Given the brain's ability to mold itself with use, I wonder whether this abnormality is a contributing factor of the psychopathic behavior, or a result of it?
Batman: I'm going to kill you! The Joker: You IDIOT! You made me. Remember? You dropped me into that vat of chemicals. That wasn't easy to get over, and don't think that I didn't try. Batman: I know you did.

Finally, I'm glad that Anand decided to demonstrate that the new AMDs will be backwards compatible with Socket 939 motherboards WITH BIOS revisions. Intel's dual core processors don't offer that luxury, from what I read in the article.
It isn't surprising that the AMD 64 Duel cores are backward compatible. From what I have read the AMD 64 was designed from the beginning to support a second core. The Bios revision is probably just to allow the motherboard to recognize the second core.
Intel had to redesign the chip for the new core.
If you switch to Opera, firefox, Mozilla,etc many of the spyware problems disappear (and a large number of virus problems as well). I know it sucks to have to train the staff and hide the IE web browser. But as someone already said "Why infect the small 5%?"
Most "online" people like the anonominity of the online world, so that can be someone, or something that they aren't in real life. That is what makes IRC, Chat,... so "interesting" to most individuals.
Not that it is a perfect solution (I wish there was...) as I see 2 minor flaws in this system :
1. It introduces a delay in communication - confirmation letter has to be sent and reply received.
2. Not all recepients at the other end are *that smart* to understand "what the hell this image means and what am I supposed to do with it?"
From the other side it can serve as lameness filter;)

What about things like:

I have a police officer friend in Sacramento who says that people through out the database have been randomly flagged by internal affairs. If you come across one of the flagged entries they may decided to ask you what reason you had for accessing the file. If you can not provide a resonable answer; backed up with proof i.e.: We found this guy drunk driving so we wanted to see if he had a previous record. This seems to be a much more efficient (and some how honest) way to do the same thing rather than try and entice people to incriminate themselves.
the robot has been captured with a giant net and then re-released.. When asking some geeks in the area they were quoted as saying "We managed to get linux on it"
Having spoken to afew of my friends who are not "computer people." They had no idea that the RIAA was even doing this. These are also the people who leave many files in the share-able directory. This also means people who might benfit from the dubious security of K++ arn't even getting the products. Which also means that the RIAA isn't going to be getting Geeks as much as regular Joe-Smo.. Reactions?
The reson they do not remove messages is many times the account is run by a bot. Who leads a list that has something like:
Zanthas,
SlashZan,
ZanMan,
etc.
All the bot does is add:
Zanthas@zanthas.com
SlashZan@zanthas.com
ZanMan@zanthas.com
So what ever domains are on another list are combined. So to remove the inopperative emails from the list would cause the bot to have to be far more inteligent. But why bother with that SINCE your using someone else's bandwith.
I hate spammers so much. ((BTW I only know this since I worked with an ISP to find a "Spam Solution" we came down to don't use email.
Don't try to Opt-out then they will know you are real and try to shake hands with you more.
I can't help but imagine huge confrence becoming a game of tag.
This should be modded up. If people realy want linux games, the developers need to relize that. Linux users are realy seen as a small group of people. If they recieved letters showing them that a possible market exists they will develope for those systems.
By media(Web pages, Telephones, TV, Radio, etc) being as wide spread as it is, in the US, UK, and any other massivly Industrialized Nations. Wouldn't a forced standard grammer come around anyway?

So I go back on IRC and trade with people directly. Changes nothing.
The register had a mirrored article from security focus. It walks you through the basic idea behind the book.

How may I best welcome our new Robot Overlords?

Foreign governments will tend to use Linux, and encourage their industries to use it, to avoid dependency on software from the evil USA?
Does this mean I am going to adds like: "If you use open source you are supporting terrorism!" popping up on TV again.
THEN I can send spam with URL's off innocent sites and you can DDOS them for me!! Wahoo!
