Communism tries to deny that people are selfish...and thus, let's the
selfish motives of those who are in charge run completely unchecked.

Capitalism and popularly-elected, Constitutionally-limited Republic,
both, in their spheres (economic and political, respectively) recognize
that people are selfish...

Capitalism harnesses selfishness and steers it to productive means.

Constitutionally-limited Republic form of government, quite frankly,
just STOMPS on selfishness which gets completely out of control.

Nope. Microsoft hated them because their boss at the time [Andreessen IIRC]

People started to be interested by version 3. IIRC with version 4, IE had
navigator on the ropes, and I believe that was before the integration in
Win98.

Ah yes, good 'ol easy-to-use Windows, you know, the one that's supposed to
save costs on Sys Admins, because "they practically administer themselves".
Windows has an ultra intuitive UI, like the "make start-up floppy" feature,
in settings->control panel->add/remove programs, right where a computer
novice would expect such an option to be.  Windows also features WordPad,
excellent for editing your registry by hand in case Windows f*cks something
up.

Sounds easy to use to me.  Wait a second, you forgot to call Microsoft tech
support, which features intelligent representatives at the other end with
no busy signals whatsoever.  And please don't tell me MS tech support isn't
helpful, because the rep I spoke to had a Ph D in computer science, and I got
through in 1 pico seconds with no busy calls whatsoever.

My analysis is that you have bad HW, bad drivers (not MS's fault), or you're
just extremely stupid. Because Windows is such a great operating system with
so many great features, I'm surprised Win 2K didn't locate your setup CD lying
across your room automatically, float it in mid-air, insert it into the CDROM 
drive by itself, and automatically configure the correct drivers.  See, it's
always operator error when Windows screws something up.

Or, dammit, it HAS to be bad drivers.  OK, I have it:  Windows 2000 somehow
sniffed your HW, found out it had been running Linux, and rejected the HW.
Whatever you do, please please PLEASE don't BLAME MS.  Dammit, MS is like
every single other company on the earth.

No platform DLL Hell means no O/S lock-in means no applicaton lock-in

Great parody. I love it when the Wintrolls tell us that windows si really
easy to use and any idiot can use it. When we tell them it crashes, they
say that you have tohave a qualified admin, and not any idiot can do it,
without reference to what they said before.

I can only note here that Debian has /var/log/setuid.changes,
/var/log/setuid.today, and /var/log/setuid.yesterday.  This is
the equivalent of a security guard making the rounds, at a certain
time.

There are probably other security features which I need to look for.
An audit record at the kernel level would be nice -- and I suspect
could easily be added, if it's not in there already.  (I'd be a little
surprised if it wasn't, but I'd have to look in the kernel source.)

Pedant point: Chad is right, here.  If one has an object tree
rooted at, say, /a/b/c, in Linux, then changing the rights of /a/b/c
will not affect the rest of the tree (although chmod -x /a/b/c
will render the tree inaccessible to all except those proceses
which were lucky enough to have an inode open -- and those proceses
will lose the ability to pwd or getcwd(), if I'm not mistaken).

Whether this is a big issue is not clear to me, however.
But I'm not a security expert, and most Unix admins will
use chmod -R, I would suspect.  (The more paranoid might
use 'find . -type [d|f] [...] -print0 | xargs -0 chmod'.)

(Side point: I would hope chmod -R doesn't propagate through
subdirectory symbolic links.  However, the manpage says nothing
regarding same.  NT doesn't have 'em. :-) )

A Google search on "Computer system security" dredged up the
link

http://www.mapnp.org/library/infomgnt/security/basic.htm

which is a short and general treatise on basic computer system security,
written by Carter McNamara, PhD.  It does not mention DAC.

Another page mentions something called 'C4I':

http://www.sei.cmu.edu/str/descriptions/security_body.html

or

http://www.sei.cmu.edu/str/descriptions/security.html

for the frame-enabled.

I'd have to sift, and I'm too tired right now to do so, for a page
which mentions DAC; these just happen to be near the top of
Google's returned list.
