business. It won't be the
other way around.
Let's don't forget that GNU/LINUX already
has a great success record in the industry.
And this SUCCESS has NOTHING to
do with MARKETING CAMPAIGNS nor
MARKETING DESIRES.
GNU/Linux customer success is mainly
attributable to customer loyalty.
People use it because it works much
better than Windows.
People use it because it has more features
and functions than Windows.
People use it because it's free software.
They aren't using it because they saw a
T.V. ad or what they read in a news group.
People love it because there truly is
NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE like it.
GNU/Linux is truly UNIQUE in the
software world.
GNU/Linux is a product of passion rather
than a product of Marketing Hype.
I think this is the only difference we
have between us.
I have a commitment toward Quality.
Where is yours. Why do we need to
base ideas of ROLLING back if we fail?
You need to get with the program here.
We are changing the world and I don't
want to see you steam rolled by
this issue.
Quality and Consistency!
This is your NEW motto!
Forget about DEADLINE!
Deadline and Rollback are things from
your FORMER LIFE.

The only really interesting questions about this whole thing are, IMO,
a) who was the thief,
and
b) what did MS say/do to the employee(s) who ran the trojan and gave the
villans access?
The latter is interesting especially interesting, since MS has been so adamant

they come under criticism after the latest worm-of-the-month costs world

Yeah Netscape sucks all round. Perhaps this wouldnt have happened if Microsoft
, by using preditory practices hadnt anihilated Netscape ?
Then again I don't use Netscape anyway.
Linux has the concept of "users", this allows all the users on this pc (8)
to have a personalised newsreader, individual ng selections, colors, sigs
and on line or off line news reading as they wish. Any news saved goes into
their home directory, the system is easy, sweet and incredibly versatile.

Well this is really nice Microsoft crap.
Especially since they got all their Source Code stolen today.
Toyota just kicked their butts out the door.
And Oracle just published results proving their
SQL server and OS is a piece of shit as compared
to Oracle on RedHat 7.
Microsoft's response too all this was just
read your license, we're going to sue.
Oracles response was just BLOW!
Considering your EXPERT background here,
tell me again what you think of Microsoft?
I personally think Microsoft Windows
is the worst OS mankind has produced
since the invention of the computer.
It is a poorly thought out, warmed over,
pancaked, overlaid, virus eaten
pile of shit.
And that's my realization.
So sir! We'll see you again
in 2 years when you'll be posting
about how nice your Linux powered
internet appliance is to write
to newsgroups.

You're still an agitator for the moocher-state, commie. Why? Because
you were a loser in high school, you're a loser now, and you drool with

Subject: Why should I keep advocating Linux?
Date: Sat, 28 Oct 2000 02:31:55 GMT
To the Wintrolls.....Go Away! This post has nothing to do with you.
During the time I've tried to advocate Linux, I keep getting flamed
about how I'm not doing advocating Linux correctly. I'm afraid that the
right way to advocate Linux seems to be to just say nothing, run Linux
on my own systems, and say nothing hoping that the other people see what
I'm running and flock to my machine to find out more about Linux. I've
done this but I've never had this happen.
It seems I can't say Linux is ready for prime time, nor am I allowed to
say that it will ever be ready for prime time in order to properly
advocate Linux. I find this very hard to do since I've been running
Linux on my machines for the past 2 years, and have been able to get my
work done in prime time (including doing work for my employer on my
laptop running linux). So when am I going to be able to advocate that
it is ready for prime time? Apparently, even hinting that Linux is
ready for Prime Time is being a 'bad' Linvocate.
I seem to have to join a group philosophy that Linux has to be compared
to Windows. I really don't understand why. My research into the
history of Linux has pretty well convinced me that Windows was nowhere a
factor into the creation and development of Linux. Furthermore, a lot
of people keep popping off about how KDE and Gnome are both Windows
look-alike, but what I see is that KDE is more of enhanced CDE Desktop,
and Gnome seems to be a cross/enhancement of Motif Window Manager and
CDE (Common Desktop Environment). So, why in the process of advocating
must I keep measuring Linux progress against Windows?
I seem to have to join a group philosophy that Linux has to have a
single GUI standard just like Windows. I can't buy this and I just
won't.....I enjoy my freedom of choice, and really appreciate that I can
make my machine look like Motif or CDE or Windows or Amiga or Atari or
Macintosh or just a simple Unix only Desktop on an account by account
basis. However this seems to make me an improper Linux advocate.
And, finally, I've read the Linux Advocacy-HOWTO, and all I really get
out of it is to show Linux by example, but don't buck the Windows
hierarchy. I don't understand how we can promote Linux if we don't let
the world know that Linux is here, yet we can just take it when the
Wintrolls keep spreading their lies about Linux. I just don't think
this philosophy will ever get Linux in a position where people will even
look at it.
So I guess I have to conclude that I'm not a Linvocate that plays by the
Linux Advocacy rules (who made these rules anyhow?). Comments?

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Sat, 28 Oct 2000 02:34:56 GMT
A client of mine got the QAZ trojan back in June when it first started
appearing and the virus scanners didn't have it in their database.
What happened was it got on the kids PC and when he networked them
together sometime in June, the virus spread to the other systems on
the Network.
The giveaway was the fact that Notepad kept trying to dial the
internet and was always in the task list. The Trojan renames the real
notepad.exe to notepad.com (com files get executed before exe files of
the same name) so when you run notepad everything looks normal. The
trojan notepad sends your current ip address to some site in Asia
Pacific and if your system is open (no firewall) the fun begins.
I can't imagine how MS could have had the Trojan for 6 months without
knowing it. Also since it spreads itself to every machine on the
network chances are good the infection was much worse than they are
letting be known.
Maybe Billy should buy Symantec so he can set up a good
antivirus/trojan program?

I haven't heard the GOTO jokes yet, though they are a well-known mechanism for
quick fixes.
As for "funny", well we have pretty good /a priori/ reasons to expect that. A
few months back there was a thread on comp.risks where a guy disassembled a
really simple MS program and was horrified at what he found. (The most "funny"
parts were the inclusion of piles of string and image constants that were not
even used in the final program.)

What's your basis for this claim? You don't think *any* of us can program?
Rather, I suspect that *most* of us do.
> Oh, I know. It's SSSOOOO easy to write this stuff, isn't it?
> You're all so full of yourselves.
Actually, most software is pretty easy. All it takes is a basic level of
cluefullness, a little bit of knowledge, a good bit of willingness to stop and
think ahead, and a whole lot of patience.
The fact that large amount of quality software written by volunteer effort
abounds and continues to grow, shows that there are probably millions of people
on this planet who think this kind of stuff is easy.
The rocket science is only a tiny, tiny fraction of all code written.

I'm hardly in a position to do a comparison with MS's code, since I don't get
my e-mail in Russia. However, I am not ashamed to reveal my code in public.
Not even my unpolished pre-release code; you can download an example of about
2.5 KSLOC at http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/bdbryant/phanax/.
When you are through writing up your critique, please mail it to me. I expect
to be able to spend some time on that project next week, and I have already
solicited feedback from other quarters. Might as well add yours into the pile.
Better yet, send patches; that's what releasing your code to the public is all
about.

Yes, women do find the ability to properly support one's self (without
