IE has a problem with: <input type="img" name="button" value="hitme">
I don't understand how this is a problem NOW, as IE has had this problem for a long time. What the above snippet gets you is not "button=hitme", but instead "button.x=15, button.y=10" or something similar. IE returns you the coordinates where you clicked on the image, but not the value!!! Right. There is no value. Who would need that anyway? Doh.
Don't remember exactly when I ran into this bug, a few years ago at least. One fix at that time involved creating names of a certain structure which could then be matched by regexes so you can extract the value from the name(!). If there is a most ugly hack I ever made, this has to be it. Luckily my memory regarding this topic is blurry as I do not do webdesign anymore.
Check your users against DNSBLs. Originally intended to block out malicious mailservers via their IP addresses, they are applicable on webservers as well. Via sorbs you can check for open HTTP and SOCKS proxies (interresting for you), open SMTP servers (not very interresting for you), webservers with unpached vulnerabilities, hijacked IP netblocks and malicious (in bed with spammers) network service providers. Other lists include the here recently mentioned Spamhaus list, and various DULs (dial up user lists). See the Wikipedia article for some of them.
I used DNSBLs at my former employer to block users coming through open proxys from registering domains. We saw that every phisher who bought a domain name came through an open HTTP proxy and used a stolen credit card. So using DNSBLs was the only viable option then.
I used RedHat and Fedora for quite some time and never had a problem with what you call "rpm hell". Apt, Yum and Smartpm are available for almost every RPM distribution and make upgrading a no-brainer. After using a DEB based (Ubuntu) distribution for a year now, I can safely say that I like RPM better than DEB. This could be subjective, but I have the feeling that you can upgrade a RPM based distribution across incompatible glibcs safely because the whole upgrade is done in one step (given that all the set RPM dependencies are sane).
I also do not like DEB for constantly asking me questions... what the hell.:) On the other hand, as a long time system administrator I LOVE Ubuntu, because I do not have to administrate my own desktop anymore. It's a joy to just USE it.
From TFA: Schroepfer also predicts that security will continue to be a problem "for anything written in native code," such as C and C++. For example, he notes that security problems caused by memory issues have evolved over the years; from stack-based exploits, to heap-based, to null pointer exploits.
From http://vsftpd.beasts.org/IMPLEMENTATION: The correct solution is to hide the buffer handling code behind an API. All buffer allocating, copying, size calculations, extending, etc. are done by a single piece of generic code. The size security checks need to be written once. You can concentrate on getting this one instance of code correct.
Can somebody please tell me, why are we still having this discussion?
AFAIK in revision 1.2 it is possible to replace the master-key in the TPM module. This was a major point of criticism of previous revisions. Of course you then lose the "benefits" of the trust-web.
It's not about utilisation. It's about (drum roll) "a great quality interactive user experience".
I would gladly take a 8 core processor, as all interactive threads would run much smoother and would not get wobbly when doing massive amounts of IO work.
And I doubt that all your 162 threads run at the same time. That you would notice.
So has nature. As I recall, some 75000 years ago the global population of humans shrank down to a few thousand individuals[1]. Supervulcano at work. Bioweapons? Nature has them. Pick one. Repeat after me: "Black death".
Now look at the world today. Mankind will manage. Unless there is a bacteria or a virus that will kill every human on this planet AT ONCE, or the climate changes to a state where no higher mammal can survive, there will be people around. A few thousand will do.

But it happens _all the time_. It is estimated that the earth has an influx of meteorites and extraterrestrial dust in the order of millions of tons per year.
At 24 bit color-depth, a movie at 25 frames/second using this device, would require approximately 70 Gigabits/second. The question is how you move (cough, cough) a CPU to move the bits fast enough.
Depends on what you do with these machines. There are many scenarios, especially with long used installations. Only you know where all your valuable data is on your machines. Locate it and back it up.
Desktop-Use only: It may be sufficient to just re-use your current/home directory. In case/home is a seperate partition: Bingo! Just do not format it when installing Ubuntu and give it the proper mount-point (/home). In case it is not a seperate partition: Copy all the data away (preferrably with tar), install Ubuntu, recover your/home directory from the tar-file.
In both cases manually readd your users and re-chown your user-directories to the correct users afterwards. (chown -R user:user/home/user) This is because of different uids on different machines.
Importatnt: Think (twice!) before you type. I am not responsible for any loss of your data.
For Server-Use: Depends on what servers you use. Contact a sysadmin.
On the other hand, it *could* be just another trojan sitting on a Ford dealers computer, reading his conversations, extracting email adresses, sending it up to his master...
Well, I did actually run Windows Server 2003 using Xen 3.0.1. This was only 2 weeks ago. The only prerequisite is a Intel processor with the Vanderpool virtualization technology. Access to the screen is done via VNC.

It just struck me:
:)
1. Capturing full HD content is very hard.
2. Unencrypted HD content gets scaled down.
3. Capturing downscaled content is not so hard.
4. ?
Did they really intend this?
To my knowledge no one knows yet which player was used to extract the keys. PowerDVD was only used to play the ripped content.
:-)
At least, this is what the PowerDVD people keep telling.

For further insight see this more recent blogpost.
The modern solution to this is obvious:
- Don't use type="img"
- Style your buttons with CSS instead
Thanks for reading and understanding.This is... odd.

I know that. Good music, NO DRM, fair price.
I'd rather buy CDs than download music. This way I don't have to make a backup. CDs virtually last forever.

Tell me how it worked out. Right now my son is 4 months old and I think along similar lines.
The theoretical part would perhaps further your insight into regexen. Hard to tell how good you really are. This book really was an eye-opener to me.
We had HD all along! Try Super 8 with good film.
So now we know (confirming our theories about AOL users) 36306 people searched(!) for myspace.com, but no one for slashdot.org.

Nope. wc gave me 532 words, not 533.
Now the pointyhaired ones are able to print out emails and attach the attachments to it via sticky tape. Horrors!

...doesn't appear to have any great value.
What kind of value do you speak of? Economic?
Functional molecluar machinery?
One, as mentioned, is slipstreaming SP2 + the hotfixes. Pretty much a PITA, since you'd have to continually update your CD as new patches come up.
Not really a problem if you do a network installation, which unattended supports btw.
