But would the black hats really do something to take down the whole net? They might have to leave their parents' basements and find something else to do until it's back up.
I had to learn to code in a language called Dexterity, which I would often describe as "the mutated, evil, bastard child of an unholy union between COBOL and Visual Basic."
Example:
open form IV_Item_Class_Lookup return to 'Item Class Code'; 'Item Class Code' of window Item_Class_Scroll of form IV_Item_Class_Lookup = 'Item Class Code';
I've always said there's something evil about a programming language that can pass a spell check.
Me too! But not by choice. I used to be a network engineer, but I worked for a small (now non-existent) firm in southern California.
The boss who seemed to have the salesperson "yes, we can do that" reaction when he didn't understand something one day told me that we were going to write a billing program for a telco company.

Didn't you see the commercials? They replaced him with Leonard Nimoy. How ironic. :)
(yes, I know it's just a marketing gag...)
I wouldn't be bragging about that "short" answer.
Same here. :)
They're all ledgitimate.
Also it asks for your credit card before you see your score but only so it can verify your identity.
Nevermind this. I'm still waiting for my money from Bill Gates and Disney for forwarding that email to everyone I know a couple years back.
You mean she sings, too?
When talking about email I always teach people the postcard rule, which could be applied to SMS as well:
Never send anything by email (or SMS) that you wouldn't write on a postcard. You never know who's going to see it.

LOVE the sig. Please don't sue me. :)
Do you mean the Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol (HTCPCP/1.0)?
Ain't that the truth.

We were going to write it in Visual Basic...
.NET...
BETA...
Oh, and it's going to run on IIS (ASP.NET).
If you buy it on apple.com you get free engraving. I think I'll engrave mine "STOLEN".
1) Sign up with Canadian ISP.
2) Have identity stolen online.
3) Sue Canada (for PROFIT!!!)
(and the beer isn't very good either)
Dude, you're not supposed to fill in #2.
...from the "yeah, NO SHIT" department...
Maybe they used BOTH SIDES of the paper??? :)
Here is another site which shows the uPC -- with pics.

Soon to be Slashdotted too, I'm sure.
Here is a little more of that...
For non-telco-speaking Slashdotters..
POTS = Plain Old Telephone System
PSTN = Public Switched Telephone Network
It might not have been TW2k2 then (there were enough "space trading games" around), but the story itself is true.
In the late 80's my parents took away the monitor to "ground" me from playing Tradewars 2002 on the local BBS.
Of course I could blindly launch telemate from DOS and knew how to turn on the printer log and start the dial-up.
The printer didn't even have ink! We had to read the carbon copy.
You kids now with your fancy monitors and colors.
Hope for Outlook yet... Outlook 11 beta 1 disables images inside of the message body by default.
You can click in the header and load the images for just that mail if you want.
I play most of my games on my PDA. When the boss is coming, it goes in my pocket.
