As far as I see, MSNBot is behaving itself whilst Googlebot is hungriest - (much as I hate to stick up for Microsoft).

It's interesting that Mirago and MSNBot have taken exactly the same bandwidth in the same amount of visits. Are MS innov^H^H^H^H^H buying new technology again?
Well I like the place too. Studied my MSc in computing at the UEA and kind of stayed. And I live less than half a mile from the venue:-)
They also forget to mention on the website that there's a great pub called the Trafford Arms just down the road that serves some of the best real ale available and also does great food.
BTW, there are also direct trains from Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester, Nottingham and Cambridge, as well as London. You can also fly to the airport from quite a few other regional aiports or Amsterdam if travelling from abroad. It's not that hard getting here.
And explain exactly how the Recording Industry Association of AMERICA has any jurisdiction in GERMANY. Kazaa is based on Holland and the RIAA tried and failed there too.
I have my real information in my WHOIS records and I don't get that much spam, in fact a lot less than a lot of people here on/. seem to get.
I run a legitimate business and I don't see how I can justify giving false WHOIS information. Reducing the level of spam is IMO not a valid reason for falsifying these records.
This is NOT an invitation for/.ers to phone me up though...
I don't think that that is the point. What you're suggesting is fixing a Microsoft problem with a 3rd party solution. That is not good enough, especially when Microsoft make overstated claims about the security of SP2.
The problem should be fixed at Microsoft's end without having to rely on any 3rd party solutions at all. But then so many people seem to just bend over and take it where it hurts wherever Microsoft is concerned.
For example it seems to be standard practice to put a Linux router/firewall in front of a Microsoft Exchange server. When, and more importantly how, did solutions like this become acceptable?
I'm a self-employed software development contractor. I own two registered limited companies which whilst having similar names are actually two completely separate legal entities. The contracts I sign are always between the client and my company, not with me personally. Therefore, those clauses mean jack since I can just use my other company for the next contract if there's any chance of a no-compete clause sticking.
There is only one kind of "white knight" virus as far as I'm concerned, and that's not one that cleans up after other viruses. It's one that knocks the infected computer off the Internet until that machine is fully cleaned. The "white knight" will eventually die a death due to no other infected machines being available hence it won't cause as much damage to other people's networks.
And that's the point for me. Other people's networks. I don't care if some lazy corporation gets knocked off the Internet or DDoSs themselves. It's not my concern. I just don't want my bandwidth eaten up by their infected machines trying to connect to mine.
Also note that I said that under 18s cannot give their own consent. In Sam Fox's case I suspect that her parents gave consent and because The Sun is "mainstream" it was not considered porn, and hence not defined as child pornography.
However, if she'd been fully nude in some top-shelf mag, parental consent or not it would have been child pornography. My assumption for what I've read is that anything classed as pornography performed by minors is child pornography.
Not quite as I understand it (IANAL). The legal age of consent to have sex is 16 in the UK. However, the legal age to pretty much do anything else is 18 (own a credit card, vote, buy/view porn etc etc). I would have thought that anyone under the age of 18 would not be legally able to give their own consent to appear in pornography.
I'm sitting here in my current contract with my MP3 player/USB filestorage thingamajig next to me. If I was told I couldn't bring it in the building I'd be out of the door too. It's as simple as that.
Bottom line, if you don't like the rules, move elsewhere. If you don't mind taking it up that ass every time you walk into work, then that's OK too.
Back before I was running my own company I was working for a company where I was given the same opportunity. I didn't ask any direct questions because the I clubbed together with the other staff of my level and we organised a group Q and A session. Afterwards the interviewee spent 10 to 15 minutes with each relevant member of the development team (small company and we were interviewing for a Project Manager) to get to know the potential boss. Each member of the team had received the resume of each candidate in advance as well. After all that, we voted on who we liked best (subject to final approval of the more senior PHBs). And it worked really well as we got a really good project manager for our troubles.
I bought a machine for my parents and insisted that I didn't want windows on it. They did the deal and I got 100GBP off the price. That's $183.75 according to XE.com. That a little bit more than $50 don't you think?

Because the servers/mirrors are all in places where the owners can flip any **AA the bird... The USA doesn't control the whole world (yet).

There is no adware/spyware in LimeWire. It's also open-source so you can check for yourself - note the .org and not the .com
I don't know where you got your info from, but it's false.

Shouldn't that be:-
if (spywareCount > 20)
{
disableInternetAccess=true;
blowRasberry();
}

Most of the agreed advice seems to involve either using a 3rd party product (including routers) or burning the patches on another machine.
Can anyone answer how you could safely install Windows if you don't have another machine and only using Microsoft tools/products?
NOTE : Sending off for a patch CD is not allowed as an answer since you have to be connected to the Internet in order to be able to order one.

There's an advert on UK TV at the moment espousing that the *new* Chicken McNuggets are made with *real* chicken breast.
My question is WTF were they made of before?

Honestly, Mozilla has all that extra 'email' and 'news' stuff that IE doesn't.
Only if you do the full install. There is an option for "Navigator only". And surprisingly, this only installs the browser.

I said overseas, not specifically Europe... Besides, there are European countries that aren't in the EU, such as Switzerland. Bob
And those FOSS projects just move their servers overseas and give Microsoft the finger...

If litigation is the cost of doing business in the US, then I say leave them to it. They'll soon come crawling back on their hands and knees...
