I detest leftists like Stallman, and provide links to show why. You guys not only prefer to use his software, but push it on others constabtly with lies. On this very thread you act like tortoise is a genius, when he doesn't even patch his server! There's the "irony" you're looking for, that security by obscurity is actually the only thing protecting him LOL.

Nope--the irony is you claim that we preach Stallman's agenda, when more often than not, it's you who brings him up.

Second, show me the posts where any of us have pushed open-source software on others.

I don't know if he does or not. But at least tortoise doesn't come on the thread and post utterly vile crap on these threads--he adds to the discussion.

My guess is that your boss at MS upped your quota again...

Let's see, say I have a server that is set up for web and database services (Apache, PHP and MySQL, with OpenSSH for admin). A bug shows up in sendmail, which isn't installed on my server. Only an idiot would say I should apply the sendmail fix to my server.

You probably don't know it, but you do the same thing when you use Microsoft's Auto Update. For example, it will not apply any IIS patches if you don't have IIS installed. This is why running Auto Update after installing IIS results in a bunch of patches, new and old, being downloaded.
