Maybe Katie.com should become a page, where domain hijacking victims can find help. I know that Katie is really pissed off by now, but on the other side, now she has some experience with this kind of stuff.
"Furthermore, P2P file-sharing technology can allow its users to access the files of other
users, even when the computer is "off" if the computer itself is connected to the Internet via
broadband."
Yes. And maybe even they can send me a virus that blows my monitor up.
Another good example for the assumption that 42 individuals with limited knowledge can make the life harder for unlimited numbers of users.
The fact is, that the Mad Cow Disease and the Alzheimer are close relatives. The pathological mechanism of both diseases is almost the same. There is a protein (in cause of Alzheimer it is the Tau protein), which has 2 stable conformations. One of those conformations is the natural, healthy and useful one, the other is the bad one. It is capable of converting the healthy conformation into the infectious one. It is stable to proteases. It forms aggregates that kill the infected cell.
The only difference is, that Alzheimer is not infectious. It cannot be transferred from one person to another by eating the infected ones brain. And, it is unclear, what causes the Tau protein co convert to the infectious form.
The point of this research is, that now it is 100% sure, that the prions cause the spongiform encephalitis. There were theories, that spongiform encephalities are caused by some kind of a virus or bacteria, and the prion is just a byproduct of the pathologic process. Last month, some japanese research team produced knockouted mice, that had no copy of the PrPC gene, that is responsible for the cellular (normal folded) prion protein. Theese mice could not develop spongiform encephlaitis, even if injected with prion proteins. As for creating a vaccine, I think this is not going to happen. The healthy prion protein is located on the outer membrane of the neuron cell (its function is still unclear). The infectious prion is basicaly the same protein (it has the same primary structure, the same aminoacid sequence), only its tercial (3D) structure has the wrong twist. This makes the protein resistent to proteases, enzymes that destroy unneeded or redundant proteins. Also, this new structure is energeticaly stable, so the protein tends to remain in that state. And, and this is the most important part, in this infectious state sticks to healthy prion proteins and converts them to the infectious state. This results in ladder like structures, that in the final stage fill out the entire neuron and kill it. My point is, that an immunisation with the infectious prion protein would result in antibodies attacking the neuron cells, having the healthy prion protein on their surface. And this would be not very helpful.
Actually, to stop eating meat doesn't save you from anything like a spongiform encephalopathy. By the latest research, milk is considered to be absolutely secure, meat as secure, inner organs like the liver or spleen as possibly risky and brain as risky. But even if you avoid eating cow meat at all, there are many cosmetic products that contain ingredients made from cow inner organs and brains. Cow brain protein is used to make perfumes, the collagen from cow ligaments is used to make gelatine that is used in lotions, body oils an various others cosmetic products.
According to this research I should be something between a security guy, a developer and a project manager. Hell. I should do more to get such a job than just listen to music...
i wonder... will this talk about the copy protection cause even more people to copy this CD, just to see if it can be copied? btw: is the firewall not suposed to stop this mofo from installing?
yes, i definitely see more positives than negatives. imagine walking inside your bloody office, turning this thingie on and appear in some rainforrest, or whatever you like, with your desk in the middle. for me, it sounds as the first step to a holodeck.
atiquated? look at the current space shuttle design. it is 30 years old. NASA uses technology that is reliable, and trusts no revolutionary designs. i think 20 years is a very realistic guess.
you would be suprised, but yes, HIV's genome accepts patches every time it leaves an infected cell. in fact, during the replication cycle its genome is altered, mutated due to inperfect copying by the HIV polymerase. the chnges can be advantageous for the virus, or the result can be a defect particle.
how about this one:
there is a epidemy of influenza. sure, you can be vaccinated, but there are many of those that are not. and these folks increase the risk of infecting other folks, that are not vaccinated.
and now, some essential organization, whose employees are not immunized gets infected (yeah, an emergent situation...) and is out of bussines. and the vaccinated ones, are now suffering from the influenza too, even if they have taken the precautions.
now who is the guilty one?
influenza?
the pharmaceutical company selling the vaccine?
the folks that are not immunized?
the folks that are immunized?

But I was not able to decipher it. Could someone help, please?

Oh wait!
Does that mean you have to pronounce it "VERY SANE" ?
No.
That means, they will start spreading the cracked version tomorrow.
There must be some security issue, in case his arm is severed. I think the acces to the chip is granted when he licks his own elbow.
sure.
Spam advertising sleep pills.
that would suggerst that there is an inteligence behind that government...
no, there was one.
his name was bruce banner.
well, this system allready exists. in panzer-limos, you are able to blow the front windshield away in case of such an emergency.
i wonder... will this talk about the copy protection cause even more people to copy this CD, just to see if it can be copied?
btw: is the firewall not suposed to stop this mofo from installing?
this sounds like my throat right now.
my great anti-microbial firewall had failed.
yes, i definitely see more positives than negatives.

simple policeman logic:
and what if two ships travel at the 99,9999% speed of light towards each other?
then someone on ship 1. measures the speed on ship 2.(supposed this is possible somehow).

2 possible scenarios:
1. captain: FIRE!
dialog box: do you really want to aply the main gun on the incoming missile? this action can cause the missile to stop functoning.
2. captain: FIRE!
dialog box: gun driver not installed.
hey
you are a trojan horse now.
how about this one:

the folks that are immunized?
were they moving on 3 roots?
slashing about with a poisonous sting?
and perhaps rattling with something?
no, sorry, i haven't seen those.
