Help me with this computer problem.

But it automatically makes all users administrators! That's a big security no no. If one user acts stupidly and installs a trojan/spyware/adware, it affects all other users on the system.

Every time a user tries to perform a function, Ron2012 has to make the user wait, check to make sure the user can perform said function and ensure that the function doesn't affect other the function of other users and destabilize the system and once everything is hunky-dory, then allows the user to continue. This is against the Ron2012 design philosophy: efficient and light-weight. Rather, the users should have the expectation that functions performed by other users may affect them from time to time.

Is it just me, or do these two posts presume her209 does not understand Ron Paul? Your first statement above seems contradictory to the belief that people are responsible for their own actions, that they own the fruits of their labor, and when they fail, they don't get bailed out at the cost of everyone else. The second statement seems to describe someone having to jump through the hurdles of complicated laws and regulations. Are you sure you're running Paul2012? Sounds like you're actually running PelosiWare Extreme Edition.

It doesn't matter anyway, the Ron2012 OS won't be bought by but a few and will have to close its doors as a result anyway.

I see the problem. You aren't running Ron2012. Would you like me to send you a free CD?

The only contradiction is in Ron2012 design. It wants to be efficient and lightweight, but it also wants security where each user's action doesn't affect other users or the OS. You can't have both. Security requires overhead.

Hence UAC, which everyone loves.

While the kernel is quite light-weight and efficient, the userlands are secure. Each has their own firewall, which is completely customizable to the individual user.

Much like the way the Internet works, actually.... distributed, free-roaming, and most security/filtering/"defense" happens downstream No way, it's like it's optimal or something....

I think the biggest problem with Obama2008 was that nobody could access its root certificate, so a lot of people just didn't trust it. They still haven't corrected this error.

(I know, I'm just going with it)

Wasn't it a self-signed cert anyway?

Hahaha... good one! But I'd argue plenty had access to the public certificate as it was publicly distributed, but people suspected anything signed by Obama 2008 believe its private certificate is compromised.

Duh! A real OS for all Worker...small flightless birds.

What the hell is "Linuh"? Russian X=Voiceless velar fricative.

 

[manlymatt83]

Then people should have just encrypted something with the public certificate and seen if Obama2008 could decrypt it....

I've had some problems with my install of Obama 2008. However I had upgraded from Bush 2004 (after being forced to upgrade to that from Bush 2000), and at least now my OS doesn't start attacking others computers (until recently). Also I have a few less concerns about my personal information being sent places without my permission, but it does seem Obama 2008 found some leftover registry entries from Bush 2004 and incorporated them into its functionality. I'm still trying to figure out how to remove them.

Is anyone running the platform-independent, java-based TSA patch? I read that it was supposed to increase security, but all it seems to do is open up my media player and show me performances of old community theater productions...

Ok, this might be the best one yet.

I was running HarryBrown2000, but it died. Then I tried RonPaul2004, but it doesn't seem to work on real world problems, just keeps giving me warnings that my proxy virtual memory RAM needs gold contacts. I thought about trying one of the big corporate OS's, but the adverts all seem to be about why I shouldn't use the other one. Besides, one wants to control all my processes and the other wants control over all my resources, and it's so hard to keep up with which is which . . .

Yeah, this thread rules.

I emailed Palin tech support and the response I back from my question was a blank email.

Well, that's what you get for asking her to list all the countries she really can see from her house...

Update:

I just got another email from Palin tech support asking why I asked a gotcha question.

I do believe this is the only discussion thread in this entire forum without a bunch of arguments and name calling. Apparantly the only way to discuss politics here is to try to be funny about it while also being nerdy. I guess our nerdiness outweighs our partisanship.

Without doubt. It's also a rich topic; there is nary a party nor a politician that doesn't richly deserve being mocked.

You need to install the new "Weeping John" water cooling system, keeps your system nice and cool but can occasionally be the cause of total system shut downs over minor device conflicts with the potus controller

The old McCain OS kept crashing and when I finally got it up an running it crashed again.

I just install Liberal Anti-Virus and it said it wasn't my computer's fault, that it had been oppressed by faster larger newer computers. It suggested taxing the larger computers for a fair distribution of RAM and Hard Drives.

I was all set to try the Tea Party OS, but then I found it wasn't compatible with any current apps, And only came with Fox Media Center.

I'm not catching on, or at least one of us isn't. Clarification? Specific example?
