No, it does not patch Mozilla... but since Microsoft merged the browser into the OS, think of it more as a kernel patch for those running the Win32 version of Mozilla (grin)
As a side note, you could pool your connections and proxy a large user base (like through an app server) without having to purchase a client access license for each end user with 6.5. This changed in 7.+
Some times it saves cents rather than makes sense...
Real men pre-compile the JSP's into servlets so the users don't have to...
Innovate? Bah, I did not say that. What I did say was moving binaries is painful with server side Java, and even worse using JavaScript or VBScript. Try it some time, I had to last week....
I've spent way too much time coding C++ ISAPI filters and extentions, COM components, and ASP to say this sux d00d! Right tool, right job. Most of my personal time these days is spent building ATL COM components for the ARM...
I'll assume you are fresh to this web stuff - M$ or $un whore? Stuff evolves. My first CGI work was in C, followed by ISAPI and NSAPI, ASP, Servlets, and lately custom tags, XML, and yes -- JSP. The trick is to know when and why one is a better choice than another for a job. That, and making your resume fully buzz word compliant....
Sounds like this patch (assuming they actually fix it) that will be forced by the PR gods will fix an issue that I've struggled with. IE just ignores the blody HTTP header when it comes to mime type.
As a work-a-round, I've been adding a &whatever=foo.extention to trick IE 5+ into using the extention I need it to use. (Ugly if you need to return a PDF document from a JSP (or god help you) ASP page. I have a pretty good guess how this could be used by the forces of darkness.... never thought about "real" binarys before....
Tempting, but I have 4x256M sticks of non ecc DDR ram, a 400W ATX sparkle ps, and a 29160 SCSI controller already. Damn, that got cheap in a hurry - I think the SCSI controller was $200 last year alone!
I was sure you were linking to the new Tyan, which did not have the SCSI.... I was wrong! As a side note, I heard you can hack a PS to work on those - you just will not get 110V(?) to the video card - not that I can think of any (gaming) cards that need it.
I'm counting on a $150 price point myself... but I expect there to be some demand when they launch.
Life is about to get real interesting. The MPX chipsets - dual socket A support are rumored to hit the channel this week. While the tyan board had got a lot of positive press, I am really looking forward to having options from Abit, Asus, and a few others.
The original MP board needed a special power supply (due to the vid card specs) - but sounds like all the new boards will use a standard ATX PS. More important, there is a real good chance the price for the non-scsi variant might drop from ~200 to something closer to ~180 or 150 (hoping here...)
I know I have everything but the board, cpus, and heat sinks orded and waiting. Lets go!
Heck, even a long lan cable can fix you up on the throne - failing that a wireless kit - not that I would post to slashdot while doing that kind of thing...
Ya, ya... I'm scanning a box now because I had a shared drive that just popped up as being infected.
We use outlook - but mine was patched and I used the web client via mozilla to avoid the vbscript, IIS disabled and using something else for a local JSP/HTTP server. I thought I was being carefull, and I still got nailed by nimda anyhow...
Your drill only works for the first case. From there on out, it sends it to every one in the address book. I get a message from the CTO, rather than 1337hxrs@hotmail.com, that is a known source for me. Your lucky most email virus subjects lines are stupid too - unless the damn preview nails you anyhow. Ah, hell... even when I was practicing safe hex, the only thing left standing was my sunblade.
While this does not really stop the ads from using dhtml to hork around with your page, having most of the ads DNS name pointed to your own server with a light 404 or (nothing at all) goes a long way to making everything right in the world.
The box in question is a 486dx2/50 with 16M of RAM - which will still run Win95. At the time I gave it up as a doorstop, I set it up with Juno with the hope she would figure out that might be the best way to contact us. In 96-97, she was not ready for using a shutdown button, much less Pine...
She did get an ISP through the U when she started taking classes again, and Juno dropped 28.8 modem support. They had docs, an install cd, and handheld her setup. You can imagine my shock!
Your right, however. Last week my Mom either got hit with CHX? or the CMOS battery is dead and she is really not hitting F1. I will be tossing them a 700mhz duron when we return home this Christmas - pre-loaded with Netscape 6.2 mail client (I blame my spelling on genetics and this is a must for her - I'm reading the pspell and ispell info, but I'm not to the point where I could contribute code yet for Moz)
One of the kickers here is it uses your (outlook) contact list - this way when my Mom gets hit with one of these things, she mails all of my siblings the virus. Its an email from an expected source - thus the "social hack" that makes this thing work as well as it does...
To add insult to injury, she does not do anything but email. You think she knows about the mess that is out there or the little things called patches on the www thing? I use my Mom as a bar for the unwashed masses - these viri are never going to stop from user education...
Same thing as replacing a 3.5" floppy on an 486(?) era HP server box that had the funky curved pannel - you pay dearly - they wanted $300 for a 1.44M floppy! Course, a normal $14 floppy fit just fine in a 5.25" w/adapter. Looks like you really will have to think "out of the box" for any repair....
Having software that talks on a specific port is not too hard to deal with -- port 80, 8080, 1234123, whatever...
I've worked with stuff that required a range of ports (like thousands of them), which is what makes your IP people freak. Far more common than one would think.
I loved my old 28C when in school used my wife's 48G today! The very first app I installed on the Palm was a HP calculator emulator. Hand me a "normal" calculator and I fumble all over the place.
For me, the 48G was my first exposure to hacking hardware. They had port you could buy (not an option) or build an adaptor - and could use kermit to communicate with it.
Students today have no idea what they are missing when they pull out their TI...
The distro is what killed me. I wanted to use RedHat or Mandrake, so I never tried Suse.
I did get it to go 8.1.6 (I think) to work with RH 6.2 after working through a bunch of HOW-TO's. That took about a week intermixed with getting work done and a bit of UT....
Getting it to work on RH 7.0 (with updated GCC and other patches in RPM form) took about 3 (off peak) weeks - not much for docs at the time.
Tried to get 9i installed on RH 7.1 for a few hours, but had a deadline and a Solaris box this time... Solaris/Oracle worked like a dream.
I'll try RH 7.2 with a later build of Oracle when I hit a lull again. I would like to run everything locally on my laptop when I need to...
I'm struggling _now_ to get mozilla up and running on Solaris (sparc). I'm past adding gunzip and make, grabbing gcc now, and have the source to the gtk tool kit. Less painful then setting up Oracle on Linux, but still...
This is GREAT news for those of us (me) who are not use to "using the source" and working from scratch. If they are bundling Gnome, they will have the GTK toolkit installed too! Its hard enough for a Solaris newbie like me to get an app installed, much less this plumbing. I've really gotten spoiled by Linux distros -- a C compiler and all the other parts are usually just there.
Wish it was bundled in there now. That which does not kill us...
Unless, of course, they default everything to YES. We all know how Joe Sixpack changes the default anything...

Ah, not so.... My x86 boxes have SCSI and FireWire. Heck, check out the specs on this from a few days ago - note firewire - think drive for car, with the option to go personal...
If you use the cheap cables that came with some (a Belkin in my case) of the KVM's, you get ghosting. I run my boxes at 1600x1200 and had ghosting problems until I picked up some nice shielded video cables.
But have you looked at the price of the aluminum chassis? I did not see a listing on pricewatch for the one reviewed, but the older version is starting for about $200 w/o a power supply. I like a nice chassis like the next guy and the last year or so have used the Antec SX830/840 (about $50 w/o ps sx800) for smaller boxes, the SX1030/1040 (about $60 w/o ps sx1000), or a SuperMicro 760A (about $140, but includes nice ps). For $200, you start moving into solid rack mounting chassis (with a ps).
If your boxen is running too hot, start with the basics. Clean the clutter - round your cables, bundle wire, and have airflow (not to be confused with tons of fans just making noise). If you are carving blow holes or doing other mods, the steel in these cases are a lot easier to work with than aluminum. Ducting can help with hot spots as well.
Course, nothing says I have money to blow out of my ass like a shiny aluminum chassis.... there is that. A good 3U setup will bring the proper googling, however...
I'm not sure if I should make a snide PR rating comment about 2.45 gHz, or say we could push it up to 2.5 gHz if we could only up the voltage a bit....
