IMHO, if a company or agency treats our personal information like they do cash, they would be much more careful with it. I would suggest a dollar amount on each piece of information. Name: $5 Birthdate: $5 Address: $5 SSN: $50 etc.
If they disclose that information accidentally or without permission it's just like they lost $5 of your money and they have to send you a check.
I think this would also help cut down on the information that organizations would keep on people to a minimum since each field would be treated as a liability (as it should be).
Surely you've heard that money has root access to all evil?
All evil being the government (all countries) of course. Without money to gain, why would anyone go into government? Oh yeah, power. But how would they get people to put them into government?
Perl is an appropiate tool for this in my mind. I did what you did but had syslog send the entries to a FIFO which the script reads from. I give them 2 tries in 10 seconds or 3 in 60 before they get put into the bit bucket. I then send an email to myself with the IP, times, and usernames. Kinda fun to watch my gmail account get 4-5 of these a day.
The article states that while the investigation has been going on for 4 years, two years ago they decided that there wasn't enough evidence to persue Intel. AMD still didn't drop the complaint so now that AMD is grabbing all the PR they can, the EU is searching (again) for evidence to support AMD's claim.
I wouldn't call this a raid any more than picking up my order from Pizza Hut would be called a "Pizza Raid". Exciting text gets eyeballs.
Today's desktop systems are, frankly, bare minimum crap compared to the old iron. Today's systems are cheap, throw away, crap.
Let's compare Oranges to Oranges now why don't we? Any decent IT shop won't go for the bargain bin at Costco for a reliable x86 server (any OS). High end hardware will provide the same uptime (and yes, clustering) as the VAX and you get the generations of performance advances and yes, good engineering.
Don't look for high dollar engineering in systems where they argue over using $0.01 or $0.012/ea caps. Spend some money ($5k) and buy a *server* system. There is a difference and then compare the uptimes.
BTW, which 6" jumper cable can you get for a VAX for the $299 of today's 'throw away, crap'?
two branches of the government are already controlled by one party
You forget, every 2 or 4 years, two of the branches are decided by voting (you did vote, didn't you?) so they represent a majority of the country. Why shouldn't the third branch also represent the majority? Don't forget, just because someone has an R next to their name, doesn't mean they are controlled by the party.
AMD does have other product lines but the most profitable is flash. They just spun that business off. Sounds like they are trying to protect it from the possible liability from this stunt. Just my $.02
I suspect the 'web developer' just put some garbage on the end of the word doc to prevent the fine Microsoft product (I'll tell you where you want to go today!) from deleting the blank lines.
How many people actually know someone that is a competent driver that has had this happen?
Happened to my wife. She was driving on the freeway and needed to slow down for traffic. The brake didn't disengage the cruise control until after about 30 seconds of power braking. She was about to try the off switch when the cruise control released. With software taking more control of things, bugs are bound to manifest themselves. A developer forgot to disable interrupts in a handler or something else that results in an unexpected state and bang, you're doing 120 on a freeway in France.
If it hadn't already been published that the list was available (Like it's still for sale now that it's public knowledge), this would be a perfect opportunity for Comcast etc to reclaim some bandwidth. They could team with the FBI/Scottland Yard/Interpol (who would be very interested in such fraud) then buy the list with something tracable. If the deal is a scam, follow the money and bust the crook. If it's real, follow the money and bust the crook then clean up the zombies on your network. Basically it's a no lose opportunity.
As pointed out, IE & IIS and such are paid for. Another factor is that despite the weak remedy of the DOJ antitrust suit, MS was still found to be a monopoly. This puts them into a different class than most other software.
Despite the click-wrap license which claims no liability, I think it would be easy to show the contrary and the class action is a good idea. MS is a for-profit company and as such their goal is to make money. They aren't going to write any code unless it affects the balance sheet. Time to make the exploits show up on the 10-Q.

You could save some money on taxes! I think that between your graph and the new unified client tracking CPU time, it could be a great way to document your 'charitable donations' with an associated cost. Just don't mention anything about your FP Shooter habits on your 1040.
I have an 80286-8 processor from the mid 80's on my Linux box's case as a decoration. The chip is some kind of flat form factor that clamped into the socket on the mobo. It is just the size to fit in that little 1"x1" logo spot on the generic cases I've been using for years. I saw it about 3 years back as I was throwing away a box of motherboards (286 - socket 5 - sheesh talk about being a packrat) and pulled it out for fun.
Here is yet another example of how spammers have no regard for laws and where their activity is blatantly criminal. It also illustrates why spam laws will be ineffective.
It is about time for Law enforcement to find them (follow the money, duh!) and prosecute them. If they are hiding someplace that has no effective rule of law, find them and then knee-cap them. Maybe then they will appreciate law-and-order a bit more.
Unfortunately an ISP level port block doesn't stop infection. My ISP blocks 80 and 443 but my Apache logs show continual hits for both Code Red and Nimda because there are infected hosts inside the network.
How they got there is an exercise left to the reader.
Needless to say, IPTABLES is my friend, I don't see many reasons someone from my own ISP would be using my server.
I think ET learned how to talk from it, or the other way around. They sound the same. Maybe aliens planted the technology so we could get use to the way they would sound... Hmmmm, where's my tinfoil hat?
At the very least they should have modified the temp sensor to allow it to get as hot as possible without damaging the motor. After all, a good engineers is always conservative on paper. A resistor put in the right place could have changed the thermistor range nicely... Sheesh, probably Microsoft engineers indeed.

The power factor for the CFL bulbs is actually capacitive so it help cancel some of the inductive load on your fridge/iron/stove/heater/ac.
