    Nope, I've had users get infected with this that solely use Firefox for web browsing. This is not a virus that exploits Windows, it's really targeted at exploiting Adobe vulnerabilities plus a few others.

    As I write this message, I am running a scan to make sure I just finished cleaning this virus off one of my user's machines. This user has TeaTimer installed, yet still got infected. It's rather odd, seeing as the infect piggybacks on some registry values. So either the user is mindless hitting Allow on TeaTimer, or the virus is circumventing it.

    I can kinda understand why one would equate hard-line capitalism with freedom when half the world was ruled by the Soviet Union, but it's long gone now, so we really need to drop the rethoric and admit that social good needs to be considered too.

    Yes! Less capitalism, more free market!

  18. Re:Why redirect them? on Is Internet Explorer 6/7 Support Required Now? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have one user who is still on a Windows 2000 platform. Last I knew Win2000 didn't support IE7 (and I assume IE8 by extension). He's been bitching about "certain" websites not working properly, which I am about 99% certain is because a lot of websites just aren't bothering to support IE6. I told him to use Firefox, he bitched about that, I threw my hands up in disgust and left him to rot. Then he installed Firefox and bitched about Firefox not doing what IE does.

    Some people are beyond redemption.

  19. Re:If only... on Space Shuttle Spy Gets 15 Years · · Score: 1

    Are you suggesting that the US would use the shuttle as a launch platform or delivery mechanism for nuclear weaponry?

  20. Re:If only... on Space Shuttle Spy Gets 15 Years · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm going with a literal interpretation. The article says information on the space shuttle, not the boosters.

    Further, going to Boeing's page on the space shuttle, all I can tell is their involvement is strictly limited to the orbiter, not the rocket boosters.

    This leads me to the conclusion of why China would want the shuttle? Maybe there's a few secrets in the orbiter worth having, but the value of the boosters is not necessarily within Boeing's possession.

    The House of Lords functions in a manner that the US Senate should have functioned. Since the appointment is life time, the Lords are not subject to listening to the populism. Thus they are free to make intelligent and informed decisions rather than relying on listening to the whims of the populace, potentially serving as a mechanism by which to prevent utterly stupid laws from passing.

    The US had that with the Senate, by making Senators a 6 year term and not making their appointment subjected directly to the whim of the people. Since the 17th Amendment in 1913 things have gotten progressively worse as Senators suddenly pay heed to populism.

    Just as a matter of interest, why do you hate market solutions so much? Are you some kind of socialist?

    The introduction of artificial scarcity by a non-market entity (government) does not make something a market solution.
