Pictures of me and my girlfriend having sex at the end of a Bunjee
Rope 100 meters off a bridge in Scotland

Credit where credit's due, if I were stupid enough to open a .zip
from Usenet, I'd open a picture of sex at the end of a Bunjee Rope
long before I'd open a picture of a dead Osama bin Laden. ;-)

With MacIntosh and/or Linux, you don't have to worry about it.
If click an attachment, the operating system asks you what
you want do with it. On Winblows, if the attachment is an executable
program, they run just run it.

Your ignorance is showing through. Religous arguments about platforms
aside, it's the software you use to handle mail or usenet, and the
options it provides that determines whether or not the program is run.
Most email programs, including outlook depressed can be taught not to
open automatically.


How did the worst product get a monopoly anyway?
Is that the magic of the marketplace?
Reminds me politics somehow too.....

Again, sidestepping the argument about which platform is best, the best
marketed program wins, as long as it's good enough to perform most of
the required tasks. Quality doesn't matter, it's marketing that
counts. This from a developer who found this the hardest lesson he
learned in business.
