Which I use and have had Google blocked for years. It's not setup that way by default (or at least wasn't when I originally set up those filters, it might be in the subscriptions by now though)
There is an advantage to the clicking that Adblock doesn't have though - it makes it obvious to Google that people don't want it. The not loading won't be seen unless Google goes looking for it, with help from each hosting site. That's unlikely to happen.
The adobe flaws are, TTBOMK, cross platform, so it's not exactly "sit there and wait for it".
It's easy to modify ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile, start a perl script that does network access. There's a nice portable bit of malware right there. It can scan local files for e-mail addresses and send those out, change config files so that it's a proxy for web traffic. If there's binary too, it sets up LD_PRELOAD so it's in all new user processes. It doesn't have to be destructive, it can be part of a spam net or a bot net.
Nothing there that requires admin, nothing there that standard *nix security will prevent.
Get this through your thick skull: It doesn't take admin level holes to do damage. A dumb user is a dumb user, regardless of OS, and a good chunk of malware does only normal application level calls.
8? There's a hell of a lot more than 8, and more than the 13 the number indicates. There's the tactics games (at least 4 of 'em), X-2, the expansion packs for XI, Crisis Core, Cerebus, Dissidia, XII Vs., and probably more that don't come immediately to mind.
That still doesn't mean optical will be the media of choice. If flash gets cheap enough, cards may eventually be the replacement. Or if that holographic storage ever comes into existence (yeah, right, they were talking about that 20 years ago. It'll be in the dash of that flying car that'll be in everyone's garages).
Writable smart cards would also allow this POS activation in a secure manner. No key, no read or the data isn't even on the card until purchase, and then it's only encrypted.
It's certainly more responsive, some people complaining that now only one of the theme pics you bought gets used rather than one per blade and you can't choose which.
More than one do get used, I'm just trying to figure out the rhyme and reason of it. If you go deeper, it does change pictures. By and large, only one does get used in the bulk of the interface.
At least the themes are usable now. I never used any because the text always became unreadable.
It does hav bugs like any OS which luckily they are fairly quick to address
Riiggghht. Like the Finder security flaw that I found that was definitely in 10.4 and 10.5 and probably all the way back. They closed it as "enhancement".

How do you not use their services when you're not the customer but the product?
What DRMed content not-purchased on iTunes can be played on the iPod?
It's not. It's even possible to put a Netscape plugin and an ActiveX control into the same DLL if you want to.
You can't charge sales tax in one state for business done in another state
A rose by any other name...
You can do the same thing with a signed Java Applet. OMG! Java is tightly integrated to the OS!

So the massive RIAA layoffs aren't happening?
irrelevant. It takes *ONE* person to do it and distribute the file. You missed the "and OCR it".
memory leaks are not a security issue.
Yes, they are. What happens to the program when it leaks all of the available memory space?
Must've been harder than usual. I would've expected it on Wednesday or Thursday of last week.
Take NeXT off that list. OS X *IS* NeXT.
4) What were these doing accessible on a net facing computer? You can't hack what's not there.
It's not what, it's who. A monopolist lives under different rules than a non-monopolist.
Or at least not copy protection. From the screenshots I've seen, this is nothing more than the standard signed executable failing.
It's a bug in Windows, it shouldn't have failed. The signature was pre-expiration, so it should keep working.
Can be and will be are two completely different things.

IIRC, the first one was "Final" because if it didn't succeed, the company was toast.

What's to say that the tech will remain optical?
