Screensaver Bug in Mac OS X
dave1212 writes "Still too early to tell, but there seems to be a screen saver password exploit in Mac OS X. It was discovered and postedon the Full Disclosure list earlier today. Theories, personal tests, and rumours abound, with some success stories, and the possibility that it could affect all Cocoa programs. Speculation points toward a 2048 character buffer, with people using the emacs shortcuts Ctrl-K and Ctrl-Y to fill the text field in under half a minute."
Long Playing rekerd.
FPT!
now all the little old ladies who use macs will get hacked
OH NO
Someone identify the Final Cut Pro box cutting Return of the King and swipe the rough cut!
...OSS programs are nothing more than criminally illegal hacking tools? Why am I not surprised? Since Macintosh computers are export-control items, I'm reporting this violation of national security under the Patriot Act. RMS is going down (and not literally this time)!!!
Time for the Mac and/or Linux fags to come out. Defend! We must defend! AHHHHHHHHHHH
That's actually a good question. I'm sure there's a paper on the topic somewhere. I'd be curious to know too.
I would have thought that hot RMS action would be something only linux users would dream of
...because it can't *always* be santorum, that frothy mix of scat and lube which is sometimes the result of anal sex. See also the homophobe congressman.
Thank you Jesus!

Dear Apple,
I am a homosexual. I bought an Apple computer because of its well earned reputation for being "the" gay computer. Since I have become an Apple owner, I have been exposed to a whole new world of gay friends. It is really a pleasure to meet and compute with other homos such as myself. I plan on using my new Apple computer as a way to entice and recruit young schoolboys into the homosexual lifestyle; it would be so helpful if you could produce more software which would appeal to young boys. Thanks in advance.
with much gayness,
Father Randy "Pudge" O'Day, S.J.
For what it's worth, I do not believe that Rick Santorum is necessarily a homophobe. Think about it for a moment. The current taboos on incest are based on (discarding religious taboos) what? That's right. The high rate of birth defects resulting from incest.
Now, if anal sex is always ok, then what is the problem with anal sex between immediate family members? Technically, nothing.
No, I'm not a fan of Santorum. But you, sir, are a troll. How can Mr. Santorum condone anal sex between siblings, and condemn procreative sex at the same time? If the gay rights movement is correct, then anal sex is ok. If it is ok between perfect strangers, then why not the same for immediate relatives?
And if it is ok between immediate relatives, then is there really a reason that procreative sex is not also ok (given this world that supports the killing of unborn children)? After all, can we not do anything we wish to do without any consequences?
Well we can, according to a great many "experts" in the field of human sexuality. So which is worse:
Condemning homosexual acts between strangers, or condemning heterosexual acts between siblings (including anal sex acts between them)? If I can have anal sex with a stranger, why not with my sister?
Opponents will (of course) remind me of the high rate of birth defects that accompanies incestual deeds. I have already pointed this out, though: Since abortion is so widely supported, it must be acceptable. And if abortion is acceptable and anal sex is acceptable, then there is *no* reason that we should not be having sex with our family members.
Rick is right in that it is tantamount to promoting incest. Bigamy? I don't understand how. But incest? Yeah, I understand that. And for somebody who pretends to be as smart as you are, I would have hoped that you could figure this out on your own.
capisce?
Everytime someone posts a message about OS X, I try really hard to take it seriously.
:)
I repeat to myself..
Its a BSD kernel, its a BSD kernel, its a BSD kernel, its a BSD kernel.
But whats with the names? Safari? Jaguar? Panther? It's hard not to imagine mac users wearing helmets and riding elephants.
And its nearly impossible to say 'cocoa' without smiling? Seriously, try it.
Cocoa.
