| ender_2600 | "As a former desktop support engineer, I can tell you that supporting full-blown desktops is not fun. Nor is it fulfilling. It.s a losing battle against malware, poor software, viruses and the ever-tinkering user." | Sep 16 18:54 |
| ender_2600 | See, an idiot | Sep 16 18:54 |
| ender_2600 | Not hard to lock down a workstation | Sep 16 18:54 |
| ender_2600 | "And, the more complex something is, the easier it is to destroy via viruses, inadvertent actions and your neighbor the computer .expert.s. expertise." | Sep 16 18:55 |
| ender_2600 | starting a sentence with 'And' ? | Sep 16 18:55 |

| schestowitz | Haven't seen him since 2008 | Sep 16 19:08 |
| ender_2600 | I guess if you want to write for zdnet you have to be an idiot. | Sep 16 19:27 |
| schestowitz | no | Sep 16 19:38 |
| schestowitz | you just need to get traffic | Sep 16 19:38 |
| schestowitz | they hired Microsoft Emil recently | Sep 16 19:38 |
| schestowitz | Assigned him to facebook topic | Sep 16 19:38 |
| schestowitz | odd.. | Sep 16 19:38 |
| schestowitz | BTW | Sep 16 19:38 |
| schestowitz | As Blankenhorn said it: | Sep 16 19:38 |
| schestowitz | They pay based on views and comments | Sep 16 19:39 |
| schestowitz | So if they fail to get attention, no matter the ACCURACY of the reporting, they're out | Sep 16 19:39 |
| schestowitz | That, IMHO, is a guarantee for inaccurate reporting | Sep 16 19:39 |
| schestowitz | Having their paycheck depend on drawing a crowd, e.g. by provocation | Sep 16 19:39 |
| ender_2600 | Ken also writes saucey replies | Sep 16 19:46 |
| ender_2600 | "Sorry about that. Actually, you can't prevent people from getting malware and viruses or tinkering. You know why? Because they're people and they break things. And, there's nothing wrong with starting a sentence with 'and' or any other word. And, who really cares if spelled OS/2 wrong? Everyone knows what it is. And, I've actually used it. A lot of people mispronounce Linux and I don't bother correcting them. Do you | Sep 16 19:57 |
| qu1j0t3 | hha | Sep 16 19:58 |
| ender_2600 | mispronounce vs spelling | Sep 16 19:59 |
| ender_2600 | different! | Sep 16 19:59 |
| ender_2600 | then he said | Sep 16 19:59 |
| ender_2600 | "People who get really upset by things like this need more to do with their time. A job perhaps would fill the void. | Sep 16 19:59 |
| ender_2600 | You could always pitch your own articles if you don't like mine. ;-)" | Sep 16 20:00 |
| ender_2600 | I replied: | Sep 16 20:00 |
| ender_2600 | I guess you've never heard of: | Sep 16 20:00 |
| ender_2600 | 1) Group Policy and Active Directory | Sep 16 20:00 |
| ender_2600 | 2) The ability to block all executables from running if they are not | Sep 16 20:00 |
| ender_2600 | 3) IDS Software can also do #2 | Sep 16 20:00 |
| ender_2600 | in a whitelist, which can be signed with a certificate or a hash. | Sep 16 20:00 |
| ender_2600 | Real pro there. I do have a job and my users can't tinker or install | Sep 16 20:01 |
| ender_2600 | things which get them infected. We also have automated malware scans | Sep 16 20:01 |
| ender_2600 | *just in case* something exploits Flash. I'm even referring to | Sep 16 20:01 |
| ender_2600 | Windows! | Sep 16 20:01 |
| ender_2600 | Linux can be locked down even harder. SELinux, AppArmour, preventing | Sep 16 20:01 |
| ender_2600 | executable programs from running in the user's /home directory. | Sep 16 20:01 |
| ender_2600 | OS/2 is a product name (I've used it too). How about I call you Ken | Sep 16 20:01 |
| ender_2600 | Idiot, everyone will know whom I'm referring to (the idiot who thinks | Sep 16 20:01 |

| schestowitz | Why does NGINX need PR agents? | Sep 16 20:30 |
| ender_2600 | they be open source | Sep 16 20:35 |
| ender_2600 | hehe ken admits it | Sep 16 20:39 |
| ender_2600 | "And, as a writer, it's my job to be provocative. If everyone just wrote crap that echoed everyone else's opinion, there'd be no reason to read." | Sep 16 20:39 |
| ender_2600 | "Diplomacy comes with age and wisdom. But, if it's any consolation at all, I am an asshole. So, at least on that point you were spot on. ;-)" | Sep 16 20:39 |
| MinceR | so he's unable to disagree without being provocative? | Sep 16 20:41 |
| qu1j0t3 | right | Sep 16 20:42 |
| qu1j0t3 | :-X | Sep 16 20:42 |
| ender_2600 | I think this means that he purposely writes stuff to anger people because it increases his hits or something | Sep 16 20:45 |

| schestowitz | yes | Sep 16 20:51 |
| schestowitz | The Reg does htis wildly | Sep 16 20:51 |
| schestowitz | and then I'd ask the writers | Sep 16 20:51 |
| schestowitz | Who shyly try to blame their boss | Sep 16 20:51 |
| schestowitz | the editor | Sep 16 20:51 |
| schestowitz | My editor in datamation did this too, changing all the headlines, just asking for permission | Sep 16 20:51 |
| ender_2600 | important to note I did send Ken a list of workloads | Sep 16 21:06 |
| ender_2600 | 3d games can't be virtualized, and stuff that uses more than one cpu is insanely slow | Sep 16 21:06 |
| ender_2600 | can't as in, too slow if you do get it working | Sep 16 21:06 |
| ender_2600 | i'm waiting for the day where I can dump windows and virtualize it instead for my games | Sep 16 21:07 |
