I was wondering where I got this from. I spent 4 hours removing Malware from my computer the other day. Since I don't tend to visit pr0n sites at work, I had know idea how I was so badly infected until now...
Ad-aware, spybot, and Nortons did not find the evil software. My process list was filled with MANY unkillable process with random names. Every time I killed one, it would start again with a new name. I found the executables on my drive and deleted them, they would RE-CREATE themselves!!
Also, it looked like one of the installed viruses(?) would download new Malware!
I was wondering, is this a virus? is it spyware? It was hard to classify as far as I could tell and it SUCKED.
you sir have hit the nail on the head. People are so poor at being "people" they lock themselves up in tiny worlds of delusion and inner circles where those delusions can be perpetuated. Why? there are so many reason, and now, terrorism can be one of them...

I'm not a physisist or any thing, but the statement "mass can only be possitive" seems extremely counter intuitive, and I don't believe it for a second. Doesn't everything have and opposite? ya know yang and wang and all? Doesn't that trouble you?
What I don't get is in all this talk of Online Communities there is never a refrence to the very real affect they *could* have in offline communication and community building. Slashdot, may or may not provide and example for this. As far as I know there are no real offline communities of slashdot readers? Maybe a LUG or something.
There is great potential in bringing together people, who live in the same area and have the same agendas, with online communities. I think people are seeing the internet way to globally, and not realizing it can be used locally. I've been involved in communities with both an online and offline aspect. The effect is immeasurable, you see the users having a GREAT sense of ownership and accountablity for their actions. Comments made in forums are often catalyst for real world events. Good and Bad. People are connecting in ways that they never could. Constently. The growth and progress of a community is logged through the online aspects, every user builds the history of the movement/group/whatever with their comments. New persons to a geographical area, can ease into the community, as they have the not so duanting option of just posting on a message board! Maybe it's b/c geeks would prefer to sit at a keyboard.. but I don't believe that stereotype. Look at the growth of the LAN party phenomenon. Online community with games and IRC, offline events to bring together that community. It's a simple concept that could be applied anywere, but isn't.
I believe we can harness this power in every aspect of society. Then will we be using the internet to it's potential.
I'm extremely interested in this topic these days actually. If you can point me in the direction of material or would like to explore this idea with me. Feel free to contact me.
here here, I had just got my fisrt computer, 100mhz pack bell. Wrote code to control a stepper motor through my com port.. installed slackware.. Played Descent via null modem cable and wiped out my friend on his 486 every time... Paid hundreds for 8 megabytes of ram, waited 45 minutes for a 5 meg file to download... and I was taking classes like "data structures" & digital logic... Wow is right. Well it's 5 years and hundreds's boot floppy's later, my sound works in linux and companies like IBM brandish the linux name around. Congrats/.!

Not the T.V. Show.. The Movie.. Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Paul Ruebin's death scene is a classic of all time. -philej
