It sounds like that to me too. It also sounds like strained silicon, so maybe a combination of both. (wiki says stretched, the IBM guy says squeezed) "You literally can squeeze silicon, and thereby give it properties to make it faster. The thing that is making it run faster is not just that it's smaller but because you're changing its basic physical properties," Meyerson told Reuters in an interview.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strained_silicon Strained silicon is a layer of silicon in which the silicon atoms are stretched beyond their normal interatomic distance. This is accomplished by putting the layer of silicon over a substrate of silicon germanium (SiGe). As the atoms in the silicon layer align with the atoms in the silicon germanium layer where the atoms are farther apart, the silicon atoms become stretched. The electrons in strained silicon move 70% faster allowing strained silicon transistors to operate 35% faster.
While it may be a hot attack vector, I don't see why it's an infection problem in the corporate world. Everything depends on the user being able to download & execute the payload. If it's a home user, there aren't may protections in place to save them.
In a corporate environment, downloads should be filtered to begin with. This prevents the vast majority of spyware encountered while browsing the web from being installed. It would also prevent users from downloading viral payloads linked to them though an IM application (I'm assuming external IM is allowed - whether or not that's a good idea is another debate). A security vulnerability directly related to a flaw in the official clients allowing instant victim to victim infection without contacting a 3rd party would bypass this security, but I don't recall having seen anything like that with the current from of IM viruses.
My point is that any company with a half decent security plan should already be blocking IM viruses' primary infection vector because in that context it's the same as spyware.
The problem isn't just with their client (albeit that's the viral spreading half), it's that people are downloading applications by clicking on links. How does a different content protect people from receiving the payload?
Did you read about the pebble bed reactors on wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pebble_bed_modular_re actor? They are significatly smaller than current reactors. China is investing heavily in them. With their modular design, they can be spread out in all reaches of their country. When demand grows in one area, they can just tack another on to meet it.
While it isn't as decentralized as everyone having their own solar roof & wind turbine, it's better than the supercentralized system we have now. Scientific American had a good article about them in January of 2002 (not available for free on web).
Give this man a medal. No one ever puts out ergonomic keyboards anymore. I REALLY want an ergonomic buckling spring keyboard, but alas the IBM M15 is nowhere to be found.
Reasonable steps?
Wouldn't closing the web broswer seem like a reasonable step of destroying the images? For all Joe A. User knows, closing his web browser removes all the content he was viewing. If he doesn't know that they're cached should he still be culpable?
Also - ANY company that is running SMS or Software Update Services (FREE on 2K+ Server) can simply not approve the update and it won't be distributed. Any company that implemented the optional blocking of SP2 when it was first released should be able to do this without hassle.
Right you are Ken. Mod Parent Up. MXC is hilarious, always good to tune into for a bit everynow and then. I know people who watch it regularly, but I just catch it when I happen to see it, and I never regret it.
Don't you understand? AOL is all about the CONTENT now. You know, everything you can find everywhere else for half the cost. And the warm fuzzy experience of having your hand held and your computer "protected". Don't you get that feeling too when you hear Julia Robert's voice??
"The upgrades for free users have hit some snags. Richardson confirmed that MSN is slightly behind schedule in completing the upgrade.
MSN has begun converting based on seniority, but it now expects to complete the upgrade by the end of the year rather than in the fall, Richardson said.

"Marketing", in its highest and most useful form, involves getting into the heads of your customers and understanding what they need before they know it themselves. But the future lies with people who are not your customers.
Indeed. That's what quality market research is about - anticipating where the market is headed and having products/services ready before your competitors to keep/gain customers.
Really? Are you calling professional PSS? I usually open a case or two each year and they're always the brightest, most articulate people. And they're usually based in the US. None of my half dozen PSS calls have gone to someone who wasn't in the US.
That's pretty cool and might work in some places where the coral hasn't already adapted (admittedly a LOT of places).
Coral has been adapting on its own to warming conditions though.
Along the Panama coast, warm water caused extensive bleaching in corals that had formed a symbiotic relationship with one type of Symbiodinium algae, known as clade C. But corals that joined forces with another algae type, clade D, that can tolerate higher temperatures, did not become bleached.

Is there some connection between multiple environmental sensitivies and chronic fatigue? It would be odd for you to have two rare diseases.
My mother has CFS. She also seems to suffer from environmental allergies, mainly an extreme sensitivity to chemicals, like those found in household cleaning products. Even indirect contact can get her feeling badly. The chemical sensitivity is a more recent development than CFS.

Bring this whole debacle to the FTC's attention. Innundate them with requests so they'll be forced to take action.

Why is this modded so high? It may be interesting, but it certainly isn't correct.
v ._Grokster%2C_Ltd.
Grokster wasn't rulled illegal - the judges never made a ruling on that. From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MGM_Studios%2C_Inc._
"None of the opinions said definitely whether or not Grokster did induce infringement or whether Grokster was liable."

That's all fine and great, but you can't get a split/ergonomic buckling spring keyboard ANYWHERE ( like the IBM M15 )
