thparker writes "As part of the Media Center release discussed previously, Bill Gates had an interview with USA Today. Best quote: 'Q: Speaking of security, Internet Explorer has had well-publicized holes... Gates: Understand those are cases where you are downloading third-party software.'

    Hey, just so you know, 'viri' is the incorrect word in this context. I know it's odd, but the English language is full of these exceptions. The correct plural of 'virus' is 'viruses'.

    See here for more info (like what the meaning of the word 'viri' is).

    I'll be in Sydney (airport) on Monday (but only for an hour or so before I fly on to Canberra). Are there good pubs in Canberra?

    Are there any good LUGs in Canberra or Wollongong? What should a visitor from the US see while visiting Australia (assuming one is also going to do research, collaborate, etc.)?

    What do you expect in an overwhelmingly Christian country when the basic tenet of the religion is faith in the face of zero evidence?
