    The current unemployment rate is lower than the average unemployment rate of the "booming" 90s

    The 90s huh? During the early 90s the country was in recession, factor that it. The "boom" you speak of really took off in 2000, so don't factor that in.

    I'm not impressed with numbers that are better than our last recession, not including a boom.

    And PS, since Bush has taken office, we're at net of about -500,000 jobs.

    Say someone does come along and writes some code to get at "armored" addresses. What do we use then?

    How bout your email address displayed as a small image?

    Yahoo and other sites have been using words in an image as an anti-automated-signup with good success. They work because it's just too hard to get text out of a fuzzy/obscured image automagically. Image recognition simply isn't good enough yet.

    Definite overkill now, but spammers are always cracking the latest line of defense...

  25. Re:Ok so this might be a weird request..... on W32.Sobig.E@mm Worm Spreading Rapidly · · Score: 1
    Exactly!

    Quantity over quality.

    All us nerds love to scream that MS sucks and is the only one that gets hit with these virii, but come on. Windows gets hit with 99% of virii because 99% of them are written for Windows. Why? Because Windows is so damn popular. If I want the world to be affected by my little piece of code I'm going to write it to infect Windows machines.

    Quantity baby.

    Yes, Windows is less secure than linux, and that is definitely a factor. It's easier to attack MS machines. But don't kid yourself into thinking that linux virii couldn't be written (some already have, google /.).

    All the linux nerds get all high and mighty when an MS virus goes around. But you're mostly enjoying security through obscurity. Frankly, most of the world wouldn't give a damn about a linux virus, so no one writes them.
