What about linking to a search engine search results? Infoseek, Altavista or older search engines had the ability to bookmark query results, so there must be some use of that before.
If that can't be found in "normal" web, probably some results can be found in google groups.
remember when someone says that some girl is "just a pretty face"?
Well... KDE 3.1 is more than just a pretty face, and what runs behind have lot more brains (and you can trust more on it) than whats behind the WinXP interface...
There are also more numbers than atoms in the universe and that not stop matematicians to discover some general properties of all or part of them.
If some encoding of board position/game development gives some method of dealing with winning positions maybe you don't need to generate all possible positions, but work in number theory to prove, whatever, that whites always wins or something like that.
You know, sometimes changing how to look to a problem solves it (like printing pi in base 31). I'm not saying that this will be possible, only that is not so easily discarded because, well, unlimited probabilities.
I read somewhere years ago that the amount of possibles 10 first chess moves are more than all stars of universe, and probably a few more moves could cover also all elemental particles in the universe.
But I can't say for sure that someone will come with a shortcut to that kind of calculation. Is that kind of inspirations that I can espect from humans.
I suppose that a cluster of computers can resolve the game of chess in a future, i.e. all possible moves in any game, so with this database (that can have a really astronomical amount of alternatives, but with the rigtht representation of data it maybe will not take all available magnetic/optic storage in the world)
Right now, with some sort of position evaluation engine, this supercomputers can calculate the relevant part of that tree for the match they are playing with a lot of turns in advance.
Its only matter of time till er.. "intuition" will not be enough for chess.
Fortunatelly, there is a lot of fields where pure calculations is not enough, computers may be faster, but we can take this with humor.
2 articles around superbowl (at least for me is not for nerds nor matters neither), and not focused exactly in what will happens there, but in the advertising that will be shown.
Now, if the article was about new movie trailers that can be watched/downloaded from whatever internet place, well, will look a bit more like traditional slashdot.
Afaik it is already dissected and that worm will not do further damage itself (more than slowing down all).
But all those servers are yelling to the world that are vulnerable at least for this, and maybe can be exploited individually in a more er... "profitable" way.
Anyone with a log of tries to connect to port 1434 have a list of hundreds of vulerable servers, anyone with bad intentions have easily material for doing damage.
they switch from a company that makes closed source programs and propietary formats to another. Most of the problems using Microsoft will be still there with SimDesk (with the difference that SimDesk could dissapear and they would not be able to improve the product, work with their own files, etc).
Changing to open source software, open file formats and/or patent/licence free environments would be a lot better.
For me Orson Card, Terry Pratchett or Dan Simmons are "new" authors, even if the books I like from them have 10-20 years. You can even discover Isaac Asimov, and like their stuff, and being "new" for you.
A better competition would be find the Chinese PM email address... and post it in all "unsubscribe" links. Spam will go down fast worldwide after that.
Who got the idea of using Windows CE for that?

He need a brain surgery, but not with this one but one operated by Windows CE.
What kind of devices/information could be available when this comes to market?
Full time cameras? You can even use that kind of cameras as an enhanced agenda. Very good resolution earth maps? some kind of universal library? a personal google? or even a big percent of files shared in kazaa?:)
With this kind of things the future could bring some nice gadgets, like brain upload devices or holographic technology a la Star Trek
Anyway, the read time seems to be very slow for that much information, and even if the write speed is a bit better, could take years (?) to fill one.
And, of course, size of devices needed to read/write in that kind of memory also could matters.
let the remote user to do this. But warn him that he is vulnerable or have that worm or have the potential to became infected, and give some hints on how be secure with his actual configuration (is very easy to say "use linux":)
In the codered times, there was perl/php/etc scripts to put a note in remote user desktop that warns about being infected. Also there are scripts that sends a message to the IP block owner to warn his user or take appropiate measures.
What about vulnerabilities? Killing worms is not so different to the idea of killing vulnerabilities that make that worms succeed. Think in the thousands of clueless Windows users that share his hard drive and connect to the net, beign vulnerable to a lot of worms that spread thru open shares. Probably there are several scripts that put a note in the remote desktop (like the codered warner did before) if the user is vulnerable, but is a bad idea to use this vulnerability to close the share, install a firewall or delete his C drive until he learns.
Not a "fatality" weapon, but an intermediate one, maybe.
With only a menace of lawsuit Microsoft has gained a lot in expenses of other companies (I know a lot of companies that had to be ms-only because microsoft's agents found an unregistered minesweeper in one desktop (maybe not exactly like that, but you get the idea).
In the other way, Microsoft do whatever it likes because almost nobody can stand a very long lawsuit against them
Think in IPv6, how much time since were implementatiosn available, and how much we will wait until is available universally and you can say safely that internet/internet2/whatever is fully ipv6.
Changing smtp to another protocol will be a very long process, and jumping before time to say "I only accept mail from new SMTPv6 servers" will be worse than dnsbl.
Slashdot Mirror
With shared source their policy was "your code is our code and my code is my code".
With patches, seems to be "do what I say and not what I do"

The new features guide seems to be full of references on how better will be in the next release.

if they catch all worldwide p2p users USA government will never have financial problems
you could add
- spreading worms (any attach must be clicked)
- sharing his hard disk with internet
- installing spyware
Maybe Windows is ready for Joe Longkneck, unless he connects to internet.

The game is perfect for mindless windows drones, that give excelent don't-ask-why soldiers.
The place for linux users will be in the strategy field, and soon Army will release a Linux only strategy war game for us.
Considering that this is called "LinuxWorld", what product will you release next for Linux?
Is not so clueless. One of the big improvements of Windows .Net sever 2003 is that it can be actually used from the command line.

The book list slashdot as the distributed denial of service main source?

So you would like to have a penguin shaped mini Linux-distribution business card? :)

That sounded to me too, but then I remember that a lot of Asimov tales are about how that 3 rules can be broken.
