Please back up your assertion that this is "bordering" on criminally neglient.
Analogy: there's a part of your car which could explode at anytime. It's been a long-standing part of your car. This part can manifest itself in different sections of the car or in different accesories added to your car. You which might be able to track down the part(s) if you are an adequate mechanic and you've kept track on where the parts have been put.
You go back to the manufacturer who says, "Well, we can tell you if you have the part, but we're not sure where on the car, or how many different parts of the car, but you should really get the parts replaced or else the car will blow up".
which he calls 'worse then useless' So it gets worse, _then_ it is useless?:)
With 40+ subvariants of the patch, just saying "there's a vunerability on this here machine" without giving the source of the vunerability and the solution to patch said vunerability is dangerous, bordering on the criminally neglient concerning network security.
Even for/. that statement seems a bit paranoid. I doubt that the RIAA would try to entrap people that are legally trading music the RIAA doesn't own when they have plenty of people actually illegally trading music they can go after.
It's not a matter of legal; it's a matter of might.
RIAA can pour money and resources into shutting it down and going after users, as long as they insinuate that there *must* be some copyright material being traded.
The game is ridiculouslyhard and as far as I played it, is impossible to win. I can only assume that this is by design to show kids how hard it is to "defend" against the deluge of pirated software.

Wow... This is brilliant on the part of the insurance company.
1. They allow drivers to voluntarily put this device in their cars for reduced insurance rates.
2. Drivers get used to having these devices in their cars.
3. Now that everybody is used to it, it is much easier to require it for insurance. So, they require it for insurance. With a few insurance companies doing it, it becomes the norm.
4. Before you get into your car, you have to run your shoes/sneakers/sandals through an onboard x-ray machine.
You have too much faith in people not being idiots. People watched "Bruce Almighty" and immediately started trying to phone God when they used a legitimate telephone number on the pager rather than the traditional 555-xxxx format.
That *is* stupid.
Especially, if you're trying to contact Eric Clapton, you have to use a "011-" prefix....
Microsoft is no stranger to astroturfing. I wonder how much the intern was paid for that post.
Gates: Those slashdotters...are they booing me? Intern: Uh, no, they're saying "Boo-ill Gates! Boo-ill Gates!" Gates: Are you saying "boo" or "Boo-ill Gates"? Slashdot: Boo! Boo! Hans: I was saying "Boo-ill Gates"...
After taking one or two pictures of monuments and such, I went to a cafe where I spoke to someone who had been "picked up" by men in black suits off the street after taking pictures of some buildings he thought looked cool. It turns out one of them was a secret government facility of some sort. The FBI raided his apartment, and took EVERYTHING photo related, held him for 48 hours in jail before deciding he was harmless. When letting him go, they warned him to "be careful" because they "can do this anytime they want"
I am just waiting.... waiting.... for a tourist from Russia go to Washington, take a few innocuous pictures, and get picked up by Homeland Security.
Just rewind to the 1970's, have the US play the Soviets and the Russians play the Americans, and the dialog will be one and the same....

Star wars SE isn't all that special/finished
After all, he still have 195 and counting bugs to fix. That means George will do more hacks on HD-DVD/Blu-Ray SWSE++ release.
That's why I'll wait for "Star Wars SE DVD Set: Service Pack 1".
Shaft: Luke, I'm your baaaaaaaaad mother----
Luke: Shut yo mouth!
what part of "fuck you! pay me!" didn't you understand
I'm sorry, I read it as "fuck me! you pay!" and thought Microsoft had branched out into providing escort services....

Yes, they are the SEs with even more differences (Now Gredo and Han shoot at the SAME time!).
...using walkie-talkies!
If God/Fate/Time/Karma/CoyboyNeal has a sense of humor, it's someone named 'Barbie'.
If they came to Deadwood in 1876, they'd be "Bug-eyed C***s***ers!"
Dan, did you try to map the signal to a 3 dimensional shape? A cube maybe??
They did, and results were disturbing.
Decoded, the signal resolved into the datastream of a Usenet flamewar decades ago, culminating in the invokation of Godwin's Law.
... I would have thought it was the death of the longtime SpokesCharacter for Charmin Toilet Paper.
... this isn't the time to rename "Domestic" and "International" sales into "Freedom-Lovers" and "Harbingers of Terrorists". :P

Didn't you read the instructions to close all your applications before installing???
Microsoft products have instructions? I thought all they had were EULAs.

Normally MS doesn't PR their minor patchs. Maybe their Service Packs, but i don't really know. ...except it's been since February since their last IE Culmulative Patch....
Way overdue, even for MS.
If you look at the reflection in Armstrong's helmet, you can see James Brolin running in slow motion across Arlington National Cemetary.
If you make a Nazi or *1984* reference, you lose.
Unless you're a Van Halen fan.
Hail, hail, hail Hailstone..., er, Hailstorm!
