My favorite was a few years ago it was getting a false positive on the program I was working on. It deleted the.exe right after it linked. It was very annoying.
Yes, not going out is the way to stop a virus from propagating too far. Unfortunatly in the US a significant number of people have jobs where if they don't work they don't get paid. Do you think the WalMart drones get sick time?. People won't/can't stay home. If the government screws up handling the early stages of a pandemic (ya think?) it'll spread like wildfire in the US.
I can see this being useful for simplifying WAN services if you deal with a provider that charges per port through the firewall (hello SAVVIS). I work in financial data delivery. There are lot's of ways SCTP could make life easier. I don't see it replacing TCP for HTTP, FTP, etc. but for large scale one to many multiple source streaming applications it would be very useful.
I often use del.icio.us and Technorati as search engines now since I get so much link spam from Google. It's especially nice when you're looking for a specific type of software (CMS, Forum...) since you can kind of tell how popular or hated they are.
The other things I dislike about them is the that dang 2 pronged power plug. After you've used it for a couple of months you need to wiggle it just so to get a connection.
I feel your pain. I survived a Anderson infestation in the 80s. It always amazes me that anyone would hire them considering their track record. I put them in the same moral category as spammers and 419 scammers.
The guy in the office across from me had the unplesant task of moving the bulk of the memory of one of our VMS apps to the P2 address space. Needless to say it involved a lot of swearing. 64 bit support in OpenVMS is not all that great.

If it was common and now is mostly extinct rather then extinct. I don't think that would be much of an adjustment.
It's a lot less ugly then the Coelacanth. But then, most things are.

You forgot one:
I do believe in fairies! I do! I do! I do!
I do believe that our biggest export now is debt.
Google has had the same thing for Firefox for months now. Check out http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/safebrowsing/i ndex.html

Hmmm, it was supposed to say rimshot with angle brackets. Must have been eaten.
You forgot the .
It's much more fun to stick it in the microwave and see what happens.
What cold? I grew up there and moved away in 1980. Every time I talk to my sister she tells me how much warmer it is now.
The kids these days. In MY day we had to walk to school in -20F weather. Uphill, both ways.
...because it's a vacuum cleaner!
C'mon it's one of the oldest MS jokes out there. I can't believe nobody posted it yet.
So it's GCC?
It was pretty slow on my 1.42GHZ (I think) with 1GB of ram. You can play it but it get's pretty laggy.

I think it goes like this:
We have layoffs, our stock goes up, management makes money, grunts work harder.
I think that covers it.
Yea, it's a beta from MS and it crashes. It still wouldn't be news if it was a released product. Just more of the same old, same old.
Frankly, there is no news from MS. Just a lot of "Me too!" or DRM product announcements.

I must now drink heavily to kill the brain cells where that idea lives.
I just installed it and gave it a quick test drive. Looks pretty spiffy to me.
Yea, but how do you get the nasty Eisner smell out of everything? I don't think Lysol will do it.
Does anyone else out there think the only think keeping Itanium alive is that cancelling it would cause Intel's stock price to drop?
