Verne isn't credited with the concept of the submarine, he's credited with the concept of the *nuclear* submarine.
Indeed, his fictional vessel was named after an early submarine (by Robert Fulton) called "Nautilus." In return, the first nuclear submarine was named "Nautilus" after his fictional one.
As has been pointed out above, Macs (and pretty much any computer ever) have always been vulnerable to Trojans. It's viruses that they've generally avoided. The benefit, for the time being at least, is that there aren't many of either targeted for the Mac.
On the one hand, yeah, there may be an explosion down the road. On the other hand, you can generally just not worry about it right now. Also, you get to be a bit smug at your neighbors. (Guess which option I chose?)
I love to see pro-Pit articles, but their owners should be aware that they have an instinctive "fight something a bit smaller than you" thing going on.
That's not an slam against the breed, mind you. My own dog (not, as far as I can tell, at all a Pit) has the same problem. Bigger things are to be respected, tiny things are to be nurtured, but medium things are to be bitten.
It's a dog thing, and the revolving door of 'problem' breeds (Dobermans, Shepherds, Rots, Pits, etc.) should illustrate that. The little guys tend to be the most vicious, but they're saved by their ineffectiveness.
The real story here is that they passed over "Serenity" which was a pre-approved option that won in that group by a landslide, in favor of "Tranquility." But unlike Colbert, the Browncoats didn't get dick.

That is certainly the truth, in my experience, although many of those people will make an exception for a specific dog, and still damn the breed.

Fuck you too, NASA.
@A Noun, Lacrosse was a plains Indian sport originally. Virginia didn't enter into it, and still doesn't :P
Unbreakable trivia, please?
That would explain the kitteh's thousand-yard-stare.
For a conversion, see e.g. the Hagia Sophia.
Shame she was such a rights-nazi with Corel, b/c that's how I found out who the frak she was.
