The company even suggests that customers might upload a shopping list to the store's website before leaving home, and then download the list to the shopping cart upon arriving at the store."
Right. Let them know you're coming. They're sure
to have a 'special' just for you, their 'select'
customer.
If you need access to VRK/TK type stuff, you get anal probing prior to accessing the restricted area - airgap with a big chunk of concrete thrown in the mix.
It appears you have just defined the Department of Redundancy Department. A bad idea IMHO, as it
will likely not solve any problems but actually create more problems.
Actually, they (Yarro, Mott, Christensen) will use it (10-K not being filed) in
their lawsuit against Canopy. They will say
that their ouster has created the problems
and that is why the 10-K was not filed.
They will say to the court, look, this is a perfect
example of why we should be in charge!
Now, I'll concede that Dr. Ford and Dr. Thompson do sound reputable, but one is an admitted Windows enthusiast and while the other one is a Linux fan who changed his minds, this hardly sounds like a study .
Oh, it was a study for sure.
They studied a bunch of green things, and
came to their conclusion.
Because Microsoft "markets" Windows for dummies.
They market it as being easy to use. It's not
the techies that have the problems near as much
as the dummies that have no idea what an OS is.
They hook up their new box via broadband, and
as far as they can see (for a while), everything
is working, they can surf the net and do their e-mail. They have no idea that their box is
a sypware-infested zombie. Months later, they can still surf
and e-mail, but maybe the machine is slower,
and even then they accept that.
Unless they are really paying attention,
they just don't know. It's not until the
machine is so screwed up that they can't surf or e-mail will they start
to suspect something is wrong.
But, the user did not do anything wrong.
They purchased a product that was marketed
as being easy to use, but it ends up not being
usable. Many will waste money on a new machine.
Microsoft does not tell the user that they
need to do *extra* stuff to protect their machine.
What would it take to get a story like this onto the desk of every Gates-worshipping, MSFT-stock-owning, spyware-infested-Windows-machine-running, Gartner-Group-report-reading, pointy-haired boss?
Oh great, you've given them ideas now.
Next thing you know, the provider will call you,
put you on hold (listening to music that you must
pay for), and you won't be able to hang up!

Man, that must hurt.

And the Department of Homeland [In]Security failed to improve their grade from a F.
Because it's "pr0n" and they probably couldn't find any examples on MSN.

Especially not after MS buys Google.

Not sure, but Nipper is looking into it.
BS. Cable around 40 KBps (Bytes per second) versus dial-up of 40 Kbps (Bits per second).
Even if your cable is busy in the evening, it's still much better than dial-up.

That is the fault of Microsoft, not the user.
You were just lucky. I've seen machines so infected that no matter what you threw at it, is was still screwed up (XP). Nothing to do but a re-install.
Someone found that ROT-6.5 works better.
Ummm, how about a new worm?
They could use a Pleistocene sort option so you can find the oldest threads first.
You're so right. The Mafia is way behind MS these days.
Funny and unexpected traceroutes are indicative of Echelon activity. Especially if the ip addys don't resolve via reverse DNS.
Thanks a lot.
Not from the outside.
You're lucky, you have been disappeared.
The Politics category is relatively new, it may be under YRO for that reason.
Someone like Karl Rove?
Open something, that's for sure. But not open source journalism. He gets paid.
Maureen O'Gara spin on it.
