I think you are confused as to what this is doing. How the malware initially got loaded onto the *NIX box is not discussed in the write-up. The malware does not break out of the browser's sandbox and obtain root privileges. The malware is used to add/change the file being served by the web server. There is no mention of what file the malware was being used to serve up...it could be used just to transparently serve up ads or could be used to serve up some client-side exploits.
Your post has absolutely zero factual basis to it. Physical separation is a major psychological factor when deciding to 'pull the trigger.' Try reading "On Killing" by Dave Grossman, an excellent book that points out the reasons why distance makes it easier to kill.
I'm sick of reading all these comments about how horrible it is that Dell isn't going to include the proprietary codecs to play DVDs or mp3. It's not completely legal to do so now without paying a license fee. And if Dell did pay a licensing fee to include, people would be complaining about why it costs just as much as Windows does. And besides, it is VERY easy to look up instructions on how to add the capability to play those codecs online, and most people that care enough to specifically order a Linux Dell, are already going to know how to do this.
Is there really any proof that 'the cough' is caused by the oil plant, besides 'the locals' saying it is?
Oh wait, I mean, Bill Gates is horrible and Windows sux0rz.
All the ICP fans I know are huge fans care very deeply about humanitarian relief efforts in Sudan.
(Oh shit, is that funny because ICP fans don't care about that, or because there are no ICP fans?)
The office software is called Ability and will just be branded as Tesco. More information about Ability here. The website lists their entire office suite at a cost of $70 (US). The individual packages (Word processing, spreadsheet, database, paint, presentation, photo album) are available for $27.90 each. 20 Pounds = $37 so that's considerable savings. The interface is appears to be a straight clone of Microsoft's office suite. It is able to open and save to Microsoft Office formats, no idea on how well, tho.
Leave now and threaten to sue him if he doesn't pay you. He can't not pay you if you don't find a replacement. Since you have already found another job, it doesn't much matter if you leave on good or bad terms.
Are these going to be used in conjuction? It would be very nice to be able to sort out those pages that have nothing but a long list of keywords on them. It's probably all in vain, as somehow will sooner or later find a way to get around this, as well.
Project Prometheus has recently started a new web page (under JPL)
Wow. Am I the only one that thought the JPL must be some license agreement like the GPL, and the wondered why the hell a web page needed to be released with a special license? Jet Propulsion Labratory
I don't get his point. Of course there are going to be some errors within the spreadsheets. Does this mean people are actually losing money because of it? The benefit that they provide far outweighs its disadvantage.
Actually, the thread doesn't say he is using several warez programs. They say he is using ONE warez program. Plus, some guy saying the installer he used was warezed, doesn't really make it true.
I could see how this would be very confusing for most people. What one of the redirectors does, is actually load the normal bank page from the bank's server, and then load a pop up with a form to submit private details from the phisher's server. The site is down, so I can't check it, but I would imagine that the pop up window is made so that the Address bar is not showing and people can't easily see that it is a bad URL.
Gordon Haff, a senior analyst and IT adviser at Illuminata, said business value should be the main concern in transitioning to an open-source environment.
"The decision-making for the state or local or federal government could be essentially the same as for a corporation," Haff said. "Does it save money when all the costs [are] taken into account? And that includes conversion costs, retraining costs, perhaps costs of getting and writing or converting software that doesn't run on an open-source platform."
That's a very good point. OpenOffice is great and all, but what if they have lots of macros written for the Office suite? Once OpenOffice has implemented compatibility with macros, there will be no reason to not switch.
The other thing that occurred to me, is why do they feel like they have to upgrade? Why can't they stick with the version they have?
I have a hard time beieving this will be possible. $100 is extremely cheap for a laptop type computer. Well I guess it would be more than $100 to purchase, but that still sounds insanely low. Sounds pretty cool if they could get it to work. Seems like they might be trying to have a diskless machine where everything is done through the web browser, since google is one of the companies supporting it.

Why would they have to leave after 29 months? Surely they could get a work visa after 29 months of study at a prestigious university.

Because they use Windows? Or even if they are using Linux, why should they have to drop down to the command line to play a video?
This whole April Fool's "joke" was just a ploy to get people to download chrome! (No I'm NOT bitter about the 3d viewing not working...)

I have had it with these motherfucking pythons on this motherfucking plane!

What? Who modded that interesting? The article doesn't say anything about PHP or benchmarking.
I thought it was working better when they still had BitKeeper...

The FTC did not try to shut down spyware. They shut down a site that pretended to clean people's computers of spyware.
Why do you think most people don't buy CD's very much anymore? The people that don't buy CD's anymore are the ones who are downloading MP3's for free.
