They are so cute when they try to convince the world their platforms are more secure....
I thought I'd share my favorites: "I've never seen a systematic study that showed open source to be more secure," said Dorothy Denning, a professor of computer science at Georgetown University who specializes in information warfare. --- Is there a systematic study that says they were less secure??? What a bozo statement. "Microsoft's push is a new front in a long-running company assault on the open-source movement, which company officials have called "a cancer" and un-American." un-American? In the sense that "American" means anything MS profits from, I guess. a Cancer? No wonder I feel dirty. I liken those f&%^#ing macro viruses more to a cancer than anything else. "Microsoft also said open-source software is inherently less secure because the code is available for the world to examine for flaws, making it possible for hackers or criminals to exploit them. Proprietary software, the company argued, is more secure because of its closed nature." Hmm. If they say it, it must be true. Just more FUD-rhetoric. Nevermind that there are (I would argue) FAR more well-meaning folks testing OSS software than ill-meaning ones. #mike -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Scott M Stark Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 1:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [JBoss-dev] Open-Source Fight Flares At Pentagon Microsoft tries to squelch Open Source at the pentagon, but apparently many at the pentagon are seeing the light. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A60050-2002May22.html _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ Jboss-development mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-development _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ Jboss-development mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-development
