Once you start down that route then your hypothetical ideas go three places: people who do not care, government investigative agencies, and actual terrorist groups.
The people who don't really care are probably the people with which you discuss these things.
The government investigative agencies, depending upon the quality of your hypothetical ideas, may begin to monitor or make inquiries about you. Many people are not comfortable with vague gray fuzzy inquiries from vague gray fuzzy characters. Look for the conditions in your workplace and the public places which you frequent to become more and more odd, discomforting, or passively hostile. Additionally, once investigative agencies begin to take notice of you because of your hypothetical musings you may find that the number of speeding tickets you receive goes up, or applications/resumes for employment are ignored or denied with vague and meaningless responses, or applications for apartment or condo rentals are similarly ignored or denied with vague and meaningless responses. Consider that paranoia does not begin with full light of black helicopters and an entourage or marked police cars. It begins with vague fuzzy gray inquiries made to your HR department, your bank manager, your insurance company, the local police department, your ISPs cybercrime response department, etc. Those things add up to create a negative stress in your life.
If actual terrorist groups take notice of your musings then they might adapt your ideas and act on them. If you have been covertly monitored, as above, you may become the object of deeper and harsher scrutiny.
Unless you are deliberately and specifically sanctioned by the government and on someone's official payroll then being brilliant, creative, and novel is not welcome in today's society of thought police and preemptive military invasion. Iraq had some things that US leaders were uncomfortable with, therefore they deserve to be invaded. A particular citizen has ideas or musings which the local chamber of commerce members are uncomfortable with, therefore they deserve to lose their job, their home, and be forced to leave town.
It all follows along perfectly from having a big brother government with unlimited financial resource and unchecked under-the-table influence.
There are multiplatform viruses but not in the way that is immediately obvious. Any particular virus would be much too large if it included all of the code necessary to first determine which set of appropriate function calls are available, where they are located, and then behave accordingly.
So fork it.
The conceptual function of a virus has expanded. The same dirty webmaster who is using IE exploits to turn visitors into part-time as needed distributed computing zombies is also using firefox/iceweasel/moz exploits, and opera exploits, and maybe even lynx/links and whatever other exploits. It is much easier for that sort of determination and selection to be made from the server side than in the actual viral packet itself.
The same dirty webmaster who is infecting visitors to become part-time as needed distributed computing zombies is sharing his database with his associate webmasters. Those webmasters likely have associates who work in ISPs with varying levels of access to information. Just imagine the database of online browsing habits linked with personal information that a group of webmasters... say Slashdot, Gmail, SF.net, and MSN... could compile, completely legally within EULA terms.
Identity theft isn't just for the CIA and some maladjusted kid living in mom's basement. It's part of the corporate profit margin.
So yes. The overall function of the system of computer exploitation has long been free of platform dependency. Now add in java.
The difference between "want" and "need" inspires people to demonstrate behavior of "get" and "take". Those are irrational decisions and, over the course of a lifetime, lead to death through accumulated damage to something we could define as faith.
The way to preserve faith, and avoid death, is by practicing faith. Have the patience to receive and be free of the weaknesses which cause action based upon the desire to get or to take.
Consider that you are a fish living in a stocked pond. 99.99999% of everything is bait.
There is a certain amount of data manipulation and exploitation of ignorance which goes into people's perception of life expectancy. Conventional wisdom is that modern medicine has extended the span of our lives significantly and that there should be no question that the billions and trillions of dollars funnelled to the medical industry through the stock market and the government tax and dole system is justified.
Two thousand and five hundred years ago the sorrowful and melancholic writers of that scripture could acknowledge that the general span of years was seventy or eighty. Would the author have written seventy or eighty if it were really thirty or fifty, or ninety or one hundred?
In light of that fact (that those words were indeed written that long ago and there is no reason to believe the author was mis-stating the span of years)... say again how the expenditure of modern medicine has really and truly done anything for that taxpaying and consumer investment base.
What you believe about the medical industry is hype and advertising.
I wonder, then, what happened between five hundred years B.C. and 1900 AD which caused the life expectancy to cave in by half...
If it is to be useful as a biomedical device then perhaps they should demonstrate that it is dissolved and resorbed in vivo.
Dissolvable in situ is ambiguous. We are able to create an in situ environment which will dissolve almost anything. eg. aqua regia.
in vivo is used to indicate within the biological system. in situ only indicates within the solution phase.
The most effective candidates are still those based upon hydroxyapatite (HA) and similar ceramic materials. HA is the natural matrix secreted by osteoblasts. Limitations are related to porosity and the ability of the osteoblasts to move through and remodel the biomedical implant as they would natural bone structure.
I happen to be Shemite. Big difference. You probably do not know what you are talking about.
Why blame it all on the Jews? You're forgetting Benjaminites, Zebulunites, Ephraimites, Mannassehites, Simeonites, Levites (those are usually the holier-than-thou types), Reubenites, Gadites, Asherites, Danites, Napthalites, and Gadites.
Heck, most of the Israelites don't even know what they're talking about. They're so hung up on Moses they forget that Abraham was Hebrew.
Real-time keyloggers were first discovered in the wild last year
The above statement is: 1. True 2. Not true 3. Funny 4. Absurd 5. F*ckin' hilarious
Nobody really wants to face uncomfortable facts so we write stories blaming it all on some hackers in some other part of the world. A good hacker is the fellow who says,"I see how that could be done but I, myself, have no interest in figuring out how to do it because I have more important things to work on and I wouldn't do something like that." An evil hacker is the guy who says,"I see how that could be done and I am going to devote time and effort to figuring out how to do it for my own fun and profit." Face reality. Both of those guys have been around for over a generation now and they are not going away. Those guys, both the good guy and the bad guy, are employed by governments (including ours), employers (including yours), and ISPs (everyones).
Do not allow yourself any illusion about computer security. Computers in today's world are blocks of swiss cheese. You may not know the exploits, nobody in your immediate circle of friends knows the exploits, but they are there and have been there for at least thirty years. That is thirty years' worth of evil hackers who have created systems of exploiting the unknowing userbase. How large does any useful or profitable business segment become after thirty years? Would the government have an interest in keyloggers--they have telephone filtering, so why not? Would your employer have an interest in keyloggers? Would your college or university have an interest in keyloggers? If only for your own sanity you should start allowing yourself at least a tiny morsel of honesty.
I do not know how to properly convey this to the general population (or the mods) but sticking your head in the sand is not going to improve the situation.
Is there a solution? Yes, but you will not like it.
A good portion of the solution begins with buying a good dinner for me and ensuring that I have a place to sleep at night more comfortable than concrete in the open breeze.
Due to San Diego's recent water treatment discussion I began to think more about the natural ecosystem involved. Sea worms do exist but often at extraordinary depth and habitate inside of tubes which they build or secrete. They are a worm accustomed to and evolved within a highly saline environment. Earthworms, freshwater worms, do not have this limitation of being localized to a tube.
So what if the real problem that we have in San Diego, with the smell emanating from that section of the ocean, is all of the sewage that has been pumped there has eventually realized a colony of worms which resemble earthworms--no tubes--and have adapted to live in that saline environment. Imagine if someone were to take a camera and a light there and find it nothing but a churning mass of billions of swarming worms from the sewage outlet? The putrid excrement from those earthworms that have adapted to live in the sewage on the bottom of the ocean floor is fouling the water, buiding up to maximum concentration in the water, and off-gassing from the surface.

The same is true of hardware. The manpage is much more difficult to come by for audio, video, and network cards.

You obviously do not have any siblings, and the siblings which you do not have obviously do not have access to the global network.
Family members are the most notorious for saying,"Uhhhh... we did not do that. But it was damn funny."
That is a whole new perspective on Osama.
The thought of the people that I know wearing evil maid costumes for Halloween is equally entertaining.

You are on crack. PCs with MS, OS2, Novell, or NeXT could not compete with RCA audio ports.
