B&W TV Generation Has Monochrome Dreams 343

Posted by kdawson from the horse-of-a-different-color dept.
Ant writes "The Telegraph reports that people over 55 who were brought up watching a monochrome TV set are more likely to dream in black and white, even years later. New research suggests that the type of television you watched as a child has a profound effect on the color of your dreams. While almost all under-25s dream in color, many over-55s, all of whom were brought up with B&W sets, often still dream in monochrome. The study, out ot Dundee University, used a small number of subjects under 25 or over 55 and the results suggest that '... there could be a critical period in our childhood when watching films has a big impact on the way dreams are formed ... [B]efore the advent of black and white television all the evidence suggests we were dreaming in color.'"

Faulting an AV-less Vista for not stopping viruses is a bit like faulting a door without a lock for opening when the handle is twisted.
That is not right. If I build a house with a front door and a reasonable good lock, there iss e difference to a house in the woods with no lock at all. Software architecture can sure make a difference if it is easy for malware to take unwanted advantage. You don't have to have some AV Software on the system installed, if the OS would only allow signed code from trusted sources to execute.

But then again you have other problems. ;)

My 2cents: M$ could have made Vista more secure out-of-the-box without AV-Software.
