(interesting thought) A resemblance of order arising from the emergent behavior of entities in chaos. If the entities weren't in chaos, they would be able to stay on topic - being constrained as it were. Entities with simple rules can display emergent behavior that appears complex, from the flocking of birds (boids) and schooling of fish, to butterfly migrations, to the lifecycles and behaviors of computer worms and viruses (which can carry spyware with them). This is probably why mathematical definitions of malware have taken a back seat to behavioral definitions. The fact that some AV or AM application doesn't see some malware shouldn't really surprise anyone.

Most people complain about the rules to others while they don't follow the rules themselves. I'm at the stage in my life now where I'm pretty comfy with who I am, and I've earned the right to do as I please, which doesn't really include doing anything harmful. As far as I can tell, posting something that someone might take offense to because it could be considered *off-topic* means nothing in the grand scheme of life, or even ngs. Next week the topic and complaints will move on to the flavor of the day. > Did you know, while alt groups are sometimes free-for-all's, in a non- > Alt group, there are charters that dictate the prescribed behavior, and > that some ISP as well as Usenet providers will terminate your account > for constantly violating the rules. I don't think I'm worried since you've pretty much been participating in this off topic discussion, and I don't believe you're going anywhere anytime soon. > In the early days a group started as an alt group and after months or > years of being controlled by rules it could request to be moved out of > the alt structure.... ok .. so? > While you may believe that your desires actually mean something, acting > against the rules show your contempt for the rest of us and the > structure put in place, which seems to make you and BD a match. hahaha oh come on ... by your own participation in this conversation you're as guilty as you say I am .... -- Jenn (from Oklahoma)

There is a simple beauty to math .. it even has it's own ebb and flow... more or less a parallel kindred existance. > The fact that some AV or AM application doesn't see some malware shouldn't > really surprise anyone. ... nice ebb and flow there taking the conversation back to being on topic. <wink> -- Jenn (from Oklahoma)

"Rules are for the obeyance of fools and the guidance of wise men" The saying has been attributed to Sir Douglas Bader ^ Brickhill 1954, p. 44. Note: (also quoted as "...for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men.") In Reach for the Sky, this quote is attributed to Harry Day, the Royal Flying Corps First World War fighter ace. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Bader#cite_ref-62 There's a reference here in this thread (the last post, no pun intended) which provides a good example of why pilots are taught to think for themselves rather than blindly stick to rules. http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=27708 HTH In the UK a red light at traffic lights means 'stop'. In parts of the USA I believe a red light allows one to "turn right on a red" - have *you* ever done that, Leythos? I found it felt good to do that! :) -- Dave - Restraining myself from saying more! |
