The shuttles were a great idea, when they were made. Nowadays they're gigantic, dangerous, unwieldy things with ancient technology. We need to stop wasting money trying to fix them and just abandon the whole thing, working on this replacement instead.
Or come up with some other neat, small, and cheaper things like Stardust. Now that was cool.
Dr Mirza said: "There was a massive backlog of computers to analyse. Some of them couldn't be looked at for over 90 days."
So basically, the 90-day period is not because that's how long their fancy "supercomputer" needs to crack it, but because they are unable to cope with the number of computers confiscated from their terrorist suspects. Sounds like they need an additional supercomputer.
Yes, but then all you have to do is rootkit the virus scanner! Then you can watch (or rather, not watch) the giant shadow war going on behind the scenes as various unseen programs try to thwart each other! It's all in good fun.
Netcat is definitely the way to go. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the telnet program is generally less useful for testing services that don't use telnet-style protocol than netcat, which just opens a plain no-frills TCP connection. It gets the job done, and quicker, because that is what it was designed for.
The same thing is happening to TV news and weather programs. I can't recall the last time I sat and watched an evening news program for any length of time, and I only rarely get weather info from television. More often than not I just glance over Google News and then at my ForecastFox bar in Firefox. That tells me all I need to know, and from enough different sources that I can easily decide what's biased and what's not.
Given that, who needs the hassle of surfing channels and listening to news anchors blather endlessly about the state of post-Katrina New Orleans? I prefer my information to be served up quickly, in a format where I don't have to wait for commercial breaks.
The worm also places several spyware and adware applications, including 180Solutions, Zango, the Freepod Toolbar, MaxSearch, Media Gateway and SearchMiracle, the company added.
So, would you like some spyware with your virus at no extra charge? I know this is fairly common, but does this imply that the people that make the viruses are the same ones that make the spyware we have grown to know and love? It seems that the line between "spyware" and "malware/viruses" gets more blurry every day.

Wow. Just wow. Obi-Wan's probably turning in his grave (... or maybe not. wafting around in the force or whatever) over that one.
"It's the Death Star." Honestly.

"liable for libel". Try saying *that* 5 times fast.
There should be a mod for "+1, Creepy".

Yeah, I use testing. I guess I should have been more specific. ;)
apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade
Oh. Not everyone uses Debian, right, sorry. They should, though. *mumbles*

can be slipped into small incisions "I think you're bugged." Agent Smith would *love* this idea.
