I have another take. Maybe McAfee is trying to grow its reach in China, what with a billion something people and recent fortunes. I have lived in Hong Kong, and telling honkies anything about their society is unsafe will push them to purchase remedies and protections in droves. Same as in any society;-)
1 - Scare/insult the Chinese in a phony international ranking and place them in the worst position. 2 - wait for them to fix this, coming to you for help an buying your crap 3 - profit!
Hey! I think McAfee have finally written a correct algorithm, efficient. Too bad, it's malware;-)
Of course they're not the same, but I just would have been charged with manslaughter easily if I hit someone while driving like an idiot. Today I'm on of the most careful and defensive drivers on the road, haven't got a ticket if five years (moving violation or even a parking ticket), but in my teens I was easily pressured by friends to do stunts, often with THEIR cars mind you, and there are many kids who drive around and smoke pot or drink while cruising around. The thought of hitting someone never crosses their mind; all they're thinking about is being "kewl".
This kid has to be disciplined and put in his place, but not with draconian terrorism charges or some shit they pulled out of their make-an-example-of-someone ass.
How many of you haven't done regrettable shit when you were 17? blind or otherwise, the kid is just being normal. When I was 17 I could hack into the library computers to renew material that was due for return. Sadly, I did that from the library's public computers, as my PC at home was not wired yet, and all my hack did for me was "save" me the effort to get up and get in line (forget the time it takes to run netware utils from a floppy and get to work, all while switching back and forth to a benign browser window every time somebody walked by). if I was caught then it would have been a hacking case.
Paul, your site was there for me when I was a pasty-faced teenager. I found it when I started programming in high school, I taught myself Pascal and some C++ and then discovered your site. The assembly evangelism made a great impression on me, so much so that I wrote an x86 disassembler as my high school project. No one in the school faculty understood it!
Another clean-shaved nerd is John Ousterhout. He does look normal now, but at some point he was very GQ looking; very stylish annoyingly business-like.

I have seen several "adventure" videos where the survival experts remind viewers not to go very long on rabbit meat alone, for its lack of fat, and augment it with other sources of fat.

No, really, this is GREAT news all around and I can't think of a catch. Kudos Atheros!
Then may the Forth be with you!
Great! Another Lisper! :-)

It's funny how the male face is above judgment, much less by automated critical judgment.
His margins might have been "razor-thin", but they also had round corners and would stay safely in a manila envelope.

you should see the source for CLISP; the light-weight and super-fast Common Lisp implementation, now part of GNU.
Is your father "grandpa", the guy who run the x86 asm website in the late 90s?
I was wondering what happened to him. If he is really the guy, please say hi to him for me.
