How about emails that incriminate Jason, Jesus, or Denton that they did in fact know that the phone was stolen when they paid for it? That's a felony right there.
They do deserve some credit. It will also be an example in the future when those higher-up than me make a statement like, "Why should we use this open source thing, who will pay when they mess-up?" I'll just be holding my head in my hands again then I guess because this plus support are the two biggest bullet points that kill open source year after year on projects.
Using google I was able to get the original post (it's pretty worthless, I think it linked to a podcast):
When arriving from Google, a hacked website will redirect to http://www2.burnvirusnow34.xorg.pl/. The good news is this attack appears to be based only on your actual files not your database. That's relatively easy to clean up. In GoDaddy you should be able to revert to an old version of your files (Go to April 23rd or before and you should be fine)
That one was likely different. In that earlier one the interesting bit was the use of a cookie. So you would only be redirected one time (if the cookie was not there).
That's not terrible at all. It makes much more sense than the single case where ppc executes that instruction. I call that consistent. If it bugs you so much just put a nop after every jump. I bet you loved using or instead of mov and that r0 was in fact 0 as well but that small set of instructions with a simple pipeline and large set of registers where only a handful dealt with memory pretty much defines MIPS and how it was pleasant compared to x86.
Except that it isn't as fast. Every time I look at what g++ did with objdump I see extra copies all over the place and code for dealing with a potential exception added. You really have to be a guru of C++ to avoid all the extra copying that happens and put the nothrows where needed. The reason I looked is someone compiled some C code to C++ to get the function overloading and then added just a smidgen of C++ism to the code (do it the C++ way not the C way he thought). Then our benchmarks were suddenly 5% slower.
I used to program the dragonball, for Palm and a prototype console (not game, more like TTY with with pull-out keyboard, knob, and touch pad) that never got finished. It was a SoC that also had the frame buffer, memory controller, interrupt controller, touchpad IO, and a bunch of extra IO all on one package. It was very cool at the time but the later ARM stuff blew it away. For low MIPS low Watt applications it was king for about 5 years though.
That's funny since I got the HP50 since my 48G went wonky and started eating batteries like crazy. I have had my 50 for at least two years and even when I have used it all week at work I have not drained the batteries. Maybe I have changed the batteries 6 times or so, but that is a guess.
I think they did it this year with Schedule-L. Wasn't that like do the 1040, take the standard withholding (so no Schedule-A and it's supporting forms) and then modify the amount of your withholding for certain simple things. Actually I guess that is not right, it would be something like this:
1040EZ 1040 1040 + Schedule-L 1040 + Schedule-A
I don't think that the 1040 is all that more difficult than the EZ id you do not need any of the other schedules.
I agree the article writer is a moron. I thought you might appreciate this though. I have a newer HP calculator. Since HP years ago laid-off all of the calculator division, no one was left when they made the HP50. An outside group put that one together. It has an ARM and uses an emulator to run much of the old Saturn software from the HP48. It seems to run just as long on a set of batteries as my 48S and 48G did, and it is incredibly faster running the old stuff.
I thought back in 8.6 or so they replaced find with sherlock and it was hyped as the next big search thing and even let you search the web. There were even plugins for it. That idea failed and failed big time. Who ever wrote this story lives in some fantasy world.
People this is reversi, it can be done in a js file, two gifs, and some divs in one evening, and more portably too. This is some marketing hack doing what he does.
mdb, the solaris modular debugger, that's what I will miss the most, it's not a product (comes with solaris) but there just is no open source equivalent. People that tell you otherwise have never run into a problem that was too much for truss or dtrace but one where gdb simply did not work or got in the way.
I have this setup at work. It is firefox 3.0.x on FreeBSD 6.2. I also see that brief screen about the screen reader and then it quickly goes to the familiar classic page. It does not loop endlessly like it does for you. I have had trouble like this before with my banking site where I had a cookie that would trip it up. The easiest thing to do to check if it is something of that sort is to create a new blank firefox profile and try it in that to see if it is such a problem. Then if it works, you can use the cookie manager to remove cookies until you have nuked the troublesome one. For that one I allow session cookies, but on exit/start I clean them all anyway. Maybe you need to be more permissive? Again I use CookieMonster, so I do not believe that the about:config settings are really used. Good luck.
I second this. I see exactly this with PDF files routinely. I have simply uninstalled acrobat (aka adobe reader) on all on the Windows machines at this point and use SumatraPDF instead. It is only a matter of time until they start using zero-day exploits.

That sounds a lot like what my 7 year old told me when I found the $20 bill that used to be in my wallet in her room, ie a bunch of baloney.

I don't have much of a sense of humor, but that's funny! Did you make that yourself? It was clever.

This may be referring to the same attack:

Regarding MIPS, those have gone completely stagnant for like 5 years. Nothing new embedded has been using those for a while.
What if they tripled the Apple software prices and used that revenue to fund the development for Linux versions.
I have never heard of zoolib before, does it support printing in a platform independent manner? That is a biggie for me.

I don't like staring at bright snow, neither do I like staring at many white windows. Drop shadows are simply annoying for me, not an enhancement.

In the preview I did not catch that the backslash escape was lost on the question mark, you get the idea though.
