It's amazing how just reading an article of the achievements of another country can bring out such rampant jingoism in the slashdot community. What's next? "At least we don't live next to North Korea" arguments?
"This just shows that blocking.zip files doesn't do the trick, and only prevents people from doing their jobs. Who is stupid enough to open pornographic material from an unkown sender anyway? Especially at work? They get what they deserve. IT departments need to figure out that they need to be training people instead of just patching Windows. Wait, that's about all the time they have with the state of the Windows world, budget cuts and outsourcing. Even we Mac users are hobbled by the troubles of the PC world. Why should zips from contacts be stripped from emails, just because Windows is far from secure?"
I'm not sure what you're talking about - I don't know more than two people here (MIT) who use 2 computers. I also know someone here who doesn't own a computer at all, and *everyone* I know here runs Windows.
You must live in Senior Haus or something.
1. The scientists turn on the EGGS (and proceed to step 3).
2. The graphs are erased to avoid conflicting data.
3. Something significant happens (usually bad. If not, repeat Step 1).
3. Everyone runs to the EGGS (to see if they correctly predicted step 3). If YES, go to Step 4. If NO, go to Step 2)
4. The EGGS are hailed as future-predicting-vectors.
There you go. From "On" to "Futurespeak!" in 4 easy steps.

This is great! Now Amazon can finally help me make the right purchases, and monitor me when I make the wrongones!
I'm still trying to figure out how to create spaces between lines of text.
Hmm...
You silly! Of course Al Gore imaged the internet! Every inventor always makes a backup.
