The government also raised the security alert level for Windows users from Purple to Pink after Microsoft announced it had foiled a plot to make Windows more secure.
No wonder I didn't get this one, my video settings are set to monochrome!
Call me a luddite but I just don't like the idea of being surrounded by electronic gizmos all transmitting radio waves at me. They may well be safe individually but en-masse they're bathing me in swathes of radiation I'd rather not be bathing in.
It's bad enough having my laptop warming my knees as I commute but having it also transmit radio waves at my nuts mere inches away isn't something I relish.
Fine, you're a luddite. And what's this about putting warm relish on your nuts? Ketchup, fine. But relish? That's disgusting.
Okay.... So, when the ancient Greeks developed mathematics and philosophy, and began to question their own religious beliefs, eventually rejecting the idea of the Olympian Pantheon of gods residing in a great palace on the top of Mount Olympus...they were IN THE WRONG?!
Depends what you mean by 'In the wrong'. I happen to think that they were correct. However, when you are talking about discrediting a fundemental truth for a religion, in this case, the creation of the universe by God, I am mearly stating that it is a good quality in a religeous leader to stay firm in their belief. That's what faith is. Those without it probably wouldn't understand.
If I were a buddhist, I would be a little concerned that my spiritual leader could take a man's opinion and simply say, 'doh! You mean I was wrong all these years. I hate when that happens!' . Right or wrong ( and for the record I think he's right ) Pope John Paul II was unshakeable in his beliefs. A quality that I would think is a prerequisite for a spiritual leader.
The main reason we will never win the email war against the spammers-phishers-scammers-botnets and their assorted ilk is we're bound by legal standards that limit the ways we can combat email abuse...
when a pile of bricks almost falls on the batter. How do you explain *that* one? So, the pitch wasn't close but the pile of bricks that falls in the same spot was? Hay! Hypocrite!
The whole ethical issue aside, when we live in a society that can't make up its mind about the most trivial of details, what would make us think that we can make good decisions about how to manipulate the human genome! Not that we're not intelligent enough. But seriously, society is not nearly mature enough to even be considering these types of issues. Let's figure out what the freaking national language should be first, _then_ maybe try to tackle the tough stuff, hmm?
It's more likely some guy who has already gone through the social aspects of who people would try to pin this on and is now having a field day watching us trying to figure it out. People who write viruses are social misfits who get a sick sort of high from releasing havoc on unsuspecting users. This guy is getting a double shot of joy juice by watching the media chase its tail trying to figure out who would have a motive for something like this.
What you are suggesting is a paradox. If our descendants still need oil in the future. That means that our efforts now were/are/will be unsuccessful. Which means that we will soon see that oil from sewage was/is/will be unsuccessful which means that there was/is/won't be a problem in the first/last place. Damn I hate speaking temporally.
You can get back and forth to work for a week with the energy generated by burning just 2 gallons of owls.
Burning? That's soooo old school. Drop one of those babies into the Flux Capacitor and watch things light up. Hell of a lot more than 1.21 gigawatts I'll bet!
The canine DVD sniffing program would have been launched earlier, but the first few batches of doggy recruits kept getting expelled from the program for playing too much Diablo and Warcraft.
unfortunately, it has been found that it is a special chemical in the tail that provides the resistance.
In other news, Scientist have teamed up with fashion designer Ralph Loren to test market special jeans and skirts with button-fly tail holes in the back.
The NRA is looking to trademark the 'bullet-smiley' ( smiley with a bullet hole in forehead ). The problem is that they are having trouble representing '...not from my cold, dead hand!' as the smiley in question has no hands. The idea hasn't made it out of marketing yet. Developing...
But the way is paved. You can commit very serious crimes that outrank any damage ever done to the *AAs by magnitudes.
I hope you're not suggesting that we need more government and more beurocracy to control this. Yes, users should be more responsible. But when they are not, it is their problem. By setting up control systems, the problem now becomes mine as it will cost my tax money to pay legislators to ponder this. There are already laws on the books to handle cyber crimes. And as new technology evolves, the laws should evolve as well.
Remember, Mr. Government doesn't work for a living, we the taxpayers do. So when they (the politicians) say that they need another month to hash out the details of some new law, they really mean they need to be paid for another month of wasting time.
somehow he manages to believe in aliens halfway across the known universe, and that god created the earth and everything on it in 7 days.
And, so what's your point? I love how kids view their parents like they need to be taught. Try listening to your dad before you publicly mock him. You might have second thoughts.

What about the Platypus. Tell me that wasn't the result of someone spilling coffee on the plans and fudging the blurred bits together!
+1 for interesting punctuation. Reminds me of a Haiku.

ok, stop it. Really! ...
Well, maybe a little.

Hey, that's Mr. idiot to you.
hmmm. No wonder it wasn't working. Note to self: Mr. Fusion.

Would US hackers support the extradition of another hacker being extradited to France for hacking a french military network?
Bad example. French?, military? in the same sentence? I disagree with the entire premise.
