IE is NOT my default browser yet mIRC continues to run IE, SO you're just full of ... I digress ....
I want no part of this @%$* mIRC... it is deleted.
The mp3 player sux ... always crashes mirc and delays sound play for other tasks, I could help,
but you dont want my help remember? As for insecurity,you are obviously ignorant.
Insecurity is NOT just my opinion but a fact. Unfortunately, Microsoft truly does not care
about security.
To Microsoft, your possession of a microprocessor turns you into a customer, a source of
potential profit. Microsoft will never do anything (willingly) that reduces its competitive position
by reducing its access to your microprocessors or relinquishing some of its leverage over
you. Never mind that these same corporations and media giants are responsible for laws
such as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), that you may one day find yourself
accused of violating based on something a microprocessor appears to have done over
which you allegedly had control or authority, because of political contributions and
special-interest lobbyist politics.
Giving you real control over your computers is not in the best interest of capitalism nor law
enforcement because such control would reduce profits and hinder prosecutions. If you
don't think these issues are a part of the complex and volatile modern world of data
security then you'll be surprised how a little knowledge of the subject will change your
perceptions. Just remember that if it becomes difficult for Microsoft to execute code on
your computers, it will become more difficult for them to extract money from your bank
accounts by selling you more software. The business methods used by Microsoft have so
badly compromised the safety of those who use Microsoft software that I've called
publicly for Microsoft to give away, free of charge to all existing Microsoft customers, the
latest build of Windows code that incorporates, for the first time, security remediations
produced as a result of the Trustworthy Computing Initiative. These architectural security
fixes are not just new features that you might like to have and may choose to pay for,
they are the first attempt Microsoft has ever made to create a product that is safe to use
and free from severe defects. That Microsoft has failed yet again to achieve a reasonable
level of safety for its products will become apparent in the coming months, but this does
not change the fact that Microsoft profited enormously by selling severely defective
products in the past and owes a debt of apology to every person and business that has
been harmed by their actions and inactions. We'll never see this apology in the real
world, of course, just as we may never see Microsoft software that incorporates common
sense security countermeasures. It is just not in Microsoft's best-interest to do what is in
your best-interest, and this alone should cause you serious concern. Many other
businesses draw a line that they choose not to cross, out of respect and care for their
customers and for the benefit of the general public. Microsoft draws no such line, and it
has thus become a despicable company run by despicable people.
buh bye ... leave that at the door.
