Hawkes says the vulnerability was discovered and remedied back in 2007, but at some point in 2008 kernel developers apparently removed the patch, reintroducing the vulnerability
and this, my friends, is why we add comments to our code
I'll probably get flamed into oblivion for this, but...learn flash and leave it at that. If the company wants a real website they can hire a professional.
Now that's what I call going green! what is more environmentally friendly: a) seizing massive quantities of pot in police raids and incinerating it, releasing all kinds of toxins into the air or b letting the idiots ingest it a little at a time letting there bodies filter out the toxins before they affect the environment
I download a lot porn, and I also record a lot of masturbating videos. I have filled two computers with porn already. I want access to my porn at all times, especially since I maintain a porn site. I don't want to have swappable USB drives, I want all my porn available all the time on my network. I'm assuming that, since it's on a network, I won't need 16,000 RPM drives and thus I'm hoping a solution exists that can be disguised or stashed away and not overheat. So Slashdot, what have you done?
If only the big companies can afford it then that means there will be fewer stupid little patents. It will also make is harder for big companies to file tens of thousands of patents. How is that a bad thing?!
these guys openly made fun of scientology! They are not afraid of getting killed. If one of the writers was killed there would probably be a show about it the next week.
So the stupid driver who was texting on their mobile phone or eating a burger is fine, great. What about the ten year old old they've just thumped into with their SUV? Does it help them at all?
they should have been wearing a metal foam bike helmet
why does the screen need to be pressure sensitive? the primary application of this technology is for handwriting and sketching. Wouldn't it make more sense to add a spring for resistance and make the tip of the pen pressure sensitive rather then recreating the entire writing surface?
a 15yo builds a nuclear reactor in his basement and nobody stops him. But you bring a harmless bottle with some wires in it to school and they lock down the school for a day and force the kid to go to counselling?!
The terrorists have US citizens cowering in fear. They have already won.

most creative idea I've read so far
I would laugh if it ricocheted off the ISS and missed earth entirely.

... Joe Wang?! for a guy engineering high tech underwear?! And I suppose he is collaborating with joe mama, will hung, and mike hawk?!

what, by playing the sound backwards? it sounds like it is temporary, but not reversible!

People who are in power are generally very confident people. When you lie you need to be confident or people will not be convinced.
because those low-power proprietary cats are just so efficient.
am I the only one who sees a blurry tux face in the 180 photo?

planes fell from the sky and electric grids went black. It just didn't happen how and when we thought it would
Woohoo, iFarmVille here we come!
...may he rest in peace
here is a great video that shows how to detect a phishing scam using examples http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzfPUmQcfDs
great idea! magnets and electronics always get along well
nothing, it uses magnetic resonance, like an MRI machine. Are your hands magnetic?
