Hearing the perils and acheivements of your family reminds me of how we have evolved but also makes me sad that we are now OLD. Please keep in touch and I am sure our paths will cross again. Lisa,

It was so much reading about your families past year! I know that this upcoming year will only be better! Always keep us (your worshippers!) informed, it's fun to read about my friend's lives. Be happy and thank you for sharing, that was really cool! Love, La Donna Thank you so much for your annual update! It was so much reading about your families past year!

Get Linux. by Jason http://www.murphybytes.com/2010/11/10/sick-of-virii-get-linux/#comment-217 Jason Fri, 03 Dec 2010 03:11:49 +0000 http://www.murphybytes.com/?p=171#comment-217 So which distro do you prefer? I've tried Fedora and found the GUI a little inconvenient. I ended up using the command line most of the time but that was for development. So which distro do you prefer?

Your comment ended up in my span queue. One thing you said I agree with is that Windows makes a bigger target and is targeted by more virus writers because if it. I really don't know if one is intrinsically more secure than the other. I disagree in part with the higher learning curve bit. I think for developers that is true because MSFT makes it extremely easy to write code with Visual Studio however for end users I don't think there is much difference. It's all what you're used to and Linux is free which gives it an automatic advantage over things that aren't. Yeah, you get it pre installed on a lot of systems but you are still paying for it.

Get Linux. by Tim Schmidt http://www.murphybytes.com/2010/11/10/sick-of-virii-get-linux/#comment-210 Tim Schmidt Thu, 11 Nov 2010 05:45:18 +0000 http://www.murphybytes.com/?p=171#comment-210 Dur. I really expect more from you, Murphy. Your argument is tantamount to saying if you don't want to get sick, just never leave your house. Or, if you don't want to get sick, just move to a different country. I'm sure they don't have diseases there. First off, vulnerabilities can be found in ANY software, including Linux. The reason why most virii target Windows is simple, it runs on 90% of desktops. Why would I waste my time writing a virus that targets Linux? So it can run rampant through that whopping 1.43% of desktops? No thanks. And having said that, your statement is illogical. If everyone started using Linux, virii would target that. Besides, most virii are propogated because the average computer user isn't really all that knowledgeable about computers so they run things that they shouldn't. That's going to happen regardless of the operating system. Your own post even proves this! I've used computers since I was 5 years old. Even though I run Windows (gasp!), I never run antivirus software and I have yet to be infected with a virus. I also won't use Linux for the foreseeable future. It's not that I can't, I pride myself on my ability to pick up new technologies quickly. I just simply don't like it. It feels cheap, it's not very polished and, like it or not, it absolutely does have a significantly higher learning curve than other OSes.
