Any real admin will simply mitigate the issue away until a patch can be tested and installed. Real sysadmins don't have retarded knee jerk reactions to exploits.
Devil's Advocate: You can't mitigate what you don't know about. See also the (semi-)infamous WPF bug.
Military classified material are formed and protected to prevent both discovery of vulnerabilities, and to prevent discovery of new advances or knowledge of technology, intelligence, and so forth. revelation of such can have a very high probability of endangering lives and civilian security.
This Windows bug is, well, the result of deficiency, nothing more. The worst that can happen? Well, if someone were both a flaming dumbass and exposed a SCADA box unprotected to the Internet, while simultaneously surfing the web or downloading random/untrusted bits to said box. But then, that flaming dumbass is the problem more than the bug.
To be fair, iOS isn't "OSX" as Mac users know it on the desktop side of things either (you need the iOS emulator in Xcode to run an iOS app on a OSX environment).
All joking aside, I should add a PS: It's been 7 years since we met.
It's like any other marriage, really... you still have to work at it. You still have to wake up next to her. You still have to debate, argue, compromise, and most importantly? In spite of my peking on a laptop and her messing about on an iPad 3 feet away, you still have to get along in real life.
Online is just one of many ways to meet someone initially... it still takes a shitload of work to make it work.
IMHO? I spite of the rather adventurous life we've led together since (both for good and ill), it's still worth it.:)
I met my missus online while farting around online. We spent the first few hours together in a chat at an online forum, tossing sarcasm at a TV documentary on love while it was being broadcast. Found out she lived across town... long story short, we wound up married a little over a year later.
It is amazing how you can not only assess her intelligence, but it's easier to be yourself when you're not distracted by deep green eyes and a gravity-defying bustline.
Isn't there a statute of limitations for charges that don't involve murder? There would be otherwise if there were no arrest, which is why I'm asking.
Also, did you talk to the DA without a lawyer? I would suspect that there is some provision, or that you could sue to get the charges dropped considering the circumstances.
Finally? Damned glad I live in Oregon... dude, that's just raw.
It's one thing to have a group of top-end devs in one room. It's another to get them to play nice with each other. Not even talking about egos, per se... the ability to drop assumptions and actually start asking the other devs what they're up to is something that requires more than just knowing syntax and process to the nth degree.
I haven't had a driver's license since about 1994, I still drive almost daily, I have insurance on my cars and they function just fine. I do have an ID card that has my picture on it, (I do still sometimes get carded at some pubs or when buying smokes) however that card has very old data on it. I have been pulled over, but presenting my ID card and insurance has been more than sufficient for the officer.
...and you're saying that in all this time, no police officer that pulls you over has ever, *ever* cited you for having an expired license that's nearly 20 years out-of-date?
If this necessary evil were fairly and evenly enforced, everyone making over $x would pay the same percentage of tax on income, with no loopholes. That way Joe Ghetto pays nothing on his meager poverty-line income, Joe Sixpack eats a 25%** cut of his middle-class income (no mortgage/child-care credits, etc), and Joe Caviar would dole out 25%** of his massive income (no trusts, shell companies, overseas banks accounts, etc.)
This would damned sure get folks to pay attention, and maybe they'd start screaming at their congresscritters over every errant dime the government spends.
** 25% is just an arbitrary number. Make it whatever # is needed to keep the government running.
Err, wait - why simulate something you've already done before, ad-nauseum? It's not like they're trying out some new and unproven technology here, or even a different set of use cases...
Barring any massive stupidity, Venezuela will likely clean itself up once Chavez croaks - give it a decade or so at the most, rate his health has been.
IMO our society has a ridiculous fixation on sports.
The good news is, once you figure out that sports == crap, and ignore it? It frees up a metric ton of time and money for the stuff that's actually fun to do.
OTOH, I think it's not the fact that we have made-up conflicts as entertainment, but the fact that the conflicts themselves *are* the entertainment. Dress it up all you like, but people love to see conflict (and more importantly, love to see the realization of victory from that conflict, even if by proxy). That's what drives movies, books, TV shows (not just the "reality" flavor, either), and, well, you-name-it.
Gotta give props to the Romans, though... even though their ideas of public entertainment were bloody and brutal (and often deadly), they didn't try and dress it up much.
I think GP was talking about depositing the whole price into escrow, until the house was turned over in good order and no major defects have been found or suchlike.
No idea why, though - usually you get possession the day you close, and you're allowed to make all the third-party home inspections that you can afford (and the seller will then have to either fix what's found, or you can back out of the deal and keep your earnest money if you or your agent is even halfway competent when it comes to making the earnest money deposit).

Ditto what AC said - speak for yourself - my missus is (finally!) using an iPad, which is about all she ever really needs for what she does online.
The only Windows machinery left in my house are all on VMs that I control personally (they're usually off).

Either way, bad analogy... sorta.

True, but the same condition exists for Android (at least for now), no?
To be fair, iOS isn't "OSX" as Mac users know it on the desktop side of things either (you need the iOS emulator in Xcode to run an iOS app on a OSX environment).
Good thing I did it the traditional / free way. I would have felt ripped off it was no better ;P
(Note: I love my wife very much. I just have a twisted sense of humor.)
Lots of places you can meet for free, even for dating.

I can agree to that.

Small questions here:

Top it off with giving marketing the ability to speak in those standup meetings, and you have one hell of a recipe for fail...
You're both right.

Gay Marriage is supported voluntary AT FIRST!!! But soon everyone will be required to support gay marriage.
FTFY.

What state/country do you live in?
I have friends with no cell phones, and plenty with no automobiles.
...and are therefore dependent on the local infrastructure, cannot travel anywhere, etc. Makes them very easy to track and catch if needs be.
It's those mobile mofos that need to be kept tabs on.
I did, then I imagined a huge cluster of janitors needed to clean up the resulting mess in the Men's Room.

Unfortunately, where I live authorities don't even try catching them, mainly because they're all the same.
...do you mean the same cheaters, or that the authorities and the cheats are one and the same? Because out here, it's the latter.
Err, wait - why simulate something you've already done before, ad-nauseum? It's not like they're trying out some new and unproven technology here, or even a different set of use cases...
You pretty much nailed it.
Oftentimes the government wants to upgrade just for the sake of upgrading, in spite of the older tech working just fine.

Italicize wheat?
Well, wheat is pretty important in making pasta, and Italy is pretty well-known for their - aww, forget it.
Sheeit, boy! Back in the day, we had to issue:
dweeb@old-ass-distro$~ tar rootkit-0.0.99.tar.gz && cd rootkit-0.0.99.tar.gz && sudo configure && make && make install
Nah - go for eCom Station - *nobody* uses that shit anymore, and you can dust off those ancient OS/2 skills!
