    I saw this report about a japanese CEO that rides a bus to work, eats the same food as the other staff and even decided a paycut for himself.

    This kind of legislation has to have some effect at some point. Bad exensive decisions will pay out in the long run... for the competition ;)

    Always think of your code as some sort of API if you care about clean, maintainable code

    while the US delays his trial until after he's disclosed his sources under torture

    poor guy. If the sources weren't stupid, they used anonymous submission and neither Assange nor anyone else at wikileaks knows the sources.
    Bradley Manning -- sadly -- was stupid enough to brag/chat about his leak. That's what got him arrested and possibly killed.
    Imagine a source just walking up to Assange saying: "Hi, I'm soandso, here's a dvd with some interesting stuff, but don't tell anyone you got it from me, right?". Pretty grotesque. There's guidlines on wikileaks.ch on how to submit using tor or postal.

    I have a Popcorn Hour A100 (old-school) that does it all except DTS audio... :\

    ? there's a software DTS decoder. comes with ffmpeg or mplayer, dunno which
    I've seen decompression problems with certain matroska files, though, that look like a DTS problem and cause a fallback to trying to use hwdts output. It's a shortcoming of the mkv-demuxer (used by default in mplayer since some time). If that's what you're experiencing, using -demuxer lavf should help.

    from the metasploit module code:

    Adobe CoolType SING Table "uniqueName" Stack Buffer Overflow',

    This module exploits a vulnerability in the Smart INdependent Glyplets (SING) table handling within versions 8.2.4 and 9.3.4 of Adobe Reader. Prior version are assumed to be vulnerable as well.

  24. Re:PDF on New Adobe PDF Zero-Day Under Attack · · Score: 1

    how do you know it's not a buffer overflow or something like that in the reader? No scripting or execution of anything required for that to work.
    I'm not saying they should have put all that shit into PDF, but not putting it in doesn't automatically make the reader secure.
