That reminds me, why does it take about an hour to travel to Vulcan, and then something like 48 hours to travel back to Earth, when it's about to be destroyed by a drop of red matter? Solar wind?
On the other hand, Microsoft is about to launch a major campaign for Windows Phone 7. My inside source tells me they have a marketing budget of $1 Billion.
I had to capitalize and spell that out, writing $1B doesn't seem to do it justice.
I would be willing to bet that it is not increasing signal, but rather, decreasing the noise coming from the other direction.
You could test my theory by trying (just keeping with the cooking utensils) a baking sheet, or a piece of aluminum foil.
I put a wire mesh behind one of these, and it improved my reception. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWQhlmJTMzw

On a slightly different topic, how am I supposed to monitor my child all the time to make sure he's not doing violent things, when it takes time away from me playing VIOLENT VIDEOGAMES!
No kidding. Every page is 90% ads and crap, with the text in a teeny little column. The animated ads were too distracting to bother reading past 2 or 3 pages.
Unless I am missing something, that is a testimony to the X Window System and not Java; Java does not need to know anything about networked displays, but rather it simply needs to use the standard X (and GL) client libraries.
So... your favourite Java feature is something written in C around 25 years ago?
Why? Because an install of WinXP can be compromised before you finish the installation of Service Pack 2. You are required to connect to the net *before* you have secured your machine.
Another aspect of (a)- smaller target - is the number of internet-visible services running on your machine. On both WinXP and FC4 installs I typically need to uncheck a number of services. I would like to claim more on WinXP, but I can't recall for certain right now!
His whole article bypasses the issue of how a virus gets onto the computer in the first place. I think we call all agree it's more likely for a Windows box to be infected.
Please report immediately to Microsoft Brain Reprogramming, so that your definition of the problem can be modified such as to render it now "solved".

That reminds me of a UNIX admin we used to have at our company.
We would ask for a backup or a restore, whatever, of some folder.
He would actually use the cp command.
I don't think he ever figured out what a symlink was or what it was for.
Let me assure you, that the 'cp' command does not handle symlinks well, and some other types of files.
Repeated beatings about the ears and nose did nothing to change his ways.
perhaps we can find an agreement that would avoid any and all discomfort to our most valuable stockholders, and if possible by giving the shaft to all our criminals, er, customers.
Hmmm, perhaps the others could not 'pause', but put the show in slow motion... really slow motion... and rock it back and forth... There! That's not paused, and has about the same effect.

The extra money goes to the Harmonized Sales Tax.

I think you missed a digit there; more like 16000 times.

I wonder if this means that I can develop using Eclipse CDT and an iPod Touch, rather than having to buy a Mac.
I don't understand fishing metaphors! Seriously. What is that supposed to mean?
That should be, "Product could be used to build toy weapons".

Hey, maybe they could remove the 'k' first.
Oops I meant 220,000
I wish the graphic has a "By Cores". Wow, a computer with over 120,000 cores! Phenomenal.
Just imagine how fast he could have finished if he was chased by dogs.
At that speed, no dog could have followed him.
Okay, just imagine how fast he could have finished if he was chased by a cheetah.
How did Zonk get that title from that blurb???

Zonk is contributing to his confusion by posting "PS3 Cell Processor Security Architecture" instead of "Cell Broadband Engine ..."
What is needed is a language that will bring the concepts of Erlang and Haskell together,
Hmmm.... Hurl-ing? or Erkel? It's doomed already!
I think (b) is certainly not a trivial issue.

'tar' on the other hand, does a great job.
"...Symantec's update further protects computers by displaying the directory,"
That's great! Our product is now better, because we turned off something bad we were previously doing!
Now that's a nice spin!
I am afraid their server did not melt and drip all over the carpet.
In fact, Here's a picture of it!
No I believe he meant to type:
