i was under the impression, that unwritten parts and 0's would be basically the same. i might be wrong on that one, though. IIRC it was also possible to spot 0 area's (like a long silent break before a "hidden track" starts) on audio cd's. you can definitley see visible lines between songs on some audio cd's.
if you look closely at a burned CDR, you will notice that there's a visible difference between written an non-written parts of the surface. In other words 0's look different then 1's. I always planned to write an app to take advantage of this in order to burn images to a disc surface (just normal CDRs, without burning any useful data to it, of course), but never got around to really investigate this thoroughly.

I'm pretty sure that I have received PayPal scam in this exact form as long as a few month ago. Yes, with the %01 character before the '@' - as a Safari user i saw that character, and i was always wondering what it was used for.

I've always wondered if there isn't a good aproach to attack Spam using some kind of "distributed anti-spam" software - based on the fact that each spam message is sent to millions of recipients. If one (or 10, or 100,..., to prevent fraud) of the recipients would mark the message as spam, the MD5 hash of the message body would be added to a central spam list, and all other clients receiving the message could just compare it against the list, see that it's spam, and - flush- there it goes.. This should efficiently kill a very large percentage of spam to ever reach the end user (that is until spammers find out how to make each message they send unique;-) ). has anyone ever tried something like this? --hmm.. otherwise I should patent this idea;-)

considering the G5's 'smart' airflow design, engineering the case like one big air channel, I would imagine that 1100 of these, if aligned correctly, could sum up to quite a nice breeze...
It actually seems to work quite well. unfortunatly no one seems to be aware of it and playing it on the net..
unfortunatly the download link seems to be down right now..

What is this "paper" you're talking about? I haven't used 5 1/4 inch floppys in ages..

If we aren't able to make bug-free software, no one else should be.. So if they try to, we'll sue the hell out of them!!
