NEC Develops Linux Tablet/PDA Hybrid

zmcnulty writes "I've translated today's PC Watch article (Japanese) about a new tablet/PDA device from NEC - it has an 8.4" (640x480) touchscreen LCD, and a CD-ROM drive. It's also suprisingly affordable; about $645 USD. However, don't expect to be able to buy one soon, as production is limited to only 4,000 units for the first year. Still, this is an interesting prospect, and it's good to see major Japanese corporations interested in Linux."

Apache 2 security flaws announced

[Anonymous Coward]

So much for IIS being everyone's favorite scapegoat...hypocritical:

Multiple security vulnerabilities in Apache 2

A memory leak in mod_ssl allows a remote denial of service attack against an SSL-enabled server via plain HTTP requests. Another flaw was found when arbitrary client-supplied strings can be written to the error log, allowing the exploit of certain terminal emulators. A third flaw exists with the mod_disk_cache module.

For more information, please see the GLSA Announcement

UUDeview MIME Buffer Overflow

A specially-crafted MIME file (.mim, .uue, .uu, .b64, .bhx, .hqx, and .xxe extensions) may cause UUDeview to crash or execute arbitrary code.

For more information, please see the GLSA Announcement

CmdrTaco Back from Cuban Blast

[Anonymous Coward]

I just got back from a once-in-a-lifetime trip to old Havana. It's no secret that the Castro regime is desperate for hard currency (especially U.S. dollars). I'd also heard that the Cuban Ministry of Tourism was pulling out all the stops in a last-ditch effort to attract white upper class U.S. males (translation: disposable income) who were seeking nontraditional vacations.

Fellow members of the above target group, stop and think a bit about what you'd like in a no holds barred tropical vacation:
1) Smooth, aged in wood, dark rums for around $2 a bottle?
2) Absolutely stunning ninos who do anything you want for $100 a night, or if you're on a budget, a first-class blow job for $20, no extra charge for a facial cumshot?
3) Primo Columbia flake cocaine at $500 per oz? This is absolutely fresh unstepped-on high quality nose candy -minimum 95% purity. WARNING: Do not, under any circumstances, try to leave Cuba with even a trace of this shit on you.
4) A wild deep sea fishing expedition where you fish with hand grenades and belt fed
machine guns?

All this and more is available on what the Ministry of Tourism has dubbed their "Silver
Bullet Package." The package consists basically of prepaid hotel accommodation and prepaid meals. The hotel was clean, comfortable, but a little run down. Even the best hotels in old Havana seem a little seedy by American standards, but the staff go out of their way to make sure that the package members are pampered. The meals were a very pleasant surprise-unlimited quantities of fresh seafood, fruits, and fresh bread - but be warned that lunch and dinner are strictly BYOB. The hotel provides setups and mixers of course. This could have been a problem except that black marketers hawking good rum are numerous in the neighborhoods around the hotels. A small tip to a bell hop will put you face to face with a fellow selling hootch out of a suitcase. The bottles are unlabeled, but the dark rums I tasted put Myers Dark, Mount Gay, and Bacardi Dark to shame for about $2 a bottle!

As you might guess the day to day routine involves lots of eating, drinking, snorting,
dozing, and loitering. Taxi rides to the foreign beaches are fairly easy to find but I found the beaches strangely boring - most of the USDA Grade A ass centers around the hotels and doesn't really get strutting 'till early evening. The ritual is as follows: Interested gents should sit out on their balconies an hour or so before sunset and look for young boys sauntering down the boulevard. The "working boys" are hoping to make eye contact. If you see a young stud you particularly like, wait 'till you catch his eye and give the universal "come on up" hand signal. The more seasoned pros will find your hotel room from your balcony's location. Sometimes it pays to run down to the lobby to meet her but it's usually not necessary. My favorite was a young slender stud who called himself Raul. He claimed to be 14 (but was more likely 16 or 17), was light-skinned and a dead ringer for Justin Timberlake. I nearly ejaculated when I heard his prices - $100 U.S. for the night, anal sex, or if I was in a hurry $20 for a blowjob. I've never been comfortable with long term relationships, so I was leaning towards the latter option. I asked him if he was an expert at oral sex. He must have read my mind - he swore he gave the best blowjob in all Havana, then smiled, and put his arms around my neck and added: "If I like your cock you can cum all over my face." God, that settled it. I slipped him a $20 bill and he put a pillow on the floor to kneel on. This wasn't one of those midtown Manhattan "hurry up and come so I can cook up another shot" blowjobs, no siree. This was more like "Honey, I really really love my new mink coat. " Full eye contact, lots of licking and teasing. He must have liked my cock, because when I was ready to shoot he
lifted his head back, positioned the head of my cock just over his chin and jerked me off - my favorite way to cum. He got up smiling and asked "You like?". When I caught

d00d, I absolutely love your blog. I mean, as if sites like Slashdork weren't enough now we have blogs with 1337 speak and bogus arguments as to why Linux definitely r0xxorz and "Windoze" is "teh sux". "M$"? "Impending doom"? HAHAHAHA!!! Excellent! Did you come up with those yourself? I mean, it's entertaining if nothing else. Oh, and the "my girlfriend" thing? Brilliant!

Well I should get on topic now. What was it I was going to say...? Oh, yes. GRiD invented the tablet PC about 10 years ago or thereabouts. Hope that helps.

And keep polluting that blogosphere! $deity knows we need eye-openers like yours!
