For the love of the DMCA-Bush-MPAA-alliance, how long does it actually/take/ to equate everything under the sun to an act of terrorism!?!
Come on people, we need to start whipping out these unfounded defacements quicker!
We've already renamed 'French fries' in the capital, but that may not be enough, we actually have to stand up in a court of Bush^H^H^H^Law and accuse anyone that still refers to them as 'French' as being a TERRORIST!
Ha! That'll teach them! Now I must go formulate my plan to charge all McDonalds franchises as terrorist havens thanks to their newly proposed WiFi!
Because Comp-Sci people know about spam, and e-mail viruses and such.
I guarantee that if the IT department had changed the.vbs files to that giant threat, they would have gotten a hell of a lot more calls than by just leaving the.vbs files alone.
Companies such as Dell have a warranty policy whereby if you have a dead drive and the tech comes out to replace it, you tell them that the drive is classed 'confidential' they will destroy it onsite for you. This is done after the drive is confirmed dead of course, but they do give you the satisfaction of not losing money or data...:)

And then the money you made on the last 30 systems you built, gets given to a charity... which is a wonderful idea, but 1x XP2400 with the specs you mentioned is the equivalent in cost to about 6x Celerons... now which do you think would be more useful to said charity?
Personally, unless you have a grand plan along the lines of giving that charity 5x more PCs or something, you're wasting money, despite whether you can technically 'afford it', I hate to think of all the handicapped children vying to use 1 PC...

It's time for another... Good Idea, Bad Idea.
Good Idea: Posting to SlashDot with reasonable thought and provocative arguement.
Bad Idea: Doning this by choosing the arguement of Speilberg being new at _anything_ in a forum of people who would probably bare his children given half a chance.
NETBIOS does not have to be enabled to receive these messages, so 'File and Printer Sharing' being disabled has no effect.
Disabling the Messenger Service is a good idea, but if you still need that for LAN use, you can of course block port 139 on your Internet-connected network adapter.
Routing and Remote Access lets you forward inbound ports to a separate IP and port... just forward 139 to an IP that you know doesn't exist! Voila! LAN use still working, no whacky girls of the internet trying to get you to call all of their strangley-familiar 900 numbers...
Does anyone else think that sitting in the middle of a forest, in a tent, but with an 8-hour 40w bulb, kind of defeats the point of going on a camping trip in the first place?
This device, as useful as it sounds, will probably never make it to the mainstream, thanks to Duracell and Energizer... why have a renewable power source when for the same price you could carry around heavey chunks of metal that are illegal to through in the trash!

Don't worry, I've already got a plan for dismantling the statue involving 300 good ol' Mexican^H^H^H^HAmerican workers!

I happen to know for a fact that 90% of your favourite TV-pimped credit card company's [CapitalOne] systems are still Windows95.
No, really, it makes supporting them THAT MUCH more fun.
"Ok ma'am, now I'm going to need you to install MDAC. What's that? Your system just caught on fire?? Damn 95! Damn it all to hell!"
