  1. How to fix PostNuke on PHP Blogging Apps Open to XML-RPC Exploits · · Score: 1

    It is recommended that all admins deactivate and remove the 'xmlrpc' module within administration-modules and additionaly remove /xmlrpc.php and and the /modules/xmlrpc folder completly from the filesystem.
    The PostNuke CMS Development Team highly recommends to *not* use the xml rpc library until the maintainers [1] provide a secure solution. Once an updated version is available a modularized version will be provided for download as an additional module.
    Note: The upcoming .760 release will not contain the xml rpc library.

    +4 Insightful? For fsck's sake.

    We are not "going backwards", it is simply that stupid theories and ideas (as well as good ones!) are more readily available these days, via the Internet and mass media.

    I'm sure there were just as many crackpot theories back in Einstein's day.

  3. Re:The Wise Words of Chairman Yang on Human Animal Hybrid Created in Lab · · Score: 1

    No evidence of the metaphysical? Then explain to me this:

    What is 'quantity'? Can I experience it? Can I touch it? Smell it? Hear it? See it? Taste it? There is no empirical test that can prove that "two" exists, for example. I have a concept of the number two, and an understanding of numbers, but the meaning I associate with it is entirely conceptual. Concepts are metaphysical. Meanings are metaphysical.


    I shall attempt it. "Quantity", "two" and any other human concept are labels for symbols in our brains, those symbols are physical entities (ie. electrical current through the neurons within our brains). The labels themselves are also physical entities (as pointers in computers are also comprised of bits). The concept of "two" may be communicated between brains, but each brain has its own representation of the concept which at it's base representation is a bunch of physical cells.

    These "entities" are hard to pinpoint exactly, as in which neurons represent which concepts, or whether concepts are represented by the patterns of neurons firing and not individual or groups of neurons themselves. However, that does not disprove that they are still physical objects in the universe and therefore not metaphysical.
