Business lost = all that customers future business
But don't forget, that business probably went to someone else, so the alternate vendor should be reporting a profit from not being hit by the virus, and the net cost to the industry(the $17billion mentioned in the article) should not count lost business...
One possibly non-obvious thing about using kinput2/kterm is that you need to hit a special key sequence to start kana-kanji conversion, i think it defaults to shift-space...
Another problem with using it for web pages is that (at least the last time i tried) mozilla doesn't seem to want to copy kanji to the clipboard to paste into the dictionary program.
The 2 solutions i've tried are www.rikai.com as someone else mentioned, which will grab a page and add nice little javascript popups to all the kanji, and using w3 mode to read the web page in emacs, and using edict.el for dictionary lookup(or cut and paste into xjdic). Both work fairly well, rikai is probably a bit easier to use, but working in emacs seems a bit easier if i want to chop out a difficult chunk and make notes as i try to read it....
First, the online reference of choice for Japanese computing...Jim Breen's web site and ftp archive (or a mirror).
For western Win32 versions before win2k, i think you are limited to things like this hack from MS for IE5, which allows CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) input in IE5, Word2000, and Outlook, or to using apps which handle the language on their own.
For X (should apply to most versions/most *nix variants), you need fonts (included with XFree86, possibly in one of the optional font packages), an Input Method (IM) like kinput2 and a kana-kanji conversion server like Canna or WNN. You probably also will need localized variants of many apps, kterm for xterm, jvim for vi/vim, etc. Recent Emacs should work, look for 'International Character Set Support' in the emacs info pages for details. Mozilla handles display fairly well, though i haven't messed with setting it up for input yet. XJDIC (or a variant) rounds out the list of things to get, providing a nice Japanese-English and English-Japanese dictionary.
Kon2 handles using CJK from the linux console (also possibly BSD and others), haven't used it in a while though, so don't really remember how well it worked.
If it was really necessary for you to look around in that house, then you ring the doorbell. If the owner is home, maybe they'll allow inside and give you a tour. If not, you're out of luck.
Hmm....that sounds like the best analogy for portscanning i've heard yet...
Portscanning is ringing the doorbell, possibly with the rude connotation of ringing the doorbell and running away before someone answers, but still only ringing the doorbell.
Any daemons running on the server could be compared to people you hired to answer one of your 64k doors. Most doors have a sign saying closed (ICMP port unreachable,) others are answered by various people with jobs like 'hand out flyers' (web server), 'let people in if they know the password' (ssh/telnet/etc.), or 'let people wander around this room and copy whatever they want from it' (anonymous ftp).
Might not even need the meter... seem to remember that on one car we had, you could get the error codes to flash on one of the indicators on the dash by doing something odd while turning the key.
as the previous poster said, Chiltons or similar would probably be a good place to look.
went digging when i noticed it...it is an easter egg, but if ya run without seconds, its also a bug...the formatting gets messed up, and the hour never updates...my clock currently reads '38:01' backwards...
looks like it is supposed to completely reverse the time if it is running at 0:00:00 jan 1 2000, but gets the formatting wrong if seconds are turned off... does that mean jwz gets credit for first joke of 2000?
xdaliclock currently reads '35:01', printed backwards...date is listed as '01- ', also backwards...if i start another copy, it works fine... gonna have to go hunt down some source and see if that was intentional:)
yeh...gotta love those easy to use windows drivers...just pop in the disk, and get stuck at 1600x1200 'cause the driver doesn't know about 1800x1440...and then spend days tryin to figure out how to get the refresh rate to stay at 60Hz (strange wiring or something = wavy screen at any other refresh)
someone mentions 'Ignorant MS-using sysadmins' and everyone assumes they were the subject... i would read it as referring to the subset of MS-using sysadmins who are ignorant, not as labeling the entire group as ignorant...
yeh, switch to linux! nope...that won't work either...linux doesn't like DHCP on my cable modem...never gets default route...oh well..so much for mindless advocacy....

Isn't this pretty much the same as the 'Comfort (TM) Keyboard system', except maybe a bit less adjustable?

Heh, reading in a whole list is supposed to be easy? try forth...then you only need to read in a word at a time.

Sorry to be pedantic, but Microsoft doesn't write viruses...they write trojans...nasty MBR overwriting trojans at that...
(Got important data stored in my MBR ya know...usually takes me a few tries to remember which partition is supposed to be mounted on / )
heh....you are assuming a properly designed case...
my case == immediate 20+ degree(F) increase in cpu temp...
