Jessep: You want answers? Kaffee: I think I'm entitled to them. Jessep: You want answers? Kaffee: I want the truth! Jessep: You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to! Kaffee: Did you order the code red? Jessep: (quietly) I did the job you sent me to do. Kaffee: Did you order the code red? Jessep: You're goddamn right I did!!
If you haven't done it already, go to microsoft.com and search for antispyware. Install Microsoft AntiSpyware (beta). You'd be surprised how many trojans and spyware it will find on your "secure" Windows boxen.
Microsoft didn't write it. It's GIANT AntiSpyware with a new label. It may think some of your legitimate apps are spyware, like VNC, but it usually marks them as ignore by default anyway. It's great if you forgot they were there or someone else installed them without your knowledge.
Can you imagine what would happen to the other universe if some ass left their wormhole open and our universe ended and another one started over? It would be bad.
Define bad? Imagine all life as you know it stopping instainously and every molicule in [the other universe] exploding at the speed of light.
I guess that would still give people in the other universe time to get out too, and make the same mistake.
"Then did St. Steve raise on high the Holy G5 of Cupertino, saying, 'Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine Dell enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the renderings of lambs and toads and tree sloths and fruit bats and orangutans and lickable icons.... Now did the Lord say, 'Thou in 12 months, thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the GHz and the number of the GHz shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two-point-five, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the GHz, be reached, then thine will be great and powerful in my sight, however if thou shall have more than one button on thou mouse, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff thine's life.'"
Bayesian tail might be neat. I like the idea of broadening the use, but I'd much rather see bayesian filters used on my in-box for more than just spam. I envision a filter that would sort out e-mails based on subject matter. This would have the net effect of improving the filter technology because it's trying to sort e-mails you actually want to look at.
We all know that if the filter makes a mistake and hides a message in the Spam box, and chances are you'll might miss many of them, another the chance to train the filter has been lost. But if an e-mail that was intended to land in the Irate Customer box, instead lands in the Clueless Customer box, the likelihood of noticing it is much greater.
Excuse me, but isn't Moore's Law complete bunk? I mean, if from 1980 the 4.77MHz would double every 18 months, today we'd have something like a 30GHZ processor.

Mac users, however, appear to be afflicted with amusing juxtapositions of the aforementioned situation.
My 486 had 1MB Cirrus Logic graphics and could do 1024x768.
Yes, I'm sure, but at the expense of color depth. 16 colors is bad, umkay? Umkay.
"only SVGA (800x600)"
My 80486DX4 is only VGA (640x480), you insensitive clod!
Just like my screen saver predicted.
Here's proof they intended a 2004 release. Well, maybe it's fake. I found it in 2002.
