Do you think voters of the LP will affect the election by taking away votes from a canidate? If so, which one?

I give about 50 50 on all of them.

It was only a matter of time before someone unleashed malware that exploits the JPEG GDI+ vulnerability. Over the last two weeks various people have released proof of concept code in stages. The first code base that consisted of a corrupted JPG image file that caused an application to crash. The second code based was a JPG image that spawned a local command shell with no remote access. Within hours of the second code base released another person claimed to have made the command shell bind to a port for remote access. Now someone has taken matters to a greater extreme by unleashing a JPEG file that causes a buffer overrun where shell code is run on the affected system. The shell code connects to a remote FTP site and downloads approximately 2MB of data, installs a Trojan service, and also installs a copy of radmin.com, which supposedly allows a remote user to interact with a system as if they were sitting at the local console. The Trojan also downloads several other tools, including fport, netcat, peek, rcrypt, and more. According to Easynews, the JPEG exploit first appeared on several Usenet newsgroups that commonly contain erotic images. A possible way of detecting whether a system is infected is to look for a directory called, c:\windows\system32\system\ which might contain files named nvsvc.exe and winrun.exe. The Trojan might also open port 10002. Easynews also made packet captures available that were taken as the JPEG infected a Windows XP system. This is probably only the beginning of several future exploits that might take advantage of the JPEG GDI+ vulnerability. As always, you are advised to be sure you have the latest virus signature updates on your systems, and to be sure that you've loaded the patch if necessary. You can learn more about the patch and tools that can help you identify systems that need the patch in our Security Matters blog and in our related news story, "New Tools Help with JPEG GDI+ Updates". source = http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1229010/posts

Person X would be the host, Y would release the sperm, and Z would release the egg, after combining in X, an XYZ = host, YYZ = sperm, and YZZ = egg.

Kill a tree so we can have paper tomorrow.

But Microsoft has deeper pockets, so the XBOX could be a Craig supercomputer. lol

Spaceshipone won the 10 million USD prize. From what I gather, they will be doing it every year. So go join a team working on a ship and volunteer for the experimental rider position.

Total Recall quote, "Baby, you make me wish I had 3 hands."

Russians will take you there for quite the fee, but with the Ansari X prize. It might be approaching faster then you think. http://www.xprize.org/

Not sure about networking via bluetooth. Try asking the link I sent ya.

Threesomes are nice.

But isnt space 4th Dimensional? Is there a space time continuum?

So much crap there, it takes 2 Johns to flush.

I said that earlier.... Think of it as a continues loop, or if you are standing in front of door looking in a dark room, with the exact same door behind you. You then throw a ball into the door in front of you, and it hits you in back of the head. Or if lets say you have a piece of paper, and you draw a circle on it representing Earth, you then bend the paper to make the ends touch and create a cylinder. You draw a line from the circle and you end back at the circle. Is that what you mean philbo?

I dont see pixils while playing, I get a great fluid look and feel during play. Recently bought Far Cry, great game that uses up resources like crazy. I run it at 1280 x 764. If I was to boost it to 1600 x 1200 like my regular desktop, It would be choppy, that is why I must upgrade again.

If you entered into it, then it would have matter, then there would no longer be that void, and space just expanded.

It wasnt sarcasm, no pun intended there. I was just saying, hey everyone knows someone, or at least knows someone that knows someone. So, how do you define void.

I run my 19in monitor at 1600x1200@32BPP, not a bad look at all. I play too many games not to have some kind of video quality. Never tested my benchmarks though.

Not doubting you, I know many people in NASCAR, and I have ate supper with Richard Petty a couple of times at his house. What is the meaning of void to you?

I know some headphones sound real good, but I prefer the open sound. I tell ya, looking up all of the new stuff out there, its getting hard not to start buying now. Where did that darn credit card application go (dont believe in those damn things). But that new P4 extreme edition looks nice. 2meg L3 cashe, 800mhz fsb. mmmm.

Connecting GPS, and other sorts of accessories.

I already have a surround sound system for my tv, 300 watt sony system with 2 10' subs getting 50 watts a piece.

I am using a P4 2.4ghz with 533mhz fsb, and 1 gig of corsair pc2700 @ 333mhz ram. Next year I will build a new system, and reuse the sound card and speakers. Adding a sound card will increase your preformance by 20%. Its less work for your processor.
