By the way, Windows is attacked so frequently because it's 80% of the

but the virus writers don't bother. They are much happier attacking

were on
top then everyone would be bashing that OS for its vulnerabilities.
Oddly enough windows music copy protection is attacked just as much
as itunes copy protection
even tho 95% of the bought music on the internet is itunes based. So
does that mean itunes copy protection is really good, or windows
music copy protection really bad? So why don't we see 100X more
successful attacks on itunes music protection then? Surely the same
argument above would hold?
Then again perhaps these statements are from the same folks who think
a ford is just like a mercedes. Funny thing is my work mate got
hosed for the day as his Ford SHO coolant hose was scored open by a
pulley. A *clip* broke that hold the hose away from the pulley. Funny
hoses in my mercedes for the most part doesn't need clips to hold
hoses away from rotating things, and funny I haven't had a clip just
break. Then he asks the Ford dealer for a hose (it's an 97) and told
nope go away we don't make those hoses anymore, I'm sure my benz
dealer will for a price sell me a hose for the 83, and finally to add
insult the auto-zone guys sell him 3 gallons of DexCool (better known
as DeathCool, I understand). He is on my advice look for someone to
swap it out with Zerex G-05, but in his reading it implies he must
flush the block 8 times to remove all the deathcool, of couse most
$39.95 flush folks won't do that much work.
