On a serious note, it's a good idea, but...as it says:
"..these insects are incredibly resourceful, and can deposit their eggs in tiny puddles of rainwater pretty much anywhere -- footprints, hoof prints, plant nooks, ditches, wheel ruts can all provide a home for thousands of mosquito larvae." so you're gonna need one per footprint.
Even .NET can't spread itself that widely...

I had an email from our council last year saying local residents were complaining about increased mosquitoes so could we add a teaspoon of cooking oil too all the water buts on the allotments to prevent them laying eggs in them.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I was about to suggest this - mosquito larvae hang from the underside of the water surface and breathe through their backsides, which they poke through the surface of the water - this is why they can survive in stagnant water.
Oil on the surface clogs up their breathing gear and they suffocate.

A true geek. Replaces a $0.05 solution with a $10.00 electronic solution. But it's neat. I like it!
Sort of like the guy working on a gizmo and his wife asks what he's building. He says "A device to let me see through walls."
His wife replies "Isn't that called a window?"

Anybody else seen the announcement that TrueCrypt is no longer under development? Heading to truecrypt.org now redirects to this page[^] with some ominous warnings about unfixed security issues and a recommendation to switch to Bit Locker.
Net prattle is that this might be as result of a hack so people are waiting to see what develops. The developer(s) of TrueCrypt have always been very secretive which is why there is currently such confusion.
In our programming office we encrypt the drives with source code using TrueCrypt so a stolen computer/laptop will not (should not  ) allow someone else access to our code.
Cheers,
Brett

I've always written code too crappy for anyone to want to steal. Worked so far.... :P

Haven't tried that. Thanks for the suggestion.

I've read people saying it's the same thing that happened to Lavabit[^]; they received a National Security Letter forcing them to give up their encryption keys to the government. I don't know what's true, we'll probably unlikely to find out either way. I don't see how a hack would force them to shut down indefinitely, so I'm inclined to go down the NSL route instead.

Thanks - interesting read which however still leaves me confused as to whether this is real or not. Time will tell, I suppose.

Just started it up on one of my machines. It ain't broke.
That machine runs XP, which also appears not to be broke.

Damnit man, when Microsoft says it ain't supported, that means any application that runs on it has security flaws!
I say stop using the silly Microsoft DLLs and use raw ASM.
It worked for Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 (altho they did have to set up video interface via DirectX).
|
|
|
|
|
I followed your advice, deleting all the DLLs in the sysdir and downloading a load of ASM files, and now the machine won't boot.
See?
