All versions of OpenSSH's sshd prior to 3.7.1 contain buffer
management errors. It is uncertain whether these errors are
potentially exploitable, however, we prefer to see bugs
fixed proactively.
OpenSSH 3.7 fixed one of these bugs.
OpenSSH 3.7.1 fixes more similar bugs.
Time to patch & upgrade for the second time today?
If you define "out there" to be America, then that statement isn't even self consistent - an overwhelming fraction of Americans vote for one party or the other. Counting Europe as "out there," I'd put the democrats roughly center, republicans obviously right.
I was thinking more of the range of viewpoints among everyone, not some weighted system - a single person who's ultra-ultra right would shift everyone else to the left, redefining the centre. I was thinking in academic terms... But I can see your point.
Just curious, would you put all Canada's parties to the left because they support public healthcare and the Kyoto accord (except for the Reform Party which favours a two-tiered health system and no Kyoto)? I'm asking because the balance these parties are trying to attain between market freedom and social services seems more "central" than the American Democrats. Of course, you've probably guessed by now that I'm not an American and I get my American politics through the news, so I could have the wrong impression of the Democrats.
Hey, me too (in most ways), but that's where center is.
The proper way to define 'center' would probably be to look at all the viewpoints out there and find a middle ground. Relative to the far-right and far-left wackos, you'll find that both American parties are to the right.
Of course, the 1-dimensional axis is hardly adequate for this. The political compass looks at a 2-dimensional classification with economic left/right and authoritarian/libertarian axes.
"We were cracked"? Haha. The English-speaking world has already declared your dated 'historically accurate' usage incorrect. Sorry. Find some other way to be elite.
If your decentralized solar panel is just efficient enough that you can cover your costs, you've won. I could understand your argument if people were pushing for small diesel generators or something else constantly polluting (as opposed to one time polluters like solar panels).
Because 128 kbps MP3s sound a lot better than tapes. You can also seek through them at random, play them at the click of a button. Plus, you have access to millions of them for zero effort and you never have to "swap" with anyone or even chat with, let along know, anyone you're downloading from. I'm all for downloading MP3s, but please don't make the good side look like idiots by comparing them to taped recordings.
Visual C++ (as well as everything earlier including Microsoft C and their old DOS compiler Quick C) were once Lattice C. Historical note, Lattice used to be one of the "big name" DOS compilers (the others were Borland and Watcom)

I guess I was rightfully smacked down for that. Thanks for the clarification, all.

Oops
char buffer[100 + 1] = "";
So basically you allocated this nice 101 char buffer on the stack and then overwrote your pointer with a pointer to the constant "".
char x[5];/* x, of type char[], points to 5 chars on the stack */
x = "hello";/* oops. now x points to "hello" which is in a string table somewhere */
I'm normally no MS-apologist (actually Sybase apologist in this case; SQL Server is a fork of Sybase 4.2) but this makes sense to me:
Conversions are done automatically between compatible data types. However, if you try to INSERT 'blah' where the column is an int for example, you will get an error.
It makes things easier on the client software because the quoting rules are the same for all data types. If you're building a list of values for an INSERT or a stored proc call, you can just quote every value.
Besides, a database isn't enforcing 'proper datatypes' by requiring quoting for half the data types (char, varchar, text, etc) and not for the rest (bit, int, float, etc). This isn't C -- there's no string/int storage difference; the whole query is a string.
It's really not that dumb. Maybe I want a clean, cold beverage that doesn't contain nasty sugar or carbonation. And I can reuse the bottles and fill up at home if I know I'm going to want a drink in advance. I think pop drinkers are dumb because they're paying the same price as bottled water, but their beverage has crap mixed in with it.
And it makes sense too. Obviously they had no use for that land. Besides, all land was "stolen" from someone at some point. Since there's a limited amount of land out there, the defend it-or lose it idea makes sense.

You've never heard of GNU Radio, have you?
We're doing just fine with our healthcare system, thanks. Do they send out anti-public healthcare propaganda in the US, or something?

"The Code Book" is the light version. Heavier volumes include "Applied Cryptography".
I'm not trying to be elitist here. "The Code Book" really is an easy read. It was designed to be.
...says the man posting to slashdot from work.
smbfs is a kernel module.
But can you glance at the edges of the bills in your wallet and tell how much you have?
It sends the same interrupt as any other keypress/key combination, so technically all keypresses are handled by the kernel.
As for "won't pass on to userspace", that depends on the OS, and "special hardware interrupt", you're full of shit.

Nobody said that. What kind of argument are you trying to make?
And having a good business model (not pandering to requests for an "internet strategy) is the best way to make a ROI for your investors.
That kind of thing would never be put to a vote.

The rest of your example seems OK.

Wrong. I'm sorry, there's no way 60 SUVs pollute more than a single bus. Of course, I could be wrong. Please post supporting references.

AES is a block cipher, not an encrypted file format.
In cases like this, the security problems usually lie in the implementation, not the algorithm.
