It would be foolish to use randomly provided 'good' virii/worms to remove the 'bad' ones. You might as well just format the drive now and get it over with.

I kinda wondered why they were gonna ship 'em. I figured just tell the mac its new address and let it go!
No, the hubble was designed with this in mind. When they had to fix the flawed mirror, there was talk of just bringing the whole thing back in the shuttle and fixing it here. It's doable.
Also, aerodynamic changes due to the wings getting torn up are significantly different from a shift of center of gravity. The former wasn't even recognized in time, the latter would be planned months ahead of the mission.
Every couple of years, usually in summer. It's not unusual.
I worry less about terrorism than I did 2 years ago. I _do_ worry about all the BS that the american gov't is pulling with terrorism as the justification, though.
I recall that there was a fellow running a substation back in 67 that basically sacrificed his station to keep a massive surge from hitting NY. Fried a million dollars worth of machinery, but delayed the blackout.
It seems to me (and this is not intended as an insult) that british (and derivative countries, like NZ) citizens are more... formal... than americans, but that often there is a real nasty streak hidden under the polite veneer.
Americans have a similar streak, we just don't hide it as well.
I would think that the fact that I used the term 'element' indicated that I knew its meaning, and that no one could have invented it. No wiggle room needed.
heh... that's the point... she gave me shit about americans thinking that North America was the whole world... so I got a map, Paint Shop Pro, and produced a globe sans the other continent.
Where's the fun in that? A kiwi friend and I have a running debate over whether the element is called 'aluminum' or 'aluminium'. I declared that americans had invented it and thus the former is right:)
hell, we got bored with it and we were the ones rambling... I think it's funny that AC decided to throw his hat into the ring... ok, your turn to say something dumb... oh wait...
I mean, come on... we're both just having a pissing match here anyway. Neither of us has been a particularly skillful debater. I tend to favor my side, but re-reading the thread only shows that we're both kinda acting like 12 years olds...

Um... yeah, ok. You missed it. A shame really, it was cool. Never mind. As you were. nothing to see here. carry on...
I propose that the government be banned from making any more technological suggestions until the chief executive can pronounce 'nuclear' correctly.
thank you.
Thank you. This is _much_ closer to the case. It's not that the guy found a vulnerability, folks, it's that he was really irresponsible about it.

yeah, but the furniture porn was at least a funny parody!
As a Perl hack, I think I'll take that as a compliment!

Of course you can... lots of cultures still burn dung for heat...
Sure, but it's not economical yet. Maybe in 50 years this kinda thing won't happen.

No. Many of us realized that it is august and bloody hot, and an outage was likely. Lots of major problems occur w/o terrorism being a likely cause.
Could be worse... at least british drunks are very unlikely to have a gun... not so here.

Yup, americans are just evil, nasty and should be reviled.
We're horrible and the cause of all the world's problems. No other country ever does anything nasty politically, militarily or economically. We suck.
Are we done yet?
(as a side note, my arrogance has nothing to do with my nationality. I'm a prick on my own terms)

A few years ago there was a married couple on the shuttle. NASA tastefully deflected all the 'sex in space' inquiries.
Yeah, I know... see, that's why it's called a joke... you know, taking the 'arrogant american' stereotype to an extreme.
sigh.

She was not amused...

There are some special Texan rules, as I recall, that make it ok.
'tis possible, but I don't think it applies here... the SCO ownership or lack thereof was relevant to the joke...
I would, however, support a microsoft corollary...

I will, thanks!

except for me. am not am not am not...
