You talk as if that's a bad thing. You WANT to make it difficult to run executable attachments.
No. What you want is to make running attached executables safe and secure. Running in a sandbox could be easy and safe, for instance. The sandbox could prevent access to the network and the local filesystem in the same way as Java's security model
Making it more complicated doesn't make it any safer, and once the user gets the steps to make an attachment under Linuz memorised it won't slow them down much even.
And seriously, how is zipping up an exe going to make it safer? - the user is still going to open it and run the contents.
Jim is one of those guys that will never be looking for a job - well, given that he's apparently passed away since the article was written, you could be on to something there
If I mass-produced an album called "60 minutes of Silence", and it really contained 60 minutes of silence, I'd be making 'art' but I wouldn't be entertaining. As a matter of fact, I'd probably be up on charges of fraud.
How? It's quite clearly marked as 60 minutes of silence. If it actually made any noise the purchaser might have reason to complain
presents considerable information that's been surpressed by astronomers whose theories have been threatened.
Right. I would argue that since it's in a book you can buy easily over the internet it's not been very succesfully supressed. Perhaps if it was hidden under a rock in a cave in deepest darkest Afrika (with a sign on saying 'beware of the leopard' of course) then maybe it would count as suppressed.
Well that's the idea anyways. In practice Johnny seems to spend most of his time in Sydney, ostensibly because his kids go to school there but I think they've left school by now.

Defenestration is a form of testing isn't it?

I thought Steve Job's take on it was that it was a complete wank - at least that was the impression he gave. Maybe he's just like that
Because they won't let me tinker with 'rouge servers' at the office
That's easily fixed, just paint the box blue instead
My ultimate office has sharp tools
I've had days like that too, buyt I try not to let it get me down
And a new crop of Intel processors!
And don't forget the sunscreen

Why not just build a pass-through box that records the signals going to the monitor and dumps them off as images or MPEG video?
Unless they start replacing everybody's video card and monitor with new hardware that has encryption included this wouldn't be hard to do.
Unfortunately, Roomba's music/ sound cannot be modified or disconnected.
Heh. I reckon a few sharp blows with a sharp implement to the speaker should take care of disconnecting the sound
Well if they've gone up 0.1% but the market is 10% smaller than they're not doing so good are they?
NB to any number nazis out there: these numbers are made up but the point is the same
Well just maybe there was some problem they ran into during that late Beta stage that was way too much trouble to fix on Alpha?

Fortunately, the sequel "Reagan, the simple dimwitted puppet becomes president" simply isn't a role that Arnold is qualified for.
You're joking, right?
You have way too much confidence in the American voter...
Probably in Floopuary is my guess...
Damn that's a funny sig..
That's when you order a side of laptop-juice along with your latte or happy meal
You can add OS X to the list of updates too...

Riiight. So because the exploit wans't published then obviously no-one knew about it?
Well that's the idea anyways. In practice Johnny seems to spend most of his time in Sydney, ostensibly because his kids go to school there but I think they've left school by now.
You can't polish a turd
Damn that's funny as hell.
All we need now is some smartass to point out that it's Flemish not French
Wish I hadn't posted already now...
Does it shit anyone else when people use 'disinterested' when they mean 'uninterested'?
Invest in a dictionary dude
It's a real shame there isn't a +1 poetic moderation available.
