Food, Wine, and Linux may seem like a strange combination, but combining three passions can be a wonderful thing. I'm Marcel Gagné. Those of you who read Cooking with Linux, the multi-award-winning column that appeared monthly in Linux Journal magazine for 10 years, likely agree. With the help of my faithful waiter, François, Restaurant Chez Marcel serves up the finest in Linux and open source software paired with exceptional wines.
In that same spirit, this site features great Linux and Open Source software, ongoing wine tasting reports, recipes, and the occasional restaurant review. If you came here looking to read past Cooking with Linux columns, you'll find newer releases on the front page, a comprehensive list here and under the "CWL, The Column" menu link to the left. A votre santé! Bon appétit!
Bad Users! Bad!
I knew it all along. "Microsoft has claimed user "complacency" is to blame for malware infections, and denied that its Vista operating system is less secure than Windows 2000," quotes an article on ZDNet (for the full article, click here). It's not that Microsoft's operating system, browser, email package, word processor, etc, etc, etc, are to blame. After all, the users should know better. They are the ones responsible for Windows' problems. That amazing claim is Microsoft's response to a study that shows Windows Vista, the new operating system from the Redmond monopoly, is actually less secure than the now ancient Windows 2000.
Sad days indeed. And Microsoft would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for those darn users and their complacency!
Pity poor Microsoft. I know I do.
