Should one assume that the vuln is also in Acrobat Standard and Acrobat Professional? Got some users using those, and won't this be a joy for the pre-8 ones.
Y'know the really funny thing? Back in the day, IBM bundled StarOffice (I think 3.0 or thereabouts) with OS/2 Warp 3.0. That was back when StarOffice was owned by the independent Star Division.
But you don't *want* your lusers to have access to *any* Admin account, or they'll just start logging on as that instead. That's why you can't use "run as".
Can't do that with most Adobe software, unless they've wised up recently. There's other software that *must* have Admin rights to run.
In theory you could figure out exactly which files and registry keys the poxy things need write access to, but that's almost never documented, and it's better for them not to write to hkey_local_machine anyway.
Never had a luser with a really simple password write it down on a monitor sticky, have you?
I'm talking favorite-sports-team or granddaughter's-name simple.
We have a password policy that mandates pwds of min 7 chars, containing 3 of (upper, lower, num, symbol), changed every 180 days. These accounts just haven't expired the passwords yet. The policy also states Thou Shalt Not Write Thy Passwords on a Sticky, at least not where everyone can find it. Lusers don't listen, of course, because they're special.
We've pointed out that if they/don't/ follow the policy, the state is apt to enforce/their/ policy, which mandates password changes once a month.
He didn't even mention Automatix or Easy Ubuntu at all.
As far as I can tell, EasyUbuntu is dead. There's no release for Feisty, the website hasn't been updated since early this year, and no plans showing for Gutsy.
I wasn't that impressed with Automatix anyway. It's easier to just use Add/Remove menu item, IMO, and you can just install the nonfree codec pack as well.
At least Terry Goodkind finally realized he should close out the main series so he wouldn't become like Jordan... Too late. I don't know if you've read his latest effort, but don't. That one I/did/ throw against a wall, which even book 10 of WoT couldn't drive me to. I finally got tired of Richard spouting off; it was almost like the Speech in _Atlas Shrugged_, but spread out here and there. No plot for dozens of pages, just dialog.
I say that as a big fan of the first four or five books in the SoT series, to the point that I was regularly staying up until 2am reading.

Foxit Reader is the canonical 3rd-party viewer for Windows: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php
Macs have Preview, Linux has Evince and others.
GROAN! That's the worst pun I've heard all month.
Who gives a shit if it's 64 bit, it /works/. With a 64-bit browser, yet.
nspluginwrapper, if you're talking about AMD64. See here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=476924
Google's /clearly/ given up on "Don't Be Evil".
Adblock+ & NoScript for the win.
And Netcraft.
You just need to program your robotic girlfriend, then.
They've leveraged their synergy?
I'm going to scrub out my keyboard now.
There seems to have been a version 3 that is 32-bit; you should try looking for that.
You're just pissed that Panzer Dragoon > Horse Dragoon.
(yeah, I know that's a myth)
Sure doesn't. There's an API you can use to SUID (useful in vbscript?), but no bit as such.
People were there to listen to Kerry. They weren't there to listen to the troll. That's the difference.
Shirley you can run it in Windows XP? Or in WINE?

Full-circle & all that.

He hurt my feelings.

Pah. The people posting that just want to look "cool" or "with it" and don't bother understanding what they're writing.
Much like the wankers who write "begs the question" when they mean "raises the question".
They have a bright future in management, in other words.

PlaysForSure? I thought MS had abandoned that in favor of... something. Why would they use /that/?

That doesn't help the problem, which is that MP3 is a patented format & the creator wants licensing fees for using the format.
