The local phone companies take there monopoly as far as they possibly can. Try to signup for DSL service before moving into a new apartment! First, the DSL ISP needs your phone number, so they can ask the phone company to provision your line for DSL. In order to ask the phone company, your phone number has to be listed in the phone companies database. The phone company has one month to add your number to the database, after the switched on your service. Once the ISP put the work order in with the phone company, it can take about anouther month for the phone company to atually do something. Once they provision the service, not earlier than that, you will know if you can get DSL at all and at what speed. Forget measuring the distance from your Central Office. If your line is just 'bad', or if your neighborhood is connected using a fiber optic line, you are out of luck. Now after two months into the process, the ISP can send out a crew to install the service (if you don't do it yourself). Needless to say that once in a while the crew arrives to find out that the local phone company setup the line wrong, or not at all. I am personally a Cable modem fan (can't tell by reading this;-) ). But would like the same choice of ISPs DSL users enjoy. I just hope we don't end up with the same mess once they have multiple cable ISPs. The way the cable ISPs behave now if you just mention 'competition' is not a good sign. Lets all go wireless!!.
Why is this a problem? For a projct as complex as Postgres, I am not surprised that the code has grown beyond of what a single programer could understand.
Further, they had it all over the news for the last couple days that they where looking to do some arrest in Manila/Philipines but had to wait until Monday as there was no judge available to sign the warrant all weekend.
I guess if the guy had any kind of smarts, whatever evidence was left should be gone by now. So the police probably 'compensated' for the delay?
But then again. There is a certain 'brag-factor' in being foudn guilty of writting something like this virus...
Its a form factor issue as well. Sure, you could fit an ethernet cable in a docking station. But fitting an RJ-45 plug in the Palm Pilot itself is a stretch. Look at all the flimsy PCMCIA ethernet card solutions. I bet USB is cheaper to impelement as well. Personally, I use the Palm IR interface a lot. And I wish Linux would get better USB support.

Most important: Joker.com works. NSI does not. It is always a hassle to change anything using NSI. Joker is straight forward...
