    Ohh, screw you. It's a good way of saying "I'm wishing you luck."

    (numbers do not add up to 100%, since Internet users rely on multiple engines)

    No, that's a lie. I only use Google. :)

    Eww, I can't believe I just said that. I need a shower. I was kidding. Kidding. I use C# for text processing as much as I drive through New Jersey on purpose.

    Never.

    Actually, it should read, "Please shave your wife."

  16. Re:E-Darwin on Proof of Concept PocketPC Virus Created · · Score: 1

    Your bullet item "A" up there is no different from what the parent poster mentions.

    The evolution of this primordial soup is moved along by humans.

    Humans like to destroy other humans too. So we've developed to combat that... war, militaries, technology... all because humans fight humans.

    So humans like to create virii.. Big deal. What it *does* to is attack other humans, in the end.

    (Via their wallet or physically)

    So the evolution of computer systems to combat this attack method is in fact a good thing and a *real* thing.

    If everyone decided tomorrow to stop trying to break the machines that others have worked so hard to build, voila, we'd no longer have technological advancement.

    I'm sure you'd not have a problem driving a Model-T these days no?

    Or maybe that battle-born Jeep? It *was* used, after all, in war.. against... *humans*. And after it's weaknesses were found, it... evolved...

  17. Like toast? on Like A Cat, New Robot Lands On Its Feet · · Score: 0, Redundant

  19. Re:What happens to old bar codes? on Bar Coding The World Away · · Score: 1

    The manufacturers are given the first few digits as a manufacturer ID. By whom? I'm not sure. The barcode, on a discontinued product is still set to that product.

    "Discontinued" doesn't always mean "not sold yet".

  20. Re:Tapes are nice.. on Backup Tapes: Alive And Kicking · · Score: 1

    Companies ship the tapes to an offsite location; in Connecticut it's usually Iron Mountain. A big hole in the ground. ;)

  21. Re:Easy one on Does Your Company Pay For Broadband? · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of the "Casual Fridays" Dilbert toon...

  22. What about the *keylogger* though? on IE Download.Ject Exploit Fixed · · Score: 1

    I keep hearing there is a keylogger embedded within this. What about that? This *patch* fixes the hole, but does it remove the crap already on machines? Is the keylogger still running, sending God-knows-what to God-knows-who.ru?

    Can anybody post a link to somewhere telling me how to make *sure* everything is removed? The symantec site still says this is hardly found in the wild...

  23. Re:Man, this'll be just liek when video games norm on Dept. of Homeland Security Says to Stop Using IE · · Score: 1

  25. Re:Good on Auto Manufacturers Running Out Of Unique IDs · · Score: 1

    Because when I run grandma over and sell my car for parts.. they can put it back together again; finding the dented quarter panel.

    Or, they can find my car after it's been stolen and scrapped on the street for parts.
