Apparently we haha when someone offs them self doing something stupid like swimming with sharks with a bloody cut, but when someone does something Darwin like drinking poisoned alcohol, bust out the sympathy cards. Stupid is stupid and it's not going to get any smarter by justifying it.
Alcholism is a disease. Do you make fun of women with breast cancer?
Vista in all its various flavors will likely ship with Windows Defender (anti-spyware) and a two-way firewall, as well as the new User Access Control. OneCare will be an added subscription to the home version (adds AV, backup, system tuning), and Microsoft Client Protection will be the managed enterprise version of OneCare.
Vista has "User Account Control". Even though your user may be in the administrator group, it is not really running as administrator. In order to perform tasks such as install drivers, add services, etc, you need to run the app in elevated permission mode. This is either manually initiated by right clicking on the app in question and selection "run elevated as...", or automatically by the app which makes an API call that brings up a pop up asking the user if he is willing to grant the application elevated privileges. I actually had some problems with this...For instance, I was unable to relabel a partition in my standard user acct in the administrator group. I had to log in as the actual administrator account to do this (which strangely is still created with no password). Window's Defender add's another layer by catching events such as driver installation, service addition, homepage changes, etc, etc, and additionally prompts the user to allow or deny the action. In the current december CTP of Vista this creates quite a lot of popups, but I am sure in the future much of this will be hooked up to SpyNet and answered automatically if the user opts in.
Additionally, IE7 runs as its own unprivleged user.

I've worked at Zone Labs for 5 years. I can say that things have gotten better since being acquired by our new corporate overlord. Any problems have nothing to do with the aquisition.
This is incorrect. Zone Alarm does run as a service...vsmon.exe. When you log out, the GUI (zlclient.exe) shuts down but the service (and more importantly the driver) keep running.
A coworker was able to succesfully debug in vmware by looping a serial cable out one port and back in the other, giving one port to vmware and using softice's remote serial debugging to debug from the vmware host computer.
Yeah, my friends and I were all addicted to crystal about for about 4 years. We'd play StarCraft for a week straight. After about the 3rd to 4th day we'd start nodding out in the middle of games. One of us would have a whole fleet of carriers just sitting at our base doing nothing while the rest of us were getting owned. We'd have to throw shit at him to wake him up and send his carriers to defend us. The sad thing is, for all the fucked up shit a drug addiction can do to you, it was still the most fun time of my life.

My girlfriend is interning at Berkeley Mental Health. You'd be suprised how many homeless people have web pages or at least email addresses.

google for nessus report. Find vulnerable servers w/o the hassle of having to scan for them...

Just install SoftIce, and when the boss comes buy, hit Ctrl-D and pretend you are deep in debugging. sky
