The W32.Elkern virus has a few dead giveaways. It usurps the MZ Header in the Windows PE Format (used by executables) to insert an entry point to its own code. Normally, the MZ header contains a stub program called WINSTUB.EXE that prints "This program can not be used in DOS mode." and exits. The virus programmers bungled that message, so it says "This program must be run under Win32". The presence of that message is a dead giveaway of virus infection. That message, as well as the SMTP commands the virus uses to propagate itself, can be seen with the POSIX strings command.

| The Goth subculture is perhaps the least understood of any pop subculture. Their origins are in dispute, but it's generally accepted that the movement is born of the post-punk movement among aficionados of bands like Bauhaus and Joy Division. They are often on the receiving end of ridicule and scorn. The situation isn't helped by the fact that, even when lent an understanding eye, Goths manage to make a mockery of themselves.

| In 1996 physicist
Alan Sokal
wrote an
article
for the prestigious
post-structuralist
literary journal
"Social Text"
in which he claimed that all of
physics is
relative to the observer
. It was a
hoax --
intended
by Sokal to
highlight the
liberal intelligentsia's
drift away from
social issues and
toward
navel-gazing.
There was
just
a
little
acrimony. to Philosophy by n |

| The
Falklands War, fought between the UK and Argentina in
1982,
is interesting for many reasons. It lead to the end of a
brutal regime
in Argentina,
got Margaret Thatcher
reelected, was
some of the most intense naval action since
World War II,
and led to the profound realization that
missiles are
very very cheap, and
ships and
men aren't.

The legal spat between the band and Jello have caused fans to create boycott shows opposite Dead Kennedys concerts or, in one case, put Jello back on stage with the band.
