well, M$ says it's OK to run multiple PFs, but I was told that it is basically a bad idea because "The conflicts happen as they both need kernel drivers to intercept tcp/ip traffic, and they are fighting over the same resource. One firewall will be the 'big dog', and the other firewall will basically get what the first one allows."
consider this: if the majority of users were behind a NAT firewall / router, Blaster & Sasser and the likes would never have been so successful and widespread...
how is that interesting? it's like saying "all the liberties of democracy are obviously too much for the average human, so let's just take them away from the people."
for average users XP firewall is a good thing
...because he feels more secure with SP2, but still serves as a spambot or worm slingshot...? oh well...
since i can't mod you 'funny', i'll have to reply:
I used to *hate* trailers
well, then just don't download / watch them.
Lacking any sort of self-control
ah ok. but if that's the case, those trailers should be the least of your problems...:)
Aside from that, there's the whole difficulty of keeping a fanbase whipped up for so long.
i think that depends on the fanbase and thus on the quality of the project / film / series. i'll be glad to wait, just as long as there will be more Firefly *drool*

german IT news service heise hosts a security site (in german) which offers a few harmless demos of different browser vulnerabilities. as far as i learned, people will definitely switch from IE as soon as you show them some of the exploit methods. try demonstrating IE running arbitrary code (and explain what that means for your company!), that should make your boss change his/her mind.
youll find the site here: http://www.heise.de/security/dienste/browsercheck/ - i'm too lazy right now to find an english equivalent, but i'm sure there must be some.
ok, but how long ago was that and how prosperous was the world - esp. the US - back then? look around you, how many things with no connection to oil at all can you see?
silly cow. turn your brain in and ask for a refund if you don't use it.
Development of a nano-coated windshield does not logically suggest that they could've reduced emissions by 30% by applying their resources there instead.
it's priorities rather than logic: obviously, those coated windshields and unscratchable paint are more important / marketable / prestigious than protecting the environment we all live from. maybe those 30% are no problem at all, but nano tech ist more fun to play with.
wouldn't want to feed a troll, but this is kinda fundamental: this has nothing whatsoever to do with the japanese, but with people in general. works like spam: it's only there because there's a market / audience / recipient / customer for it. (would spam be dead if noone ever ordered one of those advertized penis enlargement products / "endurance pills" / mortgage solutions / whatever?)
and so few people realizing that the sun can ultimately solve our energy problems - and that it doesn't tend to create more problems than it solves, like most other forms of energy production.
well, how bout installing win3.x? solitaire on steroids and a dos prompt on coke...:)

...where i'm from, that might cost you 30-50 bucks. anyways, i was going to make the same point, but then wouldn't bother. still, i wonder how anyone would effectively want to fine BG - its like no matter what he pays, it's never quite enough to really hurt. once it were, it would become impossible/illegal (not only because of the jobs at microsoft it would put at risk...).
well, if you consider that the question is not when it comes but how well we are prepared once that technology arrives, the subject is all but boring. the suggestion to discuss the matter before it hits us should have been made at the rise of nuclear technology, too. maybe some of the potential dangers won't arise when we have some sort of consensus on basic issues with nanotech.
they went on Google and punched in Fairlight, Kalisto, Echelon, etc.
no, it was a lot more sophisticated than that: they used google.com, google.fr, google.co.uk, google.co.jp, google.co.kr, google.gm, google.pn and all the rest:
One nation under God has turned into
one nation under the influence of one drug

T.V., its satellites links our United States of Unconsciousness Apathetic therapeutic and extremely addictive The methadone metronome pumping out 150 channels 24 hours a day you can flip through all of them and still there's nothing worth watching T.V. is the reason why less than 10 per cent of our Nation reads books daily Why most people think Central Amerika means Kansas Socialism means unamerican and Apartheid is a new headache remedy absorbed in it's world it's so hard to find us It shapes our mind the most maybe the mother of our Nation should remind us that we're sitting too close to...
[Chorus:]Television, the drug of the Nation Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation(2x)
T.V. is the stomping ground for political candidates Where bears in the woods are chased by Grecian Formula'd bald eagles T.V. is mechanized politic's remote control over the masses co-sponsored by environmentally safe gases watch for the PBS special It's the perpetuation of the two party system where image takes precedence over wisdom Where sound bite politics are served to the fastfood culture Where straight teeth in your mouth are more important than the words that come out of it Race baiting is the way to get selected Willie Horton or Will he not get elected on...
[Chorus:]Television, the drug of the Nation Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation(2x)
T.V., is it the reflector or the director? Does it imitate us or do we imitate it because a child watches 1500 murders before he's twelve years old and we wonder why we've created a Jason generation that learns to laugh rather than to abhor the horror T.V. is the place where armchair generals and quarterbacks can experience first hand the excitement of warfare as the theme song is sung in the background Sugar sweet sitcoms that leave us with a bad actor taste while pop stars metamorphosize into soda pop stars You saw the video You heard the soundtrack Well now go buy the soft drink Well, the only cola that I support would be a union C.O.L.A.(Cost Of Living Allowance) - On television

Back again, 'New and improved' We return to our irregularly programmed schedule hidden cleverly between heavy breasted beer and car commercials CNNESPNABCTNT but mostly B.S. Where oxymoronic language like 'virtually spotless','fresh frozen','light yet filling' and 'military intelligence' have become standard T.V. is the place where phrases are redefined like 'recession' to 'necessary downturn' 'Crude oil' on a beach to 'mousse' 'Civilian death' to 'collateral damages' and being killed by your own Army is now called 'friendly fire' T.V. is the place where the pursuit of happiness has become the pursuit of trivia
Where toothpaste and cars have become sex objects. Where imagination is sucked out of children by a cathode ray nipple. T.V. is the only wet nurse that would create a cripple [Chorus:] Television, the drug of the Nation Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation(4x)

well, "seized property worth more than $500-million" would support that argument - first they "cooperate", then they collect their revenues :)
um, but i came here to spend some mod points - d'oh!
so you say it's gonna last forever. reality, freak.

but you'll surely be happy that you have one installed - if you happen to hit a tree or something :)
same with the black box; the streets could become a lot safer, if more people drove their cars knowing that their (mis)behavior is recorded.
