Holy crap. Maybe now we'll start seeing things that DON'T hurt to use.
I think it should be required that corporate execs spend a week without a charge card and 'only' $1000 in cash. Their goal is to use their own service as much as possible in one week. See how many times they have to call tech, etc. I think it would be a good test of their own infrastructure: put the top at the bottom and see how far they get before they want to stab someone.
I did not know that. Technically, most universities and colleges and community "family life centers" offer free ones, but I think that most people don't know or don't care. It's our own dumb fault that disease spreads anymore.
But India's highway system also allows it to have an HIV rate comparable to south africa. Married truckers, truck stop hoes, and long routes have lead to an epidemic spread of the virus. Go figure. I'm glad condoms are $1 in the US, where a dollar doesn't matter.
In this case, the producer of the malware is question is Sony. Most people with less money than Sony (read MS, Warren Buffett) aren't going to a) claim their software (obviously) is malware or b) find some way to make it safe. They probably considered that "Sony's Job" to get all the bugs out.
The first clue that this wasn't going to happen was of course the fact that said rootkit contains GPL code, which has been widely publicized here and other places. In theory, Sony must now release the source to this, or write their own damn dvd code (as i take it). This probably will not happen:p
My main concern with this is that IF Sony decides that the best thing to do here is to release the code is that we are going to have a RUSH of really nasty worms out there. I think I'm just going to leave my home computer off and play Doom on my work box. Seems safe. Then again, I'm a paranoid bastard, and probably shouldn't own a computer. I like etch-a-sketches.
That SETI, rather than looking in the wrong places... is looking in the wrong ways? ETs aren't going to let us see them until we know how to look at ourselves.
Considering I live in the commonwealth of Virginia, which if you didn't know, is a sickeningly conservative state, my vote already does not count. If Bush loses virginia, I'll dance naked in the street. This is of course, why I vote Libertarian. At 17, I garnered 2 votes for Browne (parents listen to political teenagers surprisingly enough), which was essentially 4 votes since my mom's dem and my dad's rep. Once again this year I will drop my Libertarian ballot in the box. I think Browne got ~1200 votes in my county last election, it's nice to actually be able to see your vote count.
No, I didn't read the article. I barely took time to read the post.
Does anyone else mentally akin this to tagging elk, moose, bears, etc? Turning people into animals, fun stuff. Where do I sign up for the Mark of the Beast crazy shindig conspirahooha?
Use computers 10-24 hours per day, 7 days a week, for your entire youth, while your eyes are growing. Anything less than two feet in front of me I can see with frightening clarity at times, but anything further than two feet in front of me is a total blur without glasses. My eyes don't get tired until about 10-15 hours of hard core usage, which is usually about when my brain has turned to tapioca and it's time to stop anyway. Let's hear it for mutations.
so basically, we're going to have a several hundred year period of dark-ages weather. after all that clears up and the oceans straighten themselves back out, we got a couple thousand years until we're really screwed? man, this civilization thing would be a lot easier if mother nature wasn't so nuts. invest in coats & batteries.
you and your fancy shmancy degree got you a big ol SALARIED job! work hourly for a company that doesn't straight screw it's employees, never fight for overtime again. hell you might even start to fight overtime!
ok, I think I'm running low on karma so I'll stop being a jerk-shit.

I wonder if this could be used as a form of advertising.

Admittedly, B&W2 is going to be little more than Warcraft + (Warhammer 40k)Titan... but it does not dissuade me from:

also, most people getting sysadmin positions are "qualified" instead of "experienced."
The 360 has been hacked, cracked, and now ported and ready for emulation... and the 2nd round of shipping hasn't even arrived yet.

Using your Game Boy to control a lego mindstorms kit. This is the peak of civilization, from a toy point of view.
