Well, you have to intentionally install it now, so it's mostly gone. Back several versions ago, I made it an unavailable option thru our installer packages. You'd be amazed at how many people bitched that their assistant (clippy and friends) disappeared.
Of course this is great, if you want to do one thing at a time. Some people like to have a word processor, email client, mp3/music player, development environment, web pages, network files and thier favorite game running at the same time.
I like single use devices, but the computer isn't one of them. That's its power. That's why we're here.

You've turned off the icon, not the task. Also, if you delete it from the registry the little bastard puts itself back any time a quicktime is played.
I'm tempted to just remove all the permissions on the run key so nothing can put itself there.

In case you seriously think Kerry will install someone better than Ashcroft, this should be an interesting read. Keep in mind that Kerry authored several sections of the Patriot Act.

If you don't feel like reading, here's some highlights:
This isn't the first time Kerry and Ashcroft have been at odds over civil liberties. In the 1990s, government proposals to restrict encryption inspired a national debate. Then as now, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and electronic privacy groups locked horns with the DOJ and law enforcement agencies. Then as now, Kerry and Ashcroft were on opposite sides.
But there was noteworthy difference in those days. Then it was Sen. John Ashcroft (R-Mo.) who argued alongside the ACLU in favor of the individual's right to encrypt messages and export encryption software. Ashcroft "was kind of the go-to guy for all of us on the Republican side of the Senate," recalls David Sobel, general counsel of the Electronic Privacy Information Center.
And in what now seems like a bizarre parallel universe, it was John Kerry who was on the side of the FBI, the National Security Agency, and the DOJ. Ashcroft's predecessor at the Justice Department, Janet Reno, wanted to force companies to create a "clipper chip" for the government--a chip that could "unlock" the encryption codes individuals use to keep their messages private. When that wouldn't fly in Congress, the DOJ pushed for a "key escrow" system in which a third-party agency would have a "backdoor" key to read encrypted messages.

Responding directly to a column in Wired on encryption that said "trusting the government with your privacy is like having a Peeping Tom install your window blinds," Kerry invoked the Americans killed in 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. "[O]ne would be hard-pressed," he wrote, "to find a single grieving relative of those killed in the bombings of the World Trade Center in New York or the federal building in Oklahoma City who would not have gladly sacrificed a measure of personal privacy if it could have saved a loved one."
Not your main argument, but to reply to "Would be better or worse off if the cutting edge drugs were discovered and approved in university labs solely funded by NIH, and were open to the public for use"
I work for a University, and one of the departments I support is a spinoff whose sole purpose is to commercialize and sell the research done at the U. The University and Researcher own the material, even though both are publicly funded.
My understanding is that you should be changing the REPLY-TO not the FROM. Let FROM be where the message is actually from and there's no blocking problem. With the REPLY-TO set, anyone that presses reply goes to your prefered destination.
I'm sure you're just being an asshole at this stage, but all the replies were in direct reference to this portion of your post:
But the more fundamental problem is your misidentification of the type of answers science is capable of giving and what this implies about religion. It may very well be the case that lightning bolts are being cast by an omnipotent being. Our understanding of the natural causes of lightning suggest nothing either way.
Your instertion of non-existant forces shows that perhaps you don't really understand. The grandparent was trying to help you. You were trying to be flip with your non-reply, so I made it obvious.
Unfortunately in home situations, their biggest problem is intentionally installing software with spyware adware piggybacked on it, not from things sneaking in while they view porn and search for warez.
I guess it's because most of us have never had an IE related infection or problem. These exploits are very narrow and you have to be visting a website run by an asshat, who is intentionally trying to screw you.
Firefox/Mozilla brings nothing to the table that me or my users are interested in. Sorry.
Yea, short of your boss stepping up to the plate and working with your dean/vp to set up a policy that the faculty have to adhere to.
Working at a University myself, I know that there's phat chance of that unless someone broke in and stole research or something public, embarasing and destructive. Even then you may only get a knee-jerk reaction, but no real change.
With some groups and some organizations, you can't do much more than strongly suggest.
Yea, good idea, but it screws people up. The heuristics filtering on the software we use at work does this. Anything with two extensions gets borked. We didn't notice until our UNIX developers started bitching that their messages were being blocked.
Really the servers should be blocking pifs and scrs at all times. Unfortunately after that got common, they started zipping the viruses. The idiot users still got infected after they unzipped and ran the program.
I don't. I think the budget allocation would be spent elsewhere (no GA at all), or the GA would be working for a different professor in the department. Professors are doing their own research, and GAs are there for the heavy lifting.
You might try reading the rest of the article before you go all asshat. This is the comet's first trip thru the inner solar system.
"In 1974 it had a close encounter with Jupiter and was thrown onto a new orbit that brings it closer to the Sun. A comet loses material when it approaches the Sun, as solar radiation causes ice from its surface to "sublimate" into space, carring dust and larger particles with it. The process creates a cloud of material that reflects sunlight and creates the familiar head of a comet (scientists call it a coma) and sometimes a tail."

I've been around here a long time. Most of the posters are drunk on the hateraide. They have no real experience and want to be different.
Perhaps, but that makes the orignal article a Troll.

But they are just as likely caused by the phantom blue dots that are the true puppet masters of the universe.
The instertion of a divine will adds nothing to your understanding of the world.

I'm not sure about zenslug's point, but your addition of an imaginary figure doing imaginary things doesn't change how lightning really forms.

Of course, the slave labor is usually in exchange for tuition waivers or actual money, so don't get too excited about being replaced by a machine.

Sounds a bit like scoop.
