Well in that case we need biometrics for different extremities than just digits... but then again who knows what they would chop off! to steal your car *OUCH*
yeah, I know what you mean a friend of mine went out and bought a mac mini 512 mb version when they first came out, they brought it home and called me over to help em' set it up (here I am thinking boy this thing is so small the performance must really suck!) but to my amazement that littke sucker was snappy and stable in fact the only problem I had while playing with it for a couple of hours was the music program..garageband?? I think it was called... well something like that, anyway it crashed a few times (should've called it garbageband hehe). On the other hand same friend had bought a compaq presario laptop same amount of mem and 2.1 ghz or 2.3 not sure with XP on it. So I start it up (took three times longer to first boot than OSX) then ity starts in with the cute little welcome slideshow and music (that there is no way to shut the crap off! soft or hard) so after about 20 minutes of setup (mac mini was five minutes btw) XP comes up with its semi-new interface...well at least it was better then 95. Anyway I played with it for about an hour seemed pretty good I did crash explorer a couple of times and the media player wanted to hang around several times. After all was said and done XP performed ok it was not as snappy as OSX though( XP was on a faster machine too) anyway my work was done or so I thought.... The next day I get a call 'my computer won't boot!!!' So I think no prob. I'll just be over there for a few minutes cause XP is supposed to be able to fix itself better than 98 right !!!WRONG!!!....Two hours later of searching the m$ knowlege base and registry restores I finally decided to reinstall XP at least that only took another 45 minutes. In comparison so far the mac has only had one problem since apple had hidden the power switch on the rear of the box I guess they didn't know it was there cause they never powered it down until there was a power outage! so they call me up and say they think the power spiked the computer ( so all the while I'm thinking it's toast) so I get there turn it on and voila it works just fine??? then I explain how there is a button on the back to turn it on!:=0

well I don't think it has any chance of getting modded insightful for various reasons, the first of which is you didn't bash m$ at all... I mean whats up with that? this is slashdot afterall. Then all you really did was quote a link to some goverment report (borrrrring) with a bunch of double-talk where they make up all kinds of acronyms and 'cliche sorts'... but then thats what they do best;) maybe the mods thought that lase statement was your sig???
*Bends over* Ouuuuuccchhhh Uuuugh. damn nokia screwed me again. Well, next phone will be a motorola, always liked them better anyways (until I bought their stock--right before iridium went TU.).

There are several other ways to make pics virillous.
Other ways to keep your computer safe : M$ tells us not to open attachments unless they come from someone you know...!!!!WRONG!!!! you get an email from your friend who has just become infected with a worm that sends out itself to EVERYONE including you ) on their address book! This would lead me to believe that most people get viruses from people they know;+0
And in other new Microsoft Corp. located in Redmond Washington has developed a method to transfer a virus into a group of people without their knowledge.

More to the point is how does it backup 5000GB?
even at 300mbs it may take a while.
So does anyone know if Hersheys will be making mars bars on mars?
thats because the server is probably in New Orleans.

Would that be a flat piece about 2 feet long 1 inch wide and fairly thin and notches at the end... I think that is called a slim-jim ;=)
