New IE Holes Discovered
joelt49 writes "Yahoo! News is reporting that 7 new security holes for Internet Explorer have been discovered by a Chinese researcher; however, there apparantly aren't any attacks on IE yet." The part about this story that gets to me is that the researcher didn't alert Microsoft before posting to a public mailing list. Sure, a lot of people don't like Microsoft, but that's no reason to make it worse for the millions of people who are forced to use Microsoft products, especially for security holes which have yet to be exploited.
So how do you get around if there is a problem in say the kernel? Or your bios?
The USA is only interested in building a pipeline across Afghanistan, and controlling the Iraqi oil reserves. If you really think the USA cares about stopping mass murders you really need to get out more - and maybe listen to some non-US news sources. Did you know that the USA regulary overthrow valid demotratically elected governments just because their political agenda doesn't suit the US?
Do yourself a favour, and read this
it's in my head
i still *think* your being self centered. To say that a collection of people just flat don't care is a hugely overly simplistic view of the world and so probably you need to get out more.
1. you don't know me so how can you say i've never gotten out? or should get out more? For that matter I don't know you so i can't say that either.
2. you're passing judgement on me without even knowing me. you're classifing large bodies of people without ever getting to know each. (one might so well this is the best we can) you're wrong!! you can't judge period. You only hope for the best and take action when you can. and then keep on hoping. so long as people are reasonable shit gets done and people don't get killed
3. I really believe that usa can make a difference in iraq and its better then having shitty sadam killing thousands of people and in general being a greedy little bitch. different from the sometimes slimmy amercan businessmen.
you realize of course we could go back and forth on this all day and that it really won't result in anything.
i think we can agree that shit is hitting the fan in iraq and lets just hope the end result is good for both iraqies and americans, cause after all we'd all like to live in the world together so we can fuck a lot and make babies and spending many meaningless hours posting to slashdot when we should be coding and inventing
The US, like every nation with a victorious army, uses fear and terror to get what they want. Scaring enemies into cooperation by killing some of them is considered morally superior to the alternative of shooting them all. Fact: prisonor realizes that he can use religion as a means of coercing youth into believing that dieing for their cause is worthy. his idea is simple entreched soldiers run but can have the courage to pull a trigger and kill themselves in just a single moment they will achieve that simple goal. Nobody has killed more people (130,000) with a single bomb than a US pilot. that's true so how many times did we do that again and with what frequency? were we rational when we did it? I think the point is we all want to play with our computers and fuck. so, we need to step back for a second and try to look at things in prespective.
1. ms is evil
2. blowing ourselves up to kill others in the name of religion is a bunch of crap.
3. if we want to change something its typically better to work with that system then to work against it. (i.e. lobbiest not bombs get the US to do things for you) (i.e. creating GUI's similar to MS apps gets people to be comfy with'em and switch)
i want people to be happy and live comfy with choices
i was crying when i heard about us troops havin to leav their families.
really sad shit It sickens me when i think of how many families are now broken in iraq. i just hope the shit will settle so they can start playing too...
