Because Linux is a foolproof and 100% secure Operating System


/just saying

You are comparing apples with tomatoes, since according to that article you need a working user account to exploit the bug. 'foolproof & 100% are your words. Don't think anyone with common sense is gonna state that something that is made by humans can ever be 100% foolproof. But it's pretty clear that both operating systems play in a different league, one in the secure league, and another one in the insecure league. You blame him for not having an authenticator, by that same logic i blame him for not having a secure OS.

I understand your argument as well as your logic. I was just pointing out it's not always so simple as "not having a secure OS"

Fixed that for ya.

There are more people surfing the web using Java ME as their OS than linux. Yeah, I get the point about basic differences in design but you can't really judge something that falls below the statistical noise floor of usage against something that 92% of the world uses. Apples and tomatoes, indeed, as you have completely different players in the game. Hackers who are out to actually make money wouldn't target linux even if it were LESS secure because there's no money in it due to the vanishingly small market.

Personally I prefer that you would quote me without changing what I wrote. There are other ways to make your point instead of making it look like I wrote that. But obviously I have no influence on that. Anyways:

You forget the fact that Linux is widely used in the server market as well. Saying there's no money in there for a hacker is ... well being ignorant tmho. Obviously there is a difference how a server & home user are being targeted by hackers. Calling an opensource os so widely used among top universities, businesses & scientific organizations 'obscure', compared to a commercial closed source os with a past of failure, is ... well plain stupid.

This thread is so ironic.

The guy who showed us how to setup a dodgy PC version of the mobile authenticator 'forgets' to add it to his second account then proceeds to blame MMO-Champion in a rather vague post and then proceeds to tell us how cool he is for knowing some GM's.

You better go write us up a huge guide on how to use common sense. Please.

At least your not writing huge threads about how much uni homework you have anymore or exactly how many pages each project is.

I hope these forums get back to being interesting and fun once Cataclysm hits because Shodokan the Clown is getting a bit old. :/
