Nothing like a room filled with immense ego.

Yeah but IBM took apart Deep Blue -- so technically, it is dead.

Unfortunately there has been a patch for this problem for the past 6 months. Most unfortunately, there is no patch for human laziness and stupidity.

Deep Junior sucks!!!

Why would it be bullshit? How do you know so much about this worm?

I'm not talking about global major access points. I'm talking about smaller network clusters that companies use. A company should never have their backend servers exposed to the net. It is surprising how apathetic a lot of sysadmins are. Obviously, DNS servers are at a cross-road point...

How does it feel for you Raiders fans to know that Tampa is going to walk all over them?

This generally only works for moving parts -- so if your hard-drive acts up, you can bang the case really hard (usually a bat will give you more leverage). Check your manual that came with your computer. Most BIOS have codes depending on the beeps. For instance, three short beeps might mean...

Or perhaps the sample size is not large enough to accurately predict what the population believes?

You've got to be kidding me.
