A 17yrold guy still in high school that can find the time to own/run a fortune 50 company? As I am in a fun gullible mood, I would like to know who this guy is and why the hell he's still in school. -- too much thought, not enough time. Caffeine IS a replacement for sleep.
If the burglar is annoyed at having very well documented vulerabilities of the XYZ system ignored, why not try something else that _will_ get noticed? If no one's house was ever broken into, why would you ever want to have a working lock on yours? And (forgive my ignorance) does the melissa virus do anything that isn't easily fixed? Does it bring attention to the problem? Hopefully it will, although the local news isn't touching on it very well. Maybe when the arrested suspect gets released for not having enough admissable evidence against him, they'll start pointing to the only culprit left, MS. Really, do you think CERT is going to release an advisory that all office products are insecure, and that the only fix is not to use anything from microsoft unless it meets decent security standards by having no network connectivity and no floppy drive?
Some of us don't wake up until noon on the west coast. That joke was totally spoiled for me. Well, not that I wouldn't have figured it out. I carry a backpack of salt with me on april fool's day.
I took a calc II class one term in which _no one_ passed. I was one of the last few to drop it, and the remaining students all got d' and f's. The instructor did not teach the way he tested (I mean technique, not material), and gave no partial credit. And having a pipe break and my dorm room flooded one term didn't help. And then there was the time my bedroom (err, storage) had grown so much mold from a leaky wall that the entire apartment was unfit to live in. And then there's the physics lab books that don't give enough instructions to please the TA's. Parking's a bitch, the dorms aren't wired, bitch, bitch bitch... I suppose it's all part of the college experience, which is encouraging me to make the world a less sucky place. Vote technocratic!

As someone already pointed out, a nice chunk of the article says incorrectly how much memory linux can address.
