Oh great, not only do I have to worry about computer virii, now I gotta deal with real infections? Or does that mean that MS is giving out penicillin with each new copy of Windows?
I would think that we would like our data to last forever, but maybe it's just me.
That's not the point of TFA at all. They're talking about finding ways to basically note the shelf life of the media itself, i.e. the quality of the product.
"Children are playing a game that encourages them to have sex with prostitutes and then murder them...This is a silent epidemic of media desensitisation that teaches kids it's OK to diss people because they are a woman, they're a different colour or they're from a different place."
No, kids are taught that it's OK to kill hookers, and it's better if they have sex with them first so they don't go raping later.
I read an article from SecurityFocus a while back that had the suggestion of using song lyrics as a password. In the example it gave, the first line from Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" was used. Thus the line:
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold

Of course, you would then add in caps, numbers, or non-alpha characters as you see fit. And if you're thinking of hanging the "decryption key" on your cube wall, it's much less conspicuous with song lyrics than a sentence such as the parent's example.
The LOC has announced that they are accepting volunteers to digitize texts. Their first volunteer is Earl the night janitor, who has been busily keying in the last 20 years of New York City phone books. He hopes to move on to Chicago soon.
Would that be Kelsey Grammer? I know he's had his problems, but I don't think he's degraded that badly. Oh, you meant grammar...
And yes, I read your P.S. regarding spell checking. It seems a bit puzzling that you would prove your point by showing your own level of degradation, but to each his own.
Apple today announced a lawsuit against Business 2.0 for engaging in speculation of rumoured innovations, as well as all Business 2.0 subscribers, on the basis of "receiving stolen property" by reading the article. Mr. Robert Brunner has been singled out by Apple for breaking a non-disclosure agreement that stipulated he was not allowed to speculate, imagine, desire, or dream anything that Apple may or may not do. Apple is now attempting to track down anyone who may have read the article online, in order to append their names to the suit. Asked for comment, Apple CEO Steve Jobs did so but then had reporters sign NDA's and forbade them to print his comment.

What about people using their chips to control chips implanted into other people? Anyone seen Scanners recently?
Microsoft brings out their VD service

Perhaps they should've taken out Windows Media Player to shorten the download.
I see TiVo is involved with this project, so I'm guessing it's commercial-free television.
I wouldn't assume that. This story about TiVo ads "popped up" two days ago.
According to this story, NBC Universal is looking to buy out Microsoft.

Sure, he uses MyGTR.
Google for nerds. Google that matters.

He better not try to program with Metafor.
I'm a sniper, you insensitive clod!
...TiVo has basically nullified one of their main selling points.
TiVo. Skip other commercials, but watch ours.

It's just a code word...
PeRs0Nal projects.
why did Enterprise disappear for the month of March?
Wormholes? Maybe they had some untelevised adventures. The characters do have a life outside the show, you know.

Is there some mysterious EULA that I accepted by being born?
The baby footprints they take when you're born constitute acceptance of the EULA.
It was all fun and games as long as it was U.S. citizens, but now that they've rolled a Swede, the streets will run red with blood!
As opposed to the Nebraska Beach Boys?
Gives new meaning to the term "kid gloves".
...they broke Marc Bolan apart and found soft tissue inside?

I, for one, welcome our new Linux Uberlords.
I won't believe it until I hear it from Netcraft.
