I call shenanigans on your shenanigans on his shenanigans. Any true victim of Windows, will tell you the only way to be sure you've removed the crapware is with fresh install of another OS. Something the GP can do cause he can download one.
This is not the first time a huge security vulnerability was fixed by changing a single character!
From what I remember, the SSL vulnerability we saw a while ago was caused by a single excess comment mark (well, maybe two if it was a double forward slash
I see your point, then then again it was an example. In fact, I do believe that the summary referred to the complainant as a "customer", which infers pretty strongly that some money HAD in fact changed hands at some point.
That's nothing, at my old high school, they used a windows (2003?) server for all the network files. They also had the entire network visible in windows explorer, you just couldn't get into other students/teachers accounts due to "privileges".
I later found out however that the security policies were being enforced entirely on the CLIENT side. Yes, that's right, client side!
I brought my laptop in one day, signed in with my normal credentials, used explorerXP (third party file browser) and BOOM! full read/write access to the ENTIRE network drive!:)
1) used for other government programs
2) used for training
3) used for local support
4) used for enhancing the software for new features
5) used for lining the wallets of local entrepreneurs.
6) used to buy textbooks, etc.
I have also seen ssh clients that allow you to run the same command simultaneously on a LIST of ssh servers. All you need is a good 4096bit SSL cert and "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y" and all is well.
Ok, so the little toasters are gone, but big deal. I got this extension after reading the download squad article (yeah, they beat slashdot), and I haven't actually noticed anywheres that a toaster seems to be missing.
Most things seem to show up right in the main window where you type things in, but if I'm missing something, I'd love to know what.
Parallax has no real depth, but helps simulate the effect in the brain. Stereoscopy has no depth, but works just like the eyes to give the brain the data it needs to reconstruct the depth.
I'm pretty sure it would be rather easy for a computer to do the same calculations to create a 3d image from them.
In face, slashdot had an article a while back (to lazy to look for it) where they did this with video!

I just wish I had that much free time on my hands. Then again, I am reading Slashdot :p
Probably?!?
So it's only terrorism if he says he didn't do it?...
Yes, but how do you update your Windows 2003 Server?
Close, I believe he was dealing with Lenovo directly, not Microsoft, but then again, I never RTFA.
It is very Tajikistan heartbreaking to realize such jokes are being made at the expense of entire countries.
I use Ubuntu on my laptop at College (BCIT) and whenever I have to print something, I just use OpenOffice Portable which I have on a USB key.
For those that don't want to use up 80MB on their USB key, there is also AbiWord Portable at 6MB for text documents.
PortableApps are invaluable if you need to use programs temporarily on windows machines.
Damn! :(
Totally off topic, but does anyone need a recently purchased plane ticket to the Netherlands?

How the hell did you miss that one?!?

I'm more worried about the fact that they gave you the password...
So if your bank changed your pin to say "1234", you wouldn't mind at all?
You'd probably want to use some sort of EM shielding (Faraday cage or similar)
Like perhaps some type of, oh I don't know, steel vessel, welded shut?!?
Not mention some poor S.O.B. has to cut this thing open in 25 years!
Also consider wireless!
Yep, try and get something with 802.11z, just in case
Same here on Hardy x86_64 with FF3.

How is that outside the box?
Who the hell's going to WRITE the bug report?
Proposal: make every web-design student use a text-only browser (like lynx) for the first 2 years of school.
You actually believe that the people making those types of websites spent 2 years in web-design school?!?
