Why, I remember when Canadian satellites used to be suitcase-sized! Soon they'll be cell phone sized. (Luckily, in space no one can hear your ring-tone.)
I once tried 2.6.0 a long time ago, but I experienced random freezes which I could not diagnose.
I tried 1.1 a "long time ago". (11 years or so.) If I'd known that 2.6.0 was available back then, I'd have tried it. (I still keep the Slackware 2.1 CD handy for quicky 486 installs.)
I don't think a mass-mailing virus would have much luck on a music player even if it could run. (Suddenly 452 new tracks appear in the playlist, like "HELLO I AM JOHN ABRACHI OF NIGERA" and "GET H4RDER F4STER!")
Most likely, the player shows up as a mountable USB drive on the connected PC. Unless the worm sets up an autorun for the PC to execute, it's probably just a dormant copy lurking in the player's volume. Someone probably did a full system virus scan with the player connected and found it.
Come to think of it, how does this worm manifest itself on a player device?
"W32.Wullik.B@mm is a mass-mailing worm that attempts to send itself to all the contacts in the Outlook address book.
The worm makes numerous copies of itself in random locations, and moves to a new location when Windows Explorer browses to the folder from which it runs. It can spread to floppy disks and shared network drives under some conditions.
I doubt it executes on the player itself. Can it infect the PCs that you connect the player to for syncing?
Keep in mind that an emeritus professor can be dumber than SCO and they still can't fire him. There might be a loophole for insanity, but only for the more violent kinds.
Could they grab the chickenhead posting his entire Star Trek video collection to alt.binaries.scooter ("pictures of scooters and related items") first? That would make me very happy!
"This my father's PDA. I've upgraded the memory and OS several times, changed the batteries, screen and case. Added WiFi. But it's still my father's PDA!"
They need a catchy name for an activity involving the pens and web pages so that cyber-posers can act cool using it. Wait.. a paper diary that syncs straight to a web page. Fly Logging or Flogging!
Not to mention that the calculator doesn't have an actual display, just the pen talking. That seems awkward when it's some large number. Any bets that if you start writing the number down (with the pen) as the pen speaks it, you'll interrupt it?
Holy fsck! Never ever get on a ship with someone named Violet Jessop! (And if you do, stick very close to her. Or not. Maybe she has the Luck of Teela Brown?)
Hmm... Maybe if we could slip a Violet Jessop onto the same luxury liner as those International Olympic Committee parasites?
The Sun quoted a letter Martin had written to Billingsley in which she explained, "We continually enforce our policy by monitoring all computers. Any suspicious use is immediately checked by accessing the history of the patrons' Web use. In addition, the staff monitors the patrons' use by 'walkthroughs' of the computer areas."
I wonder how extensive the history of patron's use is?

I thought it was an inverse relationship. I figured I'd better get something 250cc or under.
A lot of groups are pretty viral these days.

They usually don't make someone an emeritus professor of psychology until they're rather old. (And it usually means that they wish he'd go away.)

Oh. I feel so followed-up!

I for one, blah blah, Flogger Overlords...

Ascended, maybe, Grown up, no.
You could run a nice scooter with 15.3 kW (21.00 HP) @ 9000 RPM.
Fine, so long as you don't blow up a third of the solar system. (And don't let any Priors borrow it either.)
Should you get an ides and nodes specialist?
Knowing the Addams, the mother is probably Baba Yaga, the Iron Hag.
No no, it is great! Once there's betting money on the table, someone is going to try to fix the bet.
