keep everything on your desktop, when its all too much, make a new dir (folder) and call it "crap", move everything into it. When your desktop is full again, make a folder called stuff, and put everything on your desktop in it (including the dir called "crap". Once your desktop if full again, make a dir (folder) and call it "crap", put everything on your desktop in it (including the "stuff" dir (folder))... you get the idea.
For e-mail, well, that's not a problem, it has infinite surface area...
Yes, I do that often after fiddling with things. Be sure to use the back of your hand, if it is live the muscles in your arm will contract and pull your hand away from the electrified object. Don't use your finger tips, I did and I got caught in the current. Pulled me in and shook me while it held me tight.
There are many dangers, they could be in a toaster or a common thing.
SMTP is not the problem.

Replacing SMTP?

SMTP is not the problem. Open Mail Relays are the problem. As long as you can drop an SMTP box on the net and have it spew Spam to other mail servers you will have Spam. Any new Mail Transport Protocol will have to be backwards compatible. i.e., receive mail from old SMTP servers. You can't switch all machines over at one time, you need to roll out one box at a time and keep it all working all the time.
In the country where I live there is a general rule for farm animals, the farmer is not responsible for fencing them in, it is your job to fence them out. Mail is the same, its not my job to stop spam being sent, but to stop it being delivered (to my users) There are many ways to do this, a combination of a few can be very effective.
As for the home user, well stop buying into the "submit your e-mail and we will send you porn" forms on the sites you wife does not want you to look at.:-)

BINGO!
People want a computer to do things, they buy a PC for what they can do with it, not (like us) because of what it is.

Shit guys, if you can't work this one out on your own you should not be sysadmins. What's the next "ask Slashdot" "My manager has given me all these tapes to copy stuff from the sever to every night. What is the best rotation strategy?
the x-box/Linux thing is not, and has not and never will be about a cheap PC, it about getting Linux to run on something its not supposed to.
as for a $PC $x-box they are different beasts, one has a Mobo that does USB/RS232/Parallel/eth/etc... the other is a 3D accelerator card with a cpu onboard...

Shoot them from the left to right in columns rather than rows. They have to move farther and farther across the screen and advance downwards slower.
I have friends that only play simple puzzle/breakout style games, flash ones generally.
They are perfect time killers, no in-depth tactics or plot to worry about. Beating a high score is about as deep as they get, and then you can just walkway from them when your bus arrives.
Its one thing to stream digital data and have it picked up by a device and spat out via a DAC.
Its another thing altogether to have to co-ordinate lossless data transmission. You are going to need a protocol that handles retransmission CRCs etc... i.e. some sort of transmission control protocol maybe?
People have been getting all sorts of stuff. Digital stuff over SW for a long time now, bouncing packets of meteor trails containing e-mail and shit.
Break out the food processor and some baking material; your home recognizes RFID tags in the bag of flour and offers to help. "How about focaccia?"
Oh for gods sake... I see that in Bills vision of the future we are all incompetent invalids. Come on... I like living my life, I like, you know... doing things the old way. It gives me pleasure to the little things. I know it all comes down to choice, do what make you happy. But I still see Bills vision of the future as somewhat, soulless.

Glad not the live in the US. How the fcuk do they expect to police and enforce that in Asia and the rest of the world.
I am all in favor of fining software makers, that may get them to at least beta test there work before its shipped.
I wonder if these guys will?
FFS, My machines spend more time down and being patched than they do up and doing their job.
Its like they only exist to be patched.

Look at the vulnerable Version of windows. It is every one of the NT > 4.0 family.
The exploit was coded into every thing even after it was found. This bug has been around since 1993.

I expect a politician to know as much about source code as a computer programmer should know about corporate accounting practices and regulations.

Considering the primary function of computers in business, I would suggest you find a better comparison.
Interesting stuff... anyway... it is "Vandegraaff"

It was the work of Robert Jemison Van de Graaff.
There you go... and you can thank Faraday for your machines ability to resist shock damage. Or did you use a protection from elements spell...
I am at a loss for words. Why? Sure, I can see the "fun" in it. But, its like towing your car with a horse.

You must be fucking kidding me...
Let me re-word that...
