You need to convince them to save the file, make it executable, and run it. The instructions are different for each MUA, and the default save-to directory may be different on each MUA, and may also differ between distros.
You have to either send a massive statically linked binary or get the system libraries right first time, or send an interpreted language program (ie, people can easily look at it to see what it does; even non-programmers can see nasty-looking strings and many of them are not going to be too happy about a big, opaque block of hex and a decrypter stub).
On Mandrake systems at any but the most token security levels, the user needs to be a member of the ntools group to use any network tools. Of course, if the admin mounted/home with the noexec or installed an SELinux kernel (which ships with Mandrake and several other distros) all bets are off.
If you want to send spam, you either have to code the SMTP yourself (and get it right) or depend on the sendmail binary being visible to the user.
There's not enough garlic in the world to make fox taste good in the best of circumstances. Making burnt fox taste good would require the help of some hallucinogenic drugs and the results would be whimsical at best.
There are places here where not even satphones work. Dad ran a mining camp just outside Mt Tom Price for a little while, which had a "phone booth", a white square meter painted onto the bare rock upon which one could stand and one's satphone may or may not work (it had good and bad days). One could also stand there with a cellular phone (CDMA or GSM) and some of them would work (the ones that did work, worked more reliably than the satphone).
The residents reckoned that it was all of the iron ore playing silly buggers with absorption and reflectance but nobody could say for sure. 'Phones simply did not work anywhere else near the campsite.
I have no idea how they discovered the "booth". I do know that if a real 'phone booth had been available, some wag would have loaded it onto a truck and sent it out there.
...suck. There are at least three different vectors along which - if I was a suicidal, homicidal maniac - get a few tons of high explosives (at a time, you could use several vectors at once or re-use a vector for several vehicles) into the middle of the domestic or international concourses (demolishing the terminal building and killing maybe two thousand people on a busy day), plus an essentially unlimited number of ways to get dozens of tons of HE onto the runway (and take out a plane as it landed or lifted off) or taxiway (and ram it into the terminal building, taking out several planes and scattering the buildingand everyone inside it into the car-park).
If I was a merely homicidal maniac, there are a large number of ways in which I could do the same with a reasonable chance of surviving it.
All of the above is as a lone maniac. Given a dozen selected vehicles, about forty tonnes of high explosives, and enough suicidal idiots to drive them all, converting all of Perth (WestOz) airport into a wasteland littered with the rubble of buildings and aircraft would take about five minutes.
With the addition of a few light aircraft and suitable idiots to fly them, rendering the runways themselves unusable would be a trivial addition. If you stole the vehicles it wouldn't even be expensive.
This scares me. Really, the only protection we have against this being done is a shortage of homicidal maniacs.
Sorry, but this phrase calls to mind an image of Odie putting a pistol against a hostess's temple.
in the entire histiory of domestic hijacking the best way ti survive was to sit down and shut up
Only in the short term.
This might (situational) help towards the survival of the passengers on that one plane, but the fact that the hijacker has a chance of surviving encourages repeat hijackings.
The Israelis are a long way from building the perfect society or anything (the widespread prejudice against goyim being an obvious failing), but one thing they generally get right is that the instant a hijacker is identified, they're dead. Not because of "sky marshals" or anything, but because many if not most of the passengers on the 'plane will attack them the first chance they get, instantly and without warning or quarter.
They still get the occasional hijacker due to the sheer, overwhelming hatred directed at them (some of it justifiable, none of it useful), but nothing like the USA and other Western countries suffer. Knowing that you are absolutely certain to die painfully and messily and very unlikely to accomplish your objective casts quite a different light on your view of the prospects. Very few suicidal idiots are both dedicated and skilled enough to face that without obviously giving themselves away.
If you want to make the case that evolution doesn't explain the origin of life, but does a good job of explaining the diversity of life, I'm not going to pick a fight with you.
Can't have one without the other. If chemical evolution doesn't work, there is nothing for biological evolution to work from.
If you're going to propose a kind of bizarre Creationism variant in which J Random Deity sets the ball rolling and then runs away and hides to see what happens, I'm going to start laughing again.
Your water wheel is "frozen in rock", not fossilised. Read your own articles.
I was about to start laughing at this one, too, until I realised that you don't have the option of walking up to it and tapping on it.
As well as the stone casing, both the wheel and the feed channel have both mineral interpenetration of the wood and mineral replacement.
"Frozen in rock" would imply ice encased in stone. Not even Augusta gets snow every year (or every decade); constant ice is out of the question. People surf there basically year-round.

...that's a true story. Some tests say I'm a genius, others than I'm quite average. Real life reflects neither.

And so on.
Heck, even CMD.EXE uses tabs, just not the kind of tabs you're thinking of.
And yes, I did middle-click in Konqueror and reply to this in a new tab.

Whatever gave you that idea? It's never happened before, has it?
Cue litany of missed shipment dates and pruned feature lists (hello, Shorthorn?) from people taking me seriously
I was actually quite surprised that I had to blip over so many comments to find someone who'd picked up on that.
I wonder if we could have a "+0, Inevitable" mod? (-:
No shit? I don't want to be around when some mad scientist crosses one with this.
"Indiiiiiiie!"

So play nice. (-:
Refer to the third truth.
If I get a reply from them, I'll post it here.

William of Ockham must be pissing himself laughing. Or spinning in his grave. Or something. Goodness me!
