I know exactly what the grandparent of this post is talking about when he talks about the icon scrambling thing. I have first hand experience with this. I noticed it happens a lot when i use win2k suspend feature, however i have not noticed it with winxp yet.
Just out of curiosity....

A question for anyone with such experience:
I assume it would be somewhat difficult to program efficiently for such systems. I don't mean just getting programs to run, but getting the most bang for your buck. Can anyone here confirm or deny this? Also does anyone know where to find resources on the topic of programming such machines (and no, I am not talking about smp docs or bewoulf docs or even pvm docs)?
You miss the point. You are suffering either way. The first being relatively quick (maybe a few hours was exagerating) and relatively painless. However, the other suffering you will endure will last as long as there are still infected hosts on the net; this is the slow and painful type. You may pick your own poison. I know if I'd had a choice I would have picked the first, rather than having my connection degraded to the current state in which it is in.
I hate people like you. You can't give even a little bit to stop an infection like this. Afterall, who is benefitting from this? You of course! How can you be so short sighted as not to be able to withstand a few hours without a net connection rather than weeks or months with your connection only operating at ~50% or less capacity because of the bandwidth shortage? You, dear sir, are an idiot. It is people like you who would say during a real disease epidemic, 'No, don't quarantine me! I've been vacinated!'. Even if that is the case, the people maintaining the quarantine need to be assured of that. They can't just take your word for it. I think this is a great idea to treat net epidemics the same way real-world epidemics are treated: quarantine.
I wonder what kind of overhead this incurs. Afterall, for a number of reasons it would only be as fast as an x86 emulator, no? Not to mention trying to convert register based instructions for use on a stack based machine. But maybe this sort of register->stack translation scheme used can be useful for those working on making a backend to the GCC RTL (register transfer language) for the.NET runtime. Could it?
Anyone thought about starting a project to beat MS there by writing a shell with the.NET tools available (vs.net or mono) with some extensions rolled in... Hey, maybe we could even port it to linux too, u can never have enough shells i always say! Hey come to think of it, i might just start something like this, keep an eye out on sf guys cause here i come (maybe)...

Mine is powered by the hot air surrounding the story.
