vintage computers and lead poisoning?

Actually, given the hackish tendency to use `inappropriate' plural forms (VAXen, cabeese, polygoose), I find its surface Latinity and deep non-Latinity to be reasons to use, not reasons to avoid, "viri" and "virii". But where does "human assistance" end? Presumably "installing $VULNERABLE_SOFTWARE" (say, unpatched IIS) doesn't count, but, say, clicking on a vector email in Outlook does. So what about setting Outlook up to check mail every five minutes (and auto-display the first new mail when there is new mail)? What about turning on javascript support in $WEB_BROWSER? What about setting up a procmail rule to run email to a certain address through an autoresponder program, when the autoresponder in question has a bug that allows carefully crafted messages to execute arbitrary code? What about installing an "upgrade" that reopens an old hole? I guess it just seems to me like a pointless distinction, a difference that makes no difference. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse(a)rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
