  1. Science fiction recommendation: Microsoft Security by joelparker · · Score: 5, Funny
    And kids, in this corner of the museum,
    we have a Microsoft Security Whitepaper.
    This is 21st century science fiction at its finest!

    On your way out, board the flying car on the left.

    Cheers, Joel

    The guy should do something worthwhile with his bucks

    Like maybe donate money to save forests? or to "sustain" the Seti Project? and severl other things.

    I'm not a big Paul Allen fan, but hell, he's rich, he's allready been a bit of philanthropy - let him build a Sci-Fi shrine if he wants to

    Seeing as people don't seem interested in posting links to archive.nytimes.com, you can always fix the reg. required problem using your hosts file.

    Simply add:
    199.239.136.212 www.nytimes.com
    199.239.136.212 nytimes.com

    The only negative side effect is that the front page no longer works. You can always fix that by also adding:
    199.239.136.245 frontpage.nytimes.com
