"Hopefully we'll get a few less of that spam now."
No. Hopefully some of the unfortunate elderly people who fell for the scam can retrieve at least some of the hard earned savings they lost to these scumbags.
If someone inserts a backdoor, they'd want to keep it on the hush hush, to a group of select few. This backdoor might have been inserted by someone out of that closed group, so the fact that an attempt was made doesn't exclude the existance of a backdoor in the source tree.
I am pretty sure that Microsoft had a build numbered 2600. An official build. It's pretty curious that they would use that number, but not a hack of the internals.
"To Start Press Any Key". Where's the ANY key? I see Esk, Catarl, and Pig-Up. There doesn't seem to be any ANY key. Woo! All this computer hacking is making me thirsty. I think I'll order a TAB. [presses TAB key] Awp...no time for that now, the computer's starting.
With the new PowerBooks being released yesterday, you can pick up an 867MHz or a 1GHz PB for quite a reasonable price. Price that baby up against any equally equipped intel laptop and it doesn't look as luxurious as it might at first thought.
Additionally, the government would have more power to instill their OS in school, government offices, and perhaps even have power to persuade the public to use it by releasing documents only readable on that OS, giving financial breaks, etc.
Microsoft would in effect be trying to compete with a legal monopoly.
When they do go out of business they'll just cite piracy as the reason. They've a'ready been doing that to explain their decreasing revenues the past 2 or 3 years.
Either way they'll be portrayed as victims and filesharers online as the ones who killed a benevolent organization. Either way, they win.

Apple makes actual products that are in many respects better than whatever is available out there.
More people are getting sick of Windows, and OSX is becoming an increasingly more usable and productive OS, versus just running creativity applications.
I'd rather run OSX than Windows, and I'd rather run OSX than Linux.

From what I understand or would assume, email lists that have real addresses of actual people (versus postmaster@, sales@, etc) would be very valuable to spammers.
If I were a spammer, instead of sending one advert in a worm, I'd send a copy of the infected person's address book back to myself via some free mail account and collect millions of addresses, most of which would be guaranteed to be active.
Then you cash in by either selling the list or spamming the people on it.
Antivirus companies release fixes for worms pretty fast. The list you gather is yours to keep.
Funny, most of the Unix-based servers, firewalls, bridges, etc I administer, I access through a terminal.
What's more, I can use the mouse or pad to, get this, select text, press Command+C and +V to copy and paste, and my Microsoft IntelliMouse to right click, left click, AND scroll.
Oh wait, I just realized. You're a troll and I just bit.
Futurama was canceled well over a year ago. They've been showing episodes that were finished before the show was actually canned. Futurama is old news at FOX. I doubt they'd care about a petition.
Its more like replacing the entire engine of your Chevy with a soupped up, Hemi whatever, V12 whippersnapper engine (now much of a car expert) and expecting Chevy service centers to fix it when it breaks for free under warranty.
I don't think the problem here is lack of energy, but rather procrastination. People procrastinate for various reasons. Whether you absolutely hate what you have to do, or whether you are sure that whatever you come up with will not be acceptable in quality, at which point you blow it off til 1AM the night before, and blame subpar results on not giving it much effort in the first place.
A better approach would be trying to analyze why exactly the author of this Ask Slashdot is pushing work off til the last possible moment.
This book might help him get a firmer grip on understanding the exact reason. It has a chapter on procrastination and seems to address exactly what he described.
The NYT have noticed that google often links to actual articles from its news.google.com site, bypassing NYT's login screen, and they are said to be trying to work out a deal to stop this. I believe this might also apply to Google's cached pages.
Sorry, no link. I think it might have been an article in the Wall Street Journal from this, or the past week.

With the 12" powerbook, you wouldn't get all that much more than a comparable iBook. But the 15 and 17" PBs have a vastly better LCD.
The iBooks LCDs are comparable to crappy XGA ones you would find on cheap Dells. My 15" PowerBook's LCD is incredible.
That's just from experience though. I never bothered looking up who actually manufactures them, or which technology they use.
And for me, the LCD is very important. Afterall, one stares at it all day.
As far as I know, the iBooks are $999 now, and by far faster, and more practical than a toughbook. They also look pretty durable and strong.
Besides, these kids won't be playing dodgeball with their laptops you know.

It is a feature of DHCP, not the modems themselves.

Apparently most missed my cynicism of the need for a 12Mbps connection at home other than to download porn and other copyrighted material.

Hey it works. I bought a new PowerBook just because I was infatuated by the Flury screensaver and the visualisation plugin in iTunes!
> His customers have a 12 Mbps internet connection!!!1
Hmm, I wonder how much bondage and scat porn that comes out to per day. Them Japs are mighty lucky.
