They can't just stop google caching the pages because then google would stop putting their news in news.google.com. Personally I can't understand the problem, you don't have to register to view articles through news.google.com anyway.
Surely attachments are part of some rfc somewhere, and blocking them is rfc incompatable - though I guess blocking spam would be...
Anyway, we outsource some of our work - and so we need to be able to send zip files. But we do scan all emails - incoming and outgoing, and we install antivirus software on every computer in the company - with central reporting.
However, you really need to update every day - if not more often. And, there can be problems with encrypted files. Oh, and a firewall can also block any backdoors that virii create.
Would the International Space Station be good enough? That would be more easy to do, though expensive.
Alpha Centauri would be the coolest place, just think of the ping time though.
There have been recent attempts of using the freepost address of the uk labour party as a dos attack.
The idea being that they are charged 19p for every letter you send them, and double that if they cancel the freepost address.
How well it worked I don't know though.
There's a place in Norway (I think), definitely a Scandinavian country. They have 100mbit lan around the area, with the kids who's parents bought the cheaper 10mbit connections moaning.
You are charged based on amount of data transfer outside of the network, but with game servers on the network things work out well.

And yes, the plural of virus is virii.
Oh, a slashdot book review. Would that be why amazon.com is giving a time out?
But internet radio is taking over shortwave, this is a pointless product! And besides, won't the pc cause interference with the radio?
