Microsoft Sits on Security Flaw for Six Months
pmf writes "Yet another critical vulnerability affecting Windows 2000/XP/2003 has been just announced by eEye. It is worthy to note, that it took Microsoft over 6 months to fix it. The bug affects ASN.1 library and is remotely exploitable through authentication subsystems (Kerberos, NTLMv2) and applications that make use of SSL certificates." The AP has an overview.
Hmmmmm.... what exploits are the MyDoom viruses currently using? (i actually dont know, but i'm curious)

the PHPs will not give up Outlook and PowerPoint untill there is a superior linux analog.
Are you talking about PHP 3 or PHP 4? Either way, I prefer mod_python for my server-side scripts.

The tape delay was a decision CBS made on their own. The FCC doesn't mandate broadcasters using specific technology (outside of certifying transmitter equipment, antenna systems, and the like,) only requires the broadcaster to take responsibility for any "oopsies" that they broadcast. In order to avoid responsibility for future "oopsies" (and show they've taken steps to correct the problem Janet's nipple created) they self-imposed use of a 5-minute delay.
Who did what now?
(This gets really OT now...)

Thank you for this additional information
Would you mind giving me an idea of how much "taking responsibility" for an "oopsie" would cost, roughly, in dollars and/or PR deficit, for channels like CBS ?
Afterwards, would you like to elaborate further about the choice the channels still have under these conditions ?
(No flame intended, just looking for ideas).
Karma cannot be described by words alone.
You guys are so uptight about this nipple thing. Someone on UK TV said "F**king c**ts" with 12 million people watching, and only about 80 people complained.

Really, I don't think Janet would like Balmer to be her dance companion. Just look at those pit stains!
