The part that amazes me these days is that people bother to send personal email through their work address when perfectly good webmail clients exist (*cough*gmail*cough*).

Its easier to plunk down $2000 instead of wiping the computer clean. PC manufactures should thank spyware and virus writers.
Actually its quite easy to restore computers to factory conditions, given that the machines were not customly built - most store bought machines come with a restore disk. I have a friend who is not behind a router that restores his every 3 weeks or so, when the spyware and viruses get out of control. I've offered to set him behind a router so he wouldnt have to restore. His response? "I like it in when I restore, my computer is so much faster."
A report on Newsforge (which is part of OSTG along with Slashdot) shows the flip side of the coin.

PS3 has a CPU FPS of 218 GFlops
PS3 has a GPU FPS of 1.8TFlops
PS3 has a combined FPS of 2.18TFlops
Check your math.
1.8 TFlops + 218 GFlops != 2.18 TFlops1.8 TFlops + 218 GFlops = 2.02 TFlops (2.018 to be exact)
Like my favorites, the Lewis Hine photos of the Depression-Era construction of the Empire State Building. Anybody who says photography is not art should view them. http://www.nypl.org/research/chss/spe/art/photo/hi nex/empire/empire.html/

Just in case anyone was wondering just how old Fred Pohl is these days.

Remember, it's not how good you play that makes you money - it's how bad "they" play. I've seen this concept stressed in a quite a few poker books.

Slashdot. Entertainment News for Nerds?
Unlike usual casino games (blackjack, roulette, etc.), in poker, you are playing for other people's money, not the "house's" money.
Cincinatti is famous for something other than WKRP.
When I think of Cincinatti all that pops in my mind is "The Devil's Backbone" from Airborne.
