I used a Mac at the time and had numerous instances of identifying viruses in Word macros sent to me by windows users. The Mac version of Word didn't play macros automatically and warned that there was a suspicious one, and Disinfectant 3.7 could identify them. The reactions I would get from windows users is first a smug "Hah! You told me macs didn't have any virus problems"... then after explaining that my Mac at best was functioning as a kind of typhoid mary for viruses that didn't have any impact on the system I'd hear, "oh, so it's nothing to worry about then"... a bit of convincing to get them to fire up an antivirus program that scans Word files for such macros and then "Holy shit! this thing is all over my system!" How little things change sometimes.... Of course I pulled that Disinfectant version number out of my ass but for some reason I suspect it is accurate.
[by the way the Mac of the time, while far more secure than the windows of the time, certainly had its share of problems. The autostart worm was a particularly nasty one that I was lucky enough never to get bit by. ]
the brutality of their human rights situation. While American spammers get off easy with a mere 9 years of taxpayer-subsidized television and weightlifting, we can expect Chinese spammers to receive the torture and hard labor they so richly deserve...
this article claims it's only $223 million; a few more details here but not much. Nothing about a revolution in keyboard technology though.... This all sounds fishy, or at least incomplete.
These will be (not ethnically identified) robots patrolling Japanese shops and offices. I was hoping we would get Japanese robots patrolling shops and offices here in the US.
If he picks Alberto Gonzales (currently attourney general), all hell may break loose.
I don't see why -- we already have one justice who is pro-torture on the bench (Check out Clarence Thomas's interpretation of the 8th amendment). Then again, Thomas' confirmation was certainly no cakewalk.... but it had nothing to do with his pro-torture stance.
You take the massive core. You point it at the sky. You look through it. If you're lucky, you discover a planet this way. How hard is that to understand?

To get the free iPod, of course!
Because the slashdot editors had a feeling it would annoy you.
Mmmm, kernel pancake....
It's PAYBACK TIME!!!
And I, for one, welcome our Neanderthal overlords....
Actually you can do better than that with the chicagocrime.org site -- check out the division into types of crime. So if you want to know where to buy crack or where to get a handjob without leaving your car this map will help you out.
I didn't know Jackson Pollack was an "artist" .... I just thought he was a shitty painter.

They're letting Americans slip into the country for cheap drugs and medical care?
African wood is far too large for an iPod. They are going to be better off using European or Asian wood.
Yeah -- that's the best part!
That's the way I like to watch the news too -- just fast forward to the explosions. Everything else is just an appetizer.
Yes, but it's a gold ping pong ball. One that was made out of lead a minute ago.
Lead into gold - there's nothing crazy about it at all. How the hell else do you think cockroaches will be able to afford this car?
Maybe this one?
Mmmm.... organic compounds....
is there any support for this or is it just some ranting AC? I don't see this name anywhere on the news story or anywhere in google for that matter.

Do you really wish to buy $251 million worth of SCOX?
[CANCEL] [OK]

Where's the CowboyNeal option?

Either that, or used as evidence against him in a future rape trial.
At least the crooked politicians can get blowjobs in the oval office.

you misspelled "Soylent Green is people"
