So IE has vulnerabilities that are exploited all the time by crackers and script kiddies, but isn't that mainly due to software having its inherient holes and bugs? Every piece of software out there has its bugs, whether we know about them or not. Given that IE has a commanding lead on the browser platform, doesn't that just give people a reason to target IE? No one likes #1, and when you're at the top, you're constantly fighting people's criticism and attacks.
So my question is, when Firefox gets to be #1, won't that just shift the attacks to Firefox?
What I meant to add was that you need a figure to spear head the movement. Get the largest SPAM sending country to take action, and others will follow.
I would not want a biological body. I want to be turned into a cyborg, just like "Cain" from RoboCop 2. Given the assumption that it is technically feasible to transplant a brain, I'm would guess grafting biology to technology would probably be easier.
Wasn't there a movie involving a brain transplant between a woman with a broken body and another who was brain dead?
They should switch the name of the platform from "Java 2" to "Java Two"... people are always reading the "2" as an integer value as opposed to a string value. Duh?!
If Schumacher is so good, let's see him win a championship with an '03 BAR Honda.
He's just lucky that he gets paired up with a great team and car. Any F1 driver with a smack of talent in a Ferrari can win the championship. Does that mean Barrichello is the 2nd greatest driver??
Given the technology that F1 uses, it's no surprise that the top team happens to have the largest budget. Unfortunately the difference between the top team's budget and the bottom team's budget is desparingly huge! This causes a problem in the competitiveness of the sport, which makes for boring races of follow the leader. You could essentially switch the top 10 drivers' rides and the race order would be still ranked by manufacturer as opposed to driver talent, give or take one position.
There is a couple of problems with F1 today. Not enough teams have the money to compete at such a level, yet at the same time, you can't cap the budget. F1 is supposed to be the TOP OF THE LINE technology, bleeding edge stuff. When you restrict things like that, are you really getting "Formula One" anymore? More like "Formula 1.36".
What's going to wake up F1 is when you get CART cars which have rules governing the make up of the cars going just as fast as F1 cars. CART = F1 = no more F1. (yeah, I know, bad math)
I don't have a solution to this, other than having the top team release its research at the end of the season to the lower teams. How else can you even out the competition without capping budgets, or restricting advances in technology?

Just as a note, China sends 6.2%, South Korea 5.8% and Brasil is even less.

I suppose you can file this under the $4000 toilet seats and $50/nut and bolt combo.
The money is used to secretly funnel funding to UFO research.
