This technique was used by the title character of the (long since) cancelled "Punisher 2099" comic. IIRC, instead of blurring his face he had it rigged so that the "Public Eye" cameras only saw a modernized Punisher skull logo.
Yes, I know it was only a comic book. But this is Slashdot, the wonderful world where the consensus is that EVERY comic book invention has a practical real-world application.
...don't any releases from Microsoft qualify as a "Malicious Software Installation Tool". Look, they're even sending a subliminal message with their product's name: Malicious Software = MS. Coincidence? I think not.
Something thats always bothered me about OSX is how easy it is to write a program that prompts the user to enter their Admin password
Right...because this vulnerability exists only in OSX. Here is a sample of how malicious code could be ported over to other OSes:
10 REM This program will hax0r there b0x0rs kekeke
20 REM Ask for admin password
30 INPUT "What is you name: "; U$
40 PRINT "Hello "; U$
50 INPUT "Would you like free pr0n: ";P$
60 IF P$="N" then END
70 IF P$="Y" then PRINT "Please enter admin password"; A$ else GOTO 50

I've been playing all my music off of a harddrive for years. It's hardly impracticle. I used to have a pile of CDs cluttering up my desk. I used to have to worry about CDs getting scratched. I used to have to work to keep the CDs sorted.
No longer.
Now I just worry about my HD crashing or the DVDs containing the backups getting scratched.
"The Lord of the Rings 4: A New Age"
"The Lord of the Rings 5: Sauron Strikes Back"
"The Lord of the Rings 6: Return of the Oliphaunt"
"The Lord of the Rings 7: The Final Frontier"
etc.
What killed me is the 26 July update. In the document that identifies soldiers that are married to other soldiers, it identifies one of the unit member's spouses as being Absent WithOut Leave (AWOL). When that memo makes the rounds in the unit, it's bound to cause some awkward conversations.

It's being released under the SCO "Indian Giver" license. This allows TSCOG to make numerous contributions to the source and then re-release it. This is followed later with complaints as to how much of TSCOG's IP has made it into the virus. TSCOG will then threaten to sue "end-users" (read: victims) of Bagle.SCO, unless they're willing to pay $699 ($1399 after 13 Oct) per CPU for the privilege of having licensed version of the virus.
I'm sure that Spiderman did very well in other countries. Why don't we get to see other "re-inventions" of the character (using the worst cultural stereotypes)?
Germany: Same top, but with lederhosen
Japan: Bows to "Green Goblin-san" before proceeding to kick his ass.
Soviet Russia: J. Jonah Jameson really IS the good guy and Spiderman is a Russian mobster (Spiderkingpin?)
France: Runs and hides from every aggressor until he can work out the "conditions" of his unconditional surrender
At the end of the day, I often find myself ready to go to bed and find that my computer (which I normally turn off at night) is still powered on. Is there a way for me to turn off the computer that takes absolutely no effort on MY part? Ideally, this method would merely require me to will the PC off. Can anyone show me how to implement this form of "cybertelepathy?"
I worked bomb/nav at Barksdale for three years ('87-'90) before I got fed up with the SAC-mentality and cross-trained. I might have hated the job enough to get the hell out of it, but I still love those old buffs. I always thought it was kind of strange that things were "dumbed down" for us. Our AFSC changed from 321X0 to 456X0, as if the notion of having an AFSC with non-consecutive numbers would cause utter confusion. Hell, we even had entirely too many people running around whose last names were derivatives of their first names. i.e. "Dave Davis".
"We emailed them via the contact page, which was the same as our own, and heard nothing back."
And strangely enough I had an e-mail from myself with the exact same message I sent then in my inbox!
If Pat thinks paying (or "volunteering" as both links indicate) $300,000 in services and bandwidth are tough on him, wait until he gets the bill for his defense website getting slashdotted. Justice4Pat? Yes, it is.
After careful evaluation of current market place realities and underlying economic considerations, we've decided that this was not the appropriate time to launch a graphic adventure on the PC.
General Opinion: "Mr. Mike Nelson, after very careful consideration, sir, I've come to the conclusion that Lucas Arts' decision on the Sam & Max sequel sucks."
Mike Nelson: "I don't have to take that, you pig-eyed sacks of shit."
General Opinion: "Oh, I was hoping for something a little better than that from you, sir. A man of your expertise at riffing B-grade movies."
Apologies to the "WarGames" script writers.

Sony's technology innovation had been "diluted", Mr Kutaragi said
Diluted or deluded?

With enough thrust, even pigs can fly...
With thrust given pigs will merely go fast.
s/With enough thrust/With enough upward thrust/
That "upward thrust" is commonly called lift
What next? Flying pigs?

With thrust given pigs will merely go fast. They would also require some lift

That's like the question "when did you stop beating your wife?"
I'll have to respond to that question with a resounding MU!
