Any one for a fork and some popcorn?

Could those of you from Utah send the 'search yield' article to Orrin Hatch?

I'm just a girl, and science makes my head hurt. Explain it in short words, and while you're at it, buy me something. ;)

Well a multimillion dollar lawsuit ought to wake Sony up to the fact that it is against the law to infect peoples PC with a virulent ans malicious virus / spyware program!

This is why so many people could care less about downloading music for free off the internet.

The music companies have been historically know as thieves and criminals themselves.

This latest episode shows the leopard has not changed his spots.

This may be the effect of people rising to their level of incompetence in technical professions. I've seen it over and over again in IT departments and software companies, have thrown up my hands more times than I can remember, and have seen talented people walk out the door over these things. Loudmouth, brownnosing idiots often with idiot certificates (i.e. MBA degrees) are put in positions to make decisions about things they know nothing about. As the technology gets more complex, fewer and fewer people understand it, and virtually none outside of the corporate technology departments. Heads will roll at Sony before this is over, or so we can hope...

I wonder when Congress will be able to pass some legislation. For starters, I'd suggest:

• Nothing in the Digital Millenium Copyright Act shall be construed so as to prevent the removal of software from a computer by the owner or person reasonably believed to be acting on the owner's behalf, if such person reasonably believes the owner does not want the software on the computer, nor shall it be construed as restricting the production, possession, manufacture, or sale of software for such purpose.
• Nothing in section (1) above shall be construed to allow the removal, installation, or alteration of software or data on a computer without the consent of the owner thereof, nor to allow the production, possession, manufacture, or sale of software for such purpose if such software would otherwise be restricted or prohibited.

That seem short and to the point?

How do you know you are infected ?

Rename any file on your computer with $sys$ at the beginning.
If it disappears, you've got the root kit.

"New Text Document.txt" would look like $sys$New Text Document.txt

Thank God I get all my music from P to P.
