Zen koan-like FAQ

I've started using a program called Net Transport to download RTSP streams (see more on that at BushOut.TV). The program is a little quirky, but very well done (as far as I can tell). To figure out some of those quirks, I turned to the documentation.

I love this zen koan-like question and answer in the FAQ:

Q. What's the meaning of "socket error"?

A. Ignore. This is the case that return code of socket functions is -1. Knowing socket API, you will understand.

So true, so true.

New virus going around

There must be a new virus going around. All day I've been getting a ton of bounces and virus advisories sent to my email. And now, actual viruses from people who send me mail.
