Yeah, That old web monkey article really nipped the whole XSS problem right in teh bud; No need to talk about XSS vulnerabilities any more - web monkey took care of that three years ago. Gavin Zuchlinski is such a n00b. He should find some more important vulnerability to write about, cause it's pretty obvious to all that XSS yesterday's news.
Back when my wife was in Insurance, she told me about some study on radar detectors that the company had done. Apparently the company had decided that they were going to put a surcharge on drivers that used radar detectors and they wanted some data to back it up.
Unfortunatly for them, it turned out that the drivers that used radar detectors were involved in fewer claims.
When they found that the data didn't support their position they quietly dropped the issue.
I've often wondered about the 'detector affect'. I think I've narrowed it down to one or two factors. Either the type of people that buy radar detectors are generally better drivers, or the beeping of the radar detectors causes the driver to be more aware of his surroundings. Or it may be a little bit of both.
No, actually I'm interested in this, and I've run into a wall on this kind of research in the past (when looking for international literacy rates).
Data from the 90's isn't that hard to find, but if you want more recent data, it just isn't out available. I don't know if it's a question of data taking time to analyse, or if GO's/NGO's just aren't publishing data that isn't favorable to their cause (I suspect it's mostly the former rather than the later).
SCO will say that GPLed code cannot be restricted by export controls, thus violates national security laws.
I've been thinking about this. The GPL say that I have to give source code to anyone that I give my object code to. If I am prevented by law from giving a person the object code, then I don't have to give them the source either.
I think his point was that the liberation of Iraq cost far more than the value of the oil in Iraq. In business terms, there just isn't enough return on investment to justify the action.
If cheap oil were the goal, the US would have much better off conquering Venezuela. The oil may be more expensive per barrel, but it's much closer so the costs of getting the oil to market would be much lower. Plus, such an action could not be seen as the initiation of a new crusade.
Even cheaper would be to allow drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife refuge. The US wouldn't have even had to invade anyone for that.
There was anice piece on NPR about this a few days ago.
OPEC is well aware of this and maintains the price of oil at the level it is in order to keep efficiencey down and to discourage research into alternate fuel sources.
you conldn't make a bomb out of it, but you could make a bomb and use the fuel rod as shrapnel(aka: a dirty bomb). Regardless of how dangerous the radiation hazard of such a bomb would be, the general populous would be copmpletely freaked out.
There is a simple trick that I use to avoid the slashdot effect. First step, use Mozilla. Second step, if you see that a site is slashdotted, try opening up in six or eight tabs at the same time. Odds are that one of them will go through. If one doesn't get through, try adding six or eight more tabs. Then go through and refresh them all. Eventually one of your requests will go through. at that point, close all the other tabs.
But thats only the first part. Now repeat the above procedure with each of the links on the page you just loaded. (better to get them preloaded in case you want to read them later).
A few things: The second ammendment does have a national defense component, it's just as much to protect Americans againt abuses of our own government.
America's voilent history didn't start after WWII. You've forgotten the Whiskey Rebellion, the war against the Barbary Pirates, the War of 1812, the Mexican War, The Civil War, the Spanish American War, several incursions into Mexico to catch Pancho Via. World War 1.
The US actually began preparing for WW2 a few years before Pearl Harbor.
The US was hardly minding it's own business before WW2. We had violated our neutrality by providing arms to England and had imposed a rubber and oil embargo against Japan.
I never thjought this would happen to me but, we had a nine drive RAID 5. We didn't need a nine drive array, but we didn't want any of the extra drives disappearing to midnight acquisitions (as drives on a shelf are want to do) so we slapped all of our spare drives into the array. The array was set up with five active drives and four drives in backup.
The Monday before The Big Demo(tm) I came into work. The RAID was in recovery mode - one of the drives had failed. That afternoon a second drive failed. Over the next two days THREE MORE drives failed. Sure I had backup tapes, so we didn't lose any data, but we lost three days me screwing around with purchasing trying to get replacement drives and build a new raid.
LESSON: Never build a RAID from drives from the same manufacturer. While consistancy is a nice thing, manufacturing defects suck.
Disclaimer: This happened a long time ago and I don't think I have all of the details right (I'm no longer a Sysadmin), but the jist of the story is correct.
I thought von Braun admited that he got his start in rocketry by going over Goddards patent applications. I could be wrong, It's been a long time since I studied rocketry.
Why the fuck are school children pledging allegience to the flag anyway. Why not pledge allegience to something that means something. Why not pledge to the the Constitution?

I may be making this up, but I think that the WASTE located on sourceforge is a from the ground re-write of the original.

The big secret is that itturns out that there IS a spoon!
That data is five years old. Do you have links to any more recent data?
And one of the two examples cited resulted in the release of no radiation.

Am I right? is that the way it works?
Don't forget to turn the activation mode from Automatic to Manual. Otherwise it will start back up when you reboot.

As someone who has been in both car and motorcycle accidents. I can tell you that I'll be sticking to cars - they are much less painful.

Isn't part of the back story of Gattica that it was illegal to use DNA, but everyone did it anyway.
