Please explain how the DRM features in say, Adobe Acrobat are OK while DRM in Word documents are bad. This will not stop a third party from figuring out the format and allowing users to read DRM docs and edit non DRM docs. That is unless you are really paranoid and feel that Bill Gates is out to steel your brain because you have all the episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer memorized.
The problem with this and all other 'in 24 hours' is that they don't come with the 24 pack of red bull needed to keep reading the bastard for a full day. And of course in the morning you'll have forgoten everything but the title of the book.
Given that Half Life 2 will require PC systems the likes of which we have never seen and that Virtual PC has no hardware 3D support at all I would say its a moot point all around. You cant use Virtual PC to play 3D games, not since the Voodoo 2 went out of style.
Or better yet, they could implant microchips under our skin so that when ever we even TYPE spam the thought police will come by and arest us. Oh wait, that would be stupid. So would signing away all rights to electronic privacy because you cant figure out how to filter spam.
Here, I'll give you the best black list there is. Just type "ln -s ~/.mail/INBOX/dev/null" and you'll never get spam again. Better yet, just unplug from the network.
White lists work in the same way that shooting yourself prevents cancer. Sure it works, but it undermines the whole point. Email is supposed to make it easy to communicate. If I need to fill out a form in order to send someone email they simply wont be getting the message.
If you went to class to learn how to program and only learned how to use Visual Studio or GCC you got ripped off. If you learned how to program the tools quickly become irrelevant and the differences in programming languages is nothing but syntax. This is the difference between a programmer and a code monkey.
This is true if, and only if, the service is running as administrator (aka root). The same is true on Unix if a service is being run as root. So please, explain the diference and why administrator is so much more vulnerable then root. Is it becuase root has fewer letters?
Bottom line is that if you put ANY system unprotected out on the internet you are hackable. Hell, I recall when for some reason Sun shipped SunOS with a cd player set to run as root so it could write play lists where ever it wanted. Easy enough to have it create a play list that removed the root password from a guest acount.
Becuase the TCP/IP stack at and the network card itself can both be over run. It the same reason NAT and segmented switches are not relay safe. If you can figure out the MAC address of the system you can hammer the hell out of it and break things, often allowing you to gain full enterence to the system. A firewall o nteh other hand should do statefull packet checking and figure out if a packet is 'bad' before it hits the server.
How much do you want to bet that the people getting the clue are not the ones who keep putting unpatched computers on the internet without a firewall? Come on, regardless of the platform thats just asking for it.
All SCO source code is available upon request. All requests must be made by carrier pigeon to a small monastery in the Himalayas where monks will weave a copy of the source code into a one thousand foot long tapestry. Requester is responsible for all shipping and export charges.
The SGI hardware carries a license with it. SGI wants cash for a site license, not the same thing. Just get a copy of the CDs off ebay and your all set. If you want to run linux run it on x86, why the hell you would want to run it on an SGI is a mystery.
Spoken like a true idiot who has never spent any time in a studio. I bet you think movies should only take two hours to film and edit as well. After all, professional actors shuld be able to go on set and churn out the scene, right?

Since I allready purchased a shrink wrapped .Net application (Partition Magic) I think your barking up the wrong tree.
Thats like saying a person who shot another person didn't fire the gun but just depressed a small metal widget.
This guy released a virus that caused damage, he did not just perform some hex editing.
There has been conclusive proof of the DoS attacks ever since there has been conclusive proof that there isn't SCO IP in Linux.
At last count there where about 100 Tetris like games. Are you realy sugjesting we need another?
Sure, just bring in Bob Vila to do a segment called "This old OS".

If that where the case I could have gotten off the black list. twice.

I'll sell you a SGI Indy for 25$. Full 64bit at a fantastic 133mhz.
Bingo. And lets not forget that if not for outlook we would have our PHB launching attachments named rootme.sh.

Don't like to say certain words eh? We'll just see what me and my PROM burner can do about that.
A good example of paranoia is when you think that people will do things that are detrimental to their own goals just to get you.

How else are you suposed to use the monitoring server as a Quake lan party host?
You've never heard of OCR?

Well I think you could get IRIX to run on it. Then you can run a cool desktop like OpenMagic.
