Pfft. No. Haven't you been reading the papers? They're full of protesters being arrested (but then let go after a day because they can't be legally charged with anything) and cities instituting youth curfews (as a "tool for law enforcement to arrest 'suspicious' looking youngsters"). We're moving to a state whereby they can (and do) harress or arrest you for anything they feel like.
I'd vote for any party that promised to reverse this, but none of them that have a chance of winning care (read Democrat and Republican).
Thank you, thank you so much. I just switched to Linux, but I've been a long time user of Windows and never had a serious problem. But the best example here is whenever somebody on Slashdot says they've been running Windows for years and haven't had a single security breach. This gets modded to +2 Informative. Then somebody says something along the lines of "Well, how do you know?" This person then gets modded to +5 Insightful.
Bloody hell. The competent of us do have firewalls, antivirus software, Firefox, and antispyware software. We get a tick if we don't update these and the OS, and the Office suite, twice daily. We do open up task manager from time to time and look at processes (no not applications, processes). We do occaisonally cmd -> netstat. We have some idea of how a zombied machine looks like (we've cleaned out friends with such enough). We know with to about as much degree as possible whether or not we're running a compromised box.
How the bloody hell do you Linux people know for sure you're not all compromised? (Exploits for Linux aren't completely unheard of, just harder to find) You do (or don't) the same way we do. We're not all clueless. In fact if you bothered to step outside your close circle of propaganda-spewing cronies for five seconds you'd find a surprising number of us aren't.
I for one can't stand hearing you people talk about FUD anymore without looking in a mirror.
Alright, I hate (for my karma's sake) to ask this question, but it has to be asked. What in the heck are you people talking about? Is there a screenshot I should look for somewhere? I have run Firefox and read Slashdot for the past 6 months without once seeing an problem.
Have to thank you for this. I've used Filterset.G for about a month now, and I love it. Too bad group filtering with auto-update isn't supported natively in AdBlock.
Uh. No. Firefox took 1 week to get the money and got way more money than they needed. Plus they were paying normal rates. It did, however, take 3 months for the ad to run. This angered many. Get your facts straight.

For those not so fortunate you can watch Bill's keynote here. Not nearly as good as Job's keynotes, but it has Conan O'Brien. You can also see the two errors that got so much attention right after CES. 1 hour. Rated G for Gates.
Well, even if you used an installer program (as I did) that is no excuse for not securing it. I'll be darned if I leave the root password as a default to anything. Not to mention not rename it to something besides root. Not to mention let anyone access it besides localhost. Not to mention not have all ports but those necessary firewalled.
Still, maybe a good idea for those install apps would be an easy GUI window prompting you to change those values and providing input fields to do so. I mean, it isn't easy to correctly edit the user table of the mysql database through PHPMyAdmin without consulting documentation. I trashed a few installs before I learned how. Maybe that could be another thing to work on, a better user interface for editing those values under PHPMyAdmin. It currently warns you about a blank root password, but it is slightly above the level of a novice to figure out how to fix that.
I suggest you fix that for starters. The web can be an absolutely huge customer draw if you let it. The idea here is to become a (minor) authority on your subject in order to attract interest. If people Google for information on the Japanese language and culture, and your site provides it in detail and in a pleasing-to-the-eye manner, a percentage will translate into customers. Its a chance to demonstrate your style of teaching and gets word of mouth if done properly. This kind of marketing is a lot more effective than promotions or banner ads.
Okay, just pulled it. The page now redirects to Coral Cache which has a copy of it.

MirrorDot appears to be down at the moment. In the meantime I mirrored it here. Unfortunately my web host isn't that generous so I'll probably take it down very shortly. Those that want to mirror the mirror can grab a zip file copy here
I'm very skeptical of the viability of this for a consumer market and I'm pretty certain I can get 3 randomly selected users to agree with me. Firstly, the large amounts of antennas would suggest this can't make it outside of a research lab. Secondly, you can't even get 54Mbps without paying thousands of dollars per month WITH WIRES. Maybe they could transmit this much between the tower with a single client (scalability anyone?) but if our current wired infrastructure has trouble managing 100 Mbps then what good will that link be?
Anyway, my point here is that maybe you'll see a speed increase but don't expect anything in the real world faster than a wireless G setup anytime soon. It'd be damn cool though.
Ehem. I managed to download and install SP2 onto a HP desktop system using nothing but a 28.8 AOL dialup. Sure, it took overnight, but it worked just fine. Further, you really can't say Microsoft has done any less than they could to fix this. I know you don't make that claim, but that seems the obvious implication of all this. They fixed the holes, they added an acceptable firewall (despite the idiocy the ZoneAlarm/BlackICE/etc crowd have been spewing), they marketed this quite a bit, and they made it free to obtain a CD. What more do you want?
Yes, I realize we're in a war here but can't it be a civilized war?
Well, I can't access the page currently but if it is what I think it is this has already been done. A high school student I knew built a optical mouse motion sensor as a project. It tracked the floor, and could be used as a human-interface controller for a robot or as the robot's position tracking mechanism.
He interfaced it to a microcontroller as well, which was the real difficult part. PS2 to a serial port, then the software to interpret it. Unfortunately the thing was handicapped by the 8 bit memory, but it was still pretty darn cool.
This was part of Andrew's Leap, a program sponsored by CMU and taught by professors to a select few high school students. Hopefully what this doctor has done is a bit more complicated.
No problems here. I use a copy of 1.0 for about half of the day every day. I used PR1.0, 1.0 RC1, and 1.0 RC2 about as much. 1.0 has yet to crash on me.
Dude, it was a cookie. I've gotten plenty of Spybot warnings about Avenue A as well and every last one of them have been about cookies. What you're seeing is a third party advertiser attempt to set a cookie from their ad in order to track you. I think I'm not alone in saying that I'd prefer not to be tracked, but wouldn't call it Spyware and wouldn't blame Microsoft one bit for allowing a cookie to be set.
