Actually, a double standard does apply.
Microsoft is a convicted monopolist. Also any misstep my Microsoft affect a lot of people.
I you want to consider virus writers as harmless pranksters, fine by me, but I think there's other people who would disagree.
Right.
Any message starting with begin space space will have the problem.
Any line starting with begin space space will also have the problem.
Microsoft picks up on number one and ignores number two.
Is this what you want guarding your passport data?
Two spaces.

It's a question of how concentrated the information is.
For a lark, sending every single keystroke to something wouldn't bother me too much. When too many people are sending and too many people are looking, it's time to get out of it.
Nothing hypocritical about it. Whatever XP has/does/will call home with is not really known or knowable, not optional, and can choose its victims at will from the unfortunate horde of XP users.
Somehow a keylogger that records everything bothers me much less than something that trys to be selective.
No idea as to any papers, but...
Low note on an organ pipe (that produces no overtones). After a while you are aware that it has been there.
Take a square wave. Lots of high-freq stuff there. Run it through a lo-pass filter. Now the starting edge is harder to pin down exactly when it happened.
Switch from off to a 1v p-p 110Hz signal. Do same through a low-pass filter.
If (and it's a big if) the human ear plus nerve cells has the ability to tell which overtone fired first then it's possible to discern the difference of the inaudible frequencies.
The point with the telephone is that the wire is actually invisible in each of the photoreceptors. When something repeats, it may be possible to pull information from the total that doesn't exist in the pieces.
Suspicious is the right attitude. We're actually pretty much in agreement.
The transform is actually into a frequency cross time domain. A,B,C,D fire at about the same time. The exact sequence and timing are affected by inaudible frequency components. Whether this is real or only in the imagination of audiophiles, I don't know.
You can see a telephone line, which is smaller than the eye can resolve. With "perfect reproduction", the telephone line would vanish.
Actually, I do consider Slashdot to be a credible source of news. Not the headlines. Not the stories linked to. But in the commentary.
The editors don't check facts or investigate the stories. They expect the commenters to do that.
News is a "What happened?"
/. is more a "What's happening?"
One step ahead is my guess. Out of this we get.
1. Don't mess up RedHat. Don't even look like you might. (You get an idea why there is no official IBM distribution).
2. Surprising acceptance by the community of an AOLinux. Simplified, easy to use. Safe and secure. "Dumbed-down" won't cut it.
The thing that strikes me about the deal is that it is one hell of an expensive support contract.
The threat is very real. J Random Luser has a hosed Microsoft Windows box. He can use the vendor's recovery CD and lose all his data. He can install AOLinux which shuffles the partitions and keeps his data. To add insult to injury, you will have a few wise-acres running production servers on AOLinux. (Well it was AOLinux before they started messing with it).
Maybe I'm an optimist, but it seems like without "editorial independence" (good terminology, BTW) for RedHat, AOL would get a lot less than it paid for. I think AOLinux and RedHat Home edition are very different distributions. The primary purpose is quite different, although the stuff under the hood could be 99.44% the same. AOLinux is above all else, simple to install and run. With the Microsoft wormage that has been and will continue to be, it must also be safe and secure with zero effort on the part of the user. It will take a lot of skill and expertise to do that.
Actually, the bandwidth used by music is not limited. What humans can hear is limited. What audiophiles think they can hear is not so limited.
A low-frequency note is shaped by high-frequency components. If a difference in shape of the lower-frequency can somehow be detected, then inaudible frequences still make a difference.
Normal telephone IIRC cuts off about 3.5kHz.
Simple arithmetic is required for Godel's theorem. Not much, but there are things like first order predicate calculus (IIRC) that are both complete and consistent.
Things to make you go crazy are a continuous image of unit interval into 2-space that occupies area, trying to well-order the reals. There are plenty of others.
That's why the paranoia. It's not about making brilliant moves. It's about never making a blunder. That's assuming the players are somewhat evenly matched.
I once played a lot of games with someone who was actually good. I didn't play to win, but to go for complicated situations where my opponent would have to do some real work to assure victory. One game out of maybe 1000 I came out of a series of exchanges a rook ahead and won one.
A bit depressing... You get an idea what secure and bug-free really take. Have fun with physics;-)
Both statements are right.
"The way to win in chess was to become "fluent" in the patterns of chess itself, and that those patterns didn't really have any important analog elsewhere." The analogs are very coarse. Premature attack on a competent oponent doesn't work. At the finer granularity required to win, the analogies break down.
The value of chess, other than in its own right, is to learn to expect the patterns. Microsoft worms have a pattern, starting with Melissa. I think Microsoft is unable to defend itself.
AOLinux would be a different distribution. Use the expertise within RedHat to make AOLinux simple, safe, secure. Keep RedHat making and supporting RedHat Linux for the corporate markets.
Making it simple is not easy.

The best way to get rid of the problem is ridicule. It's Microsoft. It's funny. Microsoft get confused easily. Show it for what it is.

there would be just as many spyware and generally rude apps.
On yours maybe, not on mine.
Rude apps can be niced.
A whole new level of Trustworthiness in computing. Yep, it's a new level all right. Nobody said it would be better. Like the bit with innovation.
Honestly, why can't people just accept that they're NOT special?
Because they ARE special. From the CEO to the mailboy.
You expect privacy with open windows???

Snicker. Snicker.

Designed. Tested. Audited. Coded. Used. Abused.
Only the paranoid stand a chance.
You find one bug. You get all his friends and relations.

Hmmm, this might be good for:
Non-skipping CD players.
De-scratching old LP records.
Reconstructing old photographs.
