Now normal users and expert users will know for sure that Windows is full of bugs, and that they should be afraid of them but neither of them could explain why, just "have faith".
There are precedents where doing this could be plain wrong, like in the last WebDAV vulnerability in IIS, that was discovered after being actively exploited by black hats. Hiding the facts will not stop crackers to exploit something they know first, and will only make victims unaware of what could or have happened with their sites.
An earlier recopilation of most of this tales (without the one about Tom Bombadil) was Tree and Leaf (or at least, in spanish, was "Arbol y Hoja", that can be easily found in bookstores here in Uruguay). Of this 3 tales, the one I remember more is Leaf, by Niggle, is just the kind of tale that remembers you that Tolkien was a great writer even without the Middle Earth.
At my work I filter email virus with Anomy Sanitizer, scaning them with an antivirus and even if it don't detect a virus, renaming executable extensions like that ones, defusing active html and dangerous mime types and more.
Anyway, today I received copies of Bugbear at a rate that only thinked it would be possible only with an internal infection, and make me doubt of how well it was working. But after checking mail logs, it turned to be just mail coming from outside. I wonder what will happen in the next few days, but in some places could make internet unusable.
... to reply to mi2g claims that Linux is more hacked than Windows. Now you have hundreds of windows computers in your near vicinity waiting to be hacked thru port 1080. I think that at the rate of infection of this last worm, in very few days (sunday?) will be the most widely distributed computer worm ever.
You are not forced to use it. And many people could find this kind of things useful, Sometimes I can't remember when I read about something, and i.e. checking in the web, or all my mailboxes, or all my IM contacts history could be hard, specially if I want to specifically find my first and original reference.
I think that this is the main focus of the program, to improve our memory not searching all the internet, but specifically what you saw earlier and want to remember.
Of course, saying that this could be useful don't means that it actually is:) is the search database is full of spam, web popups, sites that don't exist anymore (at least in the original URL) or with questionable content, or boring IM conversations, not only will be very big but also relevant results could be hard to find.
But anyway, a tool (not need to be haystack, could be simpler) where you can tag information as important, interesting, or needed to be remembered later, and maybe annotate it (a web page, an image, a mail message, or a IM session) have a big potential.
The fact that The One comes from the machine world is a brilliant way to write around the fact that Keanu Reeves can't act.
Can't Keanu be more credible showing that Neo loves Trinity? or its just that he must show that is mostly a machine by now?
Also could be a good climax for the end of the movie: at the end of the first Neo showed it can control the Matrix, at the second, he can control even the real world, but the last one, oh, would be great if Keanu finally shows that he can act.
While the PHP and MySQL annotated documentations are excelent, they show how to use the tool, not what kind of things you can do with them. The focus of the book is not php nor mysql, is web development, using those tools, doing specific widely used task also, maybe implemented with php and mysql, I agree, but it cover a lot more than simply what are those tools.
It teach a bit about php and mysql to be more complete and self-contained, but probably the online documentation of php and mysql would be better.
At first, they claimed that IBM violates their Unix Licence by adding something of Unix source code to Linux. That was only something about violating a license, and had very little to do with linux, GPL, or Caldera selling linux all this time. For this point I can't say that SCO or IBM will win, and if IBM should stop selling AIX, as the point could be how was written the ibm-sco contract. As far things were in this direction, they were not doing nothing extremely wrong.
But then the focus switches to Linux, how it could have inside "stolen" code, and how everyone could be violating their IP... and there the things are more darker for SCO. Either the offending code could be replaced, or they validated the code addition releasing that code with the GPL license, or they are plain wrong. In any case, I hope the bribe they got to do all of this is enough to live the rest of their lives because no one will buy something from them ever again
Wiki is a good an accessible way to generate content. The language is very intuitive (not as hard as HTML), and if even it was intended for open collaborative generation of content, there are a lot that provides authentication, ACLs, etc (i.e. TikiWiki provides a good portal system with easy administration and wiki as content generation language).
I loved OS/2 too, used it till '97 as desktop and internet server, and still miss how intuitive and integrated was WPS under Linux (the desktop under BeOS looked to me at least as good as wps, btw), how responsive it was even with relatively low hardware (like playing quake1 in internet in a 8Mb 486), and how much reliable it was.
But for me Linux had its advantages over it, being actively developed, more tighly integrated with internet, more flexible in general, and free (as a beer and as a bird). Would be nice to have something like WPS under Linux (KDE still is not there yet), but in most that worth I think I made the right choice.
Unless something new is discovered, times for anything beyond moon will be high, at least, higher than most would wait.
And, well, you know... most firewalls will reject martian packets.

Review of SuSE 8.2
·
· Score: 1
They offer installed systems or for this 9.95 they will ship the SuSE CDs? because if this is the CDs I think that is against the license. You can install it from the ftp server, have they consent to have a mirror of the distribution, install it in as many computers you want, but distributing copies of the CDs is just the main limitation of the license.
I know that is not good, but if someone complains, I just point that you can download/burn/install mandrake, redhat and more distributions CD images, if someone want suse, well, have to respect what they think.
They have t-shirts for merchandising. One of them say in the front "How do you say superb in Linux?" and in the back the answer for your question: "SuSE.{soo' sah} is {soo' purb}" (not sure how to put that soo in both are with a line over and u is with ^ over, my HTML is not good enough for phonetical writing.
I don't think that it will take market from "normal" monitors, at least where text is important. Also reflection would be a killer thing there. I see it more used as a secondary display, maybe this time 3D graphic card will have well put their name.
I'm also an old-school sci-fi reader, but there are a lot of relatively new authors that have very good books.
I'm not sure what you call old scifi. I put in that category authors not because I think their stories looks like watching 2001, but because I grew knowing them so I don't remember when I first read something from them. In that category I put maybe modern writers like Greg Bear, Samuel Delany, Daniel Keyes, John Brunner or Alfred Bester, and all of them have good books.
For a list of what I have in my bookshelf from not "old" writers and I think that are pretty good, I should say:
Orson Scott Card: is a good one, and I must add to his good books Treason. I don't think that the rest of the Ender serie is as good as the first book, but anyway is a good reading.
Iain Banks: I read from him part of the Culture series, and is very good.
Julian May: The saga in the pliocene is pretty good.
Dan Simmons: I'm not read a log from him, but Hyperion is between my preferred books books.
John Varley: you must read "the persistence of vision" or whatever is called in english:-)
Terry Pratchett: Is not exactly sci-fi, not exactly fantasy, not exactly humor, but is a good mix of all of this.
Gregory Benford: have a good serie on the galactic centre, not sure about other books from he.
You are putting the worst case scenario, but, you can legally (and not being a recording artist nor a movie producer) need huge amounts of space for relativelly common life scenarios with mp3 and divx.
In example, if you want to make your computer to take dictates, voice notes, work as a phone answerer or record meetings, classes, etc, and don't trust enough or need additional data to use speech to text software, mp3 is a good alternative here, and in the long run it could take lots of space.
And for divx or videos in general, I think that with a lot of space and a tv card you can record tv/cable programs to see them when you can, or use webcams to record things (birthdays, meetings, to name a few), or the same for video streams for internet.
Using CDRW could be useful in certain situations, but having huge amounts of space could change how people use this kind of big amount of data.
This kind of things remembers me how I changed how I use internet first from phone to a dedicated connection, and a bit more when that dedicated connection got a lot faster. With resuorces people change the way technology is used, sometimes in ways that don't look necessary to people that don't enjoy it yet (another example, wysiwyg word processing), but after using them, you can't understand how you could live without them.
Why not a proxy with a component that is a node of a distributed search engine?
Something that the i.e. squid cache, and is some kind of client of that kind of network will be more useful, at least for common users (the ones that don't have yet a proxy cache will gain a lot in internet navigation, and will not use extra bandwidth, it will use just what they already downloaded) and for the "search" engine will give another approach of ranked results, giving more results for the sites that are more accessed, not just the ones that are more linked.
It could have problems, of course. Sites not very visited will not be easy to found, making them even more difficult to find, but maybe this can be compensated with an optional crawler.

So you IM client don't have history?
At this point, I'm not sure if I want it to be owned by everybody or by nobody, but at least being "owned" by two is better than by (a bad) one.
Can't Keanu be more credible showing that Neo loves Trinity? or its just that he must show that is mostly a machine by now?
Also could be a good climax for the end of the movie: at the end of the first Neo showed it can control the Matrix, at the second, he can control even the real world, but the last one, oh, would be great if Keanu finally shows that he can act.

Knowing how much trustworthy is Microsoft, the only trojan that it will sucessfully remove will be the one named "LILO"
"... making BAD quality software"
The times of "innocent till proven guilty" don't seem to run anymore, so why make an exception with Microsoft?
That many people? With millons of email sends, they are sucessful when they have a 0.1 % response rate... big numbers apply here
Maybe what you want to do to spammers? Is a BFG9000 enough?

In the other hand, in Linux and Main they have a mostly negative review.
But, at least for me, it installed without problems in the systems I tried, and it looks more mature than 8.1, is not just a package versions upgrade.
I don't think that it will take market from "normal" monitors, at least where text is important. Also reflection would be a killer thing there. I see it more used as a secondary display, maybe this time 3D graphic card will have well put their name.
