Perhaps I am missing something, but it seems to me that ISPs could stop this stuff. For the MyDoom worm, as well as others, if the major ISPs blocked windows executable attachments, they would never get any traction. This new virus is just a piggy back on the original one, so it would never have happened either.
I read this book earlier this year. I liked it, but there were parts that really put me to sleep. I was a math major, and I have a master's in CS. I liked very much the history and the theory. I just thought the endless thorough debunking of rediculous claims regarding the golden ratio were, although perhaps someone had to do it, really boring.
I can't seem to find any comments about the person who has spent $29,500 on the itunes store. If I am not mistaken, this is about one out of every 1,000 songs bought on the service so far. I wonder how many people have bought more than 1,000 songs? I wonder how many different people have bought songs...
I was also disappointed by the price, but then I looked at the competition (http://common.ziffdavisinternet.com/download/0/22 69/summaryoffeatures.pdf), and I realized that my disappointment was rooted only in the fact that I had heard rumors about $100, and then $200.
