Not completely. But you didn't help yourself.
Especially if you are using a software firewall
on the same XP box. Even if you had a separate
hardware firewall, you would still be allowing
your XP box to pull stuff back and that stuff
could be any kind of malware you can imagine.
You need to use trusted software so that you can
trust your machine.
Second, if you ever receive an e-mail that
has the incorrect time (it's hours off but you know what it
should be within minutes), that could be a hint.
That is still some time in the future.
There are many old switches (5ESS) that can't
handle full 10 digit numbers without assuming
that the first 3 is the NPA (Area Code).
The reason is that the switches are hardcoded
and hardwired in archaic ways. To get around
that problem will require newer switch technology
which the telcos may not be in a rush to replace
since the old stuff still works.
I prefer "A", but that's because I want to know
as soon as possible that I will be upgrading
at some point. Yes, exploits may be created
sooner that way, but even if you go with "B",
exploits can still be created.
Either way, upgrades must be done at some point,
and if the machines are not upgraded (and many
won't), the exploit can be unleashed against
those machines.
And that is really no different than what
happens in the Windows environment.
I must disagree. Open source, in particular [L]GPL
is a revolution *because* it is a creative endeavor.
With the attack on GPL and Linux, the **AA, the
software patent crap, DRM, etc, etc, it will
eventually get to the point where all creative
thought will be controlled ('All your thoughts are belong to us') unless the people that are creative
rise up and stop the stupidity by the corrupted
large corporations and corrupted government.
And that *is* happening. The inspiration is there. It's just a slow revolution that you
are not part of and therefore you can not see.
Don't expect to watch this revolution on the T.V.
news, you won't see it there.
Actually, you have it backwards. Real Americans
must always be critical of their government.
That is how the system is designed.
Failure to be critical results in bad government.
It turns out Luddites don't know how to use software properly, so you should look into that. -- The reason we come up with new versions is not to fix bugs. It's absolutely not. It's the stupidest reason to buy a new version I ever heard. When we do a new version we put in lots of new things that people are asking for. And so, in no sense, is stability a reason to move to a new version. It's never a reason.
So, over nine years ago, he never envisioned
the 'Service Pack', eh?
Yeah, that's the ticket, it's a 'service' to
fix their own bugs, err, missing features!
More likely, *somebody* had the foresight to
realize that there would be problems and resistance, but that
if they didn't start the process, it would never
get done.

Obviously, no one is buying it. The proof is that the site is not slashdotted.

Some people have their VM tuned good, some do not.
What the officer saw was that the driver and passenger were nervous.
First, assume it.
Second, if you ever receive an e-mail that has the incorrect time (it's hours off but you know what it should be within minutes), that could be a hint.
Well, it's probably on the list now.
And there you have it folks, a machine that will never be fixed properly.

A better solution would be something like DUNDI.
Clippy is laying low, he had a wardrobe malfunction and he's scared of the FCC.
MS is the way they are because most of their customers are too stupid to know any better.
It sure sounds like the mess the U.S. has become whereby the top overrides the bottom.
They will all trip over themselves at some point, and any code you write can always infringe on some software patent.
Here's a proof that any code can infringe on other code (which could be patented).

Did you misread? That was the point HFShadow was making.
The Man on the Moon has requested that only clean mercury be used.
Maybe. Let's see what Google has to say.
Actually, you have it backwards. Real Americans must always be critical of their government. That is how the system is designed. Failure to be critical results in bad government.
In other news, there is no pie missing.
Sure, but the DOJ doesn't care. And they won't care when it becomes MS-SBC either.

Maybe it is ridiclous, but it's not ridiculous.
Has MS backed away from that idea? I must have missed the memo.
