The Bank, the Linux User and the 9-Month Call for Help
,----[ Quote ]
| Garrett Heaton has been struggling for months
| to get his bank to open up its deposit@home
| feature to Linux and Unix. As he and a few
| other savvy users have figured out, there's no
| real technical barrier. All Linux users have
| to do is pretend to be a Mac. For nine months,
| the bank has been declining Heaton's
| persistent, polite and helpful requests --
| and, amazingly, he is still a very loyal
| customer.
|
| [...]
|
| The bank does not currently support Linux for
| its Deposit@Home service, company spokesperson
| Lisa Carr confirmed, though she added that
| "we're always considering ways to expand the
| services we offer to additional platforms."

Why You Donât Need Anti-Virus Software For Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| You donât need anti-virus for Linux. Others in
| here will do a better job at explaining why
| this is, but in short, the OS has a big
| advantage here due to it being open source.
| The operating system is a product of crowd-
| sourcing, much in the same way as Wikipedia
| has been since it first showed up several
| years ago. And much like the highly-moderated
| articles of Wikipedia that require membership
| and has an approval process for changes made
| to locked articles, so to is a strict
| moderation that goes on with the source code
| for Linux before itâs allowed to become part
| of the official distribution. Everybody is out
| to identify possible flaws or weaknesses or
| bugs in the source code and itâs much easier
| for any single person to make a contribution
| because the OS and much of the software that
| runs on it is open-source.
