Open Source Firm Releases Patch for IE Bug [UPDATED]

An anonymous reader writes "An open source and freeware software development web site has released a patch to fix the URL spoofing vulnerability in Internet Explorer, which can be exploited by scammers who try to trick people into revealing details of online banking accounts or other private information." Naturally, the source for the patch is available as well. Update: 12/19 15:06 GMT by M : Sadly, the patch appears to contain a buffer overflow and some possibly-malicious code - see an analysis and news story, and this comment which suggests the patch author is trying to figure out who is taking advantage of the original vulnerability. Caveat patcher.

Tres amusing, monsieur. Do you *try* to be a horse's ass or does it come naturally to your kind?

You're the one using French, so I'll ask you the same question.

Whether you are attending a private sex party or a public club, there are some good manners that should be followed. Obviously these rules will vary for different parties, but here are a few good rules to follow so that you don't become an unwanted guest and never get invited back again.

• Don't be a sling lizard - In other words, don't get into a sling unless you have a play partner. And if slings are limited, give other people a change to use the sling.
• Lay down paper towels on the floor before playing to collect any spilled lubrication. You may also want to place a paper towel under the bottoms butt. Wipe off the play area and the bottom completely before leaving the play area. It is the tops responsibility to make sure the lube is wiped off the bottoms butt and that the floor and sling or table is wiped off and clean for the next person.
• Ask your host what the house rules are This includes where you are allowed to play and what supplies you should bring (I always bring my own lube, beverage, paper towels and other party supplies to private parties). At THE SLING you can bring your own lube or we sell it there. Bring your own beer if desired, we provide sodas, paper towels, gloves, condoms and shower. For all parties it's polite to bring your own towel in case you want to shower
• Don't just walk up to a play session and join in It's best to try to get some eye contact to see if they want you to join in. It can be very distracting to be in a scene and have somebody just join in especially if you don't want them there.
• Keep unnecessary conversation and noises out of the play area Try not to have regular conversations where people playing can hear you. Also, if you are a screaming or make loud noises during play, this may disturb other guests. Some people enjoy the loud moans and groans but many find it disturbing.
• If you move any equipment around return it to the original spot when done For example, if you raise or lower the sling, return it to where it was when you got there. Or if you move a table or chair, return it.
• Do not share lube. This can lead to the transmission of HIV and other diseases. The cans can become contaminated while playing so it's good to write you name on the jar of crisco or lube.
• Wash off hands and arms and dick when done playing Preferrably with an antibacterial soap.
• Don't walk around the party in street clothes or be a gawkerAt most play parties the guys are usually in jocks or chaps so that their butts are exposed

Debian is probably the dumbest distro around. All you zealots who run it are blind and probably fat with glasses. "Deb" in the word Debian is the closet you'll ever get to a woman, you sad bastards.

Hi Arvind,
Long time no see! Are you still at uni? Drop me a mail some time, it
would be great to collaborate with you again! (Have you seen my latest
little project, PIES?)

Debian has been a joke in the business community for a long time now but now even the geek community is jumping ship. Back 6 years ago I used to tolerate the constant political infighting and slow release schedule of Debian. But lately other distros have surpased Debian to such a degree that it makes debian look ridiculous and using Debian an excercise in masochism or stupidity. I don't know where Debian went wrong but its time to put the wooden stake into this blood-sucking monster once and for all. Debian is dead. It's time to move on.

Hmmmmm.....I don't know where you've been but it appears that Debian is doing just fine. It has more devleopers then ever before, has tons of sponsors, and more Distros then ever are being based on it. I assume you were referencing stable Debian in your post, however it is just what it's name says, "Stable". Stable has been tried and proven over years of testing and fixing. Its not like MS who releases Service Packs and updates with very few tests, and hopes that it doesn't break too many systems. If you want bleeding edge, then use unstable. Debian's unstable is about as stable as Red Hat or any other major distro out there. God forbid people take their time to ensure security and stability for the Stable version. Debian's package management is also the most envied of them all, even by MS users and has been said to be envied by many developers at MS as well. Debian is great, as a matter of fact I'll go so far as to say its perfect. If you had a problem installing it or somethng, you shouldn't generalize the entire distro. Its your fault, deal with it, get over it, and most importantly, learn from it. As Debian stands right now, it does take some knowledge to use, but thats because of it's many great aspects. Afterall, if you can sit down in front of an OS and do 95% of the most important things without having to know anything, how powerful or useful can it be? Learn to use Debian, once you get a hold of it I can almost assure you that you'll love it. One final thing, if you don't know already, UserLinux is being based on Debian for a reason. Learn from others mistakes and pay attention to those who know more then you. Those who are more knowledgeable on the subject obviously picked Debian for a reason. Stop spreading your FUD, your troll was hardly worth my time, but I don't want some newbie thinking that he/she should never try Debian because it sucks. I've used it for years alongside Mandrake, Redhat and Fedora. Debian is far superior for my needs, which are fairly general and anyone who does anything worthwhile with computers would certainly have the same needs. -Steve
