A non trivial formula, you mean. Otherwise the following applies:
The problem involves tricking Windows into processing unsafe code built into a Web page or e-mail message...
Microsoft said customers could manually adjust settings hidden deep within its Internet Explorer browsing software to prevent Windows from processing the dangerous code. Experts, however, said that was not easy to do for many users and that it would cripple convenient functions for many popular Web sites.
IOW, it's Yet Another Java 'Sploit; turn off ActiveX and Javascript [or just not use IE] and you're safe(er).
As far as crippling 'convenient functions'... I don't know who calls pop-ups, Flash ads, or other common webpage uses of Java/ActiveX convenient.

Nice, but I actually find the shares convenient at times. For instance, suppose I've taken my computer to my friend's house. I've got some mp3s he wants to play, but alas I have brought only my headphones. I could get up and go all the way over to my computer, but instead I can just open \\mycomputer\D$ and enter the password when it asks. No need to point out security implications.
So set up a share for your mp3s, set only to that directory, marked remote read only. Just as easy when it's done and much more secure.
Downloaded fine, installed a little choppy (had to manually kill the decompression process before I could run the setup.exe), went into the game.
The game runs extremely choppy on my machine* and sound is muffled. Just to add insult to injury, it no longer looks for a music CD in the drive. So much for Music to Carjack To.:(

It exploits redundancy in the i386 instruction set by defining sets of functionally equivalent instructions.
Can someone explain to me exactly what this means? Will all i386 executable binaries have unnecessary redundancy? Could the size of the binary be harmlessly reduced by removing it? If so, then why isn't this done?
You're confusing redundancy in the program (extra instructions executed) with redundancy in the instruction set (extra instructions available).
The i386 set has add and subtract instructions where only one is strictly needed. From what I've read, this tool works by changing a sub 50 to an add -50, taking advantage of this. (Or a add 30 to sub -30.)
The problem is, no person or complier would write code this way unless they had a particular reason to. Such as hiding something.

God bless lyrics pages.
You mean "cat > index.html"
> I agree with you that if [you're] working in a large group then yes you should comment your code but this was a personal project I was working on.
And six months later, will you remember without comments?
A year?
Five years?
Comments are for anyone else who has to work on your code. Even your future self.

Which Nero? I have 5.5.9.17 and it burned flawlessly on a cheapo IDE AOpen -RW.

It does.

A non trivial formula, you mean. Otherwise the following applies:

One is for what looks like YA Java 'sploit. Two are for the IIS/2K vuln.
