If I were a malware writer, I wouldn't want to kill my infected computers. I would nurture them instead so that they could provide me with as much information as possible for the longest time possible.
My malware defrags the disk, cleans up the registry, removes viruses, and uninstalls AOL. My minions run better AFTER I 0wnz0r them!
Since people have been directly struck by lightning and survived, I'd say it certainly is possible (despite your thinly veiled opinion that this is foolishness).
For the younger folks, Impossible Mission for the Atari 7800 on NTSC really was impossible-- because the programmers placed items under a computer terminal, but didn't mark the terminal as searchable. Decided lack of playtesting, there.
The bug comments have me confused. Does this remove support for the old Win9x APIs (95, 98, ME) or every OS that came before Win2K (95, 98, NT)? Remember, ME came out after Windows 2000 and was the last OS based on the 9x code base; but comments on the bug reveal the expectation that Mozilla will no longer support ME. I think they mean this call is only supported on the NT kernel base (although I'm not sure that actually includes NT 3.x/4.x). Programmers should really know the difference, and say "Win32c" or "Win32".

In fact one of the very first things Bush did when he entered the White House was remove all of the DOJ lawyers on the Microsoft monopoly case who had any legal experience with monopolies.
Could you please provide a link to this information? I was unable to find any.
Depends on what you mean by 'monitored'. Are records of domestic calls being kept and stored in a database for potential future use? You betcha. Is this monitoring? Maybe. I think so.
I have to inform you that your telephone company has been "monitoring" your phone calls since, well, forever. That's how they bill you. Then the issue becomes whether the government should have access to these records without a warrant, right? It's still not "monitoring". If you don't like the government having these records without a warrant, then just say that. You would be at odds with the federal courts, who have decided in several cases that phone records (including only time and location called) do not fall under the fourth amendement because they are not owned by the telephone customer and therefore are not his "papers".
In an age where domestic phone calls are monitored, a government employee was allowed to walk out of a government installation with the data on thousands of American citizens to store on an insecure personal computer?
Those are two separate issues. The proverbial apples and oranges come to mind. It's something like saying, "In an age where crackers are trading warez across P2P networks, people are allowed to have CD-RW drives in their computers?"
Besides, domestic calls are not monitored without a warrant. Do you have a problem with that? Perhaps you are thinking of international* calls to known members of terrorist organizations.
Doesn't that seem strange to you.
Is that a question?
* According to my phone bill, a call made from my house to another country is an international call.
Well, it's 16 MEGABYTES per second-- which is still ridiculous but not as ridiculous. No offense to you-- it's yet another obvious typo in the article summary (using a small "b" instead of a large "B").

Whatever. Thanks for not sneaking across the border, in any case. Please do us a favor-- get that do-nothing moron Vicente Fox out of office as soon as possible, as we're tired of dealing with the social ills he's responsible for.
Nice jab at American automakers, Michael Moore, but the Japanese didn't invent long-life spark plugs. Electronic ignition and computers did a lot towards extending life. My 1976 Ford LTD had no computer-- just an electronic ignition module-- and I didn't have to change the spark plugs every year even though I usually put over 15,000 miles on it in that amount of time. But you basically have to use platinum plugs to get over 30K. That's not a Japanese thing-- it's the spark plug manufacturers, and while Ford and GM have their own house brands, you have big boys like Bosch and Champion who make that stuff for any car.
That's the first time I've seen someone claim that NT was build on Xenix. Usually, people claim Dave Cutler put VMS code in it (which is also untrue, although there are some solid VMS concepts being used).
They had posession of an alien fighter, so yes, they did have a clue what kind of technology they were dealing with. I would have expected the alien tech to have advanced quite a bit over 40 years, however.
It would be legal, except that there would have to be non-winning game tickets in addition to golden tickets, and you would have to be able to get a free game piece upon request.
As has been adequately pointed out, those who believe in a young earth are merely a subset of the entire set of people who "wasted a whole Sunday morning in supplication to an invisible man who lives in the sky." Apples and oranges.
Replace "task" with "expense" and I would agree with you. RAID with seven drives is the same as RAID with three drives, assuming the same RAID level. You add the drives to the array using the supplied utility, optionally reserving spares, and you're done. Maybe it will take you an extra few minutes per drive to mount each in the enclosure.
Another Qu'ranic inconsistency, as gentile Christians have long eaten non-kosher (and halal) items due to Jesus's proclamation that what comes out of a man's mouth is more important than what goes into it.
