"Dog" is the correct answer. A dog will alert you to danger in time for you to go to your backup plan, (saferoom, 911, firearm, whatever), and the rest of the time will love you much more than than your alarm system ever will. Even when the phone lines are down and the power is out.
If the machines will really be kept in a room by themselves, a dab of Vicks below each nostril will keep you from gagging when you have to go in to work on them. But you'll look (and smell) funny if you forget to wash it off.
There are still folks in Palm Beach county without power/phone in the wake of Frances. In fact, FPL is saying that some will not be back up until 9/17!
Yup. If you've ever asked an intelligent question of the qmail list, you know who Russ Nelson is. And he has written and freely given tons of spiffy software to the community.
I'm beginning to really hate that word. It seems that everybody who is on the losing side of an issue, or who bears some other grudge against society, thinks of himself as "disempowered."
Yes. And China tends to look towards the long term. The question is, what direction will their software enterprise take? Will they go the FOSS road, or keep their stuff proprietary.
My guess is that they'll try to capitalize (heh) on it.
The bad guys were smart enough to pull this off in the first place. I'm guessing they're smart enough not to purchase stuff with serial numbers or "extended warranties."
Yeah. Gouker even seems to feel that licensing, rather than owning, music is the way to go. Maybe it is if all you listen to is here today, gone tomorrow top-40 crud that you'll be bored with in a month.
Yes, really. It took me a while to dig up my two good dictionaries, Oxford Latin Dictionary and Lewis & Short, A Latin Dictionary, (it's been a while for me, too), and they both show virus, -i. So does my dictionary of Aquinas' Latin.
I agree that in English the plural is viruses. I was just saying that there is no justification for using virii based on its Latin origin.

I keep two old Trimline phones & a butt-in handy.
But that's artificial pressure you bring on yourself. How do you deal with emergencies?
Sorry. At this time I am only accepting criticism from those who can spell "complete" correctly.
Beating up on the chess club (when the AV club wasn't available) really brings me back to those good ol' high-school days.

A great writer can take liberties with his grammar yet still come off effectively. The rest of us are better off when we stick to the rules. Usually :)
Thanks, Mr. Grammar Man, but at this time I am only accepting criticism from those who can spell "sentence" correctly.
Writing complete sentences will improve your essay.
Sadly, I must agree with you. But the efficiency/freedom trade-off will always be there. I hope.

Article says it's "currently in reruns through January." Is this true?
How about those who are merely registered Republican voters? Are they too de facto government officials? Where do we draw the line? Poll watchers?
There is one difference: Amdahl actually had a competitive product, while SCO has only lawyers.
As much as I side with IBM here, it does seem a bit ironic to see IBM complaining about a competitor "perpetuating fear, uncertainty and doubt."
But I knew back in '73 when we got our IMP that no good would come of it.
How many mod points were lost to this troll? Sheesh, people.
But the cord is what makes them cute, and allows them to be called "mouse". I think of a cordless mouse as a "roach". ;-)
They also chose the much reviled "butterfly ballot" in 2000. Why would you think they've gotten any smarter?

Virus is just an ordinary 2nd declension neuter. It would not have the plural virii.
