...universities are now entering into a cold war situation as a race to be the picked univ by the FBI.
Some have launched special schemes, for example Boston U. is now giving away 2000 marks extra credit to anybody who can hack into FBI and select their univ by computer.
Other Univs are taking aggressive measures and crashing each others Networks with mutated CIHs etc.; so that FBI picks the one with a functional lab.

Pretty decent thing to do.
At least now the kids in the universities will stop hacking and do some constructive work.
Hope they Don't take this stuff the other way round though... A cool Site to see. Is entry Free.
Grow up, graymalkin, grow up. Any sane guy who uses winbloze software will agree with what I've said. If they all felt like you, they'd write something, but less childish that your obtuse comments. Still, I'll give you an example. Check IE5.0Beta. I wouldnt believe that they did it from scratch. And any thing so Huge would definitely end up as cluttercode, with all the MS customs that we read about in articles. Like you dont see no GIF files or JPEGs for the icons. nor any ico or any hidden files. then where are they? inside the DLLs and EXEs. Dont tell me that is nice. It's the easiest way to get slapped in the face. PS. Grow up.
Windows was always built in an overbulky code environment with 18 to 20 errors per 1000 lines of code.It was never built to be sleek; just piles of code patched one on top of the other by gazzilions of Microsoft Programmers, and covered up and gift wrapped by a decent user interface. An open Project, like say Linux, strives every second to be optimal; which Windows is not. Each "technology" that these MS guys have come up with is nothing but a method to patch up the earlier mistakes. An open project will from the ground up, not have these mistakes, so Half the things will just not fall in place. Take for example ActiveX (not a very good example, but still.) is used for those previews in Windows Explorer. Why? Because Explorer just isnt Flexible enough to add on a previewer binary!! So when developers have a good version of Explorer, ActiveX wont be used. So will many other Proprietary MS stuff. And so windows wont be windows. It'll end up being an X11.

It' HUGE man, REALLY HUGE. It's like making a scale model of an aluminium foil Boeing 747!!! (we could call it Boing 747, actually)
