Today, we celebrate the first glorious anniversary of the Information Purification Directives. We have created for the first time in all history, a garden of pure ideology. Where each worker may bloom secure from the pests of contradictory and confusing truths. Our Unification of Thoughts is more powerful a weapon than any fleet or army on earth. We are one people, with one will, one resolve, one cause. Our enemies shall talk themselves to death and we will bury them with their own confusion. We shall prevail!
On January 24th, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you'll see why 1984 won't be like 1984.
Because Apple will wait till 2010.
Telescreens are most prominently featured in George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four... They are television and security camera-like devices used by the ruling Party in Oceania to keep its subjects under constant surveillance, thus eliminating the chance of secret conspiracies against Oceania.
Replace Telescreens with "iPhone", ruling Party with "Apple", and Oceania with "AT&T". Irony at it's best.
This is old news to me. I have been using PayPal's virtual debt card for at least a year or two to pay for many of my online services that require a credit card. The system was pretty simple: you went to PayPal's website and typed in the URL of the store or service you wanted and then you would be redirected to the site along with a pop-up window of your virtual debt card information to use. I used it a number of times and then it disappeared off PayPal's website, but the card number generated for my account kept working and so I kept using it. What was strange was I never received a CCV code and I would just enter anything like 000 or something random when it was required.
It also has an annoying 'advertisement clause', like in the earlier BSD license.

And it also has a few other annoyances, such as required documentation for modifications and other copyright notices. All and all, it's still good and many people do these things, but it's still troublesome to have it as a requirement.
Ya, it's 3.4.2.
GNU GCC has been updated from 3.3.3-prerelease as of 6 November 2003 to 3.4.2-prerelease as of 28 July 2004.

The release notes say the same thing for the other platforms as well.
ClamAV, A GPL virus scanner featuring:
* command-line scanner
* fast, multi-threaded daemon
* milter interface for sendmail
* database updater with support for digital signatures
* virus scanner C library
* on-access scanning (Linux and FreeBSD)
* detection of over 20000 viruses, worms and trojans
* built-in support for RAR (2.0), Zip, Gzip, Bzip2
* built-in support for Mbox, Maildir and raw mail files
I use ClamAV on my mail server and it works pretty good.
There is also an open source windows version called ClamWin Antivirus.
Other anti-virus programs, like the open source ClamAV, can not disinfect files. According to them: "cleaning viruses from files is virtually pointless these days. It is very seldom that there is anything useful left after cleaning, and even if there is, would you trust it?"
