Security in computers are there forever

No matter how tight the security of software is, vulnerabilities will be found to be exploited. Because the software is made by humans and humans make mistake, something will always be left to be exploited. It just takes enough will and dedication.

So sometimes I think the reason why Windows had more viruses than like Macs or how IE had more problems than Firefox other than shitty coding is because every hacker finds its a prime target because everyone uses it.

If lets say everyone used Linux and Firefox, I am pretty sure there might loads of virus and exploits occuring on them too (though Im sure not as much as Microsft's products).

seriously

somtimes i stay su - in a vc for some time during active maintenance

but always use a user account for anything that requires x or any sort of internet connectivity.. downloading/verifying patches for maintenance, bullshitting on irc etc

people idling their cool leenux desktops with the cool transparencies as root is first pointless and second retarded
