Worried about Conficker?

If you're running any flavor of Windows, you should be worried!

Stop worrying and move up to a secure operating system like Ubuntu. Get
it at http://www.ubuntu.com/ You'll be glad you did!

I'm kind of wondering who would be stupid enough to run a browser written
for Windows under Linux using WINE, when the same browsers are available
for Linux natively.

Also, I *do* run several apps written for Windows in Linux using WINE.

You need to be a little more precise in the wording of your FUD.

WINE is not an emulator.

What's the point if it runs under WINE ?

Actually, under Windows, using NewsLeecher with 4 d/l threads, the max
d/l speed is about 250 KB/sec.

Running NL under WINE, the same server, same 4 threads, and it comes down
the pipe @ 600 KB/sec.

XNews is not 'slowed down' either.

Also, Quake4 running/installed under WINE runs FASTER than the Linux
native version....and runs as good as when in Windows.

So a blanket statement of 'There is a layer between your Windows program
and the Operating System, slowing down the Windows app.' is not 100%
accurate, as well as 'slowing down' the app being subjective.

Now....if you want to talk about another layer between you and the OS,
you need to look no further than MS's .Net technologies. The 'managed'
libraries that MS is pushing everyone to use does just that, it adds yet
another layer between the top-level app and the underlying Windows DLL's
that are being used.

ANY program can perform better using unmanaged code directly accessing
the Windows API (ex.- VC++) than it can if using a .Net technology.

You are absolutely correct. I never said all programs did.

If I went away, both the nymshifter and his master Frank, as well as
YOU, would continue your lying and trolling ways without me.

All the time and I do it. The time I spend here is minuscule in comparison.

What broken record? My name's Alias, not Frank or the nymshifter and I
don't worry about my dick getting hard, do you or do you just worry
about my dick getting hard?

I'm sure Solaris is great. I ordered their free CD three years ago and
no delivery yet. Just the kind of company one can rely on ...

My first computer was a Mac, the first Mac. I bought it in 84 for
thousands of dollars. I sold it in Venezuela for a two thousand dollar
profit. No thanks, why have a Mac when you can have Linux for free and
be able to update hardware at a good price and at will?

What's hilarious is that he's too stupid to realize it.
