"The attack works best on a Linux system with an Intel DQ35 motherboard with 2GB of memory"

So, IF I'm using a specific motherboard and IF I have 2GB of memory and IF I've been dumb enough to give someone root access, I have to buy another 1GB of ram?

Sweet, I've been looking for a good excuse to spend money.

Sleep Mailing 195

Doctors have reported the first case of someone using the internet while asleep, when a sleeping woman sent emails to people asking them over for drinks and caviar. The 44-year-old woman found out what she had done after a would be guest phoned her about it the next day. While asleep the woman turned on her computer, logged on by typing her username and password then composed and sent three emails. Each mail was in a random mix of upper and lower cases, unformatted and written in strange language. One read: "Come tomorrow and sort this hell hole out. Dinner and drinks, 4.pm,. Bring wine and caviar only." Another said simply, "What the......." If I had known that researchers were interested in unformatted, rambling email I would have let them read my inbox. They could start a whole new school of medicine.
