if you have other apps with problems, please post about them below.
Interestingly enough, apps that use the old Verisign certificate and that didn't have visible problems today are also to be considered broken. Those apps have a much bigger problems that the apps that broke today. Those apps should have failed today. The fact that they didn't proves that their certificate checking logic is buggy and shows that they are actually prone to attack. Those applications are much less secure than the ones that broke today. Actually, the apps that broke today didn't actually break. They were the only ones to behave correctly.
On the contrary. If you want to save this country, you should make vote mandatory, so that dumb asses who never care to vote will have to chose a party. This most certainly will be an extreme left, extreme-right or alternative party so that they could tell the Republicans and the Democrats that they don't care about how they both have been doing politics so far.
So, a third (or fourth) party shows up with mucho mucho votes. Now, that would finally break the stupid particracy in this country where people have to choose between light blue (Democrats) and dark blue (Republicans). Honnestly, the White House full of Democrats or full of Republicans, what kind of choice is that? Democracy should be a mix. The Democrats (or the Republicans) should be forced to reach an alliance with smaller parties to obtain 51% of the votes. Then we can get some democratic debate with some watchdogs now inside the White House (the greens watching what the light/dark blue suits do, and the blue suits watching the greens).
Come on. The President, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State, the Attorney General and the Vice-President are all from the same party. What kind of fucked up democratic system is that? Are we really talking about the US or some African dictatorship ?
Because I am forced to connect to a 4-year old version of MS Exchange that is administered by thick-heads who refuse to setup pop3 or imap. And this version of MS Exchange is not supported by Ximian connector either.
Yeah, like low ID people do care about Karma. Yeah, riiiight.
Only new comers or slashdotters who have major desillusions about this site care about Karma.
Yeah, sometimes the language is tricky, though not for me in that particular case.
Another example that always pissed me off is that stupid calculus problem where Paul has 100 coins and John is supposed to have twice more coins than Paul. My gut feeling is that, since John has twice (200 coins) more (+) coins than Paul (100 coins), then John should have (=) 300 coins alltogether. However, my teachers always disagreed with my logic and said that John is only supposed to have 200 coins (twice 100 coins). Hell, even the various official computer tests that I had to go through took 200 as the right answer. That really pissed me off, since there was no way I could argue with the preprogrammed tests and I had to suck it up and answer 200 instead of 300 to get the right points.
It's refreshing to read some space odyssee report that is not full of state propaganda and overblown optimism. After reading the article, I felt like that we were probably going to lose Beagle, but also, I actually felt really excited about the mission. I care. Good journalism and insider reporting! Thank you, BBC.

And they should probably also have added:
12. Securing the Application Server
13. Securing the JVM and the ClassLoader
14. Securing the Operating System (or at least, the File System)
Because if I add to attack a J2EE application, I would do (14), (13) and then (12). If that doesn't work, I would go straight to (10) or to the database. So, maybe they should also have added:
15. Securing the JDBC driver properties and the Database
Overall, this is another Java book that I will not buy.
Some people did. I remember a couple of my college friends got together to finance a $1,000 CD burner that they shared amongs each other. That was back in 1996.
I believe Sun has been adding friendly cut-and-paste to their own Evolution version. Let's see if Ximian wants to integrate those changes back into the main product.
The main purpose of this release is, of course, to gather as much
testing as possible from users.
So is Evolution 1.5 a development release? Are they following the same numbering scheme as the Linux kernel? So does that mean that if I am not in a testing mood, I should rather wait for 1.6?
Two words: Brand awareness.
Java(TM) is now heavily marketed as a brand and Sun does everything it can to make sure the average Joe know it exists, even if he doesn't know what it is. Don't believe me? Check this up: www.java.com.
That's why MD5 is more of a checksum algorithm than a digital signature one.
If you want a more secure hashing algorithm, use SHA-1 or any other algorithm designed for cryptographique usage, not simply checksum!
It's less about mistyping than it is about luring you to click on a link that, at first glance, you would think is legit, such as http://www.paypal.com.
Not as bad as DNS hijacking, but very similar outcome for the untrained eye.
Everytime I have to click on a link that takes me to Paypal, American Express, my bank's web site, my broker, etc..., I make sure the URL is not spoofed. Unless there is a referer id you need to reuse in the link that is presented to you, it is always better to go to your familiar sites via bookmarks.
No, no, you are missing the forest for the trees, my friend.
If SCO loses the lawsuit and stop operations and support for Unixware, then by all means you should prepare a plan to move to Linux since it has been legally proven that it is a legit OS. So, yes, preparing a plan to move from Unixware to Linux is a very good idea. But executing on it before the lawsuit is over is not.
Thank you, DrObvious. My dog who was reading over my shoulder (actually chasing the mouse pointer) had missed the joke.
And he tells me to mention that you snif funny too.

Stop fighting. The solutions for the two of you is jython.
Maybe the US troops in Iraq should come back to liberate this country.
High School level debugging would have been more something like:

- "hello2"
- "hello2"
- "hello2"
- "value of i is : "

The disadvantage (or is it an advantage?) of this method is that IE is now useless to surf the Web. You will need to install and use another browser.
