One thing to remember though, Half-Life was a generation behind on the graphical curve, it was no where near state of the art when it came out. Quake 2 was already out a year when it came out and it was based on Quake 1.
It is easy to make a trojan on Linux. Unix permissions mean squat to effective malware. Running as the user is more than enough to spew spam or be part of a botnet. Yes, it's easier clean. No, it doesn't work if someone else logs in. When you're talking single user systems, that's irrelevant.
SELinux and other MAC are a lot of the solution. Problem is, there isn't anything good enough for the average user, not yet anyway. I was hoping Leopard was going to be it, but Apple blew it. MS made Vista too annoying and people turn it off, assuming they hadn't gone back to XP.
I'm surprised a quote from this article didn't make it in:
Morro will work by routing all of a users Internet traffic to a Microsoft datacenter, where the Morro application will process the traffic and identify and block malware in real-time, by examining all of the rerouted traffic
How many people want all of their traffic explicitly going through Microsoft?
The first message from Skype thanked me for setting up their "Auto-Recharge" service which automatically purchases Skype credit when the balance falls below a certain amount. This was very suspicious, as I had never requested this service.
It is also why I don't have a DDJ / CUJ subscription any more. They connected my wife's e-mail to my name / address and started sending her spam, and couldn't consistently stop it. It would stop after a complaint, then resume. After the second resume, I completely canceled everything I had with them.
It was completely pointless for them to do this too. They already HAD my e-mail address, freely given to them.
Why is it always a creationist that brings up macro vs micro, does it wrong, and still doesn't understand why the difference doesn't support their position?

Yes you are. In anywhere but pure vacuum, you need to accelerate to maintain constant velocity in order to overcome friction.
You don't want the uninstaller resident, that's a point of weakness for attack.
And if you RTFA, you'd see the maintainers had a copy of the binary. So they can get the changes.
No. The cheapest current-gen console is $199, the 360.
As someone who switches between generations of hardware constantly, I call shenanigans.
A good game is a good game.
According to ESRB, There are 811 rated games for the 360, 521 for PS3
That doesn't say anything about quality or which are multiplatform.

Right, there's no way you could have, say, a malicious perl script.

They're a year and a half on something I reported to them. It's probably closer to 9 years, it's probably something that's been in since 10.0
Apple took more than a year after Sun patched it to patch an exploited buffer overflow in the JVM. They'll take forever to fix this too.

So how do you copy dynamically sized structures with = in C?
= never modifies the right-hand side of the equal sign, only the left hand side.
std::auto_ptr would like a word with you. This was one of the dumbest decisions the committee made.
Very good catch. Maybe Lessig should Talk with this Stanford law professor about the rules and get some clarification.
Since non-writable media such as CD-ROMs generally aren't avenues for malicious software propagation
Because no that's infected ever burns a CD, nope, never.
Xbox360: $199
Wii: $249
Yes, the $199 one is gimped, but anyone looking at pure cost isn't going to know that.
'Cobbled Together' describes most proprietary development as well.
Subdivide all you want, the only discipline in the world is Quantum Mechanics.

Takes millions of years? Than penicillin is just as effective as it was when it was discovered?
You can still get degrees
Atheism is just agnosticism with added Occam's Razor
