I would also like to add that if you or anybody you know is ever sued by Lee Kaplan or his questionable affiliates, you should contact a lawyer immediately to explore any and all available options. The earlier the better. Some ideas you might want to look into: (1) countersuing in an amount that is sufficient enough to move the case out of small claims court (greater than $7,500 in California) and/or (2) removing the case to federal court on the grounds of a first-amendment defense.
Looks like things would have gone better if he hadn't made some legal mistakes.
Yes, I've got this problem on my Vista install at work. Clicking the little spider icon to report the bug crashes the program.
Mini-review of Safari on my home Vista install: The non-standard Windows UI is annoying. If I wanted to resize only from the bottom right corner I would have bought a Mac. The lack of an advertisement blocker makes the software a poor alternative to Firefox. The bundling is annoying. I don't want Quicktime. Quicktime is ugly, ugly software. It makes Firefox crash, grabs all sorts of MIME types, throws its icon up on the desktop every time it updates no matter how many times you delete the icon, it installs a systray icon (for a media player?!? come on), and it won't play full screen videos. ITunes is only a good media player if you own a Ipod. Don't want that either. The Apple update service is annoying as well. Why a separate service? I want my apps to check for updates when I start them or not at all.
Good points? Well, Safari displays web pages, I guess. Good for Apple.
You have a lot of trouble reading. The statement "it affects 5 and 6" is flat out wrong. Also, security advisories are not the same as remote exploits.
You are inserting words that aren't there. You would be right if he had said "since the release of version 5." But he didn't say that. He said "since version 5."
So, no, I'm not the one who needs English lessons.
You think I'm making it up? Well, I can prove it with logs:

sages. run sealert -l 918e1f4a-e9d6-4703-8b36-29d2a444339a
And I didn't even notice this until just now when I was greping the log:

Joy, it looks like SELinux sent some of my mail to oblivion.
Sure, I've come to the conclusion that that's the only way to use SELinux if you're going to. But Red Hat documentation doesn't suggest that method of administering your server. Also, notice how yum gives no warning about SELinux being on when you use it to install packages? SELinux is always there to bite you, even if you're following all of Red Hat's system administration guidelines. It's not worth the aggravation.
I've never run an RHEL server for more than 24 hours without experiencing an SELinux problem. Every new release, the same story.
Just the other day, I tried to install "rt" on a brand new RHEL 5 box for a demo (we're looking into new ticket systems). I found that "yum install mysql-server" hung forever. Same with the apache install. It turns out the SELinux thinks that useradd being run by the mysql rpm (to add user "mysql") was trying to attack/dev/random. So SELinux blocks reads to/dev/random and useradd hangs which makes yum hang. And yum is one process that I sure don't want to kill.
This wasn't a hacked up RHEL box or anything. I had installed it that morning.
There were suggested fixes in my logs, but they did not work. My solution? Disable SELinux. It's just not ready for prime-time. Or production environments.
He's been following it since the rumor first surfaced. Imagine how the LHC folks will feel if this turns out to be accurate. Billions spent to search for a particle that is found before their collider is even complete.
It wasn't a good idea to post this story, Zonk. Beware the wrath of iPhone fans.
I wrote about my xv6700 Windows Mobile smart phone -- which has most if not all of the features of an iPhone -- in an earlier post, and was modded down as a troll by the fanatics.
Do handicapped mothers not download Kazaa or something? The RIAA seems to have dropped this case because of bad PR, not because she was innocent so far as I can see.
My xv6700 can already play mp3s, browse Google maps, take notes, record videos, etc. And it can do things that the iPhone can't: run custom apps, like Putty, so I can ssh into Linux boxes at work or at home. The iPhone may be better at some of these things. Although Apple-designed user interfaces aren't all that they're cracked up to be, I can easily imagine a UI that beats Windows Mobile on a phone.
Honestly though, with laptops at $500 nowadays, there isn't much reason for these kinds of devices. The level of hype about the iPhone device is hugely overblown, more than for most Mac products.
This is not an issue of http versus https. The only way for Firefox add-on updates to be secure, or any software updates to be secure for that matter, is for the software to make sure that the update code has been signed by the developer before installing the update. This is software updating 101. Impossible to spoof without the developer's private key.
Interesting. What was the recidivism rate at your facility? The one I worked at (for violent youths) kept theirs low by only tracking the patients for sixth months after treatment.

Yes I consider it a legal mistake. Not contacting a lawyer is the most basic legal mistake there is.
Looks like things would have gone better if he hadn't made some legal mistakes.
I'm sorry that I was not able to praise Apple and all things Mac as much as you would have liked me to.
I chose to download Safari without it. It annoyed me that I had to choose.

Yeah, it's not like anyone could just connect to their trackers and get the IP addresses of nearly everybody else in the swarm.
You're fast with the graphic homosexual imagery. Copy and pasted from the article:
I repeat, learn to read.

That was a hole in version 5. Please try again. The question was: "Have there been any since version 5?"
How exactly does the free market go about fixing limited duration government granted monopolies (a.k.a. patents)?
Huh? Source?
That was the first thing I tried.

Whoa, lighten up. Did you catch your wife in fucking another man (your boss, I assume) in your kitchen today? You're bringing the rest of us down.
