Wait until finder crashes... only way out then is to restart.
Networking tends to be the culprit, especially when talking to windows networks. OSX networking is lightyears behind even Linux unfortunately (it's actually samba, so should be identical, but they've crippled it/fubared it somehow).
Without HDMI you (allegedly) won't be able to view DRM protected WMV files under Vista. This might not matter to you, but I bet it does to those who've just shelled out for the bleeding edge video card which is supposed to support it.
Oh and it *is* a true virus. It replicates in exactly the same way as eg. an outlook virus.
Apple haven't got a fix out yet but I guess they will soon (WTF is system software doing loading libraries from the home directory anyway? There's a *reason* why/usr/lib is only writable by root..)
From the virus summary:
"Leap.A installs a bundle to '~/InputManagers/apphook' that hooks certain iChat functions. When any of the user's buddies change their status, the worm initiates a file transfer and sends a copy of ' 'latestpics.tgz'. The file transfer is not visible to the user as the worm hides the transfer status information."
"The worm enumerates all applications on the computer that were used during the last month. Leap.A replaces the main executable of those applications with itself and saves the original file to a resource fork with the same filename. When the application is opened the worm activates first, then it runs the original application from the resource fork."
Did you read the summary? It puts itself as a hook DLL in the users home directory and ichat blindly loads it without checking. No root password needed.
That's true - once you get over a certain dialup usage broadband is cheaper.
Here you can get cheap deals for £15/month. Dialup will cost that at ~25 hours usage a month - and it'll be slower, and it ties up your voice line (massive problem in families, believe me). If you only go online for an hour a day Broadband is cheaper... for most people (especially those with teenagers etc.) it's *way* cheaper.
If you read their site you 'redistribute' if you give your software to someone else and they download it to use with your software. Even though you never touched GPL software you are in breach of the mysql license. This is why many companies are ditching mysql and moving to alternatives.
Oh and don't start with the 'companies should buy a license' crap - at $500 *per client* it's considerably more expensive than pretty much all the alternatives, except maybe oracle (and maybe not even then).
Pure heroin isn't particularly damaging... you sometimes hear of doctors who have been on it for years and nobody noticed.
Of course the stuff most addicts take is far from pure... contains all sorts of crap that then gets injected straight into the bloodstream causing massive health problems and (ulimately) early death.
Why is it enabled by default? Why is the option to *disable* it hidden in an advanced configuraiton screen that most users don't even know exists?
The default should be to work correctly, not be a memory eating resource hog. At the moment it just keeps growing until it has eaten all your system memory and you have to kill it. That's a bug, no matter what they try to tell you.
You use double-pointers rather than handles. No need to notify anyone.
I used to use this years ago on machines like the archimedes that had little memory. In a modern paged system it's a nearly useless technique - the most you'll lose is a single page even if there are large 'gaps' in the virtual address space.
It was one of the completely irrelevant things I had to learn to get a degree. Along with how punched cards and paper tapes worked. And databases that wrote directly to sectors on the hard disk.

Mysql license is $300 per client.
:P
If you have more than 15 users using your database Oracle is cheaper

I hope it's a damned small sphere.
Otherwise the surface will get to insane speeds..
I just typed 'gattaca' into it, and it started doing non-complaining type things.
No idea what though... I'm a geek not a chemist.
It's an incentive to create *a* winner.
Put a sane limit on it and you get an incentive to create *lots* of winners.

..which are the same thing. DLL is short for dynamic link library, as is dylib. DLL is easier to type though.

But then the US is quite a way behind anyway.. it's even behind *estonia* FFS, coming 19th out of 20 countries for broadband penetration (http://www.websiteoptimization.com/bw/0601/top-2
Interesting link... they mention that OSX now has a real virus! Security hole in ichat apparently.
Gravity is a myth. The earth sucks.
CD Resale to be made illegal in 5..4..3..2..1..
It's not much of an offence. 3 years in jail.
Compare to 10+ for being found with kiddie porn. If I was $BADGUY I *know* which option I'd go for.
Apparently TPM has a self destruct code if it thinks it's being tampered with (guess what the first vista virus will do...)
All $PORN_DEALER has to do is had a program that triggers that and he's safe - the authorities will *never* find out what he had.
Actually there by definition there is only one nerve in the brain the optic nerve
I could of swarn I could hear things too... but that would require an auditory nerve, which I'm now informed doesn't exist. I must have imagined it...
(Seriously... there are actually a dozen nerves in the brain... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranial_nerves)
No you can't even link it.
GPL covers linking too (ignore the preamble - it lies).
Not according to mysql.

Right clicking does *not* produce the open in new tab menu.
Unfortunately I can't test middle clicking as I'm on a laptop which has only two buttons.

Hey I remember that from college!
It was one of the completely irrelevant things I had to learn to get a degree. Along with how punched cards and paper tapes worked. And databases that wrote directly to sectors on the hard disk.
Not much.
Unless you can find an assurer they won't even put your domain name in the certificate - the one you get is essentially blank.
And there are *very* few assurers - none at all in within 1000km of the UK (just checked).
