I believe that the AV vendors should already be protecting against virii that attack against not-fully-patched Windows systems. That seems to be the primary purpose of AV.

I would argue that breast cancer receives disproportionate "newstime and general attention" compared to other types of cancer such as prostate cancer or skin cancer.

I live in Michigan. My car was assembled in Michigan less than 50 miles away from me. I support my local products such as Better Made chips and Faygo pop, and I support local Michigan stores. As long as we are all tooting our horn here. Sorry about that last part, but I do agree that everybody should be buying more locally made products that don't need to be shipped halfway across the world.

My mom woke me up when the first plane hit. I called her a liar and said that I did not believe her and I was going back to sleep. She came in minutes later to say another plane hit the other tower and something was going on with the pentagon. I told her I still did not believe her, but was willing to get up to have a look at the TV to prove her wrong before I went back to bed. I did not go back to bed. The incident forever touched me and changed my life.

They should give away free XBox points. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/Live/MicrosoftPoints Heck, throw in an XBox too.

If you think your arm is going to fall off from a 5 pound laptop, then you have bigger problems to be concerned about.

"Automating the purchase of tickets so that you're able to purchase them faster than other people is now illegal hacking and will get one charged with wire fraud?"

Meanwhile, on wall street, automating the purchase of stocks and bonds so that you're able to purchase them faster than other people is totally legal.

I tried to get an absentee ballot in Michigan so I could avoid going to the polls. I read the fine print and the restrictions made it so that I would have to perjure myself to do so. I opted not to get an absentee because of that.

I always thought a big flaw in the movie War Games was that the launch code was figured out one character at a time. Now this happens and flips my world upside down.

My family and I pass books by one of our favourite authors (Dean Koontz) along to each other. Between my mom, my aunt, my uncle, some cousins, and myself, we have passed many books between us. Because we can pass the physical copies of the book back and forth, we have the advantage that only one of us needs to purchase a copy of any particular book before we pass it on. Part of the value of the book is the fact that we can pass it on. None of have bothered with ebooks because we can't pass things on to each other in the same way that we have become accustomed to. Once upon a time, I did not want to wait for my mom to pass me a particular book and I purchased the hardcover because I wanted to read that book sooner. My family and I love books.

You can buy a lot of tickets to go watch the games in person with the money you will save by cutting the cable for a year.

"Well everybody knows the password is 12345"

Hey, that's the password on my luggage.

I never understood the popularity of Rock Band, Guitar Hero, or Dance Dance Revolution. To me, they are all just rehashes of Simon. The machine gives you a sequence of buttons to push and then you push the buttons in the same sequence that the machine tells you.

The summary seems to imply that this technology could make it easier to have secret conversations. I propose that the technology makes it harder to have secret conversations as it could be used to "listen in" on conversations from a distance.

The ribbon is horrible for phone support. Before, I could say "click Edit, click Paste", and the user would know exactly what I mean. Now, I have to say "click the icon that looks like...". Not to mention the fact that emailed instructions now need to include all sorts of graphics instead of just plain text. In short, ribbons are a suppiort nightmare.
