If Slashdot is going to continue to be considered a legitimate source for information, I think fake articles should be reserved for April Fools. Slashdot's stock just went down in my books.
I agree. This guy is not truly asking how to install windows without getting infected. He is making a point that if you don't have a firewall running, it is difficult to install Windows without becoming infected. He knows damn well that the service packs and patches will download and install just fine even with the firewall running.
Mars Has No Magnetic Shield and Cannot Support an

Mars Terraforming Debate
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
As more and more data is showing, it appears Mars once had a much denser
atmosphere that probably supported liquid water. There is also evidence that
Mars once had an Earth-like dipole magnetic field and magnetosphere which
protected the ancient Martian atmosphere from the radiation of the solar winds.
Many researches now believe that without a magnetic field the Martian atmosphere
was simply eroded away by the solar wind.
I am merely a layman on this subject, but it seems to me that without somehow
restarting the Martian dynamo to generate a global magnetic field, the idea of
terraforming Mars will always remain science fiction.
With this information, it seems to me that the idea of terraforming Mars is a
joke. Am I missing something?
I have always been happy with RR qos here in Austin, and it seems that the local RR reaction to code red (II) is apropriate. Even though it's against the tos agreement to run a server, rr is just going to shut off the cable modems of infected users, and not block port 80 for everyone (according to their network status website). Happy day for me, since I run my domain on a linuxbox under my desk:)
An example of code as expression: the t-shirts on thinkgeek and copyleft. Many of them use code as art, satire, or as a form of protest (such as the shirt at copyleft with the 'qrpff' code on the front and a section of DMCA on the back, or the RSA dolphin shirt on thinkgeek).

I will probably do that, but only after I stick around to see if a retraction or apology is issued (ha ha yeah right).

I understand why someone might not agree with that, but why is that funny?

Sedna, an Inuit god? Did they run out of Roman gods? I thought they had a good thing going there. Why mess with a good thing?
You think he'll be good at chasing away dragons, searching for grails, or saying 'ni!'?
So sad. What used to be a mighty empire is now the land of government run spy cameras, tabloids for newspapers, unfair tolls, and Hugh Grant.
...suck it down Gates.
These guys aren't geeks, they're idiots... and they still used the damn cell phone.
HA HA!
Way to go taco! Congrats you two. Best wishes.

Just be glad it's not the other way around, otherwise the people of Atlantis might be Jar Jar's cousins.
