I suspect that many of the earlier posters who claimed that their systems are OK, are still in for a surprise. Chatting to people in a large company it seems that this crap is still being rolled out. Some people got it the day before yesterday, some yesterday, some today and IT complained that email is slow this morning. So I guess MS got millions of angry phone calls already and they are in for many more.
The alarmist headline grabbing fear mongering publicity stunts are just to make money. On a credibility scale they are right up there with Rent A Mob and Rent A Crowd.
All password checks on my machines take 10 seconds minimum. A strategic 'sleep(10)' does the trick. There is no need to calculate MD5 hashes repeatedly to waste an attacker's time. A nice sleep() allows the server to go do something more useful.
Seriously, it looks like I should boot Linux on the GPU and use the CPU for general I/O. Then my PeeCee will be 25 times faster. See the cool ASCII graphics...
The Samba project will likely buy a copy. Everyone else will simply use Samba then as before. I don't think MS will recover their fine from selling that specification.
"Freak out and delete it immmediately."
Nope - in my experience, OSX users have no idea what their root (or for that matter any) password is. They logged in some time a few years ago, and never rebooted or logged out again, so they just don't know - got it on a piece of paper in a drawer somewhere...
If one can make a strong enough tether, then the obvious solution would be to leave the big heavy motors on the ground and run the tether around space based pulley, but I guess that is too simple to get funding. KISS just doesn't cut it to secure government money...
Solar wind comes from the sun, so why should the particles be any different than the measurements taken from the sun? It is nice to confirm that solar wind really comes from the sun, but hasn't that been confirmed a long time ago by simply looking at the direction of the flow?
The fact is that the scalpers legally bought the tickets, so why may they not resell them? The only issue should be if they don't declare the income for tax purposes.
"religion led to ethics, which led to less killing of their neighbors."
Wow, that is just so terribly uninformed. You should seriously visit your local library and read some history. Religion has poor ethics and is the chief cause of war.
Maybe you should start with Aristotle's Nicomachian Ethics, followed by Voltaire's Phylosophical Dictionary.

"mininimum": Ancient Koi for "at least". See also "Gnu".
Evidently they interviewed a large group of IT professionals working at McDonalds, Burger King and Taco Bell.
Ya want friez wiz dat?
The universe is now proven to be holier than thou.
Did they buy a license from SCO?

US made spam blasting software and MS Windows Vista is also used world-wide to oppress people.
Four thousand shades of brown would make it perfect for an Ubuntu theme!
Ubuntu - the beige minivan of Linux - not quite good enough for anything...

Well, the old cave dwellers were not separated by the internet. They were separated by the mountain in between them.
SOCAN should apply for a surcharge on air, since it can be used to sing a tune of one of their composers.
Worse, don't get stuck in that lift with a lady of leasure...

Well, that was just a sign fault. If the programmer had taken the absolute value of the data it may have worked.
"waiting for Vista with baited breath" Ugh, if you live at the coast and know the smell fish bait, then this is probably a very fitting allusion.
Linux and Mac systems are better than XP and a lot better than Vista. They don't need any more advancement. All they need are users.
The big question is when will Vista be ready for desktop use?

Too late already. I was married to an abnormal lawyer.
You can see these waves clearly in deserts and then a few minutes later you wish you hadn't.
