If there's one thing I don't understand about overclockers, it's why some of them will overclock their system and spend tons of money on cooling systems (like Peltiers and Fluorinert(TM):) when they could just as easily upgrade their processor for slightly more money with the advantage of much better stability...

There are also some R2 titles that are superior to the R1 version. For example, the R1 version of Eyes Wide Shut is censored, unlike all the other versions.
As another example, the R2 release of X-Files: the movie is anamorphic, while the R1 release is plain-vanilla widescreen.
That depends on preference. I, personally, would rather watch a plain-vanilla widescreen DVD than an anamorphic one; anamorphic DVDs have a rather stretched look to them (the movie, not the disc itself:).

I'm sorry, I may have missed it, but did you mean "weasels on fire", or "homosexual weasels"? I would appreciate clarification.

There is one hope. There is one possible salvation, one glimmer of light in the dark night of the weasel, though not too dark, as that
they're on fire, and fire does make a little bit of light yanno. The weasels aren't exactly subtle. You're going to know they're coming, which in a way, is much worse. We only have one chance to defeat this scourge and take back the rights that we have so willingly sacrificed.

Actually, there never was an 833 or 900; as I mentioned in a reply somewhere above, you can't go at 33MHz increments when you've got a 133MHz FSB and the bus frequency multipliers are only at 0.5x increments. With a 100MHz FSB, Intel used 50MHz increments (450 [4.5x], 500 [5.0x], 550 [5.5x], 600 [6.0x], 650 [6.5x], 700 [7.0x], 750 [7.5x], 800 [8.0x], and 850 [8.5x]), at which point they went to a 133MHz FSB with 66MHz increments (533 [4.0x], 600 [4.5x], 667 [5.0x], 733 [5.5x], 800 [6.0x], 866 [6.5x], 933 [7.0x], 1000 [7.5x], the 1066 [8.0x] which was apparently skipped, and now 1133 [8.5x]). Intel stopped using 33MHz increments when they stopped using a 66MHz FSB.

I saw something similar to this described in a magazine article a long time ago, but it wasn't a virus. The scenario was as follows: 1. Create a 'sandbox' in which programs can run without screwing up the rest of the system (a Virtual Machine(TM)). 2. Write a small program that does nothing more than copy itself (i.e. reproduce). But give it a buggy copy routine that might remove, change, and/or add bytes to the output (similar to how radiation messes up DNA/RNA). 3. Run a program a few times and then delete it (limited lifespan). Repeat for each program generated. Some programs generated will have changes that will break them (and they are subsequently removed from the 'gene pool'), some programs will have changes that have no effect on the functionality, and some programs will have changes that add functionality. If this were run at a high enough speed, theoretically, the programs would begin to show signs of evolution.

They need to rewrite the Windows security model completely, and admit their mistake with Macros that they've been hiding since Word 6
I'm no expert, but I believe this is one of the ideas behind Windows NT. File system security in NT, as I have observed, is similar to that of Linux, so you would have to be logged in as Administrator in order to trash the system (or have a virus do it for you). The network, however, is a different story. And I do not believe Outlook needs administrator access to copy itself to network drives with full write access and email itself to everyone in your address book, though ILOVEYOU would only end up renaming/trashing YOUR files rather than everyone else's (as well as the system's).

This is what.NSF files are for; the only problem is that you need to be an expert at 6502 assembly, since NSF files are chunks of code ripped from the ROM with a few subroutines highlighted.

I know that you can get an arbitrary CRC-32 checksum with just the last few bytes of a file (either 3 or 5 bytes), but can the same thing be done to produce an arbitrary MD5 sum?
If so, then passing around MD5 sums for the fake MP3s would be useless; the people generating the fake MP3s could just fake the MD5 sum to match that of a good one. If not, forget what I just said.
