It's a war. It also seems that, for whatever reason, every time that M$ either does something publically, or "shit is happening", the attacks get worse. By deduction, one would tend to think that the overall aim is to knock down Microsoft even more and bring more embarrassment to them publically; now that Microsoft has purchased RAV (sad sad sad - because I install it on all machines that come through the house) I would presume that the attacks are going to get even trickier, sneakier and more dangerous (for the Windows OS that is). Careful observation of public news and also hacker news seems to point in that general direction. In comparison to last year and the year before, it appears to have gotten much worse - upwards of more than 150% worse (and that's general). Either which, I am safe, and when I dump my customers' data on my drives, I clean it from linux which at least ensures the data integrity when the box leaves the house... -- Thu Jun 12 01:55:01 EST 2003 01:55:01 up 1:53, 3 users, load average: 0.27, 0.19, 0.10 ----------------------------------------------------------------- | __ __ |kuhn media australia | | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ----------------------------------------------------------------- linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1 & RH 7.3 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 ----------------------------------------------------------------- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * Odd objects attract fire never lurk behind one -- Murphy's Military Laws n67
