isnt the windows version of firefox linked againsed the windows JPEG parsing library ?

the guys at work will still see your cache. anyways.... if i wanted to surf annonomously.... i just ssh into a Unix machine at University, set the display variable to my home IP address (to get a remote GUI login) and fireup mozilla.... although im sat at home... am actually working on he uni Unix machine.

the problem with the torrent.. is if your not fast enought and miss the feeding frenzy, donwloads can be very slow.

I use APOLLON ! Kazaa like interface, No adware, no spyware, free and OPEN SOURCE. well.. apollon is actually a frontend to giFT. but what makes Apollon / giFT special is that unlike other P2P's it uses multiple protocols...... it can search and download from GNUTELLA FASTTRACK (kazaa network) and OpenFT all at the same time. (plaus maybe others, but there the 3 i use) so you are 3 times as likely to find what ur looking for. Apollon (the greek god of Music) can be downloaded from http://apollon.sourceforge.net/ '> http://apollon.sourceforge.net/ (or just search sourceforge.net oh... and yes.... this is a linux users only program (but it will also run in knoppix liveCD as a bolt-on) for you windows victims.. oops, users lol

Kill your CD rom drive ???hows that gonna happen ?

Seems to me SQL would be perfect for what you want !(i cant remember much about SQL... but it studied it a few years back, its designed to generate tables from searches on databases)

apart from paedophiles downloading child porn.. who would need this kind of service ?

Lol... is that a joke !!!anything important, encrypt ! (with some real encryption software) GnuPG or the dm-crypt kernel driver. try to use both upper case and lower case passwords, try to include numbers and symbols. if you are suing a file as a key, take it from /dev/hwrandom if your machine has a hardware random number generator (and the driver is loaded) or /dev/urandom for software random.

if you want free software.... well i do i even have to say it ? (linux !)the older versions of Mac (OS9 and older) were not too good... but OSX is FreeBSD with a customised GUI.and i dont think you will ever find anyone (not even the most devoted Bill Gates Fanatic) will claim anything is more sttable than FreeBSD.on the Top 50 uptimes of webservers FreeBSD takes the Top 47 (last time i looked)

I use Knoppix on my home file server (it only has a 1 gig hard disk)Knoppix is a compressed bootable cd-rom with over 2GB of software. you boot the cdrom and have all sorts of software avilable for use. Security tools... Tools for fixing or recovering data from dead windows machines. cd . DVD burning software, media players (DVD VCD MPEG DIVX AVI / whatever) compilers for C, C++ Java, Web browsers email clients games file shareing. email servers http servers ftp servers ssh servers printer sharein development tools (like visual studio / VB) you can do almost anything with knoppix that you can with a normal linux distro... without having to format your hard disk or commit to anything. its a bit light on the eye candy.. and since its loading software from compressed cdrom it loads a little slow... but knoppix is a MUST have. also.... DSL is worth mention... its a cut down version of knoppix... web servers / web browsers and a load of usefull utilities on a 50 megabytes CD ! (DSL = Damn Small Linux)

mplayer is also avaiable in windows.. anyways.. how to install.... IF you are using gentoo (my fave distro) emerge mplayer [iF you are using an RPM] #download all the rpm's you need...(mplayer mplayer-common mplayer-skins mplayer-gui)rpm -Uvh ./mplayer*.rpm IF you want to compile from source #download the source code and extract it into a folder../configure && make && make install #NOTE: you wll need to add the 'with GUI' flags if you want to also compile the gui interface.. read ./configure --help for more info. source code available at design7/news.html

on my linux machine i have..... Commercial Games... (yep i like the 3rd person shooters) Quake. Quake2 Quake3 Unreal Unreal Tournament Unreal Tournament 2003 Unreal Tournament 2004 Kingpin: Life of Crime Half Life Counter Strike Opposing Forces Open Source Games Cube (3rd person shooter) Flight Gear Flight Simulator (realistic flight simulator) Torcs (realistic race car game... (uses a physics engine !!!!))

BSD is the most stable... then linux.... then all the way at the bottom windows...hmm, whats that site called with all the statistics on what websites run what server's ??? and uptimes stuff ? netstat... webstat.. i dunno... anyways.. look at the cart of the top 100 uptmes... every single one of them is UNIX / BSD. Linux's uptime cannot be tester properly as the uptime counter resets itelef every couple of years. and windows deservs a good bashing.... we will keep bashing windows untill it doesnt need its disks fragmenting.. (like all the other OS's) and is just as virrii free as all the OS's... okay, there are 1 or 2 linux virii availableIF you are dumb enough to login as root... but windows manages over a thousand a month... cummon.

this site is hosted on a Linux server... (using shadow passwords) so they will automatically be hashed. for other types of encryption... a good program for public/private key pair encryption is GnuPG (GPG) or for hard disk encryption there is a good script called cryptsetup (uses kenrel level dm-crypt)

some people may need the services that automatically exucute on bootup.only uncheck them if you know what you are doing.

all linux distro's come with that software.

then why give your opinion...! opinions comparing 2 things are not valid when you only try one of them. its posts like this that make these types of polls pointless. anyway, its a total no-brainer... New Virii per month for WIndows... (according to anti--virus companies) 1000 and growing ! New virii for linux.... (ever) ZERO. what more can i say.

Linux is the most user friendly OS for people who work with computers.I Use UNIX, Linux, SunOS, Solaris, BSD on a daily basis.... but then im using them.. i notice no difference.. they all use the same standards, they are all compatable. i dont even notice that im not using linux most of the time. this is the way it should be... Operating systems designed to make MY life easyer when moving between different Labs using different OS's. Windows is a product... and like any other product, it want to make life as hard as possible for you to convert your knoledge of windows and make it usefull for other OS's. kinda like the tobacco industry's.

Yep... this is a No-brainer....... here's a list of server OS's, from Most reliable and stable... to the worst. FreeBSD / Unix....Linux................................................................... .............................................Windows. I run a Linux server with all the usual security.. im my logs i often find windows specific exploit attempts, and only very rarely find linuc exploit attempts.. and when i do, they are for very old out of date servers. this doesnt deccecerily mean that all the windows hack attempts would suceed.... but still. ALSO.. keeping up to date is important.. may i recomend Gentoo.... its the most famous Linux distro for BLEEDING edge software.

you misunder stand my meaning....... i mean someone could replace <p>Number of guests visiting my site: <? include('alle.txt'); ?>.</p> the include file with a coomplete URL to anouther server. and replace "alle.txt" with a different filename.

Good... but you might find others steal your counter if they find it...they will link to your counter script, and store their page cound on your server.its always good to add some kind of proetection againsed this. a good, but not perfect way is to make sure the referer comes from your own site, and nobody elses.

assuming anything collapsed at all. ever read about the M-theory (an adaption of Super String Theory) the M-theory surgests that new Universes Are being born within our Universe, because the universes create their own space as they expend, they could start off in your bed-room, grow just as big as out universe, but never intruse on any of its space... if anyone is interested.. read book on String Theory, M-Theory and Stephen Hawkings' "a Brief History of time" fasicinating stuff about how gravity doesnt exist.. its just an illusion you get when viewing curved multiple dimensional space in only 4 of its dimensions.

only possiblee if you have xorg-6.8 installed... im not familiar with Mac-OXS, but i know its a BSD based system.. try it maybe.. https://www.x.org/wiki/

DUUDE.. u let your sister administer your computer !!! ???there should only be one administration account.... andno one should ever use it (unless there performing system upgrades / administering the system)and if you want to password protect your porn.. oops i mean files. check out PGP (or the free version GnuPG)

duuude....... ur thinking in terms of before and after, left and right.before the universe, before space and time there is no left right, before or after. time has not always existed.. time started. Think about the following.. IF time was infinite, and went on forever with no beginning and no end, then the time between today and the earlyest possible time would be infinite.... and the definititonn if infinite.... today would never happen. but as you see, today did happen, then reason surgests, that time is not infinite... it was created. and yes, we' will not get into discussions of religon. im not religous..... but if i was, i would not be a chirsitian, i dont care what greater purpose god claims to have... geniside murder slavery and rape is evil and i will not worship any god that commmits such acts. id be a satanist the worst thing he did in the bible was to give the humans knolegde of good and evil.
