How can you possibly explain them using APPLE products in the movie
"Hackers"?! Geesh, what self-respecting technophile (let alone hacker)
would use an APPLE these days? I see paid advertisements in movies all the
time for APPLE.

Irrelevant, given that the thread in question is about global warming.
Furthermore, the digest threads are not "never ending", and please
note that people like Eric and Marty have posted more digests than I
have as a result of their individual quests for "entertainment".
> now don't go doing the same bullshit here.
What alleged "bullshit" are you referring to? Perhaps Jason's and
Aaron's? I have no control over theirs. I can point to the irony
of Jason's remarks and hope that he learns from it, however.

The key word here is "if". Noting the irony of Jason's remark isn't
being defensive, it isn't idiotic, and as for moronic, your invective
is closer to that than my note of irony.

Perhaps readers should ignore your statements while you're in this

What alleged "rambling" are you referring to? My response to Jason

Try directing your fire extinguisher at the base of the flames. It's
more effective that way. Feel free to count the number of words
posted by Jason, Aaron, and myself to this global warming thread
prior to the time of your complaint. Then tell me why you're
complaining to me and not them.

For most early-era operating systems, there was not much of a
difference between binary and source code. Writing operating systems
in high-level languages is a pretty recent development. :)

That is what I thought. You are mistaken in your terminology. In order to
partition a harddrive it has to be formatted first. After it is partitioned
that partitions need to have the filesystem made, which is what you are
doing when you call it formatting.
When you format a floppy the format command both formats and makes the file
system on the floppy which is two in fact two processes handled by one
program in the Dos and Windows environment. What you would call low level
formatting of the harddrive is the real formatting process, the the MS
format commands do not do for harddrives.

I can think of at least two reasons.

Name one advertisement that you know is paid, and how you know.

They probably donated some Macs, but I doubt they make it a practice to
pay "big bucks" for placement.
They probably don't have to.

That's a bit categorical there buddy. The majority of Windows
administrators I know are highly individualistic. But maybe they just
"think" they are administrators. It's easy to see how they could be
fooled into thinking that what with those paychecks and all :-)

Well haven't they? If you close the ports where the exploits are the
exploits cannot be used. I can go into Windows NT or 2000 TCP/IP
properties and disable all ports without any additional software. Just
try to exploit that machine :-)

Agree. A server with *no* ports open is no much of a server. You just
need to have *only* those ports you need open and have properly patched
server software behind them.

You didn't answer the question, Max. Why don't you use Linux at home?
If you are worried about having to relearn everything then why not try
Mandrake 7.1 with KDE2.0? It's sufficiently Windows-like. I've used
krn and it's not that big a jump from Agent. You could probably make
yourself alot happier if you'd just switch.

But you will continue to give him your time. I'll bet that you'll have

One or more are likely to be a response to one of his. If your time
