that's odd, because I have *never* use bit-torrent for downloading anything that came anywhere near to being illegal : 3dmark, freebsd live cds, cygwin disks etc.etc.
Your interpretation of "survival of the fittest" falls in to the classic mis-interpretation of "fittest" relating to physical fitness.
"Fitness" in Darwinian evolutionary theory means "most fit for a particular ecological niche", thus altruistic behavior can fit a particular niche. If it was purely "only the strong survive" then there would only be strong individuals left after the millions of years of evolutionary pressure.
That group/troupe living has flourished amongst so many animal species is proof alone that a selfish existence is a quick road to non-survival.
Humans often like to think themselves as the most successful animal yet they are not the most successful by the criteria of numbers or biomass.
was great to be sat on a campsite in cornwall @ 10pm, getting a text from work and me ssh'ing into the server and sorting it out without moving

the bluetooth keyboard doesn't help that much, you have to enter text into putty one line at a time through a dialog box
options.. send text.. [dialog]... ok
not quiet like using a keyboard at a prompt and certainly not very curses friendly
with the added benefit that agile messenger works (IM client for icq, yahoo, msn & aol)
my friend has a sonyericsson p900 and can VNC into stuff to do work on T-Mobile but he can''t get agile to work at all, despite talking to support "well, it *should* work" is the best they could tell him !
also the 6600 is crippled for bluetooth networking so all traffic is via the GPRS, I've tried gnubox to no avail. (though I've not exhausted the permutations of dongles & base stations & sorting out interference with wifi etc.)
there's even python for series 60 now
I've avoided MSWindows based phones myself as I'm predjudiced against anything that says "synchronizes easily with Outlook" on the box:)
Your distinction between text and other forms of data is based on a false premise : that text is safe
if you doubt it see this from a few years ago, where Outlook exposed a buffer overflow problem from INETCOMM.DLL when processing PLAIN TEXT emails (as *all* emails are when transmitted).
I think your repsonse demonstrates a lack of understanding on your part. With a buffer overflow the apoplication used doesn't need to provide the high level actions such as file deleting, that payload is delivered as part of the overflow. The overflow overwrites the return address that the subroutine is using, you change this to point to the data you have provided. Thus the machine "returns" its executuon point into the overflowed data. This data can contain any machine code required to perform the actions you would like.

I didn't say no-one does, I merely stated that not everyone does, one of whom is myself.
Arguments of "I don't use it illegally! I download linux with it!" are pointless.
Are they? Yet that is exactly type of argument that legitimized home VCRs
that's odd, because I have *never* use bit-torrent for downloading anything that came anywhere near to being illegal : 3dmark, freebsd live cds, cygwin disks etc.etc.
You might request "no nit-picking" but sorry, you can't expect that.
It is not theft, theft is defined in law as to "permanently deprive".
Photocopying a picture from a book is nothing of the sort.

Once a week huh, that's amazing. Call back when you get over 200 days uptime.
Quicktime or RealPlayer
are you mad ?
Seems perfectly plain to me, perhaps it is *you* who need schooling!
I'd be interesting in you telling me how I can protect my electricity supply with WEP ?
is something completely different
so why even mention it ?
Personally I prefer my comedy with a bit more work on the script but sounds like you are easily pleased.
cheaprer and less error prone hmm
btw. what are these ads of which you speak?
thanks mr obvious for pointing that out
and you are sure that the Red Cross does no charity work in the US ?
at the risk of sounding like an AOLer : same here

They *should* be able to prcess *any* data.

Friends don't buy friends WindowsCE for Christmas.
Or WindowsMobile or whatever the darn thing's called.
Linux has root; ergo it is insecure by design.
You can't escalate your privileges if there are none to escalate to!
Don't go thinking text is safe, there is *no* difference, it's all data.
Data doesn't own boxes, processing it does.
that's real great so when my
and redirects windows update I can automatically get all my "updates" for "free"
hehe what a balls up
was there ever a time when humans did not engage in barter or exchange?
take that back or I'll smash yer face in !!!
j/k
what did we eat and where did we sit before commerce ?
do the birds carry purses under their wings?
try this one then
maybe if the world didn't depend on stuff that was commecial we wouldn't *need* a steady income!
