I think this would work better if it were more granular than simply versioning the DLL. Perhaps when DLLs are initially loaded on a system it could diff the individual functions to find differences, and then provide these individual functions to programs which use different versions from those already installed.
No, that's mozilla. One of the attributed reasons for the failure of mozilla is that it's widely called spaghetti code. Yes mozilla is a great browser and it works, but it's too little too late, and apparently it's codebase is hell to figure out.
How many times has this been on slashdot? Been around since 95, slashdot seems to repost things about three days since the original post... I'd say atleast a dozen, maybe even 30-40 times.
Pretty much because everyone has accepted Winamp3 as a failure. It's slow, it's interface sucks. About the only cool thing it does it play videos... woooooohooooooo oh wow, look I've got Windows Media Player installed for just that.
Funny how when MS does this we cry foul and suspect them of violating 30 different UN sanctions and our bill of rights. But when some geeky dweebs do it, we're sure as hell down with that.
I know that physical access makes a machine vulnerable in most cases. But that is because people don't password their bootloader, don't password their bios and disable boot disks.
Take these precautions and you can be fairly secure with physical access. Add an encrypted file system so that if someone steals your hard disk you are safe. Then padlock the PC.
Those are reasonable steps for a Linux machine (and I may have missed some, please let me know if i did). Now with a windows xp machine it looks like you also need to disable cdrom access. An unreasonable step.
No, simply password the bios. You need to boot from the cd.
Last time I used Linux I caught the GPL disease. I swear, once you're infected it's worse than herpes. You go around trying to spread it to everyone else who has no interest in it what so ever. You turn every message on every message board into a platform from which to plant your vectors of infection. You even start renaming things, GNU/Toilet, GNU/TV, GNU/Toaster/GNU/Oven, etc.
Lucky for me I had a big bottle of Clue (tm) and a healthy sized tube of Reality (tm) on my desk and I used it to rid myself of this horrid disease.
To anyone who's read their advisories in the past this comes as no surprise. Gobbles's sole motivator here is to draw attention. From their security advisories that sound as if they're written by a third grader, to their advisories posted in comic form on their highly deceptive website www.bugtraq.org I've seen little from them that demands respect.
Besides, if they were working with RIAA, wouldn't the RIAA also have paid them a few bucks to secure their site? If they have, wow, bang up job so far.

This is not a new version of FreeBSD. This is an update to a port. However you can expect FreeBSD 4.8 to be released in the coming week.
"Yet another case of AMD being one-up on Intel."
Did I miss something? When was the first time? Oh, and how is this one up? Centrino anyone? 4-7hrs battery life...

If you find it on Slashdot, it's bogus.

hoorah for gpl... sorta like herpes, eh?
Either that or get a faster computer. :p
Welcome to slashdot. You're obviously new here or you've just not been paying attention, would you like a tour?
nevermind, looks like irc.microbsd.net still works, my mistake.
Not anymore:
%nslookup irc.microbsd.com
Server: resolve01.roc.ny.frontiernet.net
Address: 66.133.170.2
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: irc.microbsd.com
Address: 127.0.0.1
That should be "Bios's Days Are Numbered."

I don't know if you were implying it or not, but it seems some folks have figured out how to use a DV camcorder to store data. :)

That just means you'll have to return to IRC! Traitor!
Did I say Mitnik [sic] was a script kiddie? No; I said he was poster boy for script kiddies.
I'd like to thank slashdot for inflating the egos of script kiddies everywhere and giving them a role model. Way to go!

No, once this blows over it's time to apply the fucking patch. It's been available for six months mind you.
I managed to get a free copy of freebsd thanks to my status as a journalist, however I was sadly disappointed by this product.
Wow, sucks to be me. I guess I'll just have to become a journalist in order to try this out. Is it just me or does this parent smell of BS?
So what happens when the mod_ssl bug gets exploited and some 11 year old prick in South Dakota is running the thing?
I was referring to the RIAA site which has now been hacked three (four?) times.
