Linfux is a Zero Day bug in itself!

Just wait until the hackers, crackers and spammers think that enough
people
are using Linfux to make it worth their while to start attacking it -

You have NO idea about Linux have you - the very way it's written
precludes the eight-year-olds who write viruses for Windows. 56% of
web servers use Linux - the very same Linux as is used on desktops.
We don't see THEM being attacked by viruses and hackers do we?

And these servers have never been cracked? Think again.


Uhhh NOTHING like Windows servers......idiot.

That is not the point gordo. alias, the lying linturd troll wants us to

That is nothing but a ****ing lie from our most resourceful liar.

It's amazing the reactions when you post NEWS in a NEWSgroup. All kinds
of cockroaches swarm out of the woodwork, headed up by Frank the Wank.

It's amazing you've been degraded to posting twice to your own post.
You get your n00b ass whooped, so like a Lintard resort to holding a
conversation with yourself.
Nice.
Funny.
Must make your balls scrunch up to see how popular Windows
is...regardless of what some dumbass socialist thinks.

USA USA USA

Posted from a 60" 1080p LCD, so we can all laugh.
Looks nice in Windows, tried in Fedora...Blah...gawd linux sucks.
Guess no linux developers have access to HDTV to test that BS they
release.

They really hate it when they are reminded how vulnerable Windows is. It
makes the little cockroaches lie and post all kinds of weird ****. It's
quite amusing to watch them scatter all over the place screaming out
their denials.

No one has said that Linux is bulletproof or cannot be compromised but,
compared to Windows, it *is* bulletproof. Now one of the cockroaches
will miss the word "compared" and claim I think that it's impossible to
compromise Linux.

I have never said that. Quite the contrary, I admit it is possible to
compromise Linux. What I *have* said is that COMPARED to Windows, Linux
is bulletproof.

So, Mr. Windows, what do you recommend Windows users do to mitigate the
threats in the NEWS about WINDOWS that I posted in this WINDOWS NEWS
group? Are ya gonna merely -- and quite lamely -- diss Linux and hope
the fact that Windows has a bug that affects all the popular programs
people use in Windows just goes away? Well, Mr. Oops, Mr. LOL, Mr. Sheep

you only post this **** so that you can then post your ..."another

hatred for MS.

It's
quite amusing to watch them scatter all over the place screaming out

Have you noticed that no one in here has ever been infected by any of
the malware/virus that you post about?
Oops!

Not compared to Windows 7, you lying POS.
Oops!

No one in here thinks you're capable of clear, logical, intelligent
thinking!
Oops!

Oh and you are the cockroach in here!

Sorry, chum, but what you posted is the lie. I have *always* used the

Head/sand. That won't do any good as the vulnerabilities have not been
patched. *No* security suite can prevent it.

Any questions, sheep-****er?

No, asking you a question is like trying to teach a fish to ride a bicycle.

No? Figures...now go **** babba, your male sheep lover...you pile of

No, just posting the complete news story for those who are concerned
about keeping their Windows computers safe. You, OTOH, are obsessed with

That's all you got? LOL! One possible threat that's been patched,
requires user input and wasn't/isn't in the repositories. From your
article:

"The difference is that the way the Linux OS is written makes it harder
to exploit a vulnerability, and that is because its open source
vulnerabilities are fixed in hours rather than months."

When I install Linux for someone, I tell them to only install software
from the repositories. Any OS can be ****ed up by a fool. Windows,
OTOH,
has drive by malware and a Windows machine can be infected without user
input. IOW, Linux is *bulletproof* compared to Windows. Note I wrote
"compared". No OS is completely bulletproof.


Just one example. How much malware specifically written for Windows with
billions of users against those specifically written for Linux, witch
has less than 1% of the market? It doesn't need to be bulletproof does
it, because no-one's bothered!!

You're repeating yourself. Bad sign, what with the same typo.

No, you are the one who keeps repeating himself. You keep posting the
same **** and what do you think or want to happen? Do you actually think
that everyone in here will suddenly switch to that POS toy os you're so
in love with? Think again...cause it ain't gonna happen. And if Windows
7 is so venerable to being infected, then explain why none of us in here
are infected nor have we ever been infected.
Well...care to address those real questions?
BTW, have you ever noticed how everyone in here, other than a few of
your butt-buddies, hate your ****ing lying, linturd guts?
Oops!

Once again Frank the Wank reveals that he didn't read the article about
the vulnerabilities that have NOT been patched and only focused on Linux.

Only while there are comparatively so few users of Linfux.



There are no users of "Linfux" or is that your immature way of referring
to Linux? There are 5 billion devices connected to the Internet which
would mean there are 50 million Linux installs. Did you fail math, flippo?
