i was not referring to that software, just your suggestions to use google. Just because something comes up high in the google results does not mean it is safe.

actually since I ran windows 98 and ME for several years i would know, not once did i get attacked by a remote exploit, now sure there are lots of ways for an infected executable or a local user to escalate privlidges, due to almost no isolation of processes, but win 9x is nearly impenetrable from the outside since it does not run network services the way NT/200(0|3)/XP does... speaking of dumb as a bag (box?) of rocks
how about messing with the data itself, buffer overflow/RFID virus that shuts down the whole store network every time it scans your hat, or putting Hex Messages in your tags (DEADBEEF)
at work there was a butter tub display that activated it's speaker when someone walked by, i wanted to smash the damned thing every day, i don't remember what happened to it, though i assume it wasn't an accident.

Again with the hint: Type "free antivirus software" into Google.
So you are the guy telling people to download random software from the internet and install it. Thank you very much.

yup, because blaster, sasser, sobig and mydoom all were able to infect '98 machines. oh wait, what's that they didn't? it's actually the windows XP machines which were infected oops i guess your arguement just got shot to hell.
These authentic looking bounce messages have attachments that you're going to open, right? Don't do it! That's the payload that delivers the trojan/worm. To an improperly secured system
i agree completely, I have an AverMedia card in my machine but have not installed the drivers for it since my last re-format, the damned thing had bad windows drivers (crossbar driver would fail to install properly)
Need feedback. Electrical shocks from excessive voice volume. Mandatory on all phones. That'll train 'em. And they're less likely to bitch about the price after a few more braincells are fried
i'd rather have a system on the cell tower, if you talk too loud your call gets dropped.
actually cell phones on airplanes causes problems with the cell network, wih the phone "visible" to many towers rather than one or two each phone uses far more network resources and can cause dropped calls on the ground.
actually when i got my phone it was in the middle to upper range of phones, due to extended battery life, high quality signal and audio circuits, and physically robust construction.
I would think so, i only posted ones i could confirm quickly, my list was not intended to be a complete discription of everything that came from OS/360
so you don't like verison because they use phones that make calls and have a large service area? if i wanted "features" i'd get a laptop or PDA, Phones are for mking calls and storing basic contact info.
It evolved into OS/370 than OS/390 (zSeries) and this line of systems is still sold today. Nice try but failing to sell the OS did not doom it to failure as your post implies.
actually a better system for libraries would be to seperate their out-time database from their member database. the member DB only stores [bookDue, bookValue, bookLent], while the book DB stores [bookDue, bookValue]. BookDue being accurate to whole days, and bookDue being xDays+rand(1,3), and bookValue being rounded to $2. this way a person failing to return a book will pay the fine, and that fine will go into a replacement fund, which is used to replace unreturned books after X days past the bookDue date. the records are kept well enough to maintain an accurate collection and financially neutral, but eliminates direct book-member associations from current records, even for unreturned books. the only problem is that a member would be required to return to the librarian rather than dropping off in a book return slot and requires books be borrowed/returned in complete groups, but that is a small price for freedom.

Bold portion my addition.

simple, when dropping the call play a recording, "Your call has been disconnected because you are a loud mouthed asshole"
well sound quality is, when the sound comes in crisper people are less likely to yell int the phone.

CDMA is easier to use with added features and has superior range/sound quality.
IIRC the clock circuits in consumer electronics such as games, CD-players, radios, and GPS devices can cause problems.
i wiah they would just allow the passengers to do a "kick vote" and jettison the baby.

where is the OS/360 today

never let the facts get in the way of a good "OMFG they are opressing us" article.
just set up a small DNS server for your network, which points all requests from unknown machines to goat.cx
