Europe and Japan has trains which go that fast. The Bullet trains cruise at 200 kph, about 125 MPH, the french TGV at about 300 kph, and they are working on the next generation, planned for 360 kph. The world record is 515.3 kph, set in 1990 outside of Paris.
Actually the last passenger carrying zeppelin was the Hindenburg's sister ship, the Graf Zeppelin II, number LZ-130, which was under construction at the time of the Hindenburg accident (Hindenburg was LZ-129), and completed in 1938. They were never paying passengers, the German Air Ministry never allowed this, and with the advance of war most countries forbid the Germans permission to fly the ship over their soil.
Both the Hindenburg & the Graf Zeppelin II were primarily designed for helium lifting, but as the only supplier of helium at the time was the US, and the US refused to sell helium to the Germans, hydrogen had to be used. The best theory about the fire is that it was the doping solution applied to the canvas to waterpoof, which had a very low flashpoint. The Graf Zeppelin II had a different doping solution, using bronze insteal of aluminum, and also conductive connections between the skin and the body, allowing any static charges to be equalized without sparks.
The Graf Zeppelin II was scrapped in 1940, due to the war's requirement for materials, after over a million miles of flight.
Of course the Morris worm was not the first worm. The Christmas Tree Exec was December 1987, bringing down both BITNET and the IBM network, almost a year before the Morris worm. The Christmas Tree Exec was not self spreading however, it relied on users executing the email attachment- very similar to the I Love You and successors. I belive the George Santayana had some comments on this problem.
I'm not familiar with the TRS implementation, however no BASIC I've seen has POOP or PUKE. Also, POKE requires 2 paramaters, the memory address and the value to place in that memory address, both of which should be integers, not strings, and PEEK is a function, which should be assigned to a variable, eg RES%=PEEK(ADDR%).
you mean www.stand.org.uk.. www.stand.org is a US based charity, nothing to do with the UK one.

Murdoch has shown a keen eye for avoiding wrong technologies. When the offical 'right' way to do DTH broadcast was D-Mac, he launched using PAL, and wiped the D-Mac off the table. Now when the 'right' way to do stuff if HDTV, he's sticking to MPEG2 PAL. It's the KISS principle in action.

While they have the ability, unfortunatly it's almost impossible to use them properly, at least using NT and Office 97. In order to run Office 97 on NT, your NT system directory must be world writable. Once you allow this, then any user can replace any DLL, and get any privlage they want.
Encoding by changing from one state to another instead of directly encoding the bits in the state is actually quite a common way to encode data, it's called 'zero crossing', and it's done because sometimes it's easier to detect a change in a state than tell exactly what the state is. T1 lines and X10 use it too.
Buffer overflow's happen more to people who program in certain styles. If you have a methodology of good design, limited privilages, and isolation between unrelated modules, then you are not going have a problem with buffer overflows. On the other hand, if you have a methodology of hot programming (ie without design), then testing to detect the bugs, then you are going to be suspectible to this sort of bug.
And Cringely is just reposting Gibson's alert, and Gibson has shown himself to be clueless.
As The register pointed out, if the clock is misset so that it's in infection mode, then it's just going to find that the servers it infects AREN'T in infection mode, so the whole mis-set clock thing is a red herring.
Yes, but this is still symptomatic of the original problem - originally SMTP servers normally acted as relays, and it's only the more recent versions which don't by default.
They exist because up until the early 90's, almost all SMTP servers were open relays. It wasn't until spam started that the MTA authors started putting in anti-relay code, and people started installing the new versions.
Unfortunatly, there are always systems where the sysadmin hasn't updated for years, because it's not causing him any problems.
Actually it wasn't jammed, the coins fell into an empty milk carton, and the coins overflowed the carton, and landed on the PCB. The excellent Pong Story website has all the details.
I don't think anyone who uses their authority 'thinks' they're misusing it. Even J Edger probably thought he was in the clear when he dug up dirt on the powerful to protect his position, or when he spied on political organizations he disagreed with. Today, few would agree with his actions.

Also you can place compact flash in a carrier, and put it into a standard PCMCIA slot.

Wrong. Any time you swear to an afidavit you are doing so on the penalty of perjury.

This reminds me of the first computer misuse act in the UK. One possible reading of it made the changing of the time on a digital watch a crime.

Ships are under the legistation of their home port, which is why they always have that painted on their bow, and have to fly the flag of the country.

No, he's a proponent of promoting Steve Gibson. One year it might be polymorphic viruses are going to kill all our computers, the next Linux is going to kill the internet.
Actually no you wouldn't. The coca cola secret formula was published in the book "Big Secrets: The Uncensored Truth About All Sorts of Stuff You Are Never Supposed to Know", by William Poundstone, along with the blend of 11 secret herbs & spices, and other 'secrets'.
