What bothers me is that if there is some kind of systems failure or other emergency on Mir, I can only think of one agency in the world that could mount any kind of a rescue, and that's NASA. So the taxpayers of America get to pay for a multimillion dollar rescue operation. Mir is a decaying hunk of metal. Let it go down in a bright burst of orange and take its place in history.
If there were no viruses, alot of the people @ Symantec, McAfee and Norton would be out of a job. Viruses are a neccesary evil. They teach about security flaws in applications that can be taken advantage of. Viruses may not have legal utilization, but they are important to the development of computer science.
There doesn't seem to be much mention here that AOL owns Netscape. It is in AOL's best interest to make Netscape as pervasive a browser as possible. It will accomplish this by make Netscape Navigator its core web browser. With the uncertainty of M$'s future in coming months/years, it is only a further catalyst for AOL to switch its core browser to Navigator. Thats millions of accounts that will be using Navigator instead of IE.
The battle might have been lost, but the war is far from over. Navigator has one hell of an ally: AOL.
To summarize: $150 billion in market capital. 'Nuff said.

I'm getting really sick of this crap that all people with hi-tech IT jobs have to be loveless geeks with no social graces. It's simply not true.
It's been a consistent story on Wired and other news sources. Now I have Slashdot telling me how to pick up women?
