Virii + GEV RVs

Virii: 1) I agree with those who say Windoze (pretty much any flavour) is the
key reason most virii can do a lot of damage. MS' ubiquity makes their
products a target and their focus on seamless interactivity (especially
without your knowledge) and on function over security has lead us down a nasty
road. 2) I can speak fondly of Pegasus as I have used it for quite some time
now. It is powerful, has a fair number of features, and is reasonably virus
proof (though I'm sure with plug-ins, that isn't
as true but I don't use any plugins but PGP). 3) Don't believe MIME types.
When you see a file comes in and is reported to be a gif or jpeg, make sure
you see the file name and see *.gif or *.jpeg then the OS will invoke the
corresponding application which is correct for that filetype. I've seen virii
sent around with a messed up MIME type that made them look like GIFs or JPEGs,
but they really were.exe files. Nasty if you aren't on your game. 4) Why
should email ever be anything but text? (or why should it automatically
trigger other interactions with the OS?) 5) I'm now using Opera 6 and I hear
tell Mozilla 1.0 is finally out. Both offer reasonably safe browsing and a lot
more control over your own system (knowing what is going on). Mind you, some
sights (air canada for instance) will give you grief in Opera. But for some of
these sites, I find (of all things) Lynx will work. Of course, some only work
for IE, but those sights should be damned for the pussbuckets they represent!
(Me and Adrian have tried to make stargrunt.ca workable with most browsers...
Opera has a problem which we've fixed but only on the main page yet... but
most browsers can navigate with minimal issues....).

GEV RVs: What does a force that is a GEV fast reaction force use for
reconnaisance? You'd think a hover vehicle would be too darn noisy. Thoughts
from people out there? I want something that can (from a ground crossing PoV)
keep up with the rest of the GEV force. Grav is one option, but bound to be
expensive. Could one make a stealthy GEV or is this oxymoronic?

I'm setting up a DS2 game and this is something I wondered about.
