Wait, what? I've had X crash, from driver issues, but it NEVER brought down the system. Mostly because the drivers are loaded as modules. It's not the same thing. The video driver doesn't bring down the whole system. It'll only kill the GUI.
1958 - "Hare-Way to the Stars" - I have this on video! A Looney Tunes episode with Bugs Bunny. Marvin plans to blow up the Earth using the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator, and Bugs Bunny tries to stop him. Marvin, angry that "that creature" has stolen his space modulator, creates more Martians.

Am I under some mistaken assumption that most power is pretty damn stable, and that's a very, very small window for your virus to run in, given the amount of work it'd take? You'd be better off writing a Linux virus, you'd get better payoff...
But you're an irregular case. Of course, I feel that there is a non-insignificant number of people who have no business driving vehicles that have licenses. Teens or otherwise.
They actually do it to save cell providers, rather than the airlines. It's because you'd be in 'view' of too many cells at once in an airplane that they tell you to turn it off.
Ingrid Newkirk, PETA's controversial founder, says, 'There is no rational basis for saying that a human being has special rights.... A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy.' Newkirk told a Washington Post reporter that the atrocities of Nazi Germany pale by comparison to killing animals for food: 'Six million Jews died in concentration camps, but six billion broiler chickens will die this year in slaughterhouses.'
Clearly, Ms. Newkirk is more outraged by the killing of chickens for food than she is by the wholesale slaughter of human beings. One gets the impression she would not necessarily consider the extinction of humanity an undesirable thing. In fact, she and other animal-rights advocates often sound downright misanthropic. She told a reporter, 'I don't have any reverence for life, only for the entities themselves. I would rather see a blank space where I am. This will sound like fruitcake stuff again but at least I wouldn't be harming anything.' And the summer issue of Wild Earth magazine, a journal promoting radical environmentalism, included a manifesto for the extinction of the human race, written under the pseudonym 'Les U. Knight.' The article said, 'If you haven't given voluntary human extinction much thought before, the idea of a world with no people in it may seem strange. But, if you give it a chance, I think you might agree that the extinction of Homo sapiens would mean survival for millions, if not billions, of Earth-dwelling species.... Phasing out the human race will solve every problem on earth, social and environmental.'
And the wind turbines wiping out flocks of migrating birds and raptors that thrive in windy environments. Oh, wait... you mean ANYTHING we do has an impact? I'm shocked, SHOCKED I tell you. We can't stand for this! We should all just kill ourselves right now so we no longer have an impact on the earth at all!
(For the obtuse among us, that was sarcasm)
They could, but they don't. However, a large number of very talented people are working in industry. Their companies pay them for ideas. Those ideas would stay secret for who knows how long without the patent system. Are you sure you, as an academic, really want that? Or even better, they could be lost to the ages, such as Damascus steel, and other such things.
Perhaps you need to get away from the academics and think more.
You're starting a game that's expected to take over the screen... what use is making the splash screen smaller? So you can marvel at your wallpaper for 3 seconds? Are you going to try to start up some other application? Seriously.
Didn't you even read the fine blurb? I quote: "FAA's role until 2012 will be to protect the uninvolved public on the ground, and allow passengers to ride as long as they've been properly informed of the related dangers."
Jesus. How lazy can you get?
Hear hear! That was the worst part about this post. I loved the content. It was impossible to actually read easily though. One or two words capitalized per communique maximum, please... it hurts the brain to try and parse it.

Now, after you've read each of the above paragraphs, please reflect on which one was easier for you to comprehend and why. I leave the results as an exercise to the reader.
Because any cracker worth his salt wouldn't be running the program through a debugger, and noticing it accessing the swap file when it's supposed to be loading data. With scheduling systems as they are, the program won't know it's running through a debugger. Hasn't Microsoft already proven time and again that security through obscurity doesn't work?

Read this and come back again. Thanks for playing.

So what you do is use the SP2 firewall's ability to control the access of individual programs. It's a much nicer firewall than XP's default one.

Unlucky generation 13, eh? I heard it was worse than the others. :(
Yes, it was a lame joke. I couldn't think of anything better

pr0n. Plain and simple.
It's a joke, but you know it's true...
Yup. It's really nifty in Konqueror... words it thinks are misspelled are highlighted red. Very kool.

Because that works so well for the Mac ;)
And if that's a child pr0n site, they have a whole new set of evidence.

And because everyone does it, that means it's right. I love groupthink.
You think marketing people knew how to disable Tag Queueing? They had some help from a geek of some sort... let's lynch him!

Corporations are legally people for all intents and purposes too, though. It's that way by design.
