Hey, I want to mark this. Here's a random comment:
Probably the very best reward of a martial art is to grow the awareness of genuinely rewarding alternatives to simian violence, from a position of strength.
Because, in addition to the short "dit" and long "dah" tones, the 3rd and 4th information elements of Morse Code are: 3.) Dit-length spaces between letters. 4.) Dah-length spaces between words.
Without these, it would be like trying to read a book without any spaces between words and paragraphs, only much, much more difficult, for more than the length of a sentence you were already expecting to receive.
"Want to show how much better than Microsoft you are? Write a self-replicating program that patches holes instead of exploiting them."
I'm no programmer yet, but by heaven, I second the challenge!
So there are risks?
Redmond is apparently too comfortable in its monopoly to fulfill its ethical responsibilities to its captive market of Widows users So those responsibilities are fair game to anyone competent enough to take them away.
I'd be sorry about the breakage, but it sure beats the annoyance and loss associated with a destructive hack based on the same exploit.
It would take more advancement of being, on both a spiritual and a mental level, to do this constructive tour-de-force than the low standard required of virus writing, which is, frankly, morally retarded, to be exact: The meaning of 'retarded' simply being: "A little slow; or held back along the way of advancement."
Anyway, the resulting research might put some light on 'Opening' Windows.
There's got to to be lots more
where this came from.
This particular sample was a lucky find,
being a mere 25 light-years away.
Could this lead to predicting similar
(or better) environments beyond such
easy eyeshot?
There is a theoretical physicist in the UK supporting himself as
a tutor while working on getting a plasma to contain
itself with the electric/magnetic fields that arise from it's own vortex.
He's experiencing some technical difficulties at this time
jump-starting the vortex, but hey, if it was easy everyone would do it.
So far, he has managed to create a tornado in a petri dish
No, I am not making this up.

Tempting though it is, I am going to
resist the temptation to install Windows
just to run this app.
If I want to look at things from the air,
I'll just have to get in my airplane and fly
around.
Bastards.
IT'S A SHINY OBJECT!!!
YES!
...and how helpful they are likely
Thank you.
I think that is the essential question:
"What hope, if any, would you
have of clearing the way for us to
do our best work? Explain."

This might be a good time for me to start learning parallel architectures.
For now, Morse code recognition is more
reliable and less resource-costly than
speech recognition.
And morse code can be spoken e.g. "di dah dit..."
Maybe this won't change your desk peripherals,
but for low-end uses like PICs and handhelds,
it has much potential.
I'm working on a $15 multimeter that understands
my spoken commands, and is smaller than its own
battery.
I nominate this as "Best Use of Hard-Wired Wetware".
"How whould you know the differance between at@atat.com and atat@at.com?"
It's a matter of timing.
The "dits" and "dahs" are punctuated with
long and short spaces.
I imagine the brain processes it
much like it does music.
And, actually, Morse isn't binary;
It's quaternary.
Because, in addition to the short
"dit" and long "dah" tones, the 3rd and
4th information elements of Morse Code are:
3.) Dit-length spaces between letters.
4.) Dah-length spaces between words.

But MS could not possibly like that very much...

Still, every day brings a choice:
1) Continue to bite the bullet out of FUD or...
2) Go back to the beginning of the learning curve with the kids.
