And of course you can cite the fact that i'm talking bollocks?
The reason I asked it here is because I recalled something along these lines having been mentioned previously on Slashdot and thought I might get a quick reply.
Since you asked, i've checked, and while I may have been incorrect, I certainly wasn't talking bollocks, as you so eloquently put it.
In earlier versions of Windows, there is a window of time between when the network stack was running and when Windows Firewall provides protection. This results in the ability for a packet to be received and delivered to a service without Windows Firewall filtering and potentially exposes the computer to vulnerabilities.
While I was mistaken as to exactly why this was, the fact remains that, prior to SP2, even if you had the XP firewall installed there was a window of time at boot when the PC was unprotected, quite potentially for long enough to become infected.

Granted, I could possibly be wrong about this, but I thought the XP firewall started after the network interface, thus giving all those lovely worms out on the net a nice window of opportunity to infect the PC while it's booting.
where 'born' is defined as "ejected at full term from the mother's body".
Hmm.
I need more sleep.
When I first read that I parsed it as "ejected at full speed from the mother's body" and my first thought was "of course you need a father, who else would be willing to put themselves in the way of a speeding baby bullet"
Well, I read the article (I know, i'm a little odd like that sometimes:) ) and saw a line which said:
I am sure by now most of you have heard of the new xbox emulator just released, named "Xeon". From the screenshots I have seen, it is very impressive. Halo is apparently playable, although I have not been able to verify this myself.
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
* Source: these words were first used by Evelyn Beatrice Hall, writing under the pseudonym of Stephen G Tallentyre in The Friends of Voltaire, as a paraphrase of Voltaire's statements in Essay on Tolerance where he asserts: "Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privelege to do so too", but its ultimate origin may lie in a letter to M. le Riche (February 6, 1770): "Monsieur l'abbe, I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write."
The phrase which has now become famous was not a quote by Voltaire (although it is a paraphrasing of one of his statements)
Picky enough?:)
(Aside: please, if you're going to quote websites, then can you at least link to them so we know where they've come from.)
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"
is widely attributed to Voltaire, but cannot be found in his writings. With good reason. The phrase was invented by a later author as an epitome of his attitude. It appeared in The Friends of Voltaire (1906), written by Evelyn Beatrice Hall under the pseudonym S[tephen] G. Tallentyre."

I really hope you're now refusing to solve any of the problems they run into because of their continued use of Internet Explorer.

Can someone confirm this?

Aaaagh, run for your lives, it's the wettening!!!
I'm also fairly certain that not many Japanese learn about the fact that Between 1932 and 1945 Japan experiments included testing biological weapons on humans, and attacked 11 Chinese cities with biological weapons.
And at least we'd get rid of all those pesky telephone sanitisers :)

You might be onto something here, although, where you advocate real time throttling of spam, i'd change that to real time throttling of spammers
There, that'd solve the problem

Now i'm not normally a grammar nazi but this is one of those common mistakes that really bugs me:
You mean "I might have been"
Somehow I doubt Mrs. Pepper is particularly happy with this :)

Yeah, I kinda twigged that after I put the reply, I was hoping noone would pick up on that.

Lol.
Look, I even did the Google for you.
Can I keep the hash and marijuana stuffed in your laptop case or do you want that back too?

Well if you're going to keep the hash and the marijuana, can I get first call on any cannabis that you find?
Ha. Ha.

Well I think his morale would have been somewhat raised :) , he may have had some moral difficulties though.
"So, whether or not he used the precise words, at least Voltaire believed in the principle behind them"
Which would be why the page I quoted had the line
"The phrase was invented by a later author as an epitome of his attitude."
And indeed, WikiQuote says:
