  1. Re:Does it affect IE 6? on New (More) Annoying Microsoft Worm Hits Net · · Score: 2, Informative

    IE6 tried opening it with Windows Media Player and then it said that the format wasn't recognized. So my guess is that it's not vulnerable.

    I'm currently using WinXP RC2 and it doesn't degrade the quality of the MP3 music file-format. My MP3's run just fine with WinXP, and furthermore WMP8 will have an add-in that allows you to record your CD's in MP3 format for up to 192kbps.

    You don't know much about Mafia, Hells Angels, etc.? Those people have federal agents working and spying for them. Last time I heard about them they were accessing extensive info on cops to see which ones they could hire. Imagine them having logs of your emails, websites you visit, etc.

    Want my take on this? They weren't able to win a simple war on drugs, now they want us to think that they can eliminate crime?
    Terrorists come from countries at war. The only and best long term way to eliminate terrorism is by establishing peace in those countries. Attacking Afghanistan will only make terrorists angrier and reinforces the Anti-U.S. feelings in Arabic countries. This will lead to some Arabic countries siding with Afghanistan and more Terrorism in the United-States. By declaring war on Afghanistan not only would we have helped terrorism grow but we would have hurt our children to. Think about it, children who's parents have been killed by terrorist attacks or by war will grow with hate on their mind and a few of them will become criminals.

    It's crazy, at this rate we'll have more programming languages than programs, we'll have more OS's than we can think off, etc.. I don't know if you're getting it but at this rate, the value of software will sink. Supply is much bigger than demand, soon enough developpers will not afford to pay for food. Don't say I didn't warn you.
