I use roughly the same techniques you do. I guess I misunderstood your use of "nailed". You were using it to mean "infected", but I was using it differently. At the height of the outbreak of each of the viruses I mentioned, with loads of 200 KB virus attachments to my inbox every day, I was getting pretty "nailed" in that my inbox got so full that I could not receive legitimate mail.
So can he get a drive and a Samba server in a reasonable-size enclosure with a connection significantly faster than 100 Mbps? Does Samba work over high-speed USB or over an IEEE 1394 serial bus?
it is no more difficult to support a non-Microsoft filesystem in Windows
The www.microsoft.com web site is not responding as I type this, but it lists the price of the IFS Kit (the headers and libraries required to compile NT filesystems) as $1000. Are the "redirector services" any different? And even then, is an additional FAT## partition the best way to get the particular redirector driver onto a particular machine?
then there's an opportunity for a decent OSS project: completely open, cross-platform, fast, journaled filesystem, with code tarballs for all major platforms.
Windows is again the limiting factor. Last time I checked (within the past couple months), a license for the header files and libraries required to compile a filesystem driver compatible with Windows 2000 and Windows XP cost $1000. Has this changed?
With the exception of the fetus, which cannot survive without its host, the above mentioned entities are in fact human.
The difference between a 20 week fetus and a 20 week infant is that the infant can be adopted by a different host. Do you claim to predicate humanity on adoptability?
Neglected, they may die, but they are in fact living on their own without the assistance of external aid.
How is the mother of the 20 week infant not providing "the assistance of an external aid" through her breast and her love? Besides, define "external". Fetal human beings breathe a fluid carried inside a mother's womb; infants breathe a fluid carried inside an atmosphere.
"Woman's right to choose". To choose what? I fully support a woman's right to choose what to wear, what to eat, where to work, whom to marry, whether to conceive babies, etc.
What's the difference between "choosing" to kill a baby after it's born and "choosing" to kill the same baby before it's born? You claim that there exists such a fundamental difference, so why do you keep its identity a trade secret?
Because the fetus is divorced from another organism. ANY person can take that baby and nurture it and keep it alive. Prior to birth, only the MOTHER can do that.
"A mother should be allowed to kill the baby inside her because unlike the parasite outside her, the parasite inside her cannot be transplanted to another mother." Do I understand you correctly?
How did you manage to avoid Sircam, Nimda, Klez, Bugbear, and the rest of the worms that mass-mail themselves to everyone in the user's Outlook and Outlook Express address books and IE cache? Do you have a corporate virus filter?
it cannot exist without a host, it derives nutrients from the host to the detriment of that host.
Likewise, a born child is a parasite. It can't survive without mother's milk. Then it can't survive without food purchased and prepared by mother and father. What's the difference between a fetus feeding off a placenta and an infant feeding off a nipple?
Humans dependant upon machines to live are cyborgs.
Are you dependent upon your automobile? How do most people eat if they do not drive to work or to the grocery? So why do cyborgs like you and I deserve fewer rights than the Amish?
D: I'll pay you $10, but I need $5 of that in taxes which will cover basic healthcare and help improve local schools for people who won't get jobs, or are here illegally.
People who "won't" get jobs? What about people like myself who have a four-year degree but get turned down everywhere but food service??
Don't forget all those wonderful Internet kiosks that have key loggers installed.
Get around key loggers by bringing a laptop computer (even my four-year-old PII 333 MHz laptop can run Mozilla Firebird fast enough after a RAM upgrade), asking for "Internet access over 10BASE-T" rather than "web kiosk access", and connecting to sensitive servers only through an encrypted tunnel technology such as TLS or SSH.
I claimed only that Athlon processors don't have a slower "stealth mode" that can safely run fanless. I know that AMD motherboards designed in the last two years protect the CPU from melting down, but do they slow the processor down, or do they just turn it off? I don't follow CPUs much, but I still haven't seen any x86 compatible processors besides the P4 and the Pentium-M that slow down when too hot.
Of course, to remove HTML mail would require a level of effort such that a proper check on spam would be easier to implement.
Most Outlook Express clients that are configured to send HTML are configured to send both text/plain and text/html, with reasonably valid tags. Most Outlook Express users also spell at least half Just flag as "junk" any message 1. that has text/html but no inline text/plain, 2. whose inline text/html content does not substantially match its text/plain content, 3. whose text/html content has a large number of comments or unknown elements, or 4. that, after deleting words not valid in any language the intended recipient speaks, consist primarily of a link whose content is an image to be retrieved via HTTP. These quick checks seem to work well as a front line of defense against junk e-mail, and SpamAssassin uses variants on them.
Intel's Pentium 4 processor still has a turbo switch, triggered by a thermal sensor on the chip. When the core temperature drops below a specific temperature, your P4 model 2400 will jump from 1.2 GHz to 2.4 GHz. You can affect this thermal sensor by turning your machine's CPU fan on and off. Turn the fan off, and it's in "stealth" mode, passively cooled by the CPU heat sink; turn it on, and it's in "turbo" mode.
At the time this report was filmed, AMD's competing processor didn't have a stealth mode and just gave up its magic smoke when the CPU got too hot.
Under U.S. law, A product name can still conflict with a completely unrelated product's trademarked name if the other trademark is a "famous trademark" as defined in the Trademark Dilution Act.
Besides, another user pointed out that Motorola, a semiconductor company, sells a product called "Astro".
Patent whores who just sit around and WAIT for someone to sue
...may lose the right to collect. The doctrine of laches states that if the alleged infringer can show that the patent holder harms an alleged infringer by delaying legal action, the alleged infringer doesn't owe the patent holder any damages for infringements that occurred before the suit was filed.
Sure, everything is proprietary in a sense, but some works are proprietary in a way that does not hinder the public from using and improving the software. These programs are called "free software".
Why don't we have GnuCash selling licenses to those who actually need and are willing to pay for it?
Given the GNU GPL, I assume that the "licenses" you refer to are licenses to call tech support as opposed to licenses to obtain and use the program. I'm assuming that the GnuCash team doesn't sell tech support contracts because they would have a hard time setting up the business, attracting employees to do the job, etc.

Want to connect to your ISP's mail? What? You need a separate application for that? Why can't I just click the mail icon?
Because you can click the mail icon that was placed there by your ISP's setup CD. At least Earthlink dial-up installs client software.

instead, manufacturers are trying to come out with something so that their consumers can finally play GTA3 smoothly.
<joke>
I believe the "something" you seek is called a PlayStation 2 game console.

Cue intel-sounding theme, but with bagpipes.
No. Bag sucks.
(Inside joke. If you haven't played Dance Dance Revolution Extreme you won't get it.)
Celeron=Celerity... or maybe Celebrity
More like Apium graveolens .
Efficeon=Efficient?
As another user pointed out, Efficeon sounds more like a fish. Transmeta should have plundered classic literature again (like it did with Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe), possibly taking the name "Nemo" from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne. Or maybe not.
That's a compliment like saying the fat girl has a good personality.
You didn't like Shallow Hal either, I take it?
Strange, because these are unrelated products.
Under U.S. law, A product name can still conflict with a completely unrelated product's trademarked name if the other trademark is a "famous trademark" as defined in the Trademark Dilution Act.

From the article:
So will I be able to turn it all the way up to "Max 300"?
And I'm tired of Dial-Up being an excuse: get Broadband if you want to be on the net.
You wire everybody $200,000 to move their families to an area where decent broadband is available, and I'll believe you.
Nothing you read on Slashdot is legal advice.
