I don't understand why people automatically assume that DVD+-R/RWs are prone to the same problem. The recordable layer in these disks is buried in plastic. It's NOT on the surface. There's no oxygen coming to it, so in theory DVD+-R/RWs should be a heck of a lot less prone to "rot".
Can anybody tell me why GMail stopped working with Firefox 9.2 last week? It says that it doesn't support javascript for some reason and doesn't show my mail. It does work fine in IE 6, though.
Zero configuration, free as in beer VoIP application with UPnP support built-in. Works pretty well. I've saved hundreds of dollars with it on international calls.
Bits and pieces of Windows are developed in India, China, USA and god knows where else. On top of that any large software company employs LOTS and LOTS of foreign nationals who can just as easily sabotage the code from over here if they're smart enough to push their stuff unnoticed through code reviews.
The issue here is that defense institutions should be reviewing every piece of code they're running. This can be prohibitively expensive and long process, but if they want security, that's the only way. That's possible with any OS they run, because they can have whatever source code they want, proprietary or not, in exchange for those fat, nice military contracts.
Unices were SO proprietary back in the day Microsoft is a child's play in comparison. Ever heard of FreeBSD and a lawsuit against them? UNIX systems used to cost a heck of a lot, and the entire UNIX world was thoroughly licensed and lawyer-infested. On top of that UNIX companies used to fight each other and pull "embrace and extend" thing when on the surface the system would remain POSIX compatible, but to use its advanced features you'd have to sell your soul to the devil and go entirely incompatible with everything else.
MS entered server market precisely because of this situation. It was a low cost, no hassle alternative to UNIX that was good enough for small and medium businesses.

Why is this a fact? They've been doing a lot of things RIGHT lately if you didn't notice..NET Framework, WinXP SP2, Win2K3... They just keep cranking it out all the time.
I wasn't impressed with GMail's spam filtering. I've tried sending emails to myself from Hotmail and it looks like everything coming from hotmail is identified as spam. Heck, even I can write a spam filter that filters out everything from Hotmail.:)
Senate passed an addendum to PATRIOT act forbidding Coca Cola and other soft drink companies from selling canned soda. Glass containers are still allowed.
Patents are like nuclear weapons. There are a few countries in the world already that can destroy the planet Earth as we know and love it. They don't do this. Why? Because they know it's a stupid thing to do, and other countries will retaliate.
If they start enforcing software patents en masse, I bet the next day there will be five dozen Eolas-like companies who have patented something primitive and stupid. Not to mention IBM with their GIANT portfolio who may decide to give Microsoft a hard time, big time.
Printf won't result in an exploit. strlen, however, can indirectly contribute to this. That's why strsafe.h in Windows deprecates strlen as well as other dangerous functions.
Your string may not be zero terminated. In this case strlen will return an arbitrary string length which may fuck up some of your code down the road (especially if you use other "pound me in the ass" functions). Your printf can easily screw things up if its format string is user defined. The worst offenders are gets and sprintf, though. These two functions need to be removed from C library.:0)
You know why RHAT fell so hard? Because I bought a few shares just a few weeks ago. Whatever stock I buy, the behavior is the same - it goes down the drain really quickly.
Now if RHAT pays me a million bucks I'll dump the stock and their problems may go away. Or they may not.

in second Netcraft tests? Hmmm. Cycle for cycle Windows beat the crap out of Apache/Linux.
Cleaning the cache fixed it. Thank you!

two screens are a bad idea? How can this possibly improve the gameplay? I can only see one screen at a time anyway.
PC to PC. That's what VoIP is. Ability to talk PC to phone is gravy you pay money for.
In which versions, exactly? I'm running 6.2, and I use VoIP every day to communicate with folks in Europe.

Who uses printf, strlen, gets, and other "pound me in the ass with buffer overrun" functions.
And everyone knows it. Why make such a clown out of yourself?

I have one of these and it smokes everything else in their review.
doesn't mean it's a good thing to do. "Amateur" Linux 3D market is so minuscule, writing and GPLing a driver will never pay off.
