Technical Details. Most computer systems come pre-infected with this virus, otherwise it can be downloaded at any of the torrent sites around.
Removal Instructions. You must first seek a guru. He will supply you with one of many Linux disks. Insert one in your drive and reboot your computer. Follow the prompts on screen. Do not be fooled by any messages Windows may display when you insert the disk, these are diversionary tactics.
If your work computer is infected, you may find that removing the W32.Windows virus may lead to premature loss of employement, be sure to consult with your in-situ guru. Do not follow the advice of any PHBs though.
They see the looks on the parents faces when they see the price of new games. It really is saying something when the game costs 50% of the hardware cost price.
I look at computer games with my rose tinted glasses on and remember buying games for well under £10, these were brand new chart topping monster hits.
Also, dont forget the longevity of most games is appalling, this weeks fad will be next weeks frisbee.
I just (finally) gave in and bought my son a ps2, and the only way he can afford to buy games with his own money is to purchase them second hand.
If I walk into your house and steal your valuables, then you have a right to get me arrested.
These torrent sites were NOT hosting the material. They were NOT giving the data. They were telling you where to find it.
Criminals hang out under the bridge you know. You can download this file from here you know.
You yourself went onto these sites in the knowledge you would find copyrighted data there.
I hope you don't use google, or Yahoo or MSN or any of the other search engines, because surprisingly, they also allow illicit access to copyrighted data.
I agree with artists needing payment, and I have no qualms with paying for cds dvds and cinema trips, but if I download a song I don't expect to be treated like a criminal, if its a chart music song thats playing on radios all over the place, my playing it at home is another advert for the group. It becomes more of a problem when I burn them to disk and start selling them. Only then am I taking revenue away from the content provider.
Cool, sounds like a perfect compromise would have these simple buttons on the side of a pod and keep the front panel and scroll wheel for advanced uses:)
Best of both worlds, if done properly, it wouldn't interupt the pod styling either.
Why shouldn't I be able to play and control my media in a linear fashion? The attraction of a large media player to me would be "plays as much stuff as the radio, but I can choose what to listen to".
Simple skip buttons for Song/Folder would be enough for me. Sure, that way, I lose the pointless searching for music, and get on with playing it.
I wouldn't have put the music on the device if I didn't like it, and at the point of putting it on, I can do whatever searching and arranging I want.
I have winamp on now, and I haven't done anything with it for days because it just plays my music. If I don't like a particular track, I skip it, if I don't like a genre just I move further down the playlist. Its got hours and hours of none repeating music on a semi random playlist. Why would I need to search?
I think the chunkiness thinking sounds about right, and small illogically designed devices you must actually look at to use are just impractical anyway. A good example of this is with a horrible rectangle remote control for a tv. Good ones are ergonomically styled and based mainly on tactile feedback.
This thing about mp3 players for the blind got me thinking. At some point or another, we have all (most likely) had an original tape walkman. Could you operate that from your pocket without pulling it out?
An iPod is designed to be held in your hand and played with - like a modile phone or a deck of cards, its not designed for use whilst tucked away. It seems like styling and design has overtaken functionality. Maybe, it could be recaptured by allowing a simplified clicker interface on the pod, sacrifice extra faffing and scrolling and sorting for real straight forward play controls.
Isn't that a similar problem to people who have had laser surgery? Perhaps having a read up about how they cope with low light conditions would be a good start?
Alternatively, you could smoke/take some drugs, your pupils should expand enough to let more light in (there is a serious suggestion lurking in there, and perhaps a visit to an optician/doctor would help to get some form of medication)
The worst part of being a slashdot member is watching people devistate and ruin a server because of childish acts of vandalism.
Take for instance whenever slash points towards wikipedia, within minutes the page will be modified to some trolls' agenda. Having to wade through the crapflood of comments on blogs and forums after slash has been there is almost embarassing sometimes. The servers can generally cope with a slashdotting and work perfectly just hours or days after the initial hit, however the trolls handywork can end up staying for longer.

Why oh why did I just imagine the goatse image being described by Isaac Hayes or Barry white?

Kinda like a gmail invite then :D
What happens when Stallman gets hit by a bus?
We just go and restore the most recent version from CVS of course!
Dear Santa,
Since we have been good admins all year long, could you please send us:
1 New Web Server.
A nice fat internet connection.
Sincerely,
tv.cream.org admins.
The Mars rovers are having difficulties examining and mapping the surface of mars.

The problem - they can't see where they are going whilst holding the spectrometer.
For the answer to your question, think of the picture of a rifle bullet passing through an apple.

I didn't know Bush and his cronies were planning a visit to ISS? ;)
Hence the "Dohhh!" Homer simpson moment.....
Its a beta version ;)
Expect it to be uploaded to SuprNova soon. Dohhh!
Completely missed your last paragraph though, second hand ps2 games here in the UK are very nicely priced at £8 each, or 4 for £20.
they purposefully steer parents to used titles

I was thinking from a users perspective, not from the internal side.
I know the bcc never ends up in the actual mail, but theres an entry field on the screen when a user is writing a mail.
The mail software in use performs the actions you outlined, and spamming software does it automatically as we know.

I thought the same thing, but then I realised, they just filled in the BCC fields.
The addresses you are seeing are simply the first in the list of thousands. Your address is simply one of those.
Can I sign up for a mailing list to keep informed of the research progress? ;)
Whats wrong with it is your not an ISP, and your not protected by the same rules, regulations and laws as them.
So if someone did illegal things through your connection, YOU will still be responsible.

At least you could tell the RIAA it wasn't *YOU* that downloaded that mp3 :)
Everytime they shut down a torrent site, god murders a lawyer.
sage advice :)
