Who pays for this blog? I receive no fees, considerations, etc. etc. for the posts on this blog nor do I have any plans to accept any. My salary is paid by Canwest Global Communications Corp. I work for that company as the Ottawa-based National Affairs Correspondent for Canwest News Service. The blog publishing platform used here is called Blogware and it's developed by Tucows Inc. of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. My use of Blogware should not be taken as an endorsement of that company. Like all Blogware users, I do not pay any fees for the use of this service. I participate in program. Google pays me some money and, for that, I give Google some space on this site to display ads. Google sells those ads and Google, not me, decides what advertising content you are seeing. I do not filter these ads and take no responsibility for them. Readers should not assume I endorse any of the products or services advertised here. If you think other disclosures are appropriate in this space, I'd like to hear from you. All of my contact details are always at www.davidakin.com You can read more about this section |
Re: Do we need a new Internet? Or just new users?

Wow the amount of brainwashing is amazing. Microsoft is directly responsible for most malicious activity on the internet. The argument that most machines are windows and therefore a target is a farce. The security issues are inherent to the windows model and no amount of patching will ever make that better.
Yes running your servers (and my desktop for that matter) on OpenBSD is a far better idea security wise.
The internet isn't broken; the users and admins are. If it wasn't for windows and crap like youtube (I am talking to you flash/silverlight) the security circus wouldn't exist in its present form. If you disagree with this you are probably a happy windows user/admin and not dealing with actual networking or low level development.
And to the guy/gal who is all surprised that there are people that are lying on the internet to kids: that is a parenting issue, not an internet issue.
I wrote a comment to the NYT guy before I ran across this article and I had pretty similar comments.
Keep your drivers license, I'll stick with the fine working internet,
Marco, an actual developer of software that does not suck.
