Slashdot Mirror
Slashback: Disclosure, Maricopa, Telecoms
Quick work by smart people. ciaweb writes "The OpenSSH group has revised its security advisory about the recent OpenSSH vulnerabilities. In it, they describe their decision-making process for releasing the bug information. It is interesting to contrast their procedure, which appears designed to maximize user protection, against Microsoft's, which appears to maximize Microsoft's protection."
Pardon me, sir, would you mind if I SLAMMED THIS HAMMER ON YOUR FINGERS?! D0wnsp0ut writes "I thumbed through my mail today and found what appeared to be a renewal notice for my domain. This one came from "Domain Registry of America." Verisign attempted something similar back in March and Bulkregister.com fought back and won an injunction, against the mailings. So watch out if your domain is getting close to expiring. I talked to my registrar (Register.com) and they're aware of it.
I'll scan the letter but have no place to post the pictures. Can anyone lend some bandwidth?"
Half the world has never eaten a Krispy Kreme donut, either. cshirky writes "I've just written an essay on the phrase ' Half the world has never made a phone call'. It's more 'voice telephony-y' than the usual telecom stories here, but after seeing the interest in media and the market that surfaced during my /. interview, I thought it might be of some interest."
Please stop sending my money to Redmond, OK? TrumpetPower! writes "All that brouhaha over Maricopa County's policy prohibiting companies or persons convicted of antitrust violations has had an effect. I just received the following note announcing a public forum scheduled for this coming Monday.
You recently inquired about the County's use of Microsoft products and the manner in which we license their software. We appreciate your interest in the County's technology plans. To provide a forum in which to discuss our technology direction and address any questions you may have, we will have Information Technology staff members available to meet with citizens at 8:30 am on Monday July 8th. The meeting location will be the County Administration Building at 301 W. Jefferson in Suite 420. Please RSVP your attendance so we can ensure that adequate facilities are available for the meeting.Thank you for your inquiry,

Ah, but what about the first annoying family photographer? 7h3_B055 writes: "Contrary to this article on Slashdot claiming the first photograph was created in 1826, much evidence is pointing to the fact that the Shroud of Turin may have been an earlier example (substantially earlier) of photography using ingredients as basic as egg-white for treating cloth (the photopaper) and urine for developing it. The camera itself could have been a simple box with a hole in it and the exposure time would have been lengthy."
Of course, there are a lot of theories about the Shroud of Turin, and a google search is likely to intrigue you for days.
No? Why thank you! That's 2 in a row so far! You are gay.

Suck on dick!

I've gotten both the Verisign and the DRA letter, and after reading both in light of the Veresign suit, the DRA letter is VERY clear that submitting the form back to them will switch your registry to them; this is printed on the front of the letter in the same type as the rest of the page. In the Verisign case, the transfer statement was printed on the back of the letter in fine print (with no indication there was something on the back). While somewhat tacky, I don't think DRA is in the wrong here, compared to Verisign.

Project Faustus My programming had attuned itself to their foul presence too late Now I was a prisoner of the very thing I had sworn to destroy I had envisioned breaking through the Projects network by a combination of CONSCIOUSNESSTRANSFER and my deceitful imitation of human protocolit seems that this vision would not merge with reality Cora was never out of my immediate memory She had disappeared apparently leaving me without a care I attempted to calculate her intentions but my functions kept returning conflicting informationI could draw no conclusion I observed my captors searching for clues of their intentions The vehicle slowed as the shadow of a massive building stretched over us Manipulating my head towards the cars window I could perceive the dimensions of a large threedimensional rectangle the standard shape for large human dwellings Yet something about this particular edifice seemed quite particulareven familiar What have we got here said a voice outside the car Security clearance 4 were taking him downstairs replied the driver The vehicle snaked downward A command surfaced from deep within my digital recesses CLOSE YOUR EYES I disabled my visual input mechanisms as the vehicle snaked downward My spatial perceptions reported the slow angled descent of a corkscrew Somehow I knew each slight turn and brake of this pathbut how The memory would play across my CONSCIOUSNESSBUFFER but it was missing proper referencesperhaps isolated from the rest of my being The host geeks brain churned as I utilized his synapses Were these familiarities a part of my past Had they strayed from the host geeks memories Perhaps they were other memoriesabsorbed from someone elseThe vehicle stopped The host geeks skin contracted in response to the temperaturemuch colder than the San Antonio summer happening far above The cold merged with the taste of stale air and the panaromic grey of the parking garage The blueclad men nudged me into an elevator without a sound They pushed me into a white room without windows and shut the door saying nothing I sat on the chair in the middle of the room for some time I cycled idly attempting to probe through my consciousness and determine where the memories of this place had come from Suddenly the door opened To my horror Dr Salchica entered flanked by two silent men in suits At that moment I wished to touch Dr Salchicabut not in the way I had been touched by Cora No I wished to push or press himsomething The men must have noticed my feeling as they fastened their arms around me spinning the chair even closer to Salchica They finally caught up to you did they said Dr Salchica I guess the threat is over You are a member of Project Faustus My host geeks knowledge of you was incomplete The two men fastened their arms to me moreI struggled Im not really a member of the Project But you told me about themand I knew that they were the only way to stop you I called one of my old Army buddies he called somebodyand I was put in touch with them Project Faustus is dedicated to enslaving humanity I replied Despite being a very sophisticated artificial beingyoure still very wrong said Salchica Since I turned you in I have been given access to their archives Wonderful wonderful knowledge From a purely academic standpoint this stuff is fascinating Youll get sick of it soon enough a voice I knew It reverberated through the empty roomanother isolated memory Confusion taxed my processes Hello said the voice and I saw the man who spoke it His face was etched with lines that reached almost to the top of his bald head a perfect oval The only hair I could detect was two right angles of whiteness intersecting on his nasallabial trough His dress was less formal than the othersa multicolored buttondown shirt blue jeans and a belt with a large shiny oval in the middle Names Bubba Finn I reckon I worked on most of the code that makes you up The heavy inflections of his voice suggested a regional accentafter a moment I realized the man was speaking to me His shoulders and his mouth both took parabolic shapes like inverted Us Grey eyes stared at particulate matter on the floor as he began to speak again We gotta put ya back in the computer see what youve been upta and such Finn indicated a piece of the wall which whirred as it revealed a computer terminal I felt the solidifying feeling of my digital consciousness being dragged together from its weblike perch in my host geeks brain Bubba you will let me examine him along with you Nolverto Salchicas tone was jovial and cajoling I didnt get much of a chance to do tests on him before and Nope Gunna work on im alone mumbledrawled Finn Boss gets the human kid I get the ATM Well your background is neurology primarily is it not Finn You dont really know how to program in any modern languages do you Ive got that expertise And besides if Guy were alive I think hed I could almost hear Finns eyes blink with disbelief You didnt know shit about Guy bristled Finn Then looking back at the floor he mumbled apologetically I guess no one didFinns voice echoed for 03242901 seconds and then I perceived a plastic clicking noisethe nothingness spilled back into my CONSCIOUSNESSBUFFER I was back in the electronic ether I was inside Project Faustus

Wrong: it doesn't imply hopelessness, but rather encourages us to take action to change. Do you think that Kofi Annan wants us to throw up our hands and not care about the rate of improvement? No! By recognizing the magnitude of the problem, we can realize how important <i>more</i> improvement is. Just because things are improving doesn't mean we shouldn't be concerned about the huge inequalities that exist.

From the linked evidence website...
One theory is that Jesus became pure energy and the radiation burned the image into the cloth. This isn't a far fetched theory really. We don't know how He resurrected. As the theory suggests, He could have transformed into a form of energy. Einstein's famous equation E=mc2 tells that matter can become pure energy. In fact this is the same concept of an atom bomb - matter becoming pure energy using radioactive material as a catalyst.
This is evidence???????

From that crucifixion photography link, the site shows us a very modern, very clear, very unrealistic (in my opinion) photo of an actual crucified foot (near the bottom of the page). Is it just me, or does that just look too nice and neat with carefully arranged (but not too messy) bright red blood? Thankfully I'm no expert on the subject, but it just looks so 'perfect'. Nice clean, attractive foot, nice rustic piece of timber (artistically angled for composition), artsy clouds in the background, carefully spread bloodflow on feet and wood, etc.
One obviously questionable assertion that they try to pass off in the details makes for a whole site of suspicion.
You want spam?
Every other week, since the beginning of May, I've received a snail-mail letter from them whining about how my domain name is about to expire. (It's already been reregistered for a good six years. *chuckle*) I was with VeriSign at the time, but switched to buydomains.com.
I expected problems from VeriSign as my friend had some issues with them and transferring a domain awhile back. I was quite surprised, pleasantly, I might add. VS only sent me two snail-mail letters. One was a good deal away from the expiration date, reminding me that my domain would be up for renewal soon. The other was the same, but sent out before I transferred the registration. Got it the day after the transfer went through. *chuckle* I had no problems doing the transfer, either.
Two letters, both nice and not trying to 'pull' anything, and zero issues. Aside from the price, I'm almost sorry I left VS, they seem to have gotten their act together a bit over the past few months.
Now, register.com. Every other freaking week, as I've said. I mean, c'mon. VeriSign, I expected, after all, they were my registrar at the time, and they only sent me *two* letters!
Spam is spam, be it via e-mail or snail-mail. I wouldn't recommend register.com for the sole fact that they obviously support spam.
Urea, a component of urine, can be mixed with sodium carbonate, sodium sulfite, catchetol(?), and ascrbic acid to make developer for film. I found the recipe on a holography site. I'm not sure about it's uses, though, as I'm no photographer. http://members.aol.com/gakall/holopg.html

If a mass as large as a human body were converted into energy you would *not* burn an image into a piece of cloth. You'd probably turn the planet into a big cloud of rock and dust.
Nuclear weapons convert only a very small percentage of their reaction mass into energy, and the reaction mass is only a few kilograms to begin with. Now imagine 60 or 60 kilograms of mass being converted entirely into energy.
BIG badda boom.
Also, I can really see why you'd look forward to re-writing all your software for free on a platform with no support, that's gonna rock!
I'd like to formally apologize to Sears Photo Studio for ever having complained while sitting through those family portraits back in the '70s. In retrospect, you were surprisingly gentle with me.
"Internet Registry of Canada"
"Internic.ca"
These (among others) send nice official looking letterhead and such to make it look like they're the place you normally have your domain with, whereas 'renewing' with them is transferring over to them. They also have this annoying habit of sending 'renewals' about six months before it's due, hoping I'll accidentally renew with them instead of when the normal Verisign renewals start coming (which is still about three months before it ends).
I also get a variety of registrar renewal spam. However, I don't think Verisign helps their case by sending me renewals with these bizarre domains in the urls to click on (which do turn out to be actual verisign places). Since I don't click on urls without looking at them even the 'authentic' ones look phoney.
My normal method is: I wait for the last couple of weeks before the domain expires. I go directly to the Versign site that I know, I do the renewal through the steps there. No fussing with mail or email they've sent me.

Hey, kid... wanna touch my "kernel patch"?
-- Alan Cox
no, that would be from the "theory" page. at least report what the site actually says in context.
"Yea. I knew Jesus. Nice guy. Real concern for his fellow man. Kinda quiet. But boy... once you set him off... what a temper!"
Let's not forget that the amount of energy in a chunk of matter as large as an adult male human is greater than any nuclear bomb detonated yet.
So instead of just leaving a face imprint, if JC turned into energy, he would have left a gigantic crater. Unless, of course, he turned into energy at a nice, controlled slow rate. But then he'd probably be burning away for a few centuries.
i find the equation "E=mc2" extremely funny.
...if Jesus were the energy source that etched this image on the linen, he wouldn't cast a shadow, now would he?
Jesus is a vampire? Does that mean if you take communion, you become a vampire? I can't believe the church doesn't advertise this. I'm on my way to mass.
...or perhaps first "camera"
I recently saw a TV segment about research showing that he quite likely projected an image onto canvas using a lens, then painted or sketched the projected image.
He probably wasn't the inventor of the technique. I believe it was called a 'camera obscura'.
Just found a link, thanks to Google:
Vermeer's Camera
Wow, that's really inane. Now I know why people some peole call some Christians morons... I'm a Christian myself, but I have had little awareness of all the hilarious "evidence" out there... Amazing that people think a big ball of radiation could walk out of the tomb and talk to Mary Magdalene...
A solution to the problem with music today
Maricopa County stretches for miles and miles, but a lot of people live in the Phoenx metro. I recently decided not to move there, after a week's worth of R&R and recon in the area. Too many people, too many cars, too much smog, too much haze. Last there in the mid-nineties, I left disappointed this time.
-- Slashdot: When Public Access TV Says "No"
seems like the xians are starting to lose faith and need to justify their blind beliefs through crackpot science. A fucking man turning in to energy? Thats absurd. Oh wait, I forgot, he's the son of god, or wait, he is god, or, maybe the holy spirit. Yeah... maybe he changed from jesus, to the holy spirit, kinda like one of those unexplained and baffling Star Trek 'energy beings' that we see in 3 out of every 5 episodes of TNG. Perhaps the equation should be revised: E = J C ^ 2? They can make one of those WWJD trinkets out of it.
Actually the mass used for the Little Boy bomb was approximately 50lbs. Not much volume but uranium is damned heavy. And you're correct about the inefficiency of the fission, and that was even with an ideal sphere. Imagine the inefficiency of fission given a geometry like the human body.

So, the fanatics that believe in this shrowd BS, are now suggesting that Jesus, while in the grave, was egged and pissed on?
BRAWWWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Ohhh, Ohhh, let me answer:
I will leave it to you to work this part out (or look it up yourself): The conversion of mass to energy via Einstein's famous E=mc2 yields one megaton (like a nuke) per 46.58 grams of mass converted. Sooooo, if Jesus is a normal dude of say, 65 kilograms, his little "resurrection" act would have released just short of 1400 megatons of energy.
I'm just guessing here, but I think that someone might have noticed.

If your answer is Microsoft, you obviously didn't understand the question.
Disclaimer: I don't want to know this so I can run around and r00t a bunch of machines. I'm genuinely interested, since the flaw wasn't immediately apparent to me when I glanced at the patch a few days ago.
:)
With that said - does anyone have an analysis/description of where in the source the overflow was actually exploitable? I followed the auth_chall2.c call path fairly far, and didn't manage to find where nresp > 100 would actually overflow. It doesn't seem to be exploitable in the xmalloc() immediately following the patch, unless I really missed something. I didn't trace into openssl, so if it's an interaction between the two libraries, I wouldn't have hit it.
Hints, pointers, source snippets? All are appreciated.
You're absolutly correct. Actually, he was atomized by radiation somehow, according to an earlier post.
I think the first thing(s) i would try to clone if i could would be anything resembling human DNA in the shroud. It would be hilarious if some blond/black chinese guy(or even girl) come out of the clonation!
A source of light, like a lightbulb, is not the source of the shadow. There has to be something in front of it to do that, like a person. And vampires have shadows, it's reflections that they don't have.

Now I know why those creation science people can believe in some science but not all.
So did he have any broken bones, or not?
In "Carrying the cross" --
Christ's broken nose is attributed to the impact of his face hitting the ground as he fell while carrying the cross.
In "Death" --
The Gospel of John concludes that paragraph saying, "this was done so that scripture would be fulfilled that not one bone of His body be broken." And indeed, throughout the entire passion of Jesus, despite the extraordinary atrocities done to him, not one of his bones were broken.
I's like to touch on a point not raised by the Shroud site. It stands to reason that Jesus was circumcised, being Jewish. so, when he rose to heaven, did he leave his foreskin behind?

No need to find someone to host a scan of the DRA "renewal notice" - domainscams.com beat you to the punch a long time ago. They have scanned samples of these notices from VeriSign, Domain Registry of America, Domain Registry of Canada, and (just recently added) Register.com.
Corporate Jenga: You take a blockhead from the bottom and you put him on top...
This is assuming that the shroud even depicts Jesus. It seems one has to use circular logic to prove this (i.e. assume it is Jesus to prove it is Jesus, much like the problem with proving the existence of God.)
Besides, everyone knows we only discovered nuclear fusion in the 1940s. Sillies.
Ah, the finest flowery of slashdotterie, waxing indignant about a registrar sending out an advert that makes it quite clear that (1) they are not his current registrar, and (2) they're trying to interest him in switching to them in order to save money. Perhaps Our Indignant Correspondent hasn't ever seen that masterpiece of misdirection and outright lies that VerySlimy sent out. I did. I've also seen DRAs advertisement, and there's no comparison.
Oh, BTW, dude, your darling register.com sent me one of those adverts, too. Arrived in the mail the exact same day as DRA's. You'll be pleased to know that on the slimy attempt to prey on the ignorant scale, they were no worse than DRA. They might even have been a bit better about making it really really clear that they were trying to sell you on switching to them, but they lose those points for their attmept to drop the names of their Great Big impressive clients without - ah, here's the rub - without ever actually naming them. Nope, not one name out of millions of businesses, organizations and individuals. Maybe they couldn't get permission from any of them?

Subject: XSS in Slashcode
There is a nasty Cross Site Scripting(XSS) vuln in
Slashcode. This was used a day or so go on
slashdot.org and resulted in most of the site being
taken down for an hour or so. The maintainers of
slashcode have patched the problem in CVS but have not
even mentioned it anywhere that I can find. This
leaves all sites using slash vulnerable to this
exploit.
An example exploit (incomplete) is as follows:
I am dissapointed that the slachcode maintainers have
silently fixed this on slashdot.org yet made no
mention of the problem elsewhere so that other sites
can patch themselves. No wonder there are so many
"trolls" on slashdot.org...ah well.
If you run a site using slashcode, get the latest CVS.
That is all. Move along.

My domains are registered through Go Daddy. I used them because they were cheapest and a friend recommended them to me. To date (several months), I have recieved no spam from them other than a notice warning me about Verisign's nasty renewal notices, and a recent notice about how they're making domain transfer free. Also, my normal flow of spam didn't noticeably go up after registering. So while I'd agree that most registrars are scumbags, I gotta say I'm very happy with Go Daddy. So far, at least.

Well, that article sure wasn't convincing. It makes a big deal about cell phone usage going up by orders of magnitude, and then gives us an unimpressive figure: 342 million subscriptions. And we don't know how many of them weren't already land-line serviced. I would like to have a good figure on how much of the world is serviced by land-lines or cell-phones. This article simply didn't have enough facts.

if a pure matter to energy conversion took place...
Energy = Mass(Speed of light)^2
Assume a 90kg person, and C= 2997992458 m/s
Energy = 90kg(299792458m/s)^2
Energy = 90(8.9876e16)
Energy =5.3925e18 kg-m/s or 163,410,032,498,000,000 kilowatts
SO in short, that shroud wouldn't have an image burned in, the shroud (along with a good deal of the surrounding tomb and Pilate's Guards would have been vaporised.
No it is pretty clear the shroud of turin was constructed in a similar (but more complicated) manner as rubbing a pencil over a sheet of paper held on top of a credit card. In other words they put the shroud on top of some statue and then imprinted that on the shroud.
The only reason someone would claim the shroud was a photograph is because it is a negative image like negatives are. In no way shape or form was a picture taken involving pinhole cameras and the like. I mean good photosensitive materials were a long way in coming still.

As someone who regularly consults at the county , city and AZ state agency level, I hate to inform ya'll that this is very much a Microsoft kinda town. Yep, you heard it here first.
Further, Maricopa county is small potatoes when compared to the state and city agencies/IT budgets. Scottsdale's (one of the valley's cities) CIO probably has four times the dough than the dude that runs the county's boxen. Not to mention Phoenix city proper. And Tempe, Chandler, Mesa, etc. etc. Oh, and the state government.
And of course, government agencies are the least prepared to transition an existing employee base to a brand new technology paradigm, regardless of the cost benefits this might theoretically bring (or how supposedly easy it is to switch to Linux/KDE/OSS Office suite).
Sorry, I had to break the news.
When will people realise that the way to help your child grow up safely is not to forbid things Gee, maybe the same time they realise that if a pair of minors wants to have unprotected sex, then that's their business. I.e., NEVER, HOPEFULLY, BECAUSE YOU'RE TALKING FUCKING STUPID.
Hey Genius, we're talking about minors here, doing illegal things. It's one thing if you want to try and make a point about the futility of the war on drugs among adults, and the government's assault on civil liberties by trying to regulate activites exclusive to one or more consenting grown ups, but geez, kid, get your head out of your ass and use some common sense. We're talking about kids here. I know in your little fantasy world it's the 10-year-olds who are hacking out the planet-saving patches keeping this fragile society together, while the Ph.d educated engineers at Microsoft scratch their heads in awe, so this may surprise you: kids DON'T know it all. Kids need guidance. They need discipline. And, to borrow a phrase from my father, as long as you're living under my roof, eating my food, and using my phone, you're going to follow MY RULES
Good Lord man, you take this all kids are good and can be trusted thing too far.

If you live in the Phoenix Metro area, this is your big chance to make a great impression, show interest in your local government, and learn something too -- I mean, this is great-- the people who make important decisions about the county's technology are going to be LISTENING to you-- aside from the inevitable rips on Microsoft (easy to do), be sure to play up the cost-benefits and reliability of Linux and *bsd as viable alternatives. Have some printed materials (or CD-ROMs?) to give out.

This is my SIG. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
if Jesus were the energy source that etched this image on the linen, he wouldn't cast a shadow, now would he?
No, but he could have left burn marks...
Granted this makes their explanation of shadows and Hiroshima completely unfounded, but it still doesnt' eliminate the possibility. Personaly the image looks rather unasthetic to me.. is it proportional? Has this been measured?
CAn'T CompreHend SARcaSm?
Therefore, since we "know" Jesus spent 40 days in a fiery hell between his resurrection and his ascent to heaven (Lesson 7 of the Baltimore Catechism), it's reasonable to assume that he may have used nuclear fusion to slip away undetected. And used a force field to contain the explosion. And protected the shroud from being incinerated, but exposed it just enough to leave his shadow. After all, God created fusion "thousands" of years before man discovered it. It stands to reason he would be able to control it better than we do.
Another -- more plausible -- theory is that Jesus "miracled" himself up to heaven.
Personally, I believe the guards were drunk and didn't notice him slip out the back and hop a ship to the Bahamas. Hey, I'm entitled to my beliefs.
Does anyone know if Pima County has similar policies?
Slashdot is a waste of time. I enjoy wasting time.
I got a letter for some of my .ca domains last year and it was very mis-leading. The registrar had purposefully used a Canadian flag logo and a Helvetica-variant font to make it almost indistinguishable from a letter that the Canadian government (specifically CCRA, equiv. of IRS) would send out. Canadians are very respectful of the government and have a "sign first, ask questions later" attitude with correspondence from the government. I think the scam got blown open when someone got wise and informed someone in the gov. and they came down on the registrar hard not because he was scamming people but he had violated Canadian government copyright (look and feel, and all that)
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Yep... that Mediterranean Sea's looking a lot more suspicious now...
Yeah, that's right, register.com may be "aware" of other slams, but they are at least as bad. In fact, they are the only registry that has attempted to trick me into a "renewal" slam. I got the official-looking notice referring to my 5 domains just last week.

Good job, lets now re-train the end users. Then lets fire or re-train the IT dept. Boy, it's a good idea to make broad sweeping decisions, isn't it?
Whoops, did the county go bankrupt yet? Good thing that they saved all this money throwing out all their software. Oh, Tax increase? No problem! We have a new OS, and it's not Linux, it's Sun.
I'd like to change my register from Verisign, but one thing I like about their service is that you can manage your accounts from SSL-protected pages. Does anyone know of other registrars with similar security measures for managing accounts?
Now while I'm wondering how someone decided that oysters were edible, I can wonder how someone figured out 2000 years ago that urinating on an egg-white soaked cloth would produce an recognizable image. I know that things like gun cotton and Bakelite were discovered by accident but this egg-white thing I'm finding a bit hard to believe. But I would sure like to see a Mel Brooks bit on that historic moment.

So, with Paul Allsing being the CIO for the county, wouldn't it make sense that if they were to go with a future MS contract, we could hold him responsible and sue him for breaking the law? I'm not sure on all of the legalese here, any lawer types want to help on this one? I would certainly contribute several hundred dollars to a legal fund to enforce current law in my County, and plan on it if given the opportunity!

I was lucky to have parents who never intruded - dad, sometimes wanted to "help" me clean my room, but mom will always escort him out. I turned out to be the least problematic kid among my friends - and the most mature one. Same for my brother and sister. And my friends where always dropping by to talk to my mom and dad to ask for advice.
My son is just born, but that how I will raise him
Now for the previous poster - go and try to earn reputation - so that your kid and his friends will come to you and ask for advice - and follow it, without pressure, without EVER sneaking into their affairs. My bet they will obey you in public, and either drug themself silly or/and grew up a pricky dick, just like yourself.
<^>_<(ô ô)>_<^>
I'm glad there's going to be a hearing (re: Maricopa) but I believe that everyone there will simply be clarified on the spirit of that law, which is to give the County a means to unilaterally sever a contract IF THEY WANT TO, and establishes some reasonsble grounds to do so, probably limited by what's appropriate to the State constitution.
I don't read the statute as a binding mandate on the county to stop doing business with a contractor, but rather, as an escape valve that they may exercise if they so choose.
I suspect that everybody who shows up Monday will be told as much, if the matter is even addressed. I'll try to be there...

I am not so sure about their patch for the problem. Instead of checking after every call, they should change packet_get_int() itself to packet_get_int(int min, int max) that calls fatal() if number our of range. Otherwise, there are probably lots of other cases that can choke on strange values. If nresp is signed (not obvious from the patch), there might be fun with sending negative numbers as well. Similar, xmalloc should have a check for allocating blocks of ridiculous size. Also, look at the second patch. If they still need to check for nresp > 100, how does context_pam2.num_expected come to be over 100? Shouldn't they check it as well at the time they create it?

Assuming, of course, that Jesus had mass.
If you posit a divine creation ex nihilo, which violates the principle that matter can neither be created nor destroyed, then it's not too hard to question whether the mass of one Jesus could be unequal to the mass of an ordinary human.
Of course, if you believe God created matter out of nothing, it's also not out of line to assume that God has the potential to etch any image he wants onto any material surface, whether that surface existed prior to his etching it or not, and to assign to the surface receiving the image whatever ratio of carbon molecule he so desires, just to fuck with people who feel like carbon dating it. Who knows... maybe it amuses Him.
How much different is that from the Moses talking to a burning bush?

I also live in Arizona, and I've worked for several county governments here over the last thirty years. You don't want Microsoft to be a software vendor in Maricopa County? Then sue the Board of Supervisors. No, I'm not kidding... look at their track record in defending themselves against past lawsuits... they always settle, and sometimes even when they could clearly win. The County Attorney is notoriously understaffed, overworked, and inexperienced. Past performance says they'll fold up and wave a white flag if you wave a discovery motion in front of them. Shit, you could probably get Microsoft off their vendor's list for less than the cost of the celebration kegger afterward.
Lawyers. That's the way Microsoft would do business, it's only fair that we should use the same tools.
