No, a virus is self replicating. They are closer to trojans. But since their end goal is to force ads on you and track your habits we call them spyware.
I have a question, they say that you are charged each time you download from iTunes, is this true? If your HDD dies you have to repurchase all the songs?!?!?
Uh, lots of spyware exploit holes in IE. Claria doesn't (not sure if they did when they were called Gator) but there are certainly programs out there that get installed this way. Some applications might not install this way, but their "partners" install a loader which loads up their software. That's why I've had a handfull of spyware installs on my home PC, my wife used to prefer IE to Mozilla and it cost me time and energy until I uninstalled the IE icon.
That is completely different. Traffic shapping on a per port or application basis is 100% different then prioritizing sites based on who is giving you money. The more fair way to prioritize traffic based on sites is to charge for hosting space on a well connected site in your network. This is how Akamai does things, they pay to have their servers at the edge of major ISP's networks so that their content is closer (faster) for the users.
just change the extension to something other than zip and it goes through fine. In fact you can probably make it.gz or some other extension that winzip and clones understand and it should work (unless the javascript catcher is more adavanced then I think it is).
Unless they have a volume licensing or similar agreements in place with Microsoft covering every computer which has the VLK installed then yes they are out of compliance.
No, they are not. If you have a court order the ISP will provide the logs from the DHCP/PPPoE server which show which physical client or account is associated with that entry. They will even backtrack that to the account holder if so ordered.
Wow, you believe porn leads to broken marriages? Guess you don't have the right spouse or the right outlook on sex. Porn/imagination/whatever floats your boat is essential for a healthy marriage. People are sexual beings, if we try to repress our sexuality then we become frustrated. This leads to either hostility (overt or repressed) or to straying from the marriage bed which is what leads to divorce. Personally I use porn with my spouse as part of our active, healthy sexlife and I would apreciate it if "christians" would stay the hell out of my bedroom and let me enjoy my damn porn!
Why? Because he seems to favor a BSD style license to the GPL? I would look on that as a disagreement among mature adults, not a reason to fear or distrust him.
Setup DOS to run on it. Get the networking card to run on it and then install the Citrix DOS client. Then point it at either a Linux box running an RDP server or some sort or point it at a Windows XP box with Remote Desktop turned on. Won't do you a lot of good without a network connection, but with one you will have the full power of your desktop system. X desktop is possible, but it's less secure (requiress SSH hacks) and is slower.
Yeah, this just proves that MS doesn't get it when it comes to consumer electronics. Consumer electronics are used in the real world. That means they get used on carpet, the get crammed into cramped stereo cabinets, etc. You have to know how the product will be used and design it for that use, not try to design the use to your product. People just don't work that way. I think the more Sony sees, the less scared they are. MS can afford to continue to lose money on the consumer electronics sector, but at some point the shareholders are going to demand that they stop.
If you are "highly skilled" and have no health care it is either because you are a consultant a choose not to carry insurance (stupid) or you are working for the wrong employer who fails to provide healthcare to their employees (stupid for not seeking a better employer). Basically anyone making above minimum wage in the US has healthcare available to them, if not with their current employer then through a lateral move. Failure to obtain health insurance for anyone with valuable skills is a stupid set of decisions on their part, not a failing of the healthcare system.
If you can't find more than a couple films on this list then you just don't like film. Hollywood might put out a lot of crap, but there are enough diamonds in there to pull out a handfull of movies a year which are really good, not to mention all the fun, crappy filler like action flicks =)
Yes, any free number (800,888,877 etc) or premium pay (900) number which you call is given cart blanche both technically and legally to obtain your phone number.
RFID also has the advantage of being passive, it requires no batteries on the device to be found, becuase even if you have one of those little noise makers they have to have working batteries to be of any use =)
Uhh, I said low drag car, not SUV. For instance the Prius has a drag coefficient of.26 or the Taurus with a.29. Meanwhile the F150 has a drag coefficient of.42, which combined with it's large front end means that it is the equivilant of a flat bottomed bass boat dragging a 50lb anchor.

It's VERY easy to overcome this, I did it for my model rockets, and I'd be suprised if the pros didn't have the proper equipment. All I did is require a different patterns (sine, square, sawtooth) on three different frequencies. If all three signals weren't recieved within the polling period of my device then the starter didn't fire. Very simple and very failsafe.
It also very much depends on the coefficient of friction of the test car. By using a big old pickup that already has horrible airodynamics they severely lessened the penalty for having the windows open. In a modern car with low drag the penalty for having the windows open is substantially higher as a percentage change.
If cost of living is half then earning 1/3rd as much might work out. Between being in a lower tax bracket and having lower cost of living you might end up with nearly as much discretionary income. I know when I looked at moving to California from Ohio I figured I would have to make at LEAST $120K just to break even with my $50K/year here, and that was before housing prices went insane. I have a 3BR 1200 sq ft ranch on 1 acre, I paid $140K, in California if it was even available it would cost over a million! Don't assume that people are stupid just because they chose a different lifestyle than your own, we all make choices in life, it's not everyone priority to see as many zero's on their paycheck as possible.
Will this be a RAND deal where you can get the specs under a restrictive license after paying a "reasonable" fee, or will it be a true, open standard. From the ECMA website it says
To publish these Standards and Technical Reports in electronic and printed form; the publications can be freely copied by all interested parties without restrictions.
But I'm not sure that all the standards they adopt have to be so free. For instance MS can open up the spec, but outside of europe they might still be able to restrict access to Open Source projects based on software patents they hold. I really hope this means free, but somehow I'm not holding my breath.
P.S. There's also the issue that even Microsoft might not fully understand the Office file formats. I know that this is true with SMB, the Samba team members know more about the wire protocol then anyone currently working at MS.
A guy who writes FIVE seperate languages just for a book is a hardcore geek. I mean he invented Elvish (including Quenya and Sindarin), Dwarvish (Khuzdul), Entish, and Black Speech. He might not have been a technology geek but he was definitly a geek.

Actually I wish I could remove them from the gene pool for the good of humanity, but that's just me.

I ran a Pentium 133 underclocked without so much as a heatsink, definitly no fans involved. I doubt it used much if any more power then the wrt54g.

NIS+ plus NFS is what Cisco uses. They admin both Solaris and Linux this way. I'm sure there are relevant HOWTO's out there.

The problem is a junior assistant donating their eggs can construed as being pressured into it as part of their employment/understudy.
