You don't take it with you to the bathroom do you?
Of course I do! That's what WiFi is for. Much more convenient then sitting down with a magazine and realising you've picked up last weeks issue that you've already read.
It could also be that whoever wrote this worm found the vulnerability independently and had been writing code to exploit it, when he saw the security advisory go up he released it ASAP before people had a chance to patch their boxes. If the vulnerability hadn't been announced the worm may have been released later with a different payload.
hink of it along the lines of IE and HTML; if you don't want to close your tags, say your table td and tr tags, it's fine, the IE browser will do it for you.
According to the HTML 4.01 spec </td> and </tr> tags are optional. So you can code a standards compliant page without them, as long as you declare your doctype properly.
Being a cluster you would think they'd be upgrading them one server at a time, and they'd pretty quickly notice that the first server they tried to upgrade wasn't working. They could just take that one server out of the cluster until it was fixed.
They proabably rolled a change out to all servers via SMS (not the text messaging protocol) and couldn't back it out:)
ow wait a sec...how is it that they can force me to be creative and efficient? How do they think something like this could ever work? Anyone they draft will just make copious subtle errors until they get canned. E.g. "Ooops, I forgot to check authentication when listening on that port...it was only supposed to be commented out during testing."
They're just asking you do to your part for your country. If you don't like it feel free to renounce your citizenship and try and find one elsewhere. There's no need to deliberately sabotage your country's defence force.

And if you wrote the application using PEAR... then it would take 5 seconds.
You're making the assumption that your SQL would still work with the new RDBMS. Unless your app is just "SELECT * FROM Wherever" your SQL is more that likely going to need to change.
And if your SQL is "SELECT * FROM Wherever" then MySQL is probably good enough for what you're doing anyway:)
Sure, you'd just all need to check-out the files to a shared "working directory". Only problem with that is someone else could edit the file while you are or check out a fresh copy over the top of your un-committed dev version. I suppose you could set the permissions on the files you check out so that only you can write them, but then if you're off sick and someone needs to edit it they'd be screwed.
Alternatively, you could all have your (separate) working directories as virtual servers under one web server?
A lot of Mindstorms stuff is built with standard, albeit Technics, bricks (and gears, axles, etc). I'd still consider those traditional components, Technics has been around since 1977.
Why don't you try the Designer Help which comes with your Notes Designer Client? That pretty much contains everything you need to know when building Notes apps. It's in the "help" folder under your data directory.
From what little I understand of the patent, those mechanics at least include characters diving away from oncoming vehicles instead of going "splat" and a big floating arrow pointing the player toward a destination.
What the fuck?! Midtown Madness had these things. I can't be bothered to do any research as to which was first, but if it was Crazy Taxi wouldn't they be trying to sue Microsoft too?
I hate companies that have to resort to bullshit to make money, they can't just do the hard work and put out decent products that people want.
You see, the point of these campaigns Acclaim does, and especially their promotion of them before their fact, is that they get more publicity than by just running the campaign. Even if they never actually go ahead with the bus shelter campaign the game, their brand, etc, is all out in the media.. and FOR FREE!
Not to mention the Surfers Paradise IndyCar race every year where they close off some of the streets in the centre Surfers Paradise (Queensland, Australia) to run an IndyCar race as well as a Touring Car race (which is vaguely normal cars).
Also the Melbourne F1 Grand Prix, where they close off public streets in Albert Park to do the same thing (F1s + Touring Cars).
Plenty of examples of this kind of racing already happening in Australia, not to mention availability of those tracks in IndyCar and F1 games.
Vaguely related, what's the reliability like on xbox hard drives? This is one of the things that put me off buying one, what I can do if the hard drive gives out 2 years down the track. This is also why i'd never buy a used xbox, who knows what the last person did with it - they could have dropped it a few times for all I know and the hard drive could be on it's last legs.
I suppose realistically there's as much chance of the optical drive dying as the hard drive, but I've got a CD-ROM drive that I got in the early 90s that still works fine, but hard drives from that era are starting to give up.
I recently flew Lauda to Europe from Australia, on one of their 777s, and they had exactly this as part of the entertainment system. There was a channel that was a "pointing down" camera and one that was a "Pilots Eye" view.
The downwards pointing one would have been a lot cooler if it was a bit more wide angle, and the pilots eye was kinda useless most of the time since in cruise the nose is usually angled slightly upwards, so all you could see was sky.
However, when coming in to land the nose cam was very cool, especially coming in to a windy Vienna and seeing the whole view skewed by about 5-10 degrees as the pilot had to yaw the plane to correct for crosswind.
Both cameras had the downside that they weren't very high quality (both resolution and image quality) and so didn't cope well with low ambient light levels.. landing was cool at night though, because you could see just the runway lights.
The.mov file linked to by the tag is just a "container" mov that points to different movs depending on your quicktime version. If you do a strings con this file you should see a whole bunch of URLs, one of which is the full movie. For Apple trailers though you can just stick an 'm' in front of the resolution in the container filename (as someone mentioned in another thread) as that is the name of the actual video file.
What would be cool is a totally free form GTA game, where instead of there being a story as such you start of with nothing (I suppose similar to the others) but you can basically make your own way to 0wning the city, by taking over various neighbourhoods, hiring gangs to patrol your areas, getting involved in turf wars etc.
This would also present the opportunity for multiplayer where, say, you and a friend start at either end of the town and slowly build up your empire while trying to undermine / take over the other guy. You could even do it co-op, where you have 2 per side so one of you could handle running the operation while the other runs covert ops against the other side.
Anyway, I think there's lots of possiblity for something like this.. maybe include a few cities with the time you save on not having to do all the scripted mission stuff.. maybe a random city generator? It wouldn't be as nice as a hand created city but you could still get something quite reasonable.
Well, I suppose this definitively proves that/. readers actually do RTFA. When they can.
You'll find that most people RTFA, these however aren't the same people that read/post comments - as according to what the/. crew tell us occasionaly a relatively small percentage read comments, and an even smaller percentage post.

P.S. Why can't someone just write an MSXML 3.0 -compatable data island extension for FF?
:) Isn't that the standard response around here.. "If you don't like it, you can go to Russia".
If you need it, why don't you?
In the same vein as the "Etherkiller": Take an extension cord, lop off the socket end, attach 3.5mm headphone jack.
;)
I'll leave the rest to your imagination

That's because it's threaded.. TO THE MAX!

Pretty good marketing, really.

Yeah, that'd be a game i'd play
I did a 'strings' on that EXE and saw this:
NtVdm : Using Yoda on an x86 may be hazardous to your systems' health
. As it happened, I got the most incredible sunset image I've taken yet.
A bit off topic, but do you have an URL where this image can be viewed?
