On black Friday I bought a 1 TB drive at Office Depot, and of course they waved the box over their anti-theft degauser. I asked for a different drive and told them that they shouldn't do that with drives. The girl gave me the look we all have seen, but the boy behind her actually agreed with me and they gave me a drive out of the cage and let me leave the store with the alarm blaring. I've just about filled it up already and It's been working fine.
So what do I have to do to get it?

I didn't see anything in the article about how it actually propogates. It didn't read like a worm, so what binaries (tarballs and RPMs) are suspect? Anyone? Anyone?
Try rdesktop for a TS client. I use it against win2k servers in both application server and admin mode. There is sometimes a problems with fonts, but on the whole it works pretty good for an early release.
Fusion happens in the sun because gravity mashes all the necessary parts together. We humans know two things about gravity: Anything with mass has it, and it bends light. Not much to go on, so that's why we haven't made artificial gravity yet. Since we can't use that to do fusion, we are left to fake it some other way, and we've spent the last fifty years finding out we can't do everything. I'm not holding my breath waiting for it in my lifetime.
Fusion is not as clean as they say. Just because the resultant He-4 isn't radioactive doesn't mean no radiation results. All plans I've heard of for fusion require the extra neutron to be captured by something outside of the reaction. The process of capturing this neutron, which has a lot of kinetic energy, raises the temperature of something basically designed for this and then transfers it to water to make steam. After that the generation of electicity is the same as in fission reactors and coal power plants. The catch is that in capturing this neutron, whatever element did it has been, in almost all cases, made radioactive. This is the same process used to make medical radioisotopes today in fission reactors. So we will still wind up with tons of radioactive leftovers. There is no free lunch.
