#21 is technically incorrect. While they are rare, there are virii
that rely on means other than outright execution, such as a proof-of-concept
virus that exploited a buffer overflow in MS Outlook. You just check your
email and you've already executed the virus.

It's also worth noting that Word documents and other MS OFfice files can be
executables, due to Word's rather powerful macro language.

I was highly annoyed yesterday to find out that U.S. Air's list of items
that are permitted and forbidden as carry-on luggage is only available
in Word format.

Yeah, I have AbiWord and OpenOffice. It just adds another step, and
there's no good reason they couldn't post that in HTML format.
I've figured out that I'm no longer going to be able to bring both my
camera bag and my laptop as carry-on luggage, because the backpack I use
for my laptop is too big to count as a "personal item". I'll have to
see if I can find a smaller laptop case.

I carry my laptop in a pretty big backpack, and I've never had anybody
question its status as my "personal item." As long as you aren't trying to
carry on anything besides the camera bag, I wouldn't worry about it.
For the most part, the carry on lists are pretty straight forward. Two bags,
the smaller of which should contain a computer and the larger of which should
be no bigger than a medium sized roller bag, containing nothing sharp or
capable of launching projectiles.

Before 9/11, I had figured out that for airline travel, it worked best
for me to have 3 things: the laptop, with case, small backpack, with
"day" stuff, and a small satchel thing, with clothing and other stuff to
leave at the hotel. It was all small, compact, I could carry it easily,
& everything. Only problem is it's 3 carryon items not 2, so post 9/11
this no longer works. It's a shame, because I think my 3 carryon items
together have less mass and bulk than some people's single carryon
luggage item.
Great, so now I have to avoid rubberbands or any other elastic material?

re #33: (does the laptop case actually count as a carry-on? I've
always understood it to be an exemption, like a woman's purse.)

Apparently *they* didn't think so, and made me give up one item. The
clothes lost out. They also arrived the day after I got home, so I'm
back to the evils of having to worry about checked luggage again, at
least until I can buy less convenient luggage that's only 2 pieces not
3. Or I can figure out ways to get places that doesn't support a
government run secret "no fly" list. I think that's one of the least
defensible and most asinine post 9/11 policies.

The policy is generally phrased as "one carry-on bag and one personal item,
such as a backpack, purse, or laptop computer."
My laptop case is a backpack with a bunch of extra room, and I have a roller
bag that's at the carry-on size limit. I avoid checking stuff if possible,
since I've gotten tired of hanging around baggage claims waiting for luggage
to be delivered. I also try to limit myself to what I can easily walk from
home to the BART station with, so I don't have to deal with airport parking.

The problem is that U.S. Air states that the allowed size for a personal
item is "36 inches total dimensions". When I measure my backpack and
total up the measurements, it comes out to something like 39 inches. I
would hate to be forced to check it, since with them now opening up all
the luggage for inspection I figure it'd almost certainly be busted or
stolen. My camera bag is already going to be my "carry on luggage"
item, since it (by design) fits into the dimensions for underseat or
overhead bin stowage without much to spare.

Re #25, Would you classify a bug exploit as a virus? I think thats
called a worm/trojan. No? But yeah .... definitions apart ... I guess
anything that damages data can be called a virus.

Lots of things destroy data that aren't a virus. But if you ignore the
definition, I can see the confusion. I think I would define a computer
virus as unwanted software that automatically replicates itself without
conscious user intervention. A computer virus doesn't have to destroy
data in order to do this, and there are certainly innoculous viruses
that don't destroy data. There are also malicious attacks that destroy
data that do not qualify as a virus, as well as many non-malicious ways
to lose data.

I have gotten dozens of those, not all at once, but one by one over
several years, gradually in more plausible sounding versions.
The latest ones have spammy gibberish, designed to get past filters.
So I strongly suspect that they are being sent out by a spammer for spammy
reasons. For example, as part of a dictionary attack. If an address is
valid, presumably the querying server is expected to come through with an
actual piece of email. If the spammer doesn't have anything else handy,
something like this will do.

I have a .procmailrc file in my home directory, which keeps a log of the
e-mails that I get....occasionally i'll go through and try to find key words
like "penis" "viagra" "mortgage" to add to my .procmailrc file so the mail
is sent to /dev/null. anyways...I was just looking at all the subject headers
and they all seem to have the wording "ISO-8859" followed by a random pattern
of alphanumeric characters. Then I went back to check the received line and
all of them seem to come from different domains..
so whats the deal with "ISO-8859"?
