In the trailer, 1 minute in, when Zaphod throws ice into two martini glasses with two hands, it cuts away and then back to his head lifting up and a second head appearing underneath. I don't believe that in the book it ever said the heads were next to each other??
(Note that I'm talking about the.mov version that somebody linked to halfway down the Fark discussion since the Amazon one wouldn't work for me.)
??SPOILER?? Cheers for trying to make this exploit fit the story, but unless I'm forgetting something, it wasn't the avatar doing the infecting. It was an assassin killing key hackers within the metaverse. The attacker showed a screen to intended victims which displayed 'snow'--like a TV tuned with no signal--which contained a message that crashed the victims brain turning them into a useless vegetable.

And how many minutes a day do you spend reading/.? Let's assume most of us spend 20 minutes off and on per day and that there's 200,000 daily readers. That would give us 1/3 hr * 18$/hr = 6$/day * 250 work days per year = $1,500/year * 200,000 readers = $300,000,000. Whoa!
Crap, add $3 to that for the time it took me to write this post.
Oh wait, don't most of us get our work done despite some minor lost productivity during the day? Never mind.;)
Keep an eye on Gametab's Frugal Gamer and you should be able to pick it up for ~$35 ($40 here). Whatever you pay, it's worth every penny.. it even just won Gamespy's GOTY award and a number of other awards (best character - Dog!).
Deleted files and emails disappear for me as soon as X1 indexes and I believe the default indexing interval for email is 15 minutes and for files is 60 minutes--which is easily changed.
I'm on the X1 beta test team and the latest builds are amazing. I can search through 600,000 items as fast as I type. I have it indexing all email, my local drives, and all directories on content and web servers that I care about. Doing phone support or debugging and being able to quickly recall every email, document or piece of code pertaining to an issue has been an awesome productivity boost./two cents
I completed Descent 1 and 2, completed Doom3, and currently play UT2004 for up to five hours at a time and have not gotten even the slightest bit sick from any of these, but driving the boat in HL2 gave me instant nausea to the point that I felt like I was hungover and about to throw up. I even tried ditching the boat and swimming, but finally hit a point where radioactive waste made a tunnel impassable. After numerous half-hour sessions over the weekend, I finally made it past the boat sequence last night and was able to play for several hours with no problems at all.

No. Most all overseas absentee voters are in the military and they already are almost 100% Bush supporters.
(First, CAUTION, the two MSNBC pages keep crashing Firefox for me.)
Only 500,000 of 6 million eligible voters overseas are in the military. The largest group of eligible voters is actually the 1 million citizens living in Mexico. The two articles talk about overseas impact on the election and how it is definitely not a cut and dry analysis for this election.
It can go the other way too, with voters thinking their guy is behind being more likely to trek to the polls while the voter that thinks their guy is ahead just stays home. I'm seeing this somewhat here in Illinois with people saying that since the state is going to Kerry no matter what that it isn't worth bothering to vote one way or the other.
I picked up the PC version the other day and 99% of the time the camera has been facing the front of my character making the game completely unplayable. Now that I read this article, I finally understand this was simply a feature added so that I can continuously view the jeep logo on his t-shirt.
The parts of the level I have seen are pretty heavily covered in advertising. Even the instruction booklet is half ads.
(In case anyone is wondering, I have tried various configurations of keyboard and gamepad with settings for camera control set to [none] or configured properly. Another bug I have is that I can barely hear the skateboard noise, but all other noises in the vicinity are blaringly loud. The game does seem fun--throwing tomatoes at phil in his underwear, whee--so I hope to get this fixed.)
Researchers often tranquilize even the biggest of land animals to either move them or check their health. And I don't think it would be a huge stretch to call a tranquilizer gun a stun gun.
Search for just Badnarik, dropping the word 'arrest' or use the phrase 'Badnarik arrested' and it looks like quite a few local papers are picking it up. I bet AP will pick it up, but probably only as a paragraph or two in a general debate coverage story.
I agree that they should just fix this instead of pawning it off on all their users, but you should take a few things into account with your numbers. First, according to the linked article, using URLScan fixes this and anyone using IIS should definitely be using URLScan unless they're using Windows 2003 which isn't vulnerable. It also mentions that the vulnerability affects developers using web.config to handle security, which I don't think is very common (but I could be wrong?).
YMMV, but I found a possible fix recently.. In about:config, dom.popup_maximum was set to 20, and I set it to 10,000. It seemed that to get it to recognize this I had to uncheck Tools/Options/Web Features/Block Popup Windows, restart Firefox, re-check block option, then restart again. After I did this, all the various problems that I had in gmail cleared up. My problems included gmail hanging on intial load, new messages not opening (already read messages would open fine) with [loading..] being displayed forever in the top right, and popup features like 'invite new users' not popping up regardless of 'allow popups on this site'.
According to the CEO the awkward name and the Krusty similarity were both intentional.
Valdes-Perez said his company dumped the name Vivisimo for the search engine because it was ``an obstacle.''
``It's a name that is difficult to pronounce and type and spell. Other than that, it's a great name,'' he quipped.
But the new name may face similar challenges, Valdes-Perez acknowledged. Though it is easy to remember, for many people Clusty evokes the name Krusty the Clown, the not-so-kid-friendly character on ``The Simpsons'' television show.
Valdes-Perez said he initially recoiled at the name Clusty, which was conceived by a business partner. But he found it more memorable than the vanilla-sounding names proposed by a professional branding company.
``A mildly negative association,'' Valdes-Perez said, ``will be swamped by a positive experience. And that's what we hope to offer.''
Don't worry "corganbilly", all your fans have always known that you're an arrogant prick..;)
Not that I'm an expert but having dealt with many personalities over the years, I think the fact that you are introspective enough to even think about this and then post it where everyone can see means that you don't have a real problem. If you're really concerned, look up intJ personality types and read a little Venus/Mars and you'll be fine.
A seventh book was planned by Frank Herbert and his notes are being used to write the sequel to Chapterhouse Dune. Judging by the new prequels, the writing will be mechanical, the plot will be uninteresting and the dialogue and characters will be flat.. but dammit, we'll finally find out who the mysterious couple guiding humankind were and what happens to Duncan and Serena.:)

Yes
We also frown upon tying people to crosses and lighting them on fire. Funny how times change.
The difference being that some behaviors, like burning people on crosses, we've learned as a society not to do.

Game 7 had a 76 share in Boston and 30 share nationally. Shrug, never liked you anyway. ;)
I went by the local headquarters and made a donation and picked up a yard sign
I didn't have time to go to headquarters, so I just grabbed a sign from a neighbor and stuck it in my yard.

3. Random theft
According to the article, police said theft is common in the area and stealing one or two things (the amt you can carry) is also common.
