<<< If everyone switches over to Linux in a few months there will be more viruses for Linux targeted at it's security holes than you can shake a stick at. >>> Sorry, but the internet is already mostly non-IIS. According to Netcraft.com, Microsoft runs on less than half of the web servers than Apache software runs on. Even though Apache is twice as large as IIS, nobody has written an Apache exploit that has done a fraction of the damage that Code Red has done. <<< Do you think they sit around saying "hey IIS 5.1 has this big security hole, lets ship it" ? >>> Because Microsoft has an embarrasing history of having its own computers hacked because it failed to apply its own patches to its own systems, I wonder how much Microsoft's employees care about security. Heck, Apache hasn't had one extremely bad security flaw since 1997. ( http://www.zdnet.com/eweek/stories/general/0,11011,2792860,00.html ) <<< Is it not more plausable that it simply has been a bigger and more worthy target of virus writers, hence why it has been shown up. >>> If you want to target 26% of web servers, you go after IIS. If you want to target 59% of web serveres, you go after Apache. Funny how script kiddies seem to favor the smaller target over the bigger target.

Thank you Roger :-) -
What do you think?- The Lord/Liar/Lunatic is a false trilemma. There are several other options: Jesus could have misquoted, or even made up (It's funny how there are several surviving histories that were written during the early 30s AD and how none of them ever mention Jesus...Jesus does get a scant few short mentions in later histories, but even those references are questionable. See http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/scott\_oser/hojfaq.html for a list.) 2) If you want an opposing view to the "Case for Christ", there's one at http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/jeff\_lowder/strobel.html 3) One thing that the Christian church will never tell you about is the "diabolic mimicry" excuse. All of the major features of Christianity--a godman born of a virgin who dies and is reborn for mankind, baptisms, communion, stories of miracles and healings, etc. had been in pagan religions centuries before anyone had ever heard of Christianity. Naturally, the early pagan critics of Christanity accused Christians of following a cheap rip off of pagan religions. The early Christian Church countered this accusation by calling paganism "diabolic mimicry". According to the early Christians, Satan had found out about Christ centuries ahead of time and established Christianity-like religions well before Christ was born in order to confuse mankind. I think that the fact that early Christians made such a pathetic excuse is sufficient reason to believe that Christianity is nothing more than a cheap rip off of earlier religions.

DELL pulls Linux from its PCs"The real world is WINDOWS"? Linux is already in the real world. Companies/organizations using Linux include Cisco, IBM, Boeing, Mercedes-Benz, DaimlerChrysler, the US Navy, the US Post Office, Re/Max Team Ideal Realty Inc., the New Jersey State Police, the US Senate Democratic Leadership, the Netherlands Office for Science & Technology, Banco BNL do Brasil S/A and the list goes on. ( http://www.m-tech.ab.ca/linux-biz/ ) Not to mention the special effects in the blockbuster movie Titanic as well as the animation in the hit movie Shrek. The penguins are here, they're doing serious work and they're not going to go away. C Morell
