The problem with Microsoft is that they have two camps slugging it out. The Raymond Chen Camp and The MSDN Magazine Camp. (This was already covered on Slashdot, but is worth a re-read.) MSDN gang always wants the latest and greatest jammed in the box ASAP--the trouble is, they seem to know squat about real security. And they've been in control for some time now.
And so they produce garbage like IE zones controlling ActiveX security and weak patches to ADO.Streams for years now.
They need something they can rape, divide, and conquer, then you will see a huge increase in space funding.
Yes but what they'll rape, divide, and conquer is the space funding! Bush's smoke and mirrors currently has a zero percent chance of getting anyone to the Moon, never mind Mars. The US system for getting men into orbit is currently called Russia.
Dear mush for brains, what makes you think that I didn't try letting the ICMPs through? (Indeed, I tried quite a few things to convince all the people trying to go away.) Any protocol that keeps trying for days is borken, deal with it--before someone uses that crudware to mount a DDOS attack.
I wish people wouldn't use an implementation/protocol that never never stops pecking at a port long after the user of a dynamic IP address has gone away and handed that toxic IP to the next person.
How many days does it take for that crudware to timeout?
Not shipping to questionable countries is prudent business. A small company doesn't have the resources to go after scammers in Bulgravia, or eat the losses.
But I don't see the point in blocking access to the whole site, possible without any error page. It would be far better to have polite page from the order system explaining that you are unable to process electronic orders from Bulgravia at this time.
From the title, I thought maybe the army was equiping units with them for all those gadgets. A saboteur with universal remote could do a lot of damage in that case. "Sarge, the tank is flashing 12:00 again!"
Why not McGuyver? If he can build an airplane out scrap and stuff from his pockets, imagine what he could do with some Goa'uld parts. (It's inherently impossible for The Professor to leave Gilligan's Isle, so he's out.)
Canada's MOST aka Humble space telescope discovers that Procyon isn't shaking. CBCToronto Star Okay, it's not as fancy as a hundred planets, but it's still interesting stuff.

Does SP2 allow you to define IP ranges for local verses Internet access, with different security settings?
And so they produce garbage like IE zones controlling ActiveX security and weak patches to ADO.Streams for years now.
Besides, we've never had any success setting the Earth's atmosphere on fire with nuclear weapons--maybe we'll have better luck with Titan?

The 2001 book version was set in the Saturn system. Perhaps we'd better recheck that "All these worlds" message again? :)

Except the parts of Macedonia that are part of some place else like Turkey. It's part of the fractal political zone.
How about those zombie boxes on Charter?

Was it supposed to try launch a bunch of pr0n ads?
In some cases, it's the same thing. Paranoia Goes Better With Coke
Don't mess around with an IR-Blaster. Get an IR laser diode and reprogram the neighbourhood.

And now they've got Spock's ears.
Damned right! oops.
You mean, sort of like this one?

Wheels, annoying voices .. The Gnikwah Nehpets!
The best part about The Master was that they always had excellent actors playing him.
The Cybermen could be made a lot more evil. Just take their mouth slots and bend them up a bit at the edges.
There! Smiling Cybermen. How's that?
Is that related to the ones on Digital Pants?
The problem is that they define the motion picture industry as their tight little oligarchy based in "Hollywood" California.
Same as the old boss? You mean that he's an undead vampire too? I knew it!
