This is like saying you can embed a network-aware virus inside an image file. Even if such exploit is feasible (I really doubt it), the worm could easily be stripped on the fly by each p2p client or by the mp3 player. Also, I'd like to point out:
- If the worm exits, one could reverse engineer it and point it back towards the RIAA's machines and DOS their servers. It would give them a taste of their own medecine (DMCA).
- may be it's time to switch to OGG?
Arthur Andersen was full of these Certified, official people. Yet, they screwed their customers, employees, broke the law, cost investors billions.
I think everyone gets the idea. Why should it be any different in our industry?

At work, WROX books usually sit on the desks of people that are the most clueless. Their size is often ridiculous. Like trying to say: see, it's a really big book, I know a lot. Finally, I find their covers really really bad. I understand how flattering it must be for the authors, but it's of the worst taste. It's not Oprah magazine, people. It's a tech book!
Wanna try some cool books: try out New Riders. I own 2 of their 'Essential Reference' titles and they're both excellents. The Jakob Nielsen book is also a classic. Give them a shot.
It's that simple. Once the federal government starts to get half a million reports of spam a day, may be someone will realize that it's costing a lot of money to a lot of people and maybe Congress will act.
Create a Bot that randomly connects to a list of well-formed URLs. Of course, this will increase net traffic significantly but it will make deciphering logs a lot harder for people spying on you.
My wife and I go to the supermarket. We each get a cart. We call mine 'groceries', we call hers 'this weekend's picnic'. At checkout, we charge both carts to my credit card.
Customer service is inconsistent at times but the price is great. I thought they would never survice the dot.com bubble burst but they did! More power to them. They're all Linux based, with PHP and Python, basic mail and DB (MySQL maybe?). They have different packages. Check them out. NoMonthlyFees.com.
I must have been the only person in the audience that liked the movie, and so what? I think this movie is one of the the greatest. It is slow on purpose: it wants to make you think about what is happening on the screen: A man has lost his wife and after being sent to space, thinks she is being returned to him in the form of a real person, not just in dreams. He is forced to choose between parting ways *again* with his wife or staying in space on the ship but possibly going mad as the situation is not as simple as it may seem: this 'new' creature might have really been sent out there to destroy him. It's a movie about death, identity, guilt, longing for a lost one. I think it's quite remarkable and I'm glad Steven Soderberg & James Cameron had the courage to take a chance by making a movie that goes so much against the usual Hollywood mold. So what it's slow? The cinematography combined with the music create truly eerie moments. It is nice to be able this kind of stuff at the Cineplex and not just at the small art theater once in a while! So there it is folks: if you like Blade Runner, Gattaca, music like Brian Eno's or simply want to take a chance, go see this movie! I think you'll like it.

Their only purpose is to justify the purchase of books & training programs in large corporations. Small, well-run companies know better than waste time on these things. Instead, they should focus on: people + skills + motivation + ethics.
Tt just won't support a complex GUI: no drag & drop, no modal windows, stateless client model, weak widget set, poor window-to-window interaction, poor browser-to-OS interaction, etc.

I started playing with it a week ago and now I'm thinking about abandonning RH for FreeBSD: so far, I've had nothing but good experiences with it:
- all the stuff I like (bash, Python, Java, PostGres, webmin) is there
- KDE is fast, very fast!
- boot time is amazingly fast
- the Ports system is *amazing*
what's not to like about it?
I find most of the new additions annoying. I think Guido & crew are adding these things to avoid people fleeing to other languages. Ruby comes to mind. It's too bad, I like Python mostly for its simplicity and elegance.

LimeWire has a built-in throttle capability (in case that's the app you're using).

He's a free man, he can do anything he wants with his DVD, as long as it's legal. Which it was. End of story.

What's the difference between sorting out 3,000 resumes and 3,000 irrelevant google links? 'Nuff said!

Actually, Sybase had Java stored procedures first.
I'm amazed that this post hasn't been modded as 'Flamebait' yet. Or 'Funny' may be?

Does this mean that you can run the 1.4 JDK if you have the ABI support for Linux enabled?
