    It would make sense for your Network Admin to keep eye out for such email (does he get them too). and as soon as one hits, blonk the URL into the Firewalls exclusion list? Thus improving the chances of the Boss not screwing up his machine and screaming at the NA.

    I am not so sure about that.

    Most of the emails that I recieve that have "Click Here" are coming from people I don't know, and often seem like derived names from various first and lasts names.

    No, mating season is not all year round to allow the females to produce the offspring.

    The males try, but they are rejected by brooding females.

    It just happens that most of the non-breeding season the females are pregnant. Therefor not receptive.

    The pheromones release in the breeding season is like the OK signal to the males of the species.

    Trade is not really a problem, until somebody who has the resource wants to extort the people who need (note need) it.

    remember the closing comment People are the problem meaning there are too many (no I don't think we should nuke anybody).

    Perhaps you should also look at migration rates to and from these states, because the ones from Mississippi who scored low may well have moved to the other states for opportunities and now vote in that State.

    Of course it's about oil.

    Cause 630000000 people are a good reason to want to get your hands on OIL.

    It is currently a necessity and don't go blaming the oil companies for impeding progress on sustainable fuel, cause over and over again it is shown a good idea has other impacts on the environment. i.e. Nuclear. There really is no good solutions. There are good theories, but not always practicle.

    Do you own a car?

    Fact is people are the problem - Oil companies, politics, wealth and greed are the symptoms.

    Really need to set nested oldest first.

    Notice that the first 10 pages are the same -

    I have not bothered checking the rest but I think someone should try and fix this error.

  15. Problem with Slashdot? on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 1

    Why so often do I notice that there are many pages seemingly filled with the same comments.

    This topic for instance seems to have the first page repeated 10 times.

    which I think account for about 1000 of the 3800 post i.e. 100 not 1000.

    Nobody beleives that Hussein was even partially responsible for 9/11.
    It is obvious that Iraq was a soft target for the War On Terrom (tm).
    Look around at world and see the changes - Gadaffi for one seems a little less likely to cause trouble.
    Sure DNK is being stubborn but it is talking with SK and the UN is taking some stand in Iran.
    Change does not have to be direct to have an effect.
    If you got a better answer for changing the mindset of the world leaders - enlighten us all.

    Consider that maybe 911 might have been the wrong way to curry Bush's favour - the guy had been in office for 9 months so much of the past is not really directly his fault.
    So he reacted in a way which nobody likes.
    Kick a dog a see if you like the way it reacts.
    Once I would like to see someone admit that it is up to the peoples of these countries - say Iraq for example, to standup to their own leaders and not wait til America barges in and stuff things up.
    Did anyone notice that in the Last "Election" in Iraq - Saddam had 98-99% of the vote. Even the perfect leader cannot command that much respect. Surely that should have rang a few alarm bells. But when the US president get 51% of the popular vote, some injustice has been done.

    I think Goedel tried to prove that you cannot prove you have bug free software.

    So, if I didn't find a bug in my program today - it's because I didn't find a bug - not because there isn't anymore bugs to find.

    The suggestion is that the less you look for exploits the less likely you are to find them.

    QED Because many people look for Windows XPloits they will eventually find them and let the whole world know!
