Hmmm... I hadn't heard of those before, but I do remember the profile virus that was going around (at least among people on my buddy list) about a month ago. It would change the infected person's profile to a link to an image (labeled "click here, cool image" or something like that) that used an IE exploit to install itself when you viewed the image. This used the filename b.exe. I don't know what the image does under Mozilla, since I never clicked the link.
I use WinAmp for.SPC's, but my problem with them is that WinAmp does reconize them as WinAmp audio files, so it does not add them to the library. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I'm no expert on *nix, but can't you use ReiserFS or some other file system that supports ACLs if you have a need for them? I aggree that access permissions only covering one user and one group can be annoying sometimes.
Biometrics are worthless without physical security on the scanning station and computer with the database (and any network links between). They are worthless over a network because they can be stolen just as easily as a password (which may not always be easy, but it happens). The use of biometrics would be for identification if someone is watching you place your finger on their scanner and they had some way of being sure their database is correct. As someone else said: if the person can hack in to change the database of passwords/biometrics, it really doesn't matter what you use for identification.
You plan to block Google so they can't use Google cache?
Or they can just get access to a friend's computer and SSH tunnel a HTTP proxy.
A filter won't do any good unless you intend to block the entire internet.
The problem with auto-replies is that someone that's trying to be annoying can make lots of screen names and warn you to 100% when are you at your computer.
Proxomitron is a great proxy, and I use for regular surfing. Privoxy is a Linux proxy server with very much alike features. Privoxy is probably slightly more powerful, the best feature is probably the ablity to go to the url p.p or config.privoxy.org and change the settings (if that's enabled in the config file). Unforunately, I don't think there's any simple way to transfer filter settings between them, partially since they have slightly different regular expressions.
Oppps, I should have previewed. The WinAmp boards links are here. under the heading "RE: Skipping / freezing / distortion, clicking & popping during playback". Your problem sounds the same as the one in this topic.
That is probably a hardware/OS problem. Your sound card IRQ is being shared with your video card's IRQ. You can check this by running MSINFO32 --> hardware resources --> conflicts/sharing. IRQ sharing occurs with Windows 2k/XP on older computers (older than P4/Athlon XP) with ACPI enabled. This problem is discussed on the WinAmp tech support boards in topics linked from here under the heading "RE: Skipping / freezing / distortion, clicking & popping during playback".
It's when you confuse one sense with another. As the grandparent said, "hearing" something that he sees. I believe Scientific American had an article on it recently.
Hopefully by the time ten years have past we'll have better optical media as well. Either blue laser DVDs (~30 GB) or someone will make FMDs (Florencent Multilayer Disc, supposedly would hold over 1 TB, the company making them ran out of money).
I think there are few teenagers who have parents that are better than them with computers. Any logging software could probably be easily located an disabled by the teenager if put on there. Of course, if they're stupid enough to expect unencrypted communications to be in any way secure, it doesn't really matter where the program recording the messages is.
WinAmp comes with a WMA plug-in, does this work for playing files downloaded from buymusic.com? If so, there's nothing stoping you from converting the music to any format you can find a WinAmp output plug-in for to strip the DRM from the file.
Windows XP allows you to sort files by ID3 data including the band name. But I just have the WinAmp library so I don't care what folder the actual files are in.

On nano you can fix that by calling nano -w. I use nano, so I just have the alias nano="nano -w" in my .bashrc.

Actually, it's Windows 2k/XP's fault for incorrectly reconizing a computer as ACPI-compatible. Maybe Apple would have actually done it correctly...
Yes, there are many possible causes for that problem, and I only mentioned the one that I have encountered.
Odd, make sure you're an administor, I guess.

XBox 5... that's the next one, right? ;)
In case you hadn't noticed, "the masses" don't tend to throw parts together and configure Linux installs.
Because you'll still have non-techie friends who doen't want to run another IM program.

How good the items you get from killing a monster is usually random (within a limit based on the monster difficulty).
Couldn't you just have it never say "invalid username", only "invalid password or username", I know some websites do this on their log-on screens.

I believe the argument is that copy-protected CDs are attacking all customers, although they aren't very common.
