Game developers and console makers say laws restricting game sales are unnecessary because their industry is doing a good job stopping minors from buying "Mature"-rated games.
Yeah right... just let uncle Bob who's 18 buy them and let the kids play it.
You're right on this. One possible reason why Nature rejects certain papers on global warming could be that those papers are flawed to begin with. Or (heaven forbid), biased.
As an apache-fan, I'd hate to say this, but that thing ain't gonna be hacked unless a new vulnerability in IIS6 is found. Possibly a buffer overflow in the SSL handler or something.
Technically, it would take about 6 to 7 months for someone to discover the vulnerability, and then design an exploit.
(Of course, according to Murphy's law, maybe the day after the contest is closed a new vulnerability will appear, making the server exploitable).
However, does that make IIS6 safer? Frankly, I don't know the answer.
Actually, if you do a google search on "I for one welcome * overlords" you'd notice that it's used in general to refer something that is natually evil. My point in here was that this bandwidth extortion wouldn't be possible (or would be much more limited) without the *evil* (hence overlords) zombie windows pc's around the world. And all thanks to Billy! (more evil).
How is it faster to use a proxy than to just get the content straight from the server?
If the pages are static, I think google could use the same copy for different IP's.
But this would also mean that google would get a massive overload when people start using it. Frankly I doubt that even google can provide the infrastructure to become a global centralized proxy.
Of course, this could also be used to find vulnerabilities and so on.
And to fix them, which is most important. Someone should research on this and check if it's possible to use the tool as a vulnerability-finding software. Then publish his results so everyone can benefit from it, not just the hackers.

I don't *even* want to think what would happen in case of a coolant leakage. I mean, we know water conducts electricity, but we're talking metal here! (No I didn't RTFA, sorry)

I can't justify buying a book about a web browser.
Who says it's YOU who's gonna read it? (i.e. you could give it to a friend along with a CD with the latest Firefox version). To "spread the word".

..but we surely can DDOS it. /.'ers!!!

Man this really made me laugh. It's that like Matrix parody video. My favorite: Hedge trimming. lol!
Guys you NEED to see the photos! The article wouldn't be the same without them.
Cyrix? You mean those crappy CPU's which made your software crash for some stupid compatibility problem?
Oh yeah, that had NOTHING to do with them going out of business.(/sarcasm)

Hey why not make an alternative winxp? That will use the wine DLL's instead of Microsoft's.
We could call it WineOS and make it GPL. Hey that reminds me, what happened to ReactOS? Is it out of the radar or what?
i.e. to have a plugin to VisualStudio.NET
Or you could switch to wxWidgets.
welcome our Windows zombie machines overlords. (food for thought).

Specially with their reference to the word "dynamite" (Alfred Nobel was the inventor of dynamite).
By frozen, I'm guessing you mean poor Sarge was cryogenically frozen, right? What's the prognosis?
He's dead, Jim.

What? You expected an overlords joke?
AH NOW I GET IT! The windows stained glasses are the ones at the funeral chapel! Therefore, the sky and the clouds...

I'll help. Microsoft's methodology is anti-open source: "Crash early, crash often".

Specially with a dedicated website for posting these frauds.
Let's put a final to this. We MUST make a precedent. And we have to make a model punishment.
Yes, we have to invoke... Katana Tux! (grrrrr)
