Microsoft Releases Changelist for Upcoming XP SP2
kylef writes "As we know from independent sources, Microsoft is busy readying Service Pack 2 for Windows XP. They have published on their website a changelist document (link goes to TechNet download page) detailing the nature of the security-related fixes and updates. The document is targeted towards XP admins and covers some interesting things such as the new Internet Explorer Pop-up Manager and various security policy changes. Some other juicy tidbits from the document: Internet Connection Firewall will be enabled by default, and there will be new support for something called "Execution Protection" which allows developers to make use of the NX (no execute) page guard flag on Intel's Itanium and newer AMD processors. An interesting read."

kudos on yOUR (voting with yOUR wallet) acumen J.. helping to bring the greed/fear/ego/deception based orwellian fuddite/softwar gangster/unprecedented evile contingent to it's execrabilious knees was easier than you thought possible? likely because it (the fairytail bullshipping industrIE) was mostly phonIE to begin with anyway?
moreover, really, it just 'looks' better. actually the creators' planet/population rescue mandate crisis alert is still elevated. lookout bullow.
consult with/trust in yOUR creators.... give the gift of light.
and let me tell you that I really loved their ideas on "safer e-mail". Anyone sees that they already applied this tecnic on microsoft, because the e-mail containing the detailed information for this topic never reached the author:

This story reminds me of Saddam Hussein's sons who didn't have what to do with their money. They lit cigarettes with $100 bils.
I like my beer free and my chicks hot.
Like, yeah, I was like, downloading this doc file, and like, I opened it in wordpad, and like, it was like beep beep beep, and it was gone. It was a really good doc file. I like, bought a mac? And now, I don't even need to read the doc file, because, like, who cares about windows anyway?

"new support for something called "Execution Protection"
is the reason why not.
Only if we get to have a Linux-free year. Who care about RMS, kernel patch levels, or a new version of Emacs?
I can't remember, ever, when the mention of a Windows service pack would make such "news" on Slashdot.
I hate to say it, but Windows matters now. Peple are using it. Win95, Win98 are dead, and buggy, crashy operating systems died with them. I don't miss them at all. Although I can still find plenty of problems win Win2k and XP, they are light years ahead in terms of what matters to Slashdot readers: not crashing and not being stupid.
Since when did Windows matter enough for such attention?
I've been using Firebird/Phoenix since 0.5 now. A friend recommended Avant Browser, which I reluctantly tried. It finally got me away from Firebird.
;)
Avant's not really its own browser, but an add-on for IE. It includes a built-in pop-up blocker, tabbed browsing, and 2-click filtering for flash, java, activex, sounds, movies, images, etc. Plus, it has a built-in Google search, and renders IE immune to most of the malware crap you'd pick up just by browsing (at least, in the 3 weeks I've been using it, Spybot S&D's only found 1 piece of spyware).
It's worth a shot for anyone who's looking for a change in their browser. And while I wouldn't call Avant flat-out better than Firebird, it's definitely an equal, which puts both browsers head and shoulders above the overbloated Mozilla.
