Huh? Someone wasted mod points on my post? I thought it was off-topic enough that it didn't deserve my karma bonus.
Anyway, much of it is legacy stuff. The TV card is a dedicated TV input card. And I could probably get rid of most of the HDDs if I actually bought a decent one instead of scrounging 20 gig drives.
Plus it's gotten to the point that it's taken on a live of it's own. It's rock solid and runs much faster than any comparable machine. As a matter of fact, it runs faster than some "new" machines I use that are 10 times the MHz. And it never complains about lack of memory. It's truly a wonderous beast.
Most of these demos are made for late gen video cards. And one of them really didn't like my dual monitors. Had both of my monitors vsyncing like mad. Not a good thing.
Recently, I ran a script against the mail server logs, testing what email addresses receive how much mail. And I was quite surprised to find a large number of hits for mailboxes that don't exist. For example:... 8 - diane@domain.com 2 - diane1@domain.com 2 - diane2@domain.com 2 - diane3@domain.com 2 - diane4@domain.com 2 - diane5@domain.com...
And also, such classics as jsmith@domain.com (and all numbers attached.)
Obviously, they can't afford to do this all of the time, but do it once, and use web bugs to track who opens the message, and boom. Instant verified email addresses.
Cases get filled, no matter how big they are. All it takes is time.
I've got a machine with 6 PCI slots, all filled, three ISA slots, all filled, three internal bays, all filled, two 3 1/2" bays, only one filled, five external bays, all filled. And I had to take out some things, namely the 5 1/4" drive and (later) the CD jukebox.
<sigh> I guess it's time to upgrade to a server case for my desktop machine. Either that, or do that spray foam thing. hrmmmm...

It is my understanding that the judge's decision would stand, but any appeal would take into account the new legal standing of the DMCA. And likely there would be an appeal, (assuming he won).
Well, it isn't quite a bug, but it comes pretty damn close. ASP (VBScript) doesn't handle SQL queries longer than 255 characters. link This is the only place I could find it referenced on the web. Lots of hair-pulling on this one. Still haven't fixed it, and any workarounds I can think of are extremely ugly, hairy and otherwise full of cruftiness.
I read their statement as, "If we're hired to audit some code, we won't report our findings publicly. If we independently audit some code, we will report our findings publicly." This seems to be perfectly reasonable to me.
Try Agent. I love it, but some people may consider not rendering HTML to be a problem. It has *never* crashed on me. Not once. It's immune to the latest Outlook virus of the week. It doesn't render HTML, so no "image bugs" (image tags in HTML emails to verify that you viewed the message). It's clean, and it's fast.
They exist. I've seen them at the local major computer retailers. They do, however, require special drivers. IOW, they don't boot. So, they aren't very useful.
MS, Yahoo, etc will probably just pay whatever they ask (within reason)...
It seems like a hollow threat to me. If India's ISPs block all of the major portals, then they will lose customers. The end users use the Internet to have access to content. If the Indian ISPs block the content, no more end user.
My favourite is when you come up with hack mode code that is so perfect that it can't be changed.
It's clear, it's concise, it makes perfect sense, but if you change anything, some strange border condition pops up and bites you in the ass. The only way to fix it while not in hack mode is to write a function that's ten times longer, to catch all of the special cases.
Don't bother reducing the brightness. Just generate the delta of the image from second to second. You'll probably end up something with lots of 0's. Next step, read in the bit stream we just generated two bits at a time. If the bits are 00 or 11, discard them. If the bits are 01, generate a 0. If the bits are 10, generate a 1.

I'd say its more analagous to an open window of the courthouse spewing court documents out onto the street. This guy unfortunately stooped down and picked one up.
Not only that, he had the gall to go to a local official, and show it to them! And they had to get someone to close the window. It took about 30 minutes to get in touch with the judge who had left his window open. That's... $100 of damage, assuming, on a wild guess, the judge costs taxpayers $200/hour.

Simple solution. Stick a crayon in your left eye. That'll fix things real good.

By definition, a script kiddie is not publishing exploits.

Ah, but does it handle recursive loops? ie. Package A v1.2 requires Package B, but package B requires Package A v0.9?
I've encountered that kind of thing way too frequently building stuff on Cygwin. Admittedly, RPMs are not the same as building from source.

Again, the idea is from Applied Cryptography.
