Anyway, I know this sounds painfully obvious, but why don't folks take the simple step of running an antivirus program? I have McAfee VirusScan and I also have AdWatch running full time. Between the two, I feel fairly well protected from viruses and adware/spyware.
Why don't folks just run linux. Antivirus software has become so beloated these days. I run Norton Antivirus on my Windows machine and it turns it into a lag terminal.
How are they going to choose this end user to sue? Are they going to randomly pick an entry from there web server log that contains a referer with linux, and then use RIAA tactics to obtain a supeana to gather your information from you ISP?

Just get one of these stickers from downhillbattle and place it over the stupid FBI Warning.
Explanation of Traffic Signal Preemption (Stoplight Changing)
The normal operation of any traffic signal controlled intersection is designed for the maximum and efficient throughput of vehicular traffic.
Unfortunately, a common occurrence at any intersection is traffic back-up, which can require many signaling cycles to clear. Without the ability to change the operation of the traffic signals themselves, police and emergency response vehicles can also be forced to sit in traffic, thus dramatically increasing their response times to crime scenes and fire or medical emergencies.
Furthermore, even without heavy traffic, a police or emergency response vehicle entering a traffic signal controlled intersection at a high rate of speed places all motorists (and sometimes pedestrians) at extreme risk.
The MIRT is an optical communications system that allows equipped vehicles to alter the normal operation of traffic signals.
An overview of a typical scenario is as follows:
A fire truck is dispatched to an emergency.
The fire truck is equipped with multiple emergency warning lights and a siren... The fire truck is also equipped with a preemption transmitter, which, in operation, is a high intensity forward-facing strobe light that is flashing at a rapid rate - much faster than normal attention-getting lights on the fire truck.
When the fire truck approaches within 1,800 feet (line-of-sight) of a preemption-equipped traffic signal controlled intersection, the preemption detector (normally mounted on the cross-arm that suspends the traffic signal) "sees" the fire truck's preemption transmitter and locks onto its flashing strobe.
Once the traffic signal "sees" the fire truck, it begins to initiate a "preemption sequence" of the actual traffic signal that is different from normal operation.
If the fire truck already has a green light, the light will remain green. Any other direction that also has a green light (usually the opposite direction) will first get a yellow light, then red.
When all of the other directions are then red, and the fire truck's direction is the only one that is green, the left turn arrow will illuminate (if one exists), and a brilliant white flood lamp mounted near the traffic signal will begin to flash. This flood lamp tells the driver of the fire truck that he now has control of the intersection, and complete right-of-way.
If the fire truck has a red light, any other direction that has a green light will transition to yellow, then red. When all the directions (including the fire truck's) are red, the traffic signal facing the fire truck will then turn green, along with the left turn arrow (if one exists), and the brilliant white flood lamp will begin to flash.
Once the fire truck has passed through the intersection, optical communication with the preemption detector (on the traffic signal) is lost. At that time the traffic signal will default back to normal operation. Conversely, until the fire truck passes through the intersection, it will have a green light, regardless of the time duration.
If several intersections are within the 1,800 foot range of the fire truck's preemption transmitter, they will all respond accordingly to the above operational description.
Traffic Light Changer Kit with High Powered IR array This traffic light signal changer kit will cause Opticom (tm) equipped infrared traffic signals to change from red to green. The kit includes all components, instructions, and a high powered infrared array. This unit is similar to what police, fire, and ambulances use to change traffic lights to green!

High Powered IR Array Kit This kit is a great high powered array to use with our traffic signal changer plans. Kit comes with 36 high power infrared LEDs, a 2"diameter PC board with silk screen and solder mask, 4 resistors, and assembly notes. Approximate assembly time is under 1 hour. IR Array is designed to operate between 12-15VDC, with maximum efficiency at 14VDC. Units can be daisy chained. Mount anywhere with the convenient hole in the center. At 24 feet, the beam is approx 3-1/2 feet across. $39.95 (shipping included in the US)
Traffic Light Changer Plans Like MIRT (tm) These plans show you how to build a traffic light changer. Yes, this device will allow you to change a red light to green (on properly equipped traffic control devices). This IR Infrared unit is the same device that the police, fire, and ambulances use. To purchase a kit of parts for these plans, go here. For educational purposes only. $9.95 (shipped via email)
Kazaa the riaa's #1 target resides outside the United State's Jurisdiction. Software is created and released globally, just not in the United States. I hope kazaa refuses to add the warning message to show the ignorance of the politicians that have choosen to be pawns for the riaa.

If napster couldn't filter copyrighted material, how is a million different ISPs going to manage to detect copyrighted material. There are tons of p2p networks, tons of ports that will be needed to be monitored. What happens if the infringing files are zipped up. What happens if I zip up my entire 300gigs of mp3s? Does downloading that 1 file count as 1 mp3? What about the thousands of open proxys. There plan is just rediculus.

Why does a printer need a carrying handle? How often do you move a printer? All the rest of the features look really cool, though...
Why did those old 100 lb TVs have a handle??? Women like to re-organize alot, the handle will help them I guess.

Will the cheese cutter be available on thinkgeek?
they will have to use the gimp.
75% - 80% of the spam I recieve has a from tag of aol.com or hotmail.com I think I should just block both of those domains.
Why not call it "changelog" instead; or is that too close to what the open source projects call it?
What is the ATF's responsibilities? Alchohol, Tobbaco and Firearms are all legal.
There are also ATM machines on ebay for sale.

I hate the prefix e, i, and cyber win refered to internet. I wondered if they pondered the idea of it being called eSecurity or iSecurity.
I wonder if Verisign has a monster catch all for mail sent to non existant domains.
