Alas, the law as it stands requires that if internet access is merely an "incidental feature of its main business activities" the company does not qualify as an "IP Address Provider", and thus the company is still liable, thought of that one a while back. Also if you don't issue public IP addresses you're not an IPAP (roll on ipv6!)
At least my crafty lawyers haven't found a way through it yet. Maybe soon.
Which is using hydrogen peroxide and potassium permanganate to drive them, just like the old German V2 rocket IIRC..
No it isn't! While that's true of the RD-117/RD-118 engines on the first stage and boosters the upper stage's RD-0110 uses its Kerosene and LOX to produce the hot gasses.
Because we've seen from history that most companies won't patch an exploit unless it's screaming at them, and that most exploits are picked up by people who wish actual harm on you before security researchers find them.
Hopefully this will force some device manufacturers to release 2.2 updates for their devices, and with any luck it'll teach them to stick with stock android rather than loading crapware.
they'd probably sell more. After my first semester I stopped buying textbooks and just photocopied the exercises as needed. Most textbooks were rubbish compared to the lectures and resources on the internet, so I didn't see the point.
I was also helped by most of my lecturers who thought the whole textbook market was a scam and just assigned their own exercises. We need more lecturers and professors like that.
Did you even read the summary? This isn't a patent case, and you can't patent words. This is a trademark case, and you are obliged to sue anyone who might infringe and let the courts decide if they do.
Wait, did that sign say _don't_ feed the trolls? Whoops.
The GPU, as it's normally on PCIe these days, has DMA capabilities. On most (all?) x86 systems DMA isn't restricted through an MMU, unlike CPU memory access. This means that by sending the correct commands to the GPU you can access any part of the system memory.
If this is possible in reality I have no idea, but that's the concept.
As this is an issue in Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader and you don't have either of them installed, you're not affected by this bug. It's very hard for software you don't have installed to cause problems.
There are other bugs in Flash though, they may cause problems, but this isn't one of them.
It's not present on Mac Safari, though the demo page does crash the Safari 3 Beta.
The main thing is how the URL handling works, under Windows Safari passes the URL to the Windows URL handler, which just finds the application and then dumps the rest on the command line, which gives many remote execution issues. Under MacOS the MacOS URL handler finds the application, and then dispatches an OpenURL AppleEvent (I think, similar to that anyway) towards the application, which then has the responsibility of parsing and loading the URL.
I'm guessing that the engineers didn't look too hard at how the OS deals with URLs and just assumed it would be safe.
Technically it can run on AA. There's no reason why not, other than the form factor. The current requirements can be sorted by chaining the batteries in the right order.
Since Belkin can do it I'd assume Apple can. They just don't want a half tonne ipod:P
Here in NZ I pay NZ$70, ~47USD for 256k/128k cable with a 10GB international transfer cap (local data is 1/10th the rate).
I have a static IP, no ports closed and even the ability to run servers without violating the TOS. They even changed the reverse DNS entry to my domain name;)
You do need a second service from the company, either TV or Telephone, but since their phone charges are cheaper than the only competition, I'm not complaining.
The NZ government recently got talked out of unbundeling the local loop. Damn penny-pinching bastards the Telecom NZ are.
I'm not vulnerable because Squid catches the URL and says 'NO! Bad!'. Using a proxy means the whole URL gets passed to the proxy, creating an error page.
What you need for the netatalk problem is an SLP implementation, I think OpenSLP is the best. netatalk compiled with this installed on the system and started with the scripts in the netatalk packages works like a charm:)
OT I know, but I just installed a linux server in a Mac environment. Note that you'll need to turn on Appletalk in the Directory Access app for this to work in OS X.
I am not aware of any NZ bank that fails to work with Mozilla. Victoria University's computer department works almost exclusively with NetBSD boxes running KDE3, and I have frequently accessed my National Bank account with Mozilla, none of my friends have problems with different banks either.
Pitty NZ fees are high (compared to the UK), but since I have a tertiary account I have no fees:)

Damnit, and here I was thinking I was finally in my right mind.
Yes, all those plane crashes caused by software bugs would be completely eliminated if left to human judgement!

I'm pretty sure it's just X crashing, have you tried SSHing in?
That's what I read as well...
Your Acorn A3000 held and executed most of the OS from ROM. When you don't have to copy from disk times are much faster.
So that's only my experience then?
And we wonder why software fails so often... You get the munchies, forget what you were doing, assume it must have been good because it seems to work!

Well that'll teach me for not reading the minutiae of hardware revisions :P

They thought they had it bad getting googled, now they're getting slashdotted as well! Lucky them.

Still, irritating bug.
