BABY(1)                  USER COMMANDS                    BABY(1)
NAME
     BABY - create new process from two parent processes
SYNOPSIS
     BABY sex [ name ]
SYSTEM V SYNOPSIS
     /usr/5bin/BABY [ -sex ] [ -name ]
AVAILABILITY
     The System V version of this command is available with the Sys-
     tem  V  software  installation  option.  Refer to Installing
     SunOS 4.1 for information on how to install and invoke BABY.
DESCRIPTION
     BABY is initiated when one parent process polls another server
     process through a socket connection (BSD) or through pipes in the
     system V implementation. BABY runs at a low priority for approximately


     40 weeks then terminates with heavy system load. Most systems require
     constant monitoring when BABY reaches it's final stages of execution.
     Older implentations of BABY required that the initiating
     process not be present at the time of completion; in these versions
     the initiating process is awakened and notified of the results upon
     completion. Modern versions allow both parent processes to be active
     during the final stages of BABY.

OPTIONS
     -sex
          option indicating type of process created.
     -name
          process identification to be attached to the new process.
RESULT
     Successful execution of the BABY(1) results in new process
     being created and named. Parent processes then typically
     broadcast messages to all other processes informing them of their
     new status in the system.
BUGS
     The SLEEP command may not work on either parent processes for some
     time afterward, as new BABY processes constantly send interrupts
     which must be handled by one or more parent.
     BABY processes upon being created may frequently dump
     in /tmp requiring /tmp to be cleaned out frequently by one
     of the parent processes.
     The original AT&T version was provided without instuctions
     regarding the created process; this remains in current implementations.

The difference between web surfing with IE and Firefox is the difference between body armor and a trendy cotton vest

 

We've all heard the stories. Stories about innocently searching the internet with Internet Explorer when, all of a sudden, all the alarms are going off with your virus scanner. Programs are installing themselves. Warnings about Smitfraud-C, SpyAxe, and Vcodec are popping up on your screen.

And some of us have had firsthand experience. Firsthand experience that has led us away from IE and to other browsers like Firefox.

And why is that? Well, virus writers are generally going to be trying to get the most bang for their buck, ,just like everyone else. That's why. And IE currently provides them with that. It still has the largest market share, likely due in large part that it comes preinstalled on most computers.

But just because it's preinstalled doesn't mean you have to use it and expose yourself to all the spyware and virii targetted to it. You can do what an ever growing portion of users out there are doing. You can switch to
