    I saw just saw a new post on [S]lashdot with the chars [i]bm and [s]torage.

    Like asking firemen if they start fires..

    They do! and a lot. it is called training. When they light another plane at the airport it shocks quite some people who are just taking off. But no real damage is done, and if they did not train there would be,BIG problems if a real fire occured.

    And anti viral software writers do not train? "there a enough N fires already". Then how do you test software? collecting viri?

    Yes, you say, memory is cheap and there are newer OS'es. But this a a company PC. So i keep using opera 5.12 hoping there are no big exploits actually used.

    chord Very efficient to find files.

    distrinet At this stage: vaporware.(there is code....) But if you look at the description it beats any p2p software!

    But in the end the network with the most data (gnutella/kazaa) will be used. Note that users will switch networks very quickly. Look what happened to napster.

    I can sign up for a new account and within hours, I'm receiving spam. Dang, now that's some added value, not to mention adding to the need for more storage.

    You just have to examine all the flags that are there. Make sure that any options that might show your email in a directory are off.

    I have a OLD hotmail account that only receives 1 spam message per week, and a relative new account that only receives the Hotmail/MSN offers. Just do not use "JoeSmith@hotmail.com" but use "Joe_Smith_21@hotmail.com". I do have a throwaway OLD mail that one had "list in xxx directory checked that still has 100 new emails ..enlarge your penis.. when i log in.

    Keep away from the cordless mouses for gaming.

    -radio interference makes it move jerky. (your problem?)

    and my personal problem
    -you can loose them.

    Coders are human, and therefore assholes. I do not share this pessimistic view of mankind. But i d share the idea that program's are concepts/ideas. They are in a form that is very well reproducable.

    If someone want's to kill 1000's of people in a game, he can create such a game.
    If someone has an idea how to communicate with 1000's of real people he will do it. Even if he/she only want to tell how to get a bigger penis.
    If someone want too proof he a a c001 d0d3 and he can Hax0R your Box he will.
    If you want to sell stable believable software you will dress in gray and make software that work.

    The only way we could have been invulnerable to this sort of mishap is by using linux;

    Because:
    -There are very few linux enabled viruses.
    -Wine does not support enough win32 to let most viruses work. (and wine still must be run as root)
    -ACL's could have controlled the spearding of the viri.

    not:
    -Any platform can get infected. No platform is protected against users executing anything they get send. If linux gets popular it will get viruses AND anti virus software.
    -Linux might excute some win32 code.
    -NT /novell might be setup in a way excutables don't get modified. (Until a admin gets infected)
