All these people talking about how he's doing this on an unpatched windows install. Complaining he should update.
The story is not about a browser. The story is about the scum companies that make money using exploits to install their crap. If the money trail is followed and the companies profiting from this got their asses handed to them this wouldn't be near as much of a problem.
His example was exactly that, an example of how many nasty things are willing to exploit you, regardless if it succeeds or not.
The ut2004 64bit build is unstable as hell. Yes there is one, but few folks use it because it crashes all the time. Esspecially the 64bit server. Check the icculus.org mailing list archives.
8500DV I bought off ebay to make a freevo box from. Apparently the fglrx driver has a breakpoint so any opengl app fails. On top of that neither the tv in or tv out work. This card is useless to me.
I was trying to hook up a fan to my new mobo. I wouldn't reach from where I wanted it mounted to where it needed to plug into the boardso I was playing with rewiring it AND testing my wiring while the machine was running. I accidentally crossed some wires and it shutdown the machine...and threw a breaker. The machine booted fine afterwards though, after I reset the breaker.
I was so scared in that time since it was a brand new board.
I started using slackware on version 8.0. Slack taught me how to use linux, not how to use redhat, or suse, or [whatever]. Slackware is elegant, simple, straightforward, linux. I can easily walk through the startup files and find out what is going on without bouncing between 30 files. It does not attempt to hold your hand to much. It reminds me of walking through a park with a good friend instead of walking through the park with my mother, which is how many distros seem to treat the newbie now.
I now use fedora on my desktop, Suse for my webserver and slackware for my firewall. If any one of these machines give me any shit I fall back to my slackware learned roots and fix the problem.
Slackware gave me the basics, now I can use any distro and beat it into submission when it acts up.
The time, it is to be hoped, is gone by, when any defence would be necessary of the "liberty of the press"', wrote John Stuart Mill nearly 150 years ago. But his hopes have not been fulfilled. In the vast digital land of cyberspace, private companies regulate, eliminate and censor what we want to say, publish or communicate.
As part of a recent research project, I posted a section of Mill's On Liberty on the internet (which is clearly in the public domain), then issued unfounded copyright complaints against it (1). One internet service provider (ISP) removed the chapter almost immediately. This illustrates the problem with self-censorship procedures, which rely on hidden judgements being made by unaccountable bodies.
There is a murky context behind this peculiar form of private censorship. On the internet, millions of websites have been created by individuals who post all kinds of content - and some argue that this justifies the current system of regulation. But there is a mistake in this chain of logic: just because the internet is big, diverse, decentralised and digital it isn't true that public bodies can't police it.
Of course, policing would be difficult, but this should not be a reason to be in favour of private governance and regulation. Governments, companies and individuals have taken the easy route to regulation, by relying on ISPs. Everyone who wants to publish, post and propagate content on the internet needs the services of ISPs, which host most of the content available on the World Wide Web and are often also hosting providers. This is why ISPs have been identified as the agents in the internet's communication chain who should be responsible for removing illegal and harmful materials, ranging from copyright infringement to cases of defamation, racist websites and pornographic content.
ISPs have been made responsible for removing illegal and harmful content under so-called notice and take down (NTD) procedures, once they have been put on notice by a complainant. Because it comes under the rubric of internet self-regulation, this kind of censorship is seen as less intrusive. But why private governance should be less intrusive than government regulation is something I have never quite understood. State censorship, while clearly problematic, is at least open to questioning and accountability. Notice and takedown is censorship without debate.
The quantity of complaints and websites removed under NTD is unknown, and the process by which ISPs determine whether or not a website contains illegal or harmful content remains obscure. Once an ISP disables access to a website the content disappears from the internet, undoubtedly an effective form of censorship.
My research project attempted to unpick the workings of NTD, using a method termed the 'mystery shopper'. This consisted of a complaint to an ISP about alleged copyright infringement on a website that actually contained perfectly legal material. One website was set up with one of the most established US ISPs, and another with a major UK-based ISP. The identity of the person who uploaded the site was fictitious.
For symbolic reasons, the material uploaded was chapter two of On Liberty, in which Mill discussed the freedom of the press and the dangers of censorship. This content is clearly in the public domain, because it was published in 1869, and subsequently its posting does not constitute any form of copyright infringement.
The UK ISP took Mill down almost immediately The US ISP followed up on the dubious complaint, made on behalf of the chairman of the non-existent John Stuart Mill Heritage Foundation, with detailed questions. But the UK ISP took the site down almost immediately, effectively censoring legal content without investigation.
ISPs are acting as judge, jury and private investigator at the same time. They not only have to make a judgement whether a website is illegal or not - they also have to act as a private detective agency, investigating the accusations and deciding
you dont need a book! just keep screwinging stuff up then fixing it. you'll learn alot. Like the time I accidentally deleted/dev/null, now I know how to use mknod.
have fun, break stuff , and learn the hands on way.
I run fedora core 1 and I use X. I use fluxbox as my window manager and I ussually have a few mozilla windows ( mozilla, not firefox ) konqueror, xchat xmms or mplayer.
I have 640MB RAM in this machine. 415MB is cache right now. I barely touch my ram and could probably do without it MOST the time. Then there are those few times where your system would slow to a crawl without swap.
A no swap system can be done if the memory usage is a known constant, otherwise leave some room for yourself.
I have cingular and my mom has sprint. I live about 1/4 mile from lambert airport (STL) here in St Louis. Neither of us can get a decent signal here. In my computer room, where I spend most my time ( suprise suprise! ) I cannot even get a signal. Anyone know if the airport is the reason why my signal sucks or is it just a fluke?
Me and my girlfriend drove down to New Orleans and I had a better signal in the middle of nowhere in Mississippi than I do in my own home in a midsized city!
until the MPAA/RIAA just point out that it's your name on the bill therefore it's your ass getting the lawsuit. If you intentionally leave your network open to all then you are responcible for what happens.
On that same note, if some spammer used your node to send out 1000000 emails I'll be hunting you down with my trusty LART.

Especially since spamassassin takes points off for those numbers.;)

Why would you use an emulator when you can have the real thing?
Because I cant play this in those terminals!
