  4. Windows vs. Linux

    in Rev'ed Up?

    Posted

    I won't debate the merits of Windows or Linux. All I wonder is how a company with a proprietary OS, which is rife with security problems (as has been evidenced by the plethora of "updates") can claim another OS has no security? 4_1_72[1].gif That's the pot calling the penguin black, eh?

    Seriously, I think the Linux development model is far superior to anything Microsoft could ever put together, simply because Microsoft doesn't allow tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people pour over their code for vulnerabilities. When you have 10,000 open source developers all working to improve every aspect of an OS for the love of doing it, you receive far superior results than you would from a single team of, say, 20 programmers who are paid to slave over it, again, as is evidenced by the many problems Microsoft has. 10_7_6[1].gif

    Oh, and if you think Linux or the GPL aren't viable, I suggest you tell the people at http://www.groklaw.net why you think so. That would be fun. (Where's the lost in space robot smiley??)

    Not to mention, of course, that Linux is free (as in speech 4_2_205[1].gif , not as in beer 27v[1].gif ) and can be modified at whim... 4_1_6[1].gif

    If you couldn't tell, I'm not a Microsoft fan... 3_8_3[1].gif

    Okay! Your turn to slam me! 10_5_135[1].gif23_28_102[1].gif

    A ride reservation system, huh? Sounds interesting.

    My wife and kids have a season pass to Paramount's Great America in Santa Clara, CA which also allows entrance into a place called Bonfante Gardens, which is an independent park that is in the middle of nowhere.

    Anyway, I'll see about going with the kids and wife. It's been way too long since I was upside down. ^_^
