Or you can just set Outlook 2003 to not parse html and show it as code instead. You can also tell it not to download images by default which prevents another possible 'notifier'
I agree with you wholeheartedly. I also think that MS should set the kill bit on all known varients of CWS in XP SP2 and should do something to keep those programs from being so darn hard to remove. A program that can automatically reregister itself is virulent in my mind. Any program that resists uninstall from an Administrator-level users is too. There needs to be some sort of 'anhiliate' button in windows.
I don't know where you got your degree, but my degree will be:
many checks clearing completion of many assignments, many of which are solutions to real world problems (I will concede they aren't all contempory problems, as I've solved a few problems NASA had to solve in the 70's). A good University will teach you knowledge, but also skill in aquiring new knowledge such that it's unecessary to know the answer to every problem you're likely to encounter in a professional enviorment. much much diligence
Of course you have to do well in high school to get into a good university (generally). Why would a poor student suddenly turn into a capable one? Doing well at a good school is something more, as you are competing against a class of nothing but excellent students (unless you point was that high school is worthless as a judge of education).
skill is the application of knowledge. A degree is proof of knowledge, and thus proof of possibility of skill, which is much more certain than someone with no degree. Even so, I think you're just being flippant.
Of course, someone with 10 years of experience would have the most demostrated ability which is why those persons make the most money.
That's not negative reinforcement. Negative reinforcement is the removal of a negative stimlus upon receiving the desired response.
It's how hunger works (eating removes hunger)
What you are thinking of is punishment, which is the least effective means of behavior modification.
I'm not about to run around and shout the sky is falling. Rather, I have nice example to point to explaning why layered security is important.
(I'm going off on this angle because you are worrying about getting yourself infected, and, as a geek, I trust you know something about computers. Worms like these bode ill for the internet in general, but that wasn't your point)
It would be a very bad day for me if both the hardware firewall and the software firewall I have had simultanious vulnerabilities, but it's also really unlikely. Plus, with a hardware firewall, so what if you root it? There isn't any data on it, and I can just unplug it and not worry about the security of my data (as the data now has no way of getting online), and I'm just a home user. Businesses should be even more secure.
It's the same reason I don't put my valuables just inside my front door...
If this guy gets any money.... actually, if this guy gets any money, it will only continue the current legal trends.
However, I was going to say that if this guy gets any money our legal system will have gone kaput. This is like suing a library for providing books which contain recommendations against your products. It's also like suing me for giving you a book with the same information.
What a great example of shooting the messenger... how pathetically ridiculous.
Oh, and is this guy actually suing the parties responsible for the creation of the socalled 'defamatory content'? Probably not, seeing as how they are broke due to doing business with a poor accountant.
No it doesn't. WTH are you talking about?
All it merely does it combine attacks against all known security flaws into a single package. It is also a trojan horse meaning that it uses user idiocy to get itself installed.
Hmm... I suppose user idiocy is a flaw that Windows has that Linux doesn't.
Well, on Star Trek: TNG, Riker continuously declined the promotions that the federation tried to offer him, but he ended up an admiral on the 1701E during the last episode, which would kick some serious ass.
I say you do what he did, and maybe you'll get your own Starship... err interesting project.
While you may not have heard of Neowin before, they are actually quite well known and are often placed in those '100 essential sites' lists.
They focus primarily on windows tech, and have a knack for breaking stories about Windows- leaked builds of future versions, beta builds of service packs, etc. Whoever runs the site is well connected in Microsoft.
AFAIK, women were already placed in a secondary role in Greek society, centuries before. They weren't citizens, and couldn't participate in the polis or vote.
At the same time they were revered by men as sexual objects and not allowed to do 'manly' tasks. It is, in my opinion, this dual subjegation/reverence that continues to today.
Plus, can you really that sort of worship as better than secondary status? It's just as condescending.
From the CNN article, apparantly Spirit can dust off a rock. It doesn't say how though, but I would guess either compressed air brought from earth (unlikely), a little air compressor, or a brush of some sort.
Now, apparantly the lifetime of the rovers is limited by the rate at which dust build up on the solar panels. How hard could it have been to reticulate the arm so that it can bend around and dust the panels off themselves? Even if it were to cost $1mil, it'd still be worth it as it would extend the lifetime of the rovers indefinately.
(Personally, I'd still like to see a better solution- have the rovers shake like dogs do when they get wet)
I've never seen an E on this side of the Atlantic (west). Normally it goes A,B,C,D,F. In europe I've seen E which is the american F, with E meaning elementary.
(with one exception in the US- in grade school E was the best and meant 'excellent')
Or maybe you were trying to be ironic... it's late and I lose my mind.
Yeah, just like that picture of a rock from mars looks like a face but can't be a face, and that picture of that smoke looks like the image of satan, etc...
So what if it just looks like mud? It's a freaking lo-res black and white photograph! I'll be intrigued when you say It feels like mud and is a mixture of soil and water, but it can't be mud!
DNS is great in it's hierarchal nature- one can simply delagate domains to another server, which keeps what ever DNS is managing the root (like slashdot.org.) from getting overloaded with requests.
However, how is it going to work if we add Barcodes, RFIDs, etc to DNS? Are we going to create a RFID domain? RFIDs are unique numbers, AFAIK, which is more like an IP address, which is exactly what DNS is designed to avoid the usage of! Will i go buy tee.shirt.yellow.minnesota.walmart and have the register go look up the RFID and price information? That would seem backwards.
Also, we're going to need many more DNS servers if we are going to piggy back those sorts of services on the system. While I did RTFA, it seemed short on details. I would assume a retailer using DNS for RFID would have a private DNS network, much the same way Microsoft's Active Directory normally uses one (or maybe not- maybe one would just need a seperate RFID network of servers, since there is nothing inherantly private about RFID numbers and it might be helpful for a retailer to make the RFID lookup ability public).
Yet, that would only lead back to my original question. Are you going to seperate RFIDs into domains by number and then delgate them? That seems silly- imagine trying to put MAC address lookups on DNS. Does one retailer need to be able to access the RFIDs of another? Are we going to need to create root servers for RFID lookups? Please don't use those same root servers and please don't merge the network with the same public internet DNS system.
Perhaps the article was just short on details, or maybe I missed something, but I'm wary of using DNS for the sort of system the article described- at least before more details emerge.

Blue Screen of Death sounds like something Peter Jackson would use in post production.
Spinning Wheel of Death sounds like something pat sajak cum satan would use in hell with humormous but sometimes painful results.
Can you imagine the power drain a car would do recharging in 30 seconds!
It takes 5-6 gallons of gas to generate that much energy, without the cost of converting it to electricity. That's a load on the grid for sure.
It's easy- we're solar powered.

Okay, I see your point.
I'm too lazy to go find them myself- so:
Has anyone come across a removal tool and/or removal instructions? They would be helpful for future reference.
If you protect soldiers from small arms, you only add incentive for everyone else to make larger arms. You can see the obvious cycle.
I'm not so sure I really want Mechwarrior to become reality either, unless i get a really cool gauss cannon. Then it's fine by me.

I'm not a programmer, so I have a question for those of you who are.
Would these same sorts of vulner's apply to Real Alternative too, or does the active X wrapper prevent the hack?

No, see, the question was 'what do you hate the most but still have to have'
Personally, the machine gun works for me- it's gotten me out of more than one tight situation (it's really nice at getting stuck doors open)
(I'm joking, really)
How much things have changed.
I too used WS-FTP and Winamp 1.0 to download- of all things- Cotton Eye Joe.
(No, this isn't a troll)
E?
I've never seen an E on this side of the Atlantic (west). Normally it goes A,B,C,D,F. In europe I've seen E which is the american F, with E meaning elementary.
