Um, the first ever computer viruses were written in Unix. Exploits to raise user permissions are well known, copying files to overwrite other files of the same access level would do it for exmaple.
I'm sure windows update would find that setup useful, or anything else that needs to be patched for that matter. Not all worms write to the hard drive, SQL Slammer for example was memory resident and was removed upon a system reboot. The problem came with machines being scanned so many times that unpactched systems or not having the attacked ports blocked, meant machines could be reinfected after a very short period of time. Read Only systems wouldn't help.
Possible solutions would be in throttling outgoing repetitive traffic, (see Throttling Viruses: Restricting Propagation to Defeat Malicious Mobile Code by MM Williamson for more details on this technique) dynamic detection and dropping of malicious packets and user vigilance.

How long before the online casinos employ their own bots to win money back? Not only does it create the appearence that the casino is popular (lots of users) but if the bots are profitable then the casio could make a lot of money.
Whether this is illegal or not is the question, along with the ethics doing it.
Terrorism: The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.
Such as intimidating society with the ability demand documents without any from of defence for the "citizen" and coercing society by preventing them from disclosing a subpoena against them?
Remember people in Newspeak, it is not "good, excellent, bad, and awful" but "good, plusgood, doubleplus good, or ungood."
Why don't you hire in a professional system admin to set everything up, and get some training to learn to basics, preferabilly from the same professional source that set up the network?
Something to be careful of, as it is a new owner they may be looking to expand your jobs to include other services which require more sys admin stuff in the future. Make sure they are aware that expanding from software production to servicing clients using the software could intale a whole area of system admin work to run it, and that you as the "admin guy" will probably not be able to do both development and system admin.
I agree that the 1% of the workload is optimistic, however if the user base is mostly computer savy it may be possible as they will (hopefully) maintain their own systems.:-)
We had to show working to explain how we got to the answer. The answer itself was only worth 1 out of a possible 4 usually. Using the calculator without any knowledge will only get you 25%, you need actual knowledge of how to do it to get the rest, the calculator can be used to verify you haven't made a stupid mistake along the way.
I have this same situation with exams, I nearly always screwed up exams due to stress, but if a lecturer asked me anything on the exam paper in an every day situation I could answer them no problem.
I seriously believe that exams (or IQ tests) are a very inaccurate measurement of intelligence, after all if you spoke to a statistition about basing results from only one source they would probably yell at you for being so foolish! The best way is to take a series of results in a realistic senario. If the enviroment can have a serious effect on the subjects then the results would not be valid. Observing subjects in a stressed, non realistic enviroment and only taking one sample.. Statistics exams must be a contradiction to everything they try and teach!
"So apparently the secret lies in the use of new Piezo Inkjet Line Head technology, which prints at 600×600 dpi, but doesn't actually move at all. The ink is transferred at high speed as the paper passes underneath the static nozzles. In order to get the throughput, the printer contains a separate head for each colour, so that the paper receives all the ink in one high speed sweep"
Sounds impressive, although I wonder how it copes with wet ink on the pages. If they really are coming through at 150ppm then I suspect that the problem of still wet ink from the newly printed pages might mark the pages that land on top of it.
Still a vast improvement on my 6ppm printer I have at the moment.:-)
It would be interesting to define the 3 laws at the neural level, assuming that we as humans treat robots as second class citizens. If they have consiousness like we do, are they not one of us but in a different physical form? No wonder all fiction is centred on the AI rebelling, if it were a human consiousness locked in metal form no wonder it wants to fight back.
While I can't find the site at the moment, there is a project creating chatter bots that involve teaching bots like children allowing them to learn rules as they go along, using a punishment and reward system.
I have no idea what the number of neurons in the brain is for a child in comparison to an adult, but might that not make a large difference in how the wiring works?
Hmmm, I wonder if virus authors will start trying to target Macs as it becomes more apparent that they have a reasonable share in the market. I also wonder what effect a few consecutive attacks on Macs will have on the market if a lot of users switch mostly based on the safety of Macs being "virus free". If Windows were not the majority OS then malware writers would surely focus on an OS that will cause the most impact, even if it is harder to exploit!
A pen you say, I suggest extensive research and development to design such a contraption that can write at any angle and even in space! Millions can be spent! I'm sure it will be a vast improvement on anything currently in existance.. Someone pass me a pencil so I can write down a proposal for this idea!

He might be quite right, malware running on longhorn will have a option button saying "Do you want to install Bonzo?" with only an accept option. Yup, the user will be informed that software is being installed:-)

"skypeout might be cheap, but it isn't free."
Unless the recieving machine skype is running on has the same setup, and uses a free mobile to dial out? Could be possible maybe?
Unless it was REALLY big print or REALLY thick bindings.. ;-)

I'd have words with him if I were you..
"If your site has been registered for less than a year, then it counts against you."
Doesn't help new legitimate startup sites though, just like google was once.

But it was very accurate! I think a 0.8 rating is about right for friends. :-)
So in other words this formula is spot on, friends is shit. :-)

"By 2015, we could probably get processors with that kind of power from the local computer store"
Or a quantum computer to run like a brain.. many processes in parallel.
