Until the day that Half-life, warcraft 3, bf1942, c&c generals, etc migrate over to linux, i'm staying on windows.
 
Sometimes I wish websites were more like brick and mortars...

At least when you're pissed at a brick and mortar, you can knock some sh!t off the shelf when you leave.

"You will need Windows XP and Internet Explorer to continue to view any content on this site. Please go to Microsoft and upgrade your operating system and browser. You will also need to download the latest version of Windows Media Player to view video clips on this site."

I am most certainly not! I will not upgrade to WindowsXP and I don't care what garbage Microsoft tries to pull, I am not bowing to their stupid, worthless, two faced, back stabbing, (you can kinda tell I'm supposed to be mad here, no? 😀) greedy, monpolistic, rule the world, you must obey us, we are your masters, resistance is futile attitude. I will most definately not upgrade my windows box to WindowsXP, they most certainly aren't laying a single hand on any of my linux boxes, I will not stop using Mozilla in favor of InterWreck Exploder Bloatware 6.0, and they can forget trying to force me to do anything I don't wish to. I will just go elsewhere. :|

Ok, I'm done ranting. Had to get that off my chest. So, does anyone else think this way about Microsoft? :disgust:😉😀

Personally I think that's very low of them to force you to have to switch all or a good chunk of your software, including your OS, to Microsoft garbage just to do a few things you used to do before. *sigh* 🙁

Which web sites were these?
 
Dude, Windows XP is a walking security hole. Do you realize how easy it is to hack? OMFG!! Dude, I can own your PC in less than 2 minutes, even WITH a firewall. I absolutely refuse to let anyone in our company run it. It's too big of a security risk. The heck with the fact that it's packed end for end with microsoft spyware, or DRM garbage. In my opinion, after much thurough testing of XP, I rulled it the worst excuse for an OS. The highest I'll let anyone go is Windows 2000 for those needing windows.

Everyone else in the company is being switched to Linux this spring. We're going 100% Microsoft free by June 1st and staying that way.

I rund FreeBSD and Phoenix, and i have yet to get that message... maybe the underlying message is... if you are going to use a MS OS, then use their latest palyer... otherwise, just use the best... teehee....

I sincerly hope you were sarcastic, i will give you five workstations and one server to work on, hack it if you can, if you can, i will tell everyone, but as the first one is as simple as it gets, you will have to admit that you truly suck if you don't make it (truly, a one year student could, i so doubt that LordRaiden is even half that qualified)...

😉
 
You are strange....?
There is not much of a diffrience between Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
Also, I dare you to own my PC in two minutes...
I will leave it "on" tonight...
Try to hack into it, but please do not do any damage...
leave like a .txt file on my desktop, then I will believe you....
For sure

Edit: So it is not only me,
Please hack my box, so I can call you "the masta hacka"

Oh, those are dangerous words when you're talking to the chief Technology Manager (recently promoted from IT manager) of MIS. Dude, when I ran my NOC, I used to have hackers for breakfast. So I know all their tricks. How else would I be able to patch up all the holes in my security and keep them out? It's also how I tested XP. I threw the best hacking tools I could find at it and it fell flat on its face like you've never seen.

Yes, I hope you are kidding. In fact, I might actually boot into windows long enough to laugh at your silly ass trying to 'hack my box.' It's funny you mention it being a terrible operating system, and yet you like windows 2000, considering the operating system portion is almost exactly the same kernel as 2000, the only difference being a few minor tweaks, and a newer GUI. Your ignorance is why I feel no sorrow for people who bash microsoft, because you have no ground to stand on.
 
Please hack my box...
Yo have a deadline until 11:30 p.m
I am running Windows XP behind a router....

Yea, as a matter of fact, he hasn't specified the offending website as of yet.

By the way. You have no fear of me hacking your box. My statement was simply conveying that those who are the best at security are also some of the best hackers out there. You can't beat a hacker unless you know how to hack. It's good security philosophy to know your enemy, his skills, and what he can do. You are better able to defend against them if you do.
 
Hurry, only 15 minutes left to "own" my box.....
Please, hack my box?
Could you?
Pleaaaeeease......
 
What do you think happens with other companies??? Think about Quicktime or Real media... you have to update to the latest version to view most content on the web.

As for the the message you got, upgrade to WMP9.

I only said I would permit Windows 2000 because I have all the tools to secure 2000 so that it's hack resistant. Not hack proof. Mearly resistant. If you also read my other post I stated that I will be migrating our entire company away from windows. So the Windows 2000 solution would be only a temporary stopgap in the meantime for those needing to run Windows 2000 for any reasons. But I don't plan to use it for very long.

The day we're 100% Microsoft free, we're planning a huge burning. We're going to burn every Microsoft CD we have. It should make a nice fire. 😀

Yes, thank you for copping out. I don't feel the need to justify myself as a hacker, considering I know quite a bit about the security scene, and I know that the people you are talking about, and looks like describing yourself as, are known in the real hacker world as script kiddies. As in (hacker tools) what a joke. A hacker's tools are a command prompt and a box that wasn't safeguarded properly.
 
Just wait until we get TCPA in almost everyone's computer. Then you can forget about ordering anything online with a non-MS OS and browser because your system does not provide a "secure path" to their website.

That's great, now you've alienated yourself and your company from about 90% of the world's users.
 
Wow all this from a guy who manages a tech dept. for a living...

I thought they were usually less... animated... about stuff. I'd hate to work with/for you.

another one

P.S. I know a lot of very smart people who work for MS...
I am not a fan boy, I am dual booting with Linux, but I am positive that the XP is the best Windows so far......

Also, the links above, you know no offense, just kidding 😉
