Yes: "In the same way that IE is not bevulnerable to call a DLL on the Desktop, unless it is downloaded with Safari - IOW very much so?" in English is "In the same way that IE is not bevulnerable to call a DLL on the Desktop, unless it is downloaded with Safari - IOW very much so?" Did that help you?
I'm a little confused too, but my understanding coming away from reading the article is that Safari is still required to execute the exploit and that if a user had Firefox but not Safari on their computer, they would not be vulnerable at all. In the same way that IE is not be vulnerable to call a DLL on the Desktop, unless it is downloaded with Safari - IOW very much so?
For the nth time - Safari tags its downloads (from XP SP2 on), so if you get fooled into trying to run notIE, Windows will tell you it was downloaded from the internet - and if you'll ignore that, you'll also ignore it when Firefox asks you if you actually want to download "Firefox.exe".
Unfortunately, this would imply that there is a problem with an OSS piece of software (which will quickly be fixed). Which is why it wasn't reported as such on/. Let me get this straight - vulnerabilities in OSS don't need to get reported to the public, because they will get fixed quickly, so nobody will be vulnerable even before they actually update to the fixed version?
And, let's face it, if they hadn't put in that last sentence about memory, the Z3 would fit that description.
And if your aunt had testicles, she would fit the description of "uncle."
Jeez, people, read the synopsis: the first three words are "Stored program computers." The Z3 was not a stored-program computer.
So it made up it's program? The program was stored on punched film. Unlike the Colossus and the ENIAC also mentioned in the article, which needed rewiring to reprogram.
And before you try to nitpick your way out of it, it says "stored", not "memorized". Blame the submitter for not picking conditions to qualify for "modern computer" as well as the article: "the first to contain memory which could store a program"
Zuse's machine didn't have memory, which is part of how they're defining "modern computer." Who is "they"? If you mean "the authors of the article" - well, the actual quote is:
"It was the earliest machine that was a computer, in the sense of what everyone today understands a computer to be," explained Chris Burton of the Computer Conservation Society (CCS).
"It was a single piece of hardware which could perform any application depending on what program you put in."
The key to this ability was its memory, built from a cathode ray tube (CRT), which could be used to store a program.
And, let's face it, if they hadn't put in that last sentence about memory, the Z3 would fit that description.
Says the guy who already swore that nobody could destroy even one of his three points. I won't waste my time with some ass who just claims things as fact that can easily be proven wrong. It is obviously your duty to prove your own words right.
Which brings up two other points. Whose idea was it to download to the desktop anyway?? Firefox? That's been the default download folder for, well, ever.
And BOOOOOOM, Windows will warn you that you are trying to run software downloaded from the Internet. Well, if you click through that, you'll also click through "Do you really really really want to download Firefox.exe".
And in the case of this specific exploit, I am sure that a number of newbie Apple users would happily tap in "osascript -e 'tell app "ARDAgent" to do shell script "whoami"'" into their computers purely because "Jim The Friendly Computer Support Engineer" told them to do it. Suuure, it would be so easy to tell a "newbie Apple user" to go to Applications/Utilities/, start "Terminal" and then type something. I have a hunch it would be way easier to just tell them (or a newbie Linux user) to download "Malware.app/rpm" and simply run it. When you can social engineer somebody, don't make it too fucking complicated just to prove a stupid point - or he might just ignore you.
$89K is not a high salary in this day in age...it is middle class...medium-low end of it really. The median household income for the U.S. as of 2006 was $48000. The median individual income was $26000. But the median income is pretty much the definition of the lower bound for the American middle class income. Middle class is not the middle third of the population, but the upper half minus the 1% rich.

What really kills Mac gaming is that they put Intel graphics cards in all their line except high-end. And now, iPhones? This is ridiculous. The iPhone is to have more graphics power than MacBooks? Now that's brutally ass-raping customers. So the iMac is high-end - good to hear. And who said the iPhone would have more graphics power than MacBooks? All it needs is more than other cell phones used to play Java games. Here's a hint: look at the Stevenote, where they demo some games - no way they come close to even the MacBooks, but other cell phone games; well, you be the judge.

You keep lying, nobody needs to prove you wrong.

What, you mean if I kill some service Windows will stop beabling at me about "do you really want to run this program you just downloaded"? Do tell!
Just turn it into a DLL, or so it seems.And BOOOOOOM, Windows will warn you that you are trying to run software downloaded from the Internet. Well, if you click through that, you'll also click through "Do you really really really want to download Firefox.exe".
If Microsoft at least actually used the Attachment Execution Service they introduced in XP SP2 to check all kinds of executables.
And I thought this thread would wander off into a Global Warming flame-fest - instead you open the door to a Evolution thread.
But anyway, thanks for pointing out how complicated installing software on Linux is.

After about 20 seconds waiting:
23:47: execution error: ARDAgent got an error: Connection is invalid. (-609)
I'm so not impressed.

A semi full of improvised ANFO should do the same.
You can't even hide an irradiated cat on an interstate, what makes you think you can hide an unshielded nuclear bomb?
