The number of machines being turned into zombies every month make it pretty obvious that many users don't know how to protect their computers from attack.
What do you see your company doing to make PC's running Windows products more secure right out of the box and to keep them secure with little or no input from the user?
It's my understanding that they didn't have these problems with the old freon based insulation. Even though we know freon is not the most environmentally friendly substance known to man should NASA be allowed to use it for the few shuttle's they launch every year? What are we willing to trade to maintain the ability to put people into orbit? It seems that switching back to the old formula and limiting shuttle launches would buy time to research a workable alternative to the freon based foam without losing our ability to get people and supplies into orbit or to the Space Station.
I wonder what will happen if this warming trend only lasts ten or fifteen years and then the ice closes back in. Will they find enough natural resources that are worth risking having the returning ice crush millions of dollars worth of equipment if the temperature starts to drop again?.
It is nice to think that there are still people out there who are so eager to explore this new area. As I watch people going to the front window in our office to trigger the remote starters on their cars (it's 20F here today) I can hardly imagine being able to find enough people to fill a helicopter that would be willing to brave that kind of extreme weather!
I was just reading that LCD was expected to beat out plasma tecnology for televisions in the long run. I would think that this patent would also apply to LCD televisions. Has LCD already cornered the PC monitor market? I've always wondered why there weren't more plasma displays available for my computer....
I predict that within a hundred years cars will be twice as large, get half the mileage, and be so expensive that only the five richest kings of Europe can afford them.
the part where Han swaps that small bag of sand for the gold idol. Everybody knows that he would have needed a MUCH bigger bag of sand to match the weight of that thing. Sheesh, pay attention people.
Well the first thing I would suggest is that DSL and Cable companies explain to users that they should have a firewall and some up-to-date antivirus software installed! Allowing them to get online without understanding the risks is NOT doing them a favor. A large percentage of computers that I have seen come in for service belong to people who don't understand that they are vulnerable. When you explain things to them they ask "Why didn't my DSL provider tell me this?". Now they are facing paying for some security software and the repair bill.

Your computer didn't beat you at chess, a programmer did.
When you have a computer that can beat you at chess without having a chess program installed, it's time to be concerned.

I think you misspelled "idiot" there.
I'm betting this is one server that won't feel the "Slashdot Effect".

Is such a thing possible?
;)
We'll never know untill we try

Right, because you need another way to rebut the only conservative news network out there.
If I have to put up with ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and MSNBC you can suffer through Fox News.

1) Assume the number of stars in the Universe is near infinity(Or some very large number).
2) Assume that the odds of life evolving are very, very small.
You're going to end up with life evolving a great many times.

We'll need one appropriately surly, slightly alchoholic, mechanical genius Scottsman per ship please.
It will take some careful screening, but who else could keep all of the hardware required for this working?
