Seriously though, if you are, do. Aaah, no really, there's no rationalisation for what you do and you are Satan's little helpers, Okay - kill yourself - seriously. You are the ruiner of all things good, seriously. No this is not a joke, you're going, "there's going to be a joke coming," there's no fucking joke coming.

I know what all the marketing people are thinking right now too, "Oh, you know what Bill's doing, he's going for that anti-marketing dollar. That's a good market, he's very smart." Oh man, I am not doing that. You fucking evil scumbags! "Ooh, you know what Bill's doing now, he's going for the righteous indignation dollar. That's a big dollar.

Quit putting a godamm dollar sign on every fucking thing on this planet!
"Ooh, the anger dollar. Huge. Huge in times of recession. Giant market, Bill's very bright to do that." God, I'm just caught in a fucking web! "Ooh the trapped dollar, big dollar, huge dollar. Good market - look at our research. We see that many people feel trapped. If we play to that and then separate them into the trapped dollar..." How do you live like that? And I bet you sleep like fucking babies at night, don't you?"
Like previous versions of MyDoom, this one too seems to be listening on certain ports for commands. Ullrich pings each port, but the virus does not react.
That's a neat trick.
I guess they mean "ping" as in "connected to a TCP or UDP port in some manner", and not the usual "send ICMP ECHO_REQUEST", which I don't believe has anything to do with "ports".
I don't run FreeBSD except for where I'm forced to (currently 2 servers;). AFAIK, FreeBSD has better ACPI support than NetBSD, which, in the upcoming 2.0 release is not complete. As far as APM support, NetBSD has had this for quite some time, and it seems rather mature to me (well, just like the rest of the OS;). I'd wager that FreeBSD APM would be just as good, but you'd have to ask someone who actually uses it.
I think you'll find that is suspend, not hibernation, but it's still good. BTW, as a data point for you, I have two laptops (a compaq amarda E500 and a toshiba satellite 1410) and they both suspend perfectly, similar to your Mac (suspend in about 2.5, working again in 3sec).
Oh, and they both run NetBSD - the neat thing is, 2.0 has ifwatchd which will watch an interface for something to happen, and run a script if it does. Mine, for example, watches for carrier to return on the ethernet interface, deletes the route and restarts dhclient.
Use it at work, suspend it, bring it home, keep working. Magic.
(Note to flamers, I sure your INSERT_OS_HERE can do the same thing - this is just meant as a datapoint;).
Yeah. It's just we are putting new coversheets on the TPS reports before they go out, so if you could go ahead and try to remember to do that from now on, that would be great.
Kinda hard to figure out which "fantastic" you mean:
1. Quaint or strange in form, conception, or appearance.
2. a. Unrestrainedly fanciful; extravagant: fantastic hopes.
b. Bizarre, as in form or appearance; strange: fantastic attire; fantastic behavior.
c. Based on or existing only in fantasy; unreal: fantastic ideas about her own superiority.
3. Wonderful or superb; remarkable: a fantastic trip to Europe.
Oh, and lest we forget: n.

Think about the damages on windows PCs. Users are advised to keep their machines up to date and yet a significant proportion of them do not listen (want proof? Mydoom is now in version C and still taking hits at MSFTs website).
Your comparison with "their machines" and the phone firmware (essentially this is the phone "OS"), makes me think you believe that Windows Update can defeat MyDoom.
Actually, MyDoom has fuck all to do with keeping your Windows PC up to date. It is about keeping your _virus_ scanning up to date, and not running attachments that make it through to you. I could have just run and completed Windows Update, but still be infected with MyDoom via the very next email I received and (stupidly) ran the attachment of. Remember, virus scanning is NOT part of the Windows OS, it is something that must be loaded and configured and paid for (usually, unless you go with grisoft or similar).
Your point would be a lot better made if you referred to something like the Blaster or Nachi worm, where the fix was available via Windows Update for several weeks.
...in linux if the trojan wants to start every time the computer boots up, then it has to write a shell script to/etc/init.d, and it can't do that without root privs
It could, however, put an "@reboot" line in the users crontab...
Yes they did - for the SYN flood in particular (and others). But in reality, if you are denied service due to your pipe being full (or the upstream from you), there is not a lot you can do - a full pipe is a full pipe.

I always wondered the best way to go inland - is this the same route you would take brisbane to sydney, or is it slightly different?
I've only ever taken the coast road straight down and into paramatta - egads.
As completely inexplicable as such things are, they do happen.
;)
Not inexplicable at all. You noticed it, and remembered it. It made an impression. Exactly what was intended.
Eh? I'm using Win2K Pro SP4 here and there ain't no "run as..." on any right click menu I can see.
Hold down left shift and then right click...
"Now the BSD world has an answer to Knoppix."
Except we've had that answer for a while - here is the first NetBSD Live CD announcement from 20th June, 2002, by Jorg Braun:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/iso/1.5.2/README.
Note this was the first version - a 1.6 based version was also released (with updated packages).

now if only I could ban DHCP so they'd permanently go away
I'm not following - what does DHCP have to do with kiddies attacking your machines?
I wouldn't call it circumvention - if you could copy the file and preserve its suid bit, then yes.
Yes they did - for the SYN flood in particular (and others). But in reality, if you are denied service due to your pipe being full (or the upstream from you), there is not a lot you can do - a full pipe is a full pipe.
