"if you have a timing-sensitive real time process running on a PC, it may not be wise to put the Symantec Antivirus pig on that particular box..

You're talking utter rubbish, if you don't mind me saying so. Who in their right mind would put a 'real time process' on a PC, it belongs on embedded hardware, as you would know, if you had the slightest clue what you were talking about...

"The UK's major banks and hundreds of City trading firms will begin testing the London Stock Exchange's new core trading platform early next month, ahead of its planned launch in the summer of 2007..

Lets find three neighboring countries that have a history of inter-ethnic and religious violence, sell them nuclear technology and then see what happens.
So let me see if I get this right. There's some vast conspiracy amongst the randomly selected slashdot modders..
StrawMan deleted..
If so, my only question is
You responding to your own StrawMan don't count..:)
"who would choose these enlightened souls and / or who would they be?"
The owners of slashdot, that's who. Wikipedia deemed to necessary to appoint such a set of moderators to restrict abuse and disruption there. I do believe slashdot would benfit the same.
Was it really necessary to mod yourself up Score:5, Insightful..:)
"When I hit some Slashdot pages, it can literally take 5-8 or so seconds (count it out - that's slow for a page that's largely text) to show the content"
Slashdot, isn't the only culprit. As someone else here said, it's down to very badly designed sites. For instance why does the whole page need to reload just to view a 4x3 rectangular text box.. cause it's waiting.. waiting.. waiting for doubleclick.net and the script to do stuff in the background. By which time I've lost interest and moved on. I recall someone invented a method of producing static html pages from dynamic content, why are more people not using it?
"Slashdot's moderating system is total bullshit and the admins are retards for still keeping it around. Nearly every downmodding that occurs on Slashdot is 100% invalid"
I totally agree, it's only use seems to be for some people to mod down posts that are critical of some received wisdom and mod up self serving corporate propaganda. Anthing marked score:5 is invariably of the latter kind. TacoMan might as well get rid of it. Or only allow a restricted set of moderators to use it.
"the best bet for IT may be.. one that could give IT professionals a single voice for speaking out on issues that affects everyone -- such as H-1B visa limits or tax incentives to keep IT jobs onshore"
Sounds good except the Union will most probably end up being run for the sole benefit of the executive officers and keeping the staff compliant on behalf of management, just like they do here.
"So if researchers can detect these things with apparent reliability in their process, why can't ISPs detect them the same way and cut the bastards off?"
If they did, they risk cutting off their own spamVertisers, there's no money in protecting their own customers, it would break stuff, they can't be bothered...

Why would they need to steal the CEO's password, when there is any number of ways to get access. Especially as letting the CEO have admin access is highly dangerous as he keeps his excel documents in the C:\Recycler folder to save space.:)

Did they put "This didn't really happen" on the screen during the scene .. and
Is anything in the SouthPark CoS parody inaccurate ?
That wagging dogs head is annoying .. I am never going to buy anything from that company - ever !!!
Let me see if I got this right Kane Kramer invented the digital-to-analog converter (DAC) in 1979 ..

Bacause the ISPs choke back bandwith to the domestic consumers during business hours and inject fake reset packets to disrupt peer-to-peer systems.

"What would happen if all of these dabbling idiots were on linux instead of windows"
.. ?
The dabbling idiots shouldn't be allowed to use Linux until they learned to compile the kernel and what about all the dabbling Mac idiots
What does the license say if you compile from source ..

correct headline ..
Why the need to raid a trade show, couldn't they have just bought the gear directly from the companies. This is nothing more than extortion ...
Well yea, if you don't test for it you won't find any :)

"the boss asked me to set up her e-mail account to forward a copy of all her e-mail to him"
The CEO actually talks it the IT staff, now that is unbelievable
