quote:Windows updates are now all but impossible on dialup, and these are critical to the security of one's machine and to the 'net at large.
3 things wrong with that statement: 1) Smart businesses ditched Windows on the 'net long ago. 2) If you really care about security you don't use Windows. You use the better alternatives (Linux, Mac) 3) If you're on Dial-up, even if your PC is a zombie bot, you're not doing much work at all to "crash the net"
