oh, I already got infected with the./configure step Malware did not install as root, did not need to. Just took all my thunderbird adresses and mailed all my contacts to try this awesome software.
this is my linux, stock Xubuntu, works perfectly, just the random freeze on standby. Before last update it was freezing when changing WiFi settings. Now it freezes, about every 4th time, when I close the lid. Have fun: https://twitter.com/GunstickUL... Now how do I do a bug report with this? There is no debugging output nowhere. Just a flashing LED.
How long until mexcian drug cartells manage to capture a drone and repurpose it for their own drug delivery. Like in the movie Intersteallar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?... Who used delivery drones first? Amazon? UPS? No, it's the drug dealers:-)
Surprised nobody has mentioned it. There are several solutions using X11 to split a virutal screen among slave PCs E.g. XbigX http://www.x-software.com/en/p...
I'm happy with pinta. It does what the photo viewers do not provide and has all typical tools you would expect in a simple paint program. http://pinta-project.com/ It is not meant as a photoshop but as MSpaint alternative
on X11 most security dialogs are grabbing keyboard, which should disable any input except the mouse and keyboard from interacting with the window. So that makes it impossible to send keypresses to security dialogs.
in linux it's horribly easy. The keystore is not locked if your are logged in (i.e. screensaver is off). So a simple 3 lines script is enough to read all your passwords. This bug has been signalled multiple times. I never store my passwords in the keystore.
see my other post. Every wrongly DMCA should cost $1 and the next one double the previous. How many URLs are in this list? 2^n can be quickly very large.
I reiterate my demand that for every company every wrongly created DMCA notice should cost the double of the previous one. Starting at $1 And cost is down half by every day passed without screw up.
As this DMCA contains a lot of videos, for the same day the cost will be: $1+$2+$4+$8+$16+$32+$64.... we quickly get into the billions.... That would force such companies to first check what they do before doing a DMCA for "THE" or "BOOK"
They still can create one bad takedown per day. That is 365 idiot claims per year per company without it costing them more than $1
They actually attach weapons to drones, and kill people with that. Still nobody thought it would be a nice idea to have any law around this concept, stating that army is ok, police not, and private not at all.
I just tried in google. so I get complete.tool ans similar stuff So I quoted the query like this: > Could not find function foo in "com.lete.ool" And I get exactly one match: this slashdot article!
It gets you *almost* back to the pre-Google+ days, when they took away the "+" sign as a search modifier.
Ah, seems google has only one + They took it away from search to be able to use it for Google+ As Google+ is not really that success, mybe bring the + back to the search. That would be neat. Or buy a second +, please!
30 years ago, the Atari just got in my nerves by crashing programs through divide by zero. So I finally replaced the exception handler with a simple RTE. The problematic program did not crash anymore. And also had no misbehavior, so that was fine for me. The next program might behave differently:-)
Yea, standard rule. Maybe the plane was in test? So not production. So no need to follow that rule? Well ok, a test plane is still running in production as far as avionics goes, even if it's still in testing! And if you have 4 systems in your test environment, there's a reason. You *don't* update all of them, or 3/4 of them. But half! And I guess, with 2 engines, the plane could have been saved. I'm a sysadmin, and I blame the sysadmin as the cause of the catastrophe.
Replacing all windows7 installs by new windows7 installs will for sure remove the possibility of the same malware hitting again. DOH! Maybe change platform. There are 2 other OS to consider, MacOS and Linux.
An important organization should always have 2 completely different platforms. Not only 2 different browsers on the same OS, but different OS. And by different I don't mean a Microsoft-different who state the XP is not NT and is not Win7. It's all windows! Same goes for Linux, where redhat or debian is not different, it stays Linux. Sunos may be different.
Slashdot Mirror
when will they finally go metric?
Also slashdot, a quite international website.

Like, not at all. Still cannot manage standby/sleep issues. Just crashes.

Well that sounds like something serious... LOL
Who else has a browser warning when trying to click the link?

Did they specify a timeframe how long it has to take to break the crypto?
If not, well, any crypto is breakable given infinite amount of time.
Which makes the law effectively useless as nothing changes.
it was a so real vulnerability that the winRAR author set it into a WONTFIX. And he's right.

From TFA: "downgrading Java to one of the older versions is not a good idea because they are vulnerable to other attacks"
well, which attacks, and are they not patched?

strt hatari, freeze
vnc into the box, freeze
fullscreen vlc freeze, reboot
use lots of browsers the same time, freeze, crash, logout, reboot
Oh well, works perfectly.
