I've had the exact same experience as well. During the past spring semester, three student computers got infected with some trojan that started flooding the network with crap and making it unusable. We were lucky that it was only three comptuers. Fortunately, the university I work at is relatively small. In addition, there's only a small percentage of file-sharers who actually upload more than a reasonable amount. This makes it possible for me to simply call them up or visit them and politely request that they ease up on the uploading. Just about all of them do, especially after explaining to them that uploading large amounts of data on P2P networks makes them a much bigger target for the **AAs. This approach has worked well enough so far. We are still getting a packet shaper later this month anyway.
is the best time. I've been using a Mac at home for almost two years, but I've only recently been able to stop dealing with Windows problems at work (moved from tech support to network admin/cisco stuff). My sanity is no longer in jeopardy.
Does this mean if I post a link to terror.com on my site the Homeland Security folks will bust through my front door and put me on a one way flight to Cuba?
Stargate and Battlestar Galactica are the premier scifi shows on today. I'll admit, the last couple of seasons of Stargate have really been reaching beyond the original storyline, but not in a bad way. I firmly believe Richard Dean Anderson is the primary reason why that show doesn't suck. Battlestar Galactica, on the other hand, is extremely watchable. The realism, subtle plotlines, the intensity of some of the characters (Cmdr Adama)...it just all adds up to a great show.
I agree that Star Trek needs some time off; movies included. If it ever is to return, a new set of writers and directors will have to take the helm and come up with something new/different/better/that doesn't suck.

No Ms. Dewey? Her looks should more than make up for her lack of answers.
Nobody is ever going to figure out the last four of my ssn plus my cat's name plus my birthday. Wait....ummm.....you should probably ignore that.
Just make some sort of hat out of old cell phones that are modified to transmit at full power. Seems pretty safe to me.

Great. Now my Tivo will play even fewer games.
There's a clever and witty response to this article somewhere in my head, but I doubt my ability to post it in a timely manner.
Its called a joke. If you look at my profile, you can see I'm a Mac user and not above making jokes about my favorite platform.
They managed to triple the number of games that their new Mac can play!
Perhaps there are a few employees that are sneaking in Knoppix CDs disguised as AOL disks.
Soon it will become self-aware.

"Jeffrey Lee! Stop writing malicious code and get a life!"
"And take out the trash!"

I couldn't have said it any better!
