See how long it takes to get rooted/malware. Answer? It NEVER will. Because the router blocks...
i did this with a system i had on dial-up. The installation media was a MS Windows XP disc prior to SP 1. I set up the dial-up connection and went immediately to download updates from windowsupdates.com. After half an hour or so, I noticed it was going really slow (even for dial-up). I was already infected with some worm (slammer IIRC). I just let it go and woke up the next day to install the updates / defenses for the worm and everything else. kinda sucks because even though I was as dilligent as possible about installing MS updates, it wasn't possible to avoid infection.
it's kinda funny b/c i was installing Windows b/c of the problems i was having with Linux.
If Iraq is a classic example of 'how not to do regime change' then Lybia is a classic example of 'how to do it right'.
IIRC, and I bet I do, the timing of Lybia becoming a non-bad-guy coincided precisely with our attack on Iraq. We said Iraq had WMD's and invaded. I believe it was within a few weeks that Lybia gave up their WMD program and tried to become good guys. coincidence?

I feel competent operating such a device, because the professionals are the ones that set it up and assembled it, not me. That's is why I buy brands that I know and trust, and make sure they have the Underwriter's Labs sticker on it somewhere.
yeah, & i feel competent operating my device, because the proressionals (Microsoft & Dell) are the ones that set it up and assembled it, not me. That's why I buy brands that I know and trust...

gotta love this quote:
"During the year ended October 31, 2003, we became aware that our UNIX code and derivative works had been inappropriately included by others in the Linux operating system. We believe the inclusion of our UNIX code and derivative works in Linux has been a contributor to the decline in our UNIX business because users of Linux generally do not pay for the operating system itself, but pay for services and maintenance. The Linux operating system competes directly with our OpenServer and UnixWare products and has taken significant market share from these products."

2.) has "acquired" access to the verboten list

Are they trying to have public opinion sway the court process in their favour?
You missed the OJ Simpson trial, didn't you?
what? are people hardware or something?
you've never had a family member murdered, have you? There are more reasons to kill a murderer than merely to stop him from killing again.

You try remembering 100k digits when you get to his age.
You try remembering 1k digits right now.
