Yup!

I remember the first time I posted here...I got a really fast response, from SPEEDO, no less.....wish he were back.

I learn a lot as well from all of the posts, and as an apprentice on the security team, I've learned quite a bit in that area as well.

I've learned so much from everybody here, and I know the things I've learned will carry over into my adult life and surely help me in whatever tech field I end up in.

It sure is. I've no idea how much this kind of service would cost if I was paying for it, but I'm sure it wouldn't be cheap.

no, it wasnt bill gates.

i read it on slashdot, there is a guy that estimated in 1999 that spyware/adware/viruses will bring the internet to an unusable state in 2006.

now he still says 2006 will be accurate.

i can go find the article. even if it isn't true, it's worth thinking about.

edit: ok, i was wrong, in 2001 he gave it 5 years.

3 years later he still says 2006.

here is the article: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20041018-4318.html
