Microsoft Issues Ominous ASP.Net Security Warning
An anonymous reader writes "A security flaw in Microsoft's ASP.NET apparently allows access to password-protected areas just by altering a URL. There's no patch yet, but in the meantime Microsoft is telling ASP.NET developers they can rewrite their applications to prevent exploits. About 2.9 million web sites run on ASP.NET according to Netcraft." Some more links: another Microsoft article, NTBugtraq, K-Otik and Heise.
It's the American way isn't it? We have crappy politicians that lie, cheat, steal, etc. (on both sides BTW) and yet they get re-elected. DC recently elected Marion Barry, former mayor AND drug addict. We may end up with Bush for 4 more years despite NO WMD and a host of other things. Basically Americans don't hold people accountable for anything anymore.
Do really dense people warp space more than others?
That Christ didn't come to bring peace on earth. He came to say "the apocolypse is coming, and you sinners better repent now."
I can't view this story from work. Every other story loads fine.. at the moment I'm SSHd into an alternate server to post this comment. Anyone else having trouble?

>what the heck is that supposed to mean?
If you look at the context, versus 34 through, say, about 37, you can see exactly what it means.
Jesus didn't come to bring unity, but to bring division. He goes on to detail that division, between husband and wife, division between families, etc. Then in v.37 it is clear that the meaning is that He calls you to serve Him. That is the division. Some will, and some won't. There will be division between those who choose to believe and those who will never believe. Even within families.
On my reading of it, that appears to be the plain simple intended meaning.
Those who would give up liberty in exchange for security and DRM should switch to Microsoft Palladium!
