However, AIM users would have to click on the URL to trigger the vulnerability, which will make it harder for malicious hackers or virus writers to use it in automated attacks, Weinstein said.
Correct me if I'm wrong but this sounds to me like the user has to click something and it isn't automated.... therefore, once again it is stupid users, not software!
That's exactly how I am! Never did the home row thing. I can now type around 130wpm if I really put my mind to it. I use only a few of the figures.. and again I don't think the teachers ever noticed... what's odd is.. I wonder if people can actually type faster when they don't use their full 10 fingers? Are we teaching our kids to type wrong?
I also type VERY incorrectly... but have won several typing contests at our local college, and have been clocked at 130wpm... again.. no typing classes, just learning over time.
Some situations where stored procedures can be particularly useful:
* When multiple client applications are written in different languages or work on different platforms, but need to perform the same database operations.
* When security is paramount. Banks, for example, use stored procedures for all common operations. This provides a consistent and secure environment, and procedures can ensure that each operation is properly logged. In such a setup, applications and users would not get any access to the database tables directly, but can only execute specific stored procedures.
Stored procedures can provide improved performance because less information needs to be sent between the server and the client. The tradeoff is that this does increase the load on the database server system because more of the work is done on the server side and less is done on the client (application) side. Consider this if many client machines (such as Web servers) are serviced by only one or a few database servers.
Stored procedures should ONLY be used for sensative data such as in a bank environment, where information should not be passed to the database (such as usernames/passwords/account info etc) but rather the database server should run it. Otherwise the proccessing should be done on the app side!
There is NO REASON for the database server to be doing proccesing.. it's a database server!!
As far as I'm concerened they should be! When you are drunk and you are behind a wheel that's no different then walking into my house and pulling a trigger.. you are JUST as irresponsible.
Er... I install OpenOffice on all machines that I format for friends. Much better then that junk WordPerfuncted... or whatever it is. One of them once said to me (I was at his house), what is this? I said "it's word, or like it anyway, works just like it". Within a matter of minutes he was using is happily, even shortcuts which he told me are "just like Microsoft Office" so he could use them very easily. Sorry but "open office doesn't work the same as microsoft office" just doesn't cut it.
See if I care.... I believe when you signed the TOS (for most ISPs) you agreed to some clause which said you agree to not let others use your account (except maybe in your immediate family) and you agree to be held responsible for any actions that are done through your account.. correct me if I'm wrong but did that spammer NOT come through your account? ok thought so.. bye bye housewife you just violated the AUP/TOS.
I see nothing wrong with this. You are paying the provider to use their mail server. You are storing your mail on THEIR machines. It is THEIR machine they may do whatever they like with it. It's like when you rent a house, the landlord may come by at any point and perform an inspection of the property. It is a private network. Likewise they are completely within their bounds to block mail from say all of AOL or EARTHLINK. Customers may not like it, but it's a PRIVATE NETWORK that you have payed for access to.
Right that's I guess what I ment... you can't drill a hole in the wall to mount it. But if it doesn't damage the property then.. well he shouldn't have a say. But then, is it wrong to issue a no candles policy in student housing???
So how do you figure that your landlord is allowed to tell you not to have pets, or that you can't get an antenna mounted to the side of your house for wireless internet service from your local ISP (we've had this happen at work several times.. the landlord said.. no way.. you can't put that thing on the house!)
Landlord can also say.. no holes in the house. No nails in the rooms, etc. He still owns the house. You can go find elsewhere to rent if you don't like the rules. But the landlord can tell you whatever he pleases, it's his house!
Just like when you are on MY network you won't be running Kazaa!
I'm not sure why this is a good thing. If the Massport (people who own and run the airport) want to prohbit the use of other wireless access points in their buildings they should be able to. It's private property. Now if they are prohibiting the use of access points just in random areas where their signals are reaching but they don't own, that's bad. But if they own the house, I see no reason why they can't dictate who runs what in the house.

Woops, my apologies!
Ummm cordless phones do/can run on 900mhz! Please make sure you know of what you speak before you speak!
I don't look at the keys at all, and yes that amount of 130wpm is correct.

Should have added that I use about 7 fingers not 10 :)

Uhh no... Verizon does not pay for text messages.. they are like mail... I (as the ISP) do not pay for e-mail sent to my customers..
What's wrong with this? Some UNIX systems are case sensative about e-mail and johndoe is NOT the same as JohnDoe@domain.com
wacked out.. wonder how that happened?

Precicely how is this off topic when the thread was about no software ever being bug free?
Oh? :: QMAIL
Let's try
As far as I know QMAIL is bug free.. and has been for a very long time.
Just curious.. where did you get your information about it being legally covered for 1 year?
Sure.. if it's a postcard they can read it.
Postcard == regular e-mail
Sealed letter == encrypted e-mail.

I've got a 2000 Saturn and get around 39MPG. I also do not eat breakfast and have a neighbor with a grey cat :)
