there was a man in front of him riding a horse, he began to
feel inadequate and jealous.Then he looked behind him and
saw a man dragging a cart by his own labour.
When he noticed how hard the man behind him was working
and how much he was sweating,he began to feel better about
himself and his mule..
good luck..

Let me guess : OS/2 ? Solaris ? BeOS ? Am I getting warm ?astroboy said:There is only one OS that has thru the years been able to demonstrate a consistently high security rating and you ain’t going to find it on your average desktop, well you might, but that’s my domain and it ain’t for the masses and you could do stuff all with it anyway, unless you were in my game which is unlikely and it isn’t going to give you any typical desktops apps that you would find useful.
astroboy said:Thommo,
Sorry but your pressumtions speak volumes in this regard, comments follow;
Bill Gates, I’m sure you are referring to Microsoft, hires some of the best and brightest on the planet as far as programmers go. Ok, there may be other programmers out there who may be brighter or ‘better’ in their respective fields. However be aware, in a world where Microsoft dominates the desktop these others, numbers wise, are the minority, believe me I’m one of them.
Security issues are something else again, Microsoft has any number of flaws, and they are exploited simply due to the popularity and widespread exposure of the OS. Are other desktop OS less vulnerable or are they simply less popular and thus represent a minority, which as itself represents no more or less security, how many people realistically run Linux? And in all honestly it is only a matter of time, Run an Apple, well ok maybe you want to do some graphics stuff and today that edge is already losing ground.

I agree that a Corp the size of Micro$oft can afford to hire good legal bodies, so do IBM, Sun, HP, etc etc. I don’t understand the point you were making with that comment.
Dick Smith, on the other hand can hardly be compared to a Corp like Microsoft, or any of the others I mentioned. Although he maybe well intentioned, his ventures of late have been rather less than successful, sorry but true, I agree his heart may be in the right place, however that does not necessarily equate to a successful business.
I have no idea what you are talking about in the last paragraph, the rest of the above sounds like assasination by magazine article, and ill informed articles at that.

On the topic of greed, I'd like to quote my father in saying :
"God helps those who help themselves"

****************************************************always_learning said:Someone close to me said I was greedy which honestly hurt me a little, I think that I am trying to better myself and my families life thru legitmate and reasonable steps. When Packer or Buffert buys a company nobody few call them greedy for doing so even if they are already loaded.
What does the forum think when does legitmate reasonble steps to improving your personal circumstances cross the line and become greedy?
TheBacon said:To me greed is separate from desire, ambition and success.
It is good to have ambition and desires, to work hard at them and succeed.
It is bad to attain your success by false means, deception, theft etc. It is also bad to hoarde it up for selfish reasons, neglecting family, friends, the poor and disadvantaged.
Greed is a word more aligned to the morals and character of an individual than their success or otherwise. I want a lot of things in my life, but not to the exclusion or detrement of others, therefore I consider myself ambitious, not greedy.
Cheers
