I think Melissa was the first distributed super computing simulation of a virus. At least a simulation of how it spreads: TCP/IP The Cough, Phlem. Infected Pus.
""they're guilty until proven innocent" is exactly the irresponsible behavior they mean."
Oops, but you're talking about a country where it IS Guilty until Proven Innocent, or better yet, bailed out by a powerful and politically connected friend.
If China doesn't want to be regarded as backwards in human rights, then perhaps it should open up its media so the truth gets out to the West?
The good news is that I'll be able to easily identify the machines I've not yet upgraded to Grisoft AVG from McAfee. I'll get a call from the McAfee users asking, "Why isn't my Excel opening?"
A friend in Ottawa told me how his Bell phone service went out one day and they didn't send someone for at least two days to fix it. He finally went out to the demarc to take a look, and a service guy from Rogers new phone service had CUT HIS PHONE LINE. How's that for a little unwarranted competition between the cable and phone providers?
Thanks for trying, I look every few months and never see it. I guess my VHS copy of one episode is all that remains of that entertaining and innovative crime/dramady.
I haven't looked into tablets much. Is there a keyboard feature, so that it displays a keyboard and the person touchtypes like an [Star Trek] Enterprise display panel, where a thinner video panel is on top of the keyboard?
I'd say given the ability of newspapers to publish the Muslim cartoons, and last week a cartoon featuring Jesus sucking on a Capitalist Piglet, freedom of expression is still alive in Canada. We just don't like Holocaust deniers and white supremisists to have a public forum.
"It's pretty embarrassing to see tech-oriented sites act like teenage girls fawning over their latest pop singer pin-ups."
Hey, don't dis the fawning teenage girls. It was those type of people that made the Beatles more popular than Jesus to some people. We could only be so lucky to have thousands of screaming teenage girls promoting Linux use at home.
I'd hope that they make an OS that can work for at least as long as Windows 2000. Microsoft can realease Service Packs that keep a system "current", so I'd certainly hope that Ubuntu can do the same thing.
I'd like to have them show Vengence Unlimited, and Brimstone. It's not often that Fox creates something worth watching, but Brimstone certainly deserved more than the 1 season it was granted in 1998.
How is the best way to obtain those essential parts of the computer software then? I can't exactly tell someone to switch to Ubuntu which I can install, but then say, "oops, sorry, you won't be able to play your DVDs or music files unless you figure it out for yourself!"
Is there a good website with one stop shopping, click it and it's free and also installed?
From Newscientistspace: "It will then begin a two-year science phase, during which it will collect more data than all of the previous Mars missions combined - 34 trillion bytes of data or about as much as contained by a video store."
Video store as a standard unit of measure. Move over Library of Congress!
"good that humans AREN'T driving" What I'd give for Digg's delayed permissible edit time. Those contractions don't seem to come out of the keyboard very easily, and change the meaning of the sentence so significantly. Sorry about that mistake.
Where a mission depends on preprogrammed intelligence to orbit safely, the success was really decided months ago when they sealed it in the launcher. It's good that humans are driving it to the last second, they put their energy into it, and error checked and corrected during production.
"I know alot of this is just feel good legislation, but when will they find these politicians start finding the next big thing that is "harming our children.""
Obviously they need to enact a law called the "No Harm to our Children" law. Anything which harms children will be illegal. Just think of it, cancer, betimes, staying up past your bedtime, and brocolli will al become illegal. It will become a utopian age in TN.
Don't worry, I'm sure the Army will just turn the foe into space aliens, or say the Iraqis being killed are actually Meat Popscicles, or Vulcans.
I'd like to see them enforce this law.
I'd want a home that can live off the grid first and foremost. It should have a clean water supply nearby that doesn't depend on a utility provider. It should have a septic system that can use a "mound" to filter the untreated sewage water back into the ground. It would have appliances that are very energy efficient, and can run off of wind and solar power generators. The insulation would be natural fibres, with fireproofing protecting them. There would be hardwood floors to reduce dust collection in carpets, and reduce static discharges too.
I need an obsrvatory in an unobstructed backyard, or on the "3rd" floor attic, with a power outlet for my red light and telescope motor and laptop. The house would be wired so I don't need to use wireless for anything but my laptop or wifi camera. There's a phone on every floor wired to the wall so they can't go missing or drain of power. The heat from drain water is reclaimed, and the heating and cooling system is a heat pump, shuttered windows, and large deciduous trees in the south yard behind a firebreak. There are CO detectors, especially beside the grain stove and attached garage.
The living room has retractable exercise mats, and a large TV which can display my computer's screen by wireless remote and keyboard/mouse. The radio equipment is also extensive, and is broadcast capable on most bands for an emergency. The kitchen still has a dinner table, and the stove and oven both work on electricity and natural gas depending on which commodity is available for less money. There is a Star Trek-esq intercom system in the kitchen and on each floor, but not in the bathrooms or bedrooms, so that you can announce you want the intercom to connect to X room, and not have to press a start button. To reply, the other person says a keyword and then their reply.
There are no computer terminals in the bedrooms, since a laptop can be used on a desk that is in each room for special occasions. This keeps kids who are too young, from using the Internet without parental supervision. Likewise with TV, there is a portable wireless TV that can be moved around, but the only one is in the living room, or on the laptop which can be used for TV too.
There's a weapons cabinet locked up by biometrics for emergencies, and there are no weapons that can be fired by a child or stranger. The biometric sensor also guages the person's mood before unlocking, so that suicidal moods delay opening until a third party responds. [The whole weapons locker thing is a new idea that needs work to prevent suicides, but also provides protection in emergencies.]
There are two bathrooms, one lit by a light pipe in the daytime. And there is a network jack in the bathroom [for future expansion], but no place to set the laptop, so it doesn't join the user in the tub or on the toilet.
How long until law enforcement uses the Google Calendar to solve crimes? Say the local QuikEMart is knocked off, they just have to Google it:
Knock off QuikEMart at 10PM brings up one hit:

Why is that modded redundant? On Slashdupe, dupes are funny.

Dude, you're on Slashdot. You're looking for what old people call "a bar".
Just teasing.

If consumers don't get what is owed to them, then Sony won't learn their lesson.
Fortunately there are still legal actions in progress in Canada, and some other states.

You wouldn't happen to know how to obtain Vengence Unlimited legally or otherwise?

In Canada speaking out what you think [however horrible] to friends is different from publishing your ideas in various forms.
Thank you, everyone should have that, it should be an easy to select install option when installing Ubuntu.
Why isn't a clickable install script made available on a trusted site though?
