I don't get it.

HAH!

raptor:
gates is a fucking idiot, he probably wrote the fucking worm (virus) so microsoft.com would get more hits for the patch. also so microsoft gets more publicity.

suselinux:
My greatest fear in this topsy tervy world of home land defence, is that Gates dosent say

"Well, this thing is aflicting windows, and windows is so crappy that no one could have produced the worm with XP, so it must have been created with Linux, unix or a mac.  Unix is comercial so a hippy haxor probably would'nt use it, and only artsy faggots use a MAC (Bill gates' words, not my own), so it must have been Linux.  nearly everyone in the country uses XP so for the safety of the nation we must outlaw Linux!"

If gates said this the right wing government you guys have would rub their palms and smile.

Yah Dr Andrew Tridgell.  And he goes to my local LUG.  And next year I get to listen to him teach me all about bits of the Linux kernel.  (He occasionaly guest lectures at my University.)  Drool.  Worship.  Bow.   :D    We loves you Andrew!

From what I've heard, the samba team hasn't had any want for pizza.

They always have pizza.  $6 at every CLUG meeting and you get a large pizza.  Who wouldnt want pizza?

Turn on your firewall, also look up the tool removal for msblast.exe on symantec.com, and run that. Getting online without a firewall is stupid anyways.

Yeah if you have insecure servers running it is.  Firewalls should be a redundancy, (ie you shouldnt rely on them) at best.  No offense but assuming that just running a firewall alone makes you safe is kinda lame.

edit: And yeah thanks for the clarification M Obrien.  Wouldnt want to associate samba with cmb.
