Let's see, a Trojan Horse is basically defined as an undocumented chunk of code hiding inside a program, which does something that you don't know about or understand.
Not quite. A Trojan Horse is defined as a big wooden horse which sat outside the ancient city of Troy, just large enough to happily contain 700 greeks in full battle dress and still leave adequate room for toilet facilities.
Not really. XBoxes sell at below cost, with the profit coming from game licensing.
Buying an XBox doesn't directly result in any profit for MS. Though some might argue that it would be better to just not buy the damned thing in the first place.
That sounds a lot like the lecture theatres where I study. People just won't switch their phones off, even in spite of big "No cell phones" signs.
Next time I'm in a lecture I'll try and appreciate the artistic quality of the phones. Though I suspect I'll have a hard time convincing the professor up the front.
This could have positive implications for those of us who have to use technology such as DeCSS to play DVDs that we legally purchased on our DVD-ROM drive that we legally purchased attached to our computer on which we legally installed our Free operating system.
Maybe we won't be branded as filthy circumventing criminals if this bill is passed.
From the conceptual diagrams it looks like the screen is highly dependent on the position of the viewer, as the parallax barrier forces the left and right images to distinct angles. It looks like a viewer would have to sit very rigid in one spot to get the 3D effect, never mind having several people trying to watch a screen at once. This doesn't look like a goer for home theater applications.

I wonder if they might look something like the holo-pictures in these shots in this scene from the Attack of the Clones DVD.
Or does it have to come from dead dinosaurs?
If so, this sounds like a good way to keep us dependent on fossil fuels for a while longer yet.
*sigh*
From the article:
"I am a freelance writer; I demand the best in mobile computing."
But if you work for Microsoft PR, you can't be freelance now, can you?
Perhaps she was misquoted:
"I am writing promotion materials for Freelancer, a game which will demand the best in computing hardware"
Some kind of rocket scientist?
So how many BTU's of body heat do these microbes generate?
So now do we call them E."Coppertop" Coli?
If the physical structure can be determined by a CD reader, then surely that can be mimicked by a CD writer?
I'm sure Virgil would have approved.
I feel another Darwin Award coming on.

You must remember: that word has been literally picked up and thrown around until it's significance is reduced to literally smaller than a grape.

Gottahaveitnow features and improvements.
Is it just me, or do seeing the words Exchange and Email in the same sentence make you shiver?
I was expecting another word like 'virus' or 'vulnerability' in that sentence.
I thought the XBox was already dead.
I guess I should throw out all my vinyl too, huh?
Yes
Have any other virii in the past done this, or is this a first?
A friendly visit from the language police:
There's no such word as virii. The correct plural for virus is viruses.
Have a nice day.
I guess I shouldn't have included my .sig in that post. I got modded as a troll!
And here I was going for a +5:Couldn't Agree More
Sys admins spending more time reading /. than patching and monitoring their servers.

I bet at least one person just sat there saying "Would someone turn that damn phone off!"

Why does this sound like something professor Frink would create?
