Them is lies. The truth can only come from those messages originating from microsoft or from those orgs that are paid from the holy coffers of microsoft.

The only biggot on this thread is you

It's "bigot", you dolt.

I am content to use windows and Linux, OSS and Closed source... Just because you ignore the problems of your fan boy os does not mean I do..

You're the one trying to change the subject to Windows, fan boy. /SARCASM

So let me ask you do have to be a chicom to see the windows kernel?

Try to stay on topic. It's not that difficult.

Again the CVS vulnerability is found and fixed on the same day..

Boy OSS is having a crappy day showing its source control and code checking procedures.

BTW if I cant be sure if linux is fixed (even though I can see the source) how can I be sure a windows patch actually ever fixes anything??

Sheezus, what a dim bulb. RPC ain't the NIC driver.

That isn't an overflow in a driver, that is a security issue with a windows subsystem that, while not directly related to the NIC drivers, uses the network subsystems to do it's work.

For windows NIC driver bugs you may have to search the microsoft knowledge base (for drivers supported by microsoft) or the 3rd party vendors themselves.

Thank God every CVS server on the planet has been simultaneously upgraded with this patch -- and no single CVS server exists that hasn't upgraded. /SARCASM

A freaking driver bug causes a kernel meltdown? Must be a benefit of that space age monolithic design, LOL.

Remind me again where the video drivers for W2K and up execute?

Does Linux causes the heartbreak of psoriasis, too?

I believe from your past posts that you are a troll. I hope the admin moderator watches your posts, because you seem to be more interested in causing trouble here than having a serious talk about ideas. Before you get into the free speech stuff, this site is Jim Robinson's property, which I respect, and I hope he or the admin moderator eventually sees you for who you are and exercises their right to boot you off of here.

Some of my ideas are very different from many conservatives here, but I had enough respect for what I get out of this site to not start picking fights with several people my first few days posting.

Mr. or Mrs. Admin Moderator, which ever one it may be, Am I being a troll? While my husband says I can be a very hardheaded person at times I fail to see how my posting rises to the level of being a troll. If I am, please accept my appoligize and let me know what I am doing wrong and it will not happen again. I appoligize if I am wasting your time, just let me know.

My comment that you responded to was a comment on a technical point, what in it (or my other comments) did you identify as trollish behavior.

Thank You.

If I may have a few momemnts of your time, what exactly did you find so offensive about my posts that you felt the need to have me removed from this site?

Thanks!

"Typical change-the-subject-behavior. /SARCASM"

Beats the F out of making a point, being proven wrong, then abandoning a thread.... like you do, Bush Zero-Thousand, charter member of the Microsoft Dope Tokerville Institution, or is it Society, or whatever. ;)

"Not a good day for OSS bigots."

With you, there are 2 classes of people...

Microsoft using Paladins

OSS Bigots.

Why can't you fathom that there are legions of happy OSS *USERS* out there?
