This is just a special case of the Broken Windows Fallacy. Just think!
And your argument is based upon the false analogy fallacy. Building a High Spead Railroad isn't replacing a broken window. A railroad is a creation of an unexisting object, replacing a broken window is the replacement of an already existing object.
5) I inherit various distro's from other people, other sysadmins and other companies. All of which are different in their methods, from source to package to binaries. If I lived in Theory (where everything works) I'd scrap them all down and do it My Way. But since I don't live there, I just have to do it My Way when I can and The Other Way most of the time.
That is what the computer industry is about, makeing computers accessable to the end users. If we do not help them, then we are self defetting.
Been in marketing long? I hate to do this, but lets do the whole switcheroo here.
That is what Nuclear Phsyics is about, makeing Nuclear Physics accessable to the end users. If we do not help them, then we are self defetting.
Bottom line, that's not what the computer industry is about, its about.. well, the computer industry. Some use it for end users, some use it for calculating weather reports. Don't restrict your view of computers as being "all about the user".
Email virii usually rely on stupid, sleepy, or _____ people to click on the attachment. Since most of these people are usually on desktops, which means windows, they get propigated out quickly.
Of course, security wise, there will always be buffer overflows as long as coders are allowed to decide what kind of data to put in their own buckets. Right now, windows is the OS that people love to hate and has most of the desktop share, and a good chunk of server, so naturally there is more attention paid to it then with Linux. I imagine as Linux becomes ever more popular, there will be more exploits out for it and it's applications. (See: current Sendmail exploit.)
Just because you don't see many exploits out for CP/M doesn't mean it's the most securely coded OS.
This is true, however, if you follow the Cisco Methodology Of Doing Things (er.. *cough*) then you should never have filters on anything that would have a large address space, as that would most likely be a core router. Or a large enough customer that you wouldn't want to piss off. So, in theory anyway, all filtering should be done on the access routers by customer subnet assigned to them, and thus they will only be allowed to send their subnet. Or, if you have multiple customers on one interface, the subnets shared by your other customers. Either way, it defeats the purpose of UDP-spoofing-file-shareing.
Of course, your ISP/firewall wouldn't necessarily be happy about sending out all those fake UDPs
Any responsable ISP doesn't just throttle them, they do egress filtering so that no IP's they don't own go out their gateway (or wherever they choose to do their filtering).

Think of it from a company's perspective. Exactly how do you tell the less-then-computer smart that your email address is A, unless they are on B, in which case your email adderss is B. Unless they are B compatable with their A email client.
Don't forget, the original idea behind email was that you could email anyone at anytime from anywhere. If you change that, it ceases to be email. (Not that that is really a bad thing...)

Sorry, not to sure where you get the idea that this was done by a bunch of hill billy terroist. This was a very well planned attack, and it certainly wasn't "easily prepared".
Example:
how do you get the weapons on board a plan? (step out of the hollywood arena were such things are common place in movies, mind you)
How do you pilot a plane? Unless you think the autolpilot has a "crash into Trade center" option.
How do you get at least two other planes to hit targets at around the same time?
There's also many rumors that they managed to disable the black box.
This was not easy, and it certainly took longer then a week to plan.
get off of it, people. Those who are attractive will always be looked at over those who aren't.
?br??br?
If an ugly person has the exact same qualifications as a beautiful person, the beautiful person will get the job. Anywhere.
?br??br?
This isn't a new concept, it's rather quite common. It may not be right, but screaching about how unfair, crude, rude, and discrimitory hotornot.com isn't going to change a thing.
?br??br?
the fact remains that people(in general) like looking at beautiful people. If they are naked, they like looking even more.
You are assuming the aliens would use a phonic based system of communication. What if they used something different, like smell or even some sort of sensory input that we have no clue about? Hell, they could bat thier eye lashes in binary and talk that way.
.. but I never heard anyone coming up to me, saying "I'm teasing you because you're depressed."
Sorry, but what planet are you from? When a kid starts crying, the first reaction of bullies is to simper at them and say "awww poor baby gonna go cry to mommy now?" or some sort.
if you pay money you are less likely to distribute it out, it also, in theory, should prevent the reeto lets-get-on-security-mailing-lists-for-free-so-we- can-get-exploits from signing up.
when i found out about that stupid bug, I spent most of the day in a panic that someone would hit one of the 7 nameservers that i'm responsable for before I could upgrade them.(all for high traffic sites that usually get about 2-3 "security" scans a day)
As such, I don't think I really have to much of a problem with it being released out to these "members" as long as I am one of them. (which is the ucky part). It should be released after about a week or so to the public, however.

From dictionary.com:
cyborg
A human who has certain physiological processes aided or controlled by mechanical or electronic devices.
Yep, he seems to fit that definition to me.
You were right about the golem though, if that's any consolation
golem
In Jewish folklore, an artificially created human supernaturally endowed with life.
