[Ice-9]

And every moron that's gonna read that (anyone looking for security tips on a M$ website is a moron by definition) is gonna go "Oh wow, luckily my Xpee has all of that, I'll better make sure "auto-update" is turned on."
And so the Evil Empire is gonna be able to sneak in all of it's trojans and DRM stuff, bug fixes that cause more bugs, etc, etc ........
Sad story, sad story!

1. unpluge computer
2. take harddrive out
3. get a nice drill
4. turn drill on and put through drives
5. pile computer and all removable media
6. pour gas on pile of computer shit
7. strike match, your data is now secure from hackers

So M$ has: "7 Steps to personal Computing Security"

Actually, I prefer these Steps instead:

I especially like this (in the keep-software-up-to-date link):
 

quote:
Responsible software vendors stay vigilant and, when a flaw is found in their products, build and release software fixes that restore the expected behavior.

But, sometimes it takes as long as four months to release a patch for a serious security flaw found by an independant hacker; more than three months after the hacker informed the micro$haft team, and only after the hacker released the information to the press....
responsible indeed.

umm, whats not educational about hardcore lesbo action/*buys a ticket to hell, adds to growing colletion of them*/. seems to me, next year i am going to use the joys of X11R6 to view p0rn in class. i mean, i am going to forward ssh port 23/*i think*/ to my computer off the cable modem. then i am going to ssh into my ip from school from my laptop. bring up and xterm, and open up mozilla from my system to my laptop. if i got cuaght, they would atally care less about the porn, then the forwarded x connection through there network. and i would get past bess. and then i would be like the favorite hacker/cracker in that class. untill i told poeople that they need the Xwindowing system installed, then they would ask me howto do that, and i would have to tell them howto do it on a windows computer

sorry for the rant i just started shiting out of my fingertips and put it on this board
