Then perhaps someone should release a product called "SpammerAssassin". It might be a nice tie-in with the article on humanoid robots from a few days ago.
The car analogy is a very bad analogy. I have yet to meet anyone that avidly watches car recall lists, then determines a method to exploit the problem, and then enacts it. That would be like finding out their is a brake problem with all Hyundai Elantra's released between 2001-2002
The problem with the way everyone is using this analogy is that they keep using "brakes" as the broken part. Better for the analogy that it's the door locks or ignition that's broken, and the cars are now a much more easy and inviting target for the legions of kiddies that want to go joy riding.
Apple's been pushing the "widescreen" aspect ratio for displays, so this is the shape they wanted, and designed around. It's the same shape as the 17" G4 iMac's.
As a programmer, I really want as many lines of code as possible on the screen at once. That's why I decided to look elsewhere for a display when I get my dual 3.0Ghz. I'm thinking about the Samsung 213T (1600x1200). The Apple displays are beautiful, but just won't suit my needs (and are rather pricey).
I should add that I ran nmap against a few of the systems that tried to log in as test/admin/whatever, and ij each case they were detected as running Linux 2.4-2.5 kernel. Also FWIW.
I've seen them too, and was only able to find a little information on them. According to some posts on the INCIDENTS mailing list from securitydocus.com, it may or may not have been related to some bad passwords on RH 7.2 systems, no more information then that. FWIW.
True. An example of this would be FoxPro (grr, I mean Microsoft Visual FoxPro), which compiles to bytecode. It's extremely fast, but Windows-only. I'm sure the design tradeoffs made in it were different then those made for Java.
I've programmed extensively in both and like them both for different reasons. Whenever I need to access a data source in Java (which is right this very second if I weren't posting on Slashdot:-)) I envy VFP's built-in database manipulation commands.
The wizards were maiar incarnated into the form of Men, and while in this form they had all the shortcomings thereof (except aging), and remembered their spiritual nature only as a dream.
I'd still buy an Apple for other reasons, but quality control is not one of them, public perception notwithstanding. They're certainly no better than any other manufacturer and may actually be somewhat worse (IBM, for example, has had fewer recalls over the same period).
I'm forced to agree. I bought a 15" PowerBook 2 years ago. The internal DvD drive didn't last a year (and Apple wants close to $1,000 to replace it, so I bought a $400 external one) and now one of the internal fans sounds like the bearings are shot. Other then that, I love the machine and software.

You apparently meant "Oh, such bears we were!"
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.
One of these things is not like the others.
A movie based on a cruddy Microsoft protocol? Bah. Give me SSH: The Motion Picture any day.
I love Continental Drift, but then I have a lot of time on my hands.
End it's spelt "courtesy". :-)

Are you accusing Microsoft of spreading FUD? Shame on you.

I'm still waiting for THX parts 1139 and 1140.
Radagast the Brown, a worthy wizard, master of shapes and changes of hue.
Animals and especially birds were his friends. I always imagined him as the inspiration for the D&D druid class.
A *real* munchkin would want to be Morgoth, or Ungoliant.

And that's exactly what it should be: athletes competing, not nations or $%^&ing corporations.
CoC's system was based on that of RuneQuest, also from Chaosium.
The post-apocalyptic game was/is Gamma World, and the one set on the lost starhip is Metamorphasis Alpha.
If your d3 was black with white letters, it may have come from a game called Chopper Strike. I had one.
Obviously we need to reconfigure the main deflector to send a pulse of inverted neutrinios back at the anomoly. Or something.
Err, I guess it lasted a little over a year then.
Yeah, I did buy it new, but it died out of warranty :-(.
