Not only can it be done, it is not terribly difficult to do so. Try the Linux kernel with uClibc and Busybox. Toss in dropbear and TinyCC and you are well on your way to a usable system sans GNU userland tools.
Not likely. In order to DoD a fridge, you must not be near it during the initial attack, but also must be ready to move in quickly to determine if there is anything worth salvaging.
Reformat the USB key?
The bottom line: It's a *WINDOWS* exploit.
Get off of Microsoft products, and you don't have
these problems.
Businesses that continue to use Microsoft software
are, plain and simple, asking for problems.
Potentially, *MAJOR* financial problems.
Stockholders should *DEMAND* that businesses
stop using Microsoft products because they
are a very strong potential liability.
Exactly. There are no secrets about this operation anymore.
It is just a ploy by the darkside to cover their ass after the
fact. If all of the judges involved fall for the governments
state secrets argument, then anything the government does that
is illegal will always be covered up via the state secrets argument.
I'm optimistic that not all of the judges will fall for it.
Who benefits? Those that would like to attack Google
and Google users. There is a lot of crap out there.
It's not a coincidence that many keywords are used
out of context to intentionally obfuscate and misdirect.
The darkside likes to create noise in order to hide signal.

Maybe Senator Spector got them an NSA contract.
Waiting until 2008 will definitely be too late.
I hope you meant 2006.

There usually isn't after a DoD attack.
An offer to endorse Xen. Remember, Microsoft has divorced themselves
from Xen. I'd really like to know who the 'neutral third party' is.
I have a hunch they are not so neutral.
Manned. Keyword.
The numerical aspect means nothing.
As I've said multiple times before,
it's still a tossup as to the rovers staying
alive past the Vista release date.
I'm siding with the rovers, even if Vista
doesn't become stable until 2010.
Like Tandem.
And most people don't know how to disable autorun in windows.
Whether intentional or not, a huge reduction in population
would do the trick.
It's pure slippery slope stuff.
Really, it's a lot. I mean, now he can afford to
buy a copy of Microsoft Windows *and* Microsoft Office!
Boot both boxes under Knoppix (or other Live CD), and SCP the files.
Already bought. Are they really doing anything useful now?
I think not.
Agreed. This smells like WB has been fooled.
Apparently, you only have to wait long enough
for the fool to soon part with his money.
For those that missed the sarcasm, PP is accurate,
informative, and insightful. Not funny either.
Standard astromod action was performed on PP.
