password harvesters from Russia, I'd like to dispute the negative impressions of our actions promulgated on sites like this.
Are we phishing for passwords? Yes. Are we preying on the gullibility of millions of computer users? Yes. Are we using the information that we're receiving to access as much cash/credit from the end-users as is possible, probably ruinging their credit and their lives? Yes.
But we're doing it all to fight terrorism. Didn't anybody watch our recruitment movie, Swordfish? We're the good guys. Now give us your passwords and leave us to fight the good fight.
As was mentioned in this news.com article, Dell is unlikely to get many takers. With a variety of iPods from the mini to the 40GB, with music purchased from iTMS and with all of their songs in iTunes, not many people would probably be willing to put in the effort to transition to the DJ15. Not to mention the size and esthetic differences between the offerings.
I've been working with a spectacular closed source test bed for viruses, trojans, worms and the like called "Windows". I'm able to explore and examine so much more of this malicious code as it really functions then I ever have with my OSS tools. It's like they were written for it.
When we can create a truly fertile environment for elements like this in OSS, then we'll have arrived.
those AI robots that started a thermonuclear world war and then grabbed the survivors and placed them into pods to use our bioelectric energy to feed them, and they created this SIM of reality to..
Wait, where is that red pill again? Or is it the blue?
Can any of us really have enough copies of "Willenium"?
What with deranged strangers bursting into your home and smashing all of the copies they can get their hands on (before trying to induct you into their cult and sell you aluminum siding), there is always the danger that you will be without an actual copy of "Willenium" at a vital moment. I find absolutely nothing wrong with the RIAAs actions in this settlement. I just wish I could share in the windfall. I've personally purchased over 15,000 copies of "Willenium" since it's release. I'd buy 15,000 more when necessary.

Gassy neat freaks.
Hawking to streak naked through the Cambridge campus while screaming "I know nothing about physics!" might be a bit more problematic.
Of course, there will be anal probing.
Act now and get a healthy spleen for half-price.
Who want's a kidney? I'm willing to sell a kidney to get this thing.
Note: I didn't say "I'm willing to sell one of my kidneys to get this thing.". What do you care where the kidney comes from?

Yee-ha!
Life can be so unfair sometimes.

and in the realm of iPod clones, those are not positives.
Why can't wives understand that?
Harcourt Fenton Mudd! Make this bed this instance, then get downstairs and clean the living room! And no soda for you! You're already too fat!
That's the robot you need.
Wait, where is that red pill again? Or is it the blue?
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
Please remember this the next time a non-productive "feature" is uncovered.
Or is that an entendre?
Sausages and mashed potato, served at the coronation of James II (1685-1688).
Oops. I hope neither my parole officer or my AA sponser read this.
Robert Frost's parole officer doesn't read that.

not yet up to the 2.5 million a week from the US. Of course, this is the first week and demand ramps up as people sign up and get the tech down pat.
I like to acknowledge my resources.
