So what, your corporation's legal hounds are going to launch lawsuits against McAfee? Since you USAers honor the EULA (with those DISCLAIMER texts) more than the Constitution, good luck with that.
BTW, be sure to check the PDF (link in summary). The paper was well written, and the documented bug was totally fucking ridiculous. I'd say that the whole thing was made-for-disaster.
You hired a guard and he raped your daughter. Now your neighbor also has a daughter and he hired another guard. Somehow, that guard decided to emulate the broken behavior of your guard as well.
Would that not simply mean that those who were born daughters were simply inviting rapists as opposed to rapists somehow being responsible?
If you can't understand the above analogy, here's a Car Analogy for you.
You drove a Toyota on the road and killed a pedestrian due to negligence. Someone else driving a Ford emulated your broken behavior and killed another pedestrian. It means that the pedestrians were simply choosing the insecure way of transportation as opposed to drivers somehow being responsible.
Last time I checked, the USA is supposed to be some kind of a democracy. Therefore, instead of hoping for a Wise Person getting appointed, why not use the democracy-ishness and get your stuff fixed?
Nice to see the link, but I think the relevant quote here lies in Article 4 "Rights of redress".
However, because the firmware update is not distributed as a consumer good through the same chain of sellers that distributed the devices, they may as well argue that the law doesn't apply here (so no case for retailers), and they retain the right to fuck everyone else by the EULA (so no case for customers).
It is explicitly said in the EULA that the warranty of "fitness for a particular purpose" is totally disclaimed in any imaginable or non-imaginable way.
The EULA applies to firmware, too, according to the 3rd paragraph.
If the kernel is fucked, nothing works any more. Any results from on-line determination of the damage status of the machine itself should be assumed fake because the malware is in control of all local resources. To accurately determine the status of the computer, it must be taken offline.
Never trust what rooted machines say about themselves...
Theoretically, you're right. Practically, Murphy's Law takes precedence over the Scriptures, and you _will_ find "installing the MS patch" a necessary step in the rootkit removal.

There are 200 million unemployed in China, according to the Prime Minister, Wen Jiabao. Most of them were paid exactly nothing.
From the perspective of those teenagers working in the electronics shop it is not only necessary for them selves, but also necessary for their unemployed parents.
In China (and everywhere else I believe), it is not illegal on its own to arrange 15-hour shifts. However, this can be carried out only in the presence of the employees' consent, and the "extra hours" (ones beyond the usual 8 hr) must be paid with extra wages (at least 2x on weekdays and 3x on holidays).
I can tell you that those girls and boys are more than willing to work the extra hours, but they're usually poorly educated and don't know their rights.
Also, in China it's not illegal to employ a 16- or 17-yr old if it can be proved that it is absolutely necessary for supporting the employee's family, AND the job does not involve risky operations e.g. ones w/ toxic matter, radiation, or working high above the ground.
These days the word "international" has lost its meaning. It used to be "between or across nations" but now it's becoming a synonym of "foreign".
As a person whose native language is not English, I don't care much about the semantic shift. But could it be a hint that the "spirit of our times", assuming its existence, is also making a shift towards the positive end of the political bigotry spectrum?

That's not a problem of HTTP, but a feature.

At least you can still traverse that path.
Wake him up when /. posts a blogging equivalent of a circular dependency hell.
If not, he's probably going to be promoted from an engineering minion to mid-management at marketing dept.

Nah, it's more like this:

Segmentation Fault. Core dumped.
April is the cruellest month, breeding
Bugs out of the crap app, delaying
Fixes and patches, stirring
Angry geeks with slashdot dupe.

I see your point, but I guess by "redundant" you meant to say "futile", or has my humor filter been rooted?

You can't claim ownership over something non-existent such as the soul. It doesn't exist.
And no, there is neither God nor immortality of souls.
