Now I have to ask, if users are dumb enough to open a password-protected zipfile in what sure looks like an obvious virus-generated message to me, aren't those users dumb enough to be convinced to chmod +x &&./runMyVirus
But how long will it be before the viruses generate more realistic looking emails? Perhaps a re: to a message you sent the infected person, with some plausible text included? they could scan the emails looking for keywords like Excel or Word etc. and send a reply with a suitable looking attachment.
I work on satellite systems designing software. My firend works at a bank entering data into a computer system. Another designs MMIs. Another maintains databases. Another does Unix support. AQnotehr supplies helpdesk info for computers. All these jobs are very different, so which ones belong to the term IT Specialist and which don't ?
What good are these email harvesters? I have never bought anyhting from a spam message and I get 100s. This guy is a serial buyer and gets 17!?! Somebody isn't doing a very good job and supplying useful email addresses!!
So what is this guy's email address??!!

The Amiga was great in it's day because it did some things no other computer could do at the time, but not anymore. I used to love that feature. Pull down a low res screen and there's a high res screen hiding behind it. In some ways it was easier to use than these multi-desktop managers in that you could swicth to different resolution screens for doing different tasks. Does any OS have that?
It's not just a free service. A large number of people pay to have a larger storage size and stop their accounts beinmg emptied if you don't log in every few weeks.
Note the "Business" part. The guy has absolutley zero techno savvy and is just parroting the most juicy rumours.
Although, after the Hutton reporty, I am suprised that the BBC would let him get away with statements such as "There's no proof, of course". But I guess as Linux users aren't a particularly organised bunch the BBC feels it can get away with shoddy journalism and unsupported inuendo in this case.
But the greatest balme should be laid at the door of the casting director who thought Bonnie Langford would be a great assistant!!! BONNIE LANGFORD !!! ARRGGHHHH!!!!!!!
No, that was my second paragraph: while you are tilting the device, say, 45 degrees left, the *image* on the screen "counterrotates" 45 degrees right, so you still see it upright/horizontal without tilting your head...
So the screen has to shrink at one end and grow at the otehr end to emulate perspective? That still means that the alreayd small picture gets even smaller.
What you would really need in this case is for the screen to be mounted on some sort of frame so that the device moves around it but the screen stays still. Much easier on the eyes then.
Although for the ball-in-a-maze game, you would then need to lock the screen to the device as you would expect that to tilt...:-)
But if you're tilting the device to drive the car, doesn't it make it difficult to concentrate on the screen as it is tilting too? Especially as the image is not large to begin with. Or am i supposed to be leaning and tilting my head to compensate? Either way, it doesn't sound particularly comfortable or doesn't seem to offer a better way of working.And if I want a ball maze, I can buy one for a few pence!

See how Axa likes them cookies!

Yeah, because presumably nobody reads the source site of the story - BBC News!
Dick Dastardly, Mutley, Klunk and Zilly will stop that pigeon!
Does that make them DOS-ers?

It's a free email service. Deal with it.

OK, let's get them out of the way...
Arthur C Clarke =- "Watch This Space"
Grant Naylor - Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers
Any others to add?
I like the car DVD system that includes the windshield video projector, so I can watch movies like "Along Came Polly"
My God, man, isn't there enough carnage on the roads already!!??!!
..ain't the same as getting.
Just wondering if this would be useful for building up muscle mass to combat long periods in low-gravity - such as a manned trip to Mars?

Everybody knows what to expect when you mistype a DNS name - pages of porn!

yet to be a successful American full-length animated feature which wasn't considered a "family" movie in the US.
Beavis and Butthead do America - think it mae around $80 million which isn't too shabby - and definitely not one for the liitle kiddies!
South Park Movie - also did around the $75 million mark.
Don't sound too shabby to me!
and I suppose a big pyramid with a disembodied eye embedded in it is perfectly nornmal and not at all spooky? ;-)
Isn't the UK already thinking of taxing every car "seen" on key roads once a day, every day they show up?
Noppe, not thinking of it - in the "congestion zone" of London they are already DOING this!
