This script must be installed on the victim's machine using the SMTP protocol. It goes like this:
MAIL FROM: <address of victim's friend> RCPT TO: <victim's address> DATA: Hey, Dude, what's up? Check out this file! It's a wicked screensaver of some sort! Just drag the file to/Library/StartupItems/ on your computer and restart.
They don't need to test whether these machines count properly or not. What they need to test is whether they result in the election of the proper candidate.
In fact, Al Qaeda has endorsed Bush for president. For those who can't be bothered to read through the article, here's the relevant quotation. It comes from a threat published in Al-Quds al-Arabi by members of the al Qaeda affiliate organization the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades, as reported in the New Yorker:
"We are very keen that Bush does not lose the upcoming elections," the authors write. Bush's "idiocy and religious fanaticism" are useful, the authors contend, for they stir the Islamic world to action.
(I heard an interviewee on NPR translate the entire relevant paragraph from al-Quds, and it is even more chilling than the above reporter's quotations reveal. I can't find the transcript of the interview, however.)
It absolutely amazes me that the Kerry campaign is not using this to promote their candidate. Kerry has all but conceded major ground to Bush by not explaining that it is Bush who is the far more palatable candidate for terrorists, because it is the Bush Administration which has done more than any previous U.S. Administration to encourage and facilitate the spread of international terrorism. And the terrorists know it.
I teach at a good sized state university, and we were well ahead of the curve in being "wired" (we could easily answer "yes" to almost all the questions on the forbes survey). But I have colleagues who don't know how to use their computers. While there are attempts to train faculty and draw them more into the information age, there are still far too many (usually older) faculty members (and staff) who are out of touch technologically. Department pages are very slow to be updated on the web (if they exist at all), students freely plagiarize from online sources knowing their professor won't use google to catch them, and computer labs are cesspools of viral activity because the OS's aren't kept up to date.
What's worse, the university has bought into inflexible proprietary software solutions such as PeopleSoft, WebCT, and Blackboard to try to manage tasks which would be much better served by more flexible tools. I don't know as much about Peoplesoft (other than that I hate using it and it doesn't always work with my Mac), but my experience with the online teaching tools is that we would have been much better off with open source solutions like classweb, being developed at UCLA.
But of course it's a lot more difficult to measure such things on this sort of survey.
It does seem like the solution here is not to say "no RFIDs in the passports", but actually to ensure that there is a way to easily control when the tag is read. And there seem to be several solutions available.
Yes; there's a solution called the "bar code," and it doesn't require any damned RF technology. Why bother using RFID if it isn't to be able to read the thing at a distance? If you're going to have to take it out of the pouch to deliver the information, they might as well have to run a barcode scanner over it as well.
Ummm, yeah, that sounds really simple. Some of the more tech-savvy designers even make bags with faraday cages built in! Be private, *and* fashionable.
I thought frame dragging was when you dragged the frame of a window with your mouse. I was going to point out how this would never have happened if Earth used a one-button mouse.....
it's really a sad state of affairs when a glorified weblog isn't able to report news faster than a multibillion dollar media corporation with reporters stationed all over the globe.
Just check the number of posts to usenet about the internet. If there has been a decline in the number of posts about the internet, then the internet is truly dying....
The victims were all receiving or providing at-home care under a state program to help the elderly and disabled.
So why bother stealing the SSNs of victims who are old and broke? You can't steal their money - they don't have any! If you steal their identity you'll wind up laying in a hospital with a tube in your nose being pumped full of Demerol....

What, you still have one of those modems?
Oh. Sorry, dude.
IBM had to turn down the certification because they couldn't find the relevant code.
So they do provide you with virgin brides, but you have to run down to the megastore to pick them up?
Will this physics book include information about how he brought his niece back from the dead?

On a lighter note, here's another Bush endorsement that we might want to be concerned with.

After I read that it gushed out my nose.
Phase 1: Collect rancid toilet water
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit!

those godless communist bastards are preying on our innocent capitalism aryan heros like 50 cent, eminem, and britney... think of the children!!!
That's funny; when I went to Russia, music pirated me.
Does it cost $500 to participate in the beta test?

You just pirated William Blake!
They can call it "iCaramba."
Hopefully, once you reformat, they will be gone forever.
It's also black.
you mean iRish.
only for the next two years. After the internet dies, this satellite is history too.
