    Yeah right. You know for a fact they are running WOPR from WarGames... how else do you think they could have broken in?!

    Otherwise it's just a big lapse in system administration.

    I'm building a web site on IIS now at my company and asked them "so all the boxes have the latest patches, right?"

    Corporate drone: "Uhh, no, well, ya see, our sysadmins are a little behind in that area..."

    It makes me sick sometimes! If companies tolerate this kind of horseshit, it's a lesson to them to have their data stolen!

    The Internet is the biggest ghetto on the face of the Earth. You can't just leave the keys in the ignition with the doors open and not expect anyone to muck around with your stuff!

    Now's the chance to add any words of encouragement to the BBC regarding Ogg, especially since, perhaps by oversight, RealOne (formerly RealPlayer) is now only available for Windows 98, 2000, ME, NT and XP.

    WinAmp has support for playing Ogg Vorbis files.

    Puh-leeze. I've worked in a school IS department before. If we rolled out Linux desktops there'd be a good ol' lynching of the IS department that night at 10 pm out by the old oak tree.

    Hey, yo, michael. You know, it's pretty disgusting how you use slashdot as a pedastal for your techno-political views. Your job is to post news stories. No one really cares about your bullshit---we get it, you hate Microsoft, blah, blah, blah. Frankly, it's getting old. Can you for once post an unbiased article, or is that beyond your capability as a human^H^H^H^H^H droid?

    only go to show what you don't really know:

    That is that the RIAA is a secret Iraqui agency working for Saddam Hussein. What seems to be the RIAA's plan to take over the world is really Saddam trying to take over the world. All that money that supposedly goes to the "artists" is really funneled into an Iraqui weapons program. I mean, what really happens to the artists anyway? Just look at people like Vanilla Ice, Weird Al Yankovic and Marky Mark from Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. THEY were really killed to hide the truth after their money was secretly sent to Saddam. The next thing you know, he'll be commanding all the world's computers using something called "Brilliant Digital Projector..."

    I am so sick of this elitist bullshit around here. Software crashes!! Get it? OK?? Nothing is completely immune, you know, humans write OSes, there's bound to be a few bugs here and there. When drivers run at Kernel Level, and they fuck up, that's when shit goes haywire.

    That's the #1 reason Microsoft introduced "driver signing" in Windows 2000 and XP (and certification before that) --- to avoid shit like that. If the driver isn't certified by them, they're warning you, if shit goes wrong, it's your fault.
