And I've seen it done before, but against a trojan--subseven. You'd get infected by this trojan thru a wrapper around an exe. When you installed the exe, it'd work, but it would silently install the trojan as well. The trojan would then connect an irc network and join a "secret" channel to announce that the user was infect. IRC networks had scripts that would run, connect to the trojan and automatically disinfect the said individual through a backdoor that subseven installed.
This is nothing new, it's actually a pretty logical thing to do, that is, unless you plan on patenting this idea. Then all the sudden the idea isn't obvious anymore because lawyers say so.
Actually, that picture is real, it was taken when the Sun went out for a few minutes back in 1987. You see, there's little gnomes that live in the Sun that constantly shovel hydrogen into it, and they went on strike. The picture was actually taken by a camera that was really really big and has a funky lens that stretches around the entire planet, designed for just the occassion when the Sun would blackout.

The jewel grade stones will be sold at about half fo what DeBeers is selling thier diamonds for.
I read the article last night, when a friend sent it to me, and I remember them saying they will probably be sold anywhere from 10-50% of the De Beers price. 10-50% of 5 thousand dollars is still a lot of money, and is no way, shape or form, "cheap".
People keep saying "cheap" diamonds. Make no mistake about it, the artificial manufacturing processes (are going to be/already are) heavily patented, and no ones going to sell diamonds for pennies on the dollar when people are willing to pay so much more, they're just going to undercut DeBeers--who will be forced to lower their prices, etc. They may eventually come down to "cheap", but I'll believe it when I see it.

Try booting into safe mode, and see if your machine is stable there, if it is, it's likely a driver problem.
XP creates more heat than say linux sometimes, try monitoring the temperature in XP, using something like speedfan.
There's an RPC exploit that just recently came out (sigh), but upon further research, it looks like that just shuts your machine down and reboots it.
Check the event log, see if there's anything suspicious there.
I hate to say it, but if worse comes to worse, re-install, shouldn't be that big of a deal since your xp partition is basically useless anyway with it locking up constantly. I always keep xp on it's own partition, so I can rebuild my machine in a few hours if needed. I usually end up doing a re-install once a year or so, mostly due to me upgrading hardware, getting a new mobo, etc. I has the nice effect of keeping my install "fresh", since I'm constantly downloading game demos, install other stupid games, etc.
If you do re-install, I'd suggest not using that 3rd party nvidia driver for a while and keep an eye on your machine, and then install it, if it starts crashing again, you knows that's it.

I'm basically with you, who cares where I buy my stuff? I do try to keep my money local, but I'm not going to suffer because of that belief. But not all American products are as bad as people make them out to be.
I think the reason why American cars get such lousy repair rating is because almost every city agency, every police force, every rental agency, etc buys American. And I know most people (myself included sometimes) don't take as good of care of something if it's not theirs, not to mention there's no one keeping a watchful eye out on the car for telltale signs of impending problems that will get worse if not fixed. Besides, those types of vehicles are driven mostly in the city which is notoriously bad for vehicles.
As far as OSes are concerned, use what ever works for you.:)

Replacing SMTP?

Hrm, never seen that before, im2000 has some good idea for simplifiying things, but it seems like it would just be unreliable and unfeasible.
With the current system, an smtp server can go down, and no one would notice because no one was received their email yet, but with im2000, if the sending machine goes down, then no one can read their mail from there. This would create a lot of unknowns, "why can't I read my email?". Also what about people that don't have a full on connection, you don't want to require those people to be connected just to read their mail. Sure you can queue it for downloading offline somehow, but that's going to be much slower than normal because you have to connect to say 30 different servers where your email is hosted.
Also there's the case of somesmallcompany.com sending out a mailer/advertisement to millions of people, because the email is hosted on their machine, their connection/server might become overwhelmed, causing heaches for everyone wanting to read their mail. "Why does my mail load so slow?"
It's a nice try, but it'll never work.
Another thing, what happens when the message is done being read? Is it deleted on the sender's machine? If so, then how will the user remember that they sent the email to check if it's been read. If not, when will the message get deleted? Obviously it can't stay there forever.
The great thing about the current system, is that you just send and forget. If it bounces, you get a new email message saying hey, something went wrong. But with im2000, if the message hasn't been read yet, WHY? Did the user just not check their mail yet? Is there connection/routing problem where they suddenly occurred after the hosting server sent the notification, etc.
No where on Shuttle's site do they refer to any of their XPCs as "cubes". That's the slashdot story submiter's label.
I do wonder why they make HTPC's cubiod in shape. I'd much rather have one the size of an amplifier or dvd player and black that's designed to fit in my stereo rack, not grey and stick out like a sore thumb, screaming "HEY, I'M AN UGLY, NOISY, GREY COMPUTER, LOOK AT ME".
As far as "American Beer" being more watery, maybe yes, American's like that more. Personally I like beer with my meal occassionally, and a stout is too filling for that.
As far as tasting like urine, I wouldn't know, although there are people who do that.
Guess I should clarify what's meant by "American beer". There's actually two definitions of as I see it.
1) Bud, Miller, Coors, the megabrews as you call them, these are traditionally known as "American Beers", because Americans invented/perfected them. The reason they're so successful is *gasp* because a lot of Americans like them. Sure there are other beers made in the US, but most weren't invented here, and aren't nearly as popular.
2) Any Beer made in America.
I of course meant definition 1, you're referring to definition 2.
Yes, Bud, Miller, Coors, and the other megabrews are flavorless, bitterless, little bottles of swill
You just described the reasons that I like American beer. Bitter has to my least favorite taste ever. I just could never develop a taste for most "real" beers. I like a few, but forget anything that's bitter.
Sure miller light is fucking near close to water, but hey, I like water. It's water that gives you a buzz, and there ain't nothing wrong with that.
Most packaged brauts are already pre-cooked (or at least the ones I usually buy), it should say it on the package if they are or not. So I usually just toss em on the Grill and give em a nice singe, no worries. I'll have to try boiling em in bud and onions, tho, that sounds good.
Can you drink the bud afterwards if run thru a strainer? If not, then that's on the borderline of being classified as alcohol abuse.
I finally just gave up and bought 2 120 gig hard drives awhile back. One's for my file server, and the other is in a machine for backups. I have shell script that does a backup of the 120 gig drive via rsync over ssh, so it's quite fast.
Sure my backup machine is in the same room, so I'm not guarding against fire--but if my house catches on fire, my mp3s will be the least of my worries.
And no, the porn doesn't get backed up, that is *ahem*, if I had any.:ninja:
But you can't really apply the same logic. Because we don't have libraries of child porn out there that people could use on whim and only prosecute them if they looked at it.
For instance, there are certain types of guns that are illegal, (automatic weapons), and selling/distributing/owning them is illegal. In the same sense, certain types of porn are illegal, child porn for instance, merely possesing it, even if unknowningly, is against the law. I believe that's how the child porn law is, it's absurdly strict, for good reason I suppose tho.
I was confused too, I not-so-accidentally, accidentally pronounced it as "mozilla".
