The only way to protect against Curious Yellow is to inoculate every computer with an anti-worm, Curious Blue, which uses similar technology to instantly distribute security patches
I'd say one good way to protect against it is don't open those files named YippeeImAnIdiot.jpg.vbs
...but M$ continues with the attitude that you will use this the way we want you to use this
Wrong, all they did was keep a mod chip out of the mass consumer arena. You can still do whatever you want with an X-Box, whether its play the games, install your own mod chips, or use it for target practice.
Just goes to show you, if you want to do something profitable and not get busted (e.g. cable box mods), keep it on the down low and don't start a damn website.
Let me enlighten you on a few vision science basics.
Objects are perceived as the same distance away when light takes the same amount of time to traverse from each of the objects. Therefore you can imagine the world as a series of concentric spheres about your eyes, each sphere representing a "plane" of distance. In order to create the illusion of 3d on a 2d surface, it is required that the light traversal time be increased for those parts of the scene that are to be perceived as "deep". The problem is, while there are ways to make light go slower, the thickness of a sheet of paper (or even a computer monitor) isn't enough space in which to do it.
Therefore, until some fundamental hurdles are overcome, 3d computing is only a pipedream.
Sorry, I had to repost this from the previous version of this story, it was just classic.
I think the answer is simple, most using Apache know what they're doing and actually care about maintaining their web server. Most using IIS don't know what they're doing, nor do they care (until something like CodeRed happens).
Based on the next story, I'd put 66 satellites into geo-synchronous transfer orbit to start a global porn version of HBO. Then with the remaining $10 mil, buy up all the porn I can, and hit play. For $10 a month you can enjoy all the porn your heart desires.

Looks like you have no idea either

Anyone who's willing to pay $3.99/minute roaming charges just to say "Hey! I'm flying over your house!" deserves a swift kick in the crotch.
Well, duh.
Only 16 percent of computer users we sampled this year reported they were free from any virus attack
It's good to see CowboyNeal is gaining popularity in China.
I wound't call em hackers, just opportunists.
Or, as George W. would say...
"Do what I do, get them good and drunk"

Ahhh yes, thanks internet, for letting me now that it's okay to take a crap in my girlfriend's mouth.
Sometimes that joke just doesn't work. Let it go.
You mean you aren't?!?

How do you decide you want to be that when you grow up?
I'd say it's weird to give a buyer no other option but MS
Whatever happened to buying an XBox to play XBox?
If so, we are slowly bending down to grab our ankles.
But where is the ring now?
This must be the geek version of "Find your old classmates!" since most geeks were BBSing rather than talking with real people at school.
Linux supporters warn that a secure OS might not have really been produced by Microsoft.
Step 1: Build Computer!
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit!!
