I've got some balls alright, I simply tabbed once to often.
We have seen major phishing attemps on the big US corporations for a while now, and people have been faking mails from ebay and the banks and everywhere else.
Only now that UK organisations are targeted do they start moaning.
There should be a concerted effort to stamp out this kind of shit targeting whichever organisation WORLDWIDE, not just a namby pamby "oh look our companies is getting done over". Organisations and ISPs should supply enough information about online fraud to everyone who needs it, and shouldnt wait until they get hit.
fta: Nevertheless, he understands why not all Microsoft developers were satisfied with the explanation. "I'm also sure Ford wasn't too happy with (Ralph) Nader's reports in the late '60s," he said. "What do you mean you are telling people our cars can blow up?"
I wonder if Bill actually laughed the first time he read the microsoft car joke?
Maybe Apple feels like half the company it could be without a spreadsheet app.
Maybe its the only thing used internally that still requires MS Office? If the other products are all of a high standard (for now, I'm still a mac outsider), and they can work productively using them, then a spreadsheet might just be the key.
a couple of questions come up with this however,
1) Does Apple eat its own dogfood? Do the employees use OSX all day every day, or are there specific departments that still require Windows?
2) What database products do Apple employees/mac users use? Is it just postgre/mysql type things, or is there a decent Apple built DB engine?
This is not a patch as the normal dictionary word define it, software patches are used to modify the behaviour of the software. It is like when you changed the breaks from your bycicle from the pedal brake to the hands brake.
Computer Science. A piece of code added to software in order to fix a bug, especially as a temporary correction between two releases.
Thats one of the many things it says, but I patch my jeans up if they get ripped, or I apply a patch to my sons inner tube on his bike, I use a small piece of something to repair another. A patch is used to repair broken functionality.
It most certainly doesn't imply adding new functionality.
The financial world is a bit like slashdot moderation.
You see something you like, so you moderate it up, but everyone in the market does the same, so instead of a marginally funny joke going to mod=3, it gets blasted over to 5 instantly, and then modded back down because its not that funny.
(speaking of which, mod targets (ie this comment is +3interesting) would be a cleaner way than the current +1,-1 style)
On the slightly different subject of hardware loggers, When I last read about them, the way you dump the contents of the memory in a hardware logger was to open up a program like notepad, and press a certain combination of keys. This puts the device into playback mode and your notepad window wills with the recorded keystrokes.
Does anyone have a list of the most commonly available keyboard action keys so that we can attempt to protect ourselves?
I gather it is like pressing Delete or F1 on bootup for the BIOS config; there may be multiple BIOS manufacturers, but they have settled on just a couple of keyboard shortcuts.
Space(no pun intended) on the station is at a premium.
The suits are not being used and have been declared as surplus, might as well let the school kids get involved in something than just wasting an opportunity:)
The spacesuit is already onboard the ISS and has been declared as surplus.
quarter inch steel plate has the disadvantage of sitting on Earth, and would take up valuable space on a supply rocket. They might as well use the suit for something.
Speaking of product placement, I just watched tonights episode of 24, where the master criminals were using an alienware laptop to perform their evil deeds.
This example was as blatant as anything I have seen in a while, and reminded me of the Independance Day movies with the Apple laptops.
I don't know if it was intentional, but the AW laptop looked wicked, I just wonder if it comes with nuclear rocket control software built in.

Anything you hash together will ALWAYS result in collisions.
Extracting the formatting and code from the document will just make it EASIER to create a duplication.
"Hello World!" might match with "Hello World!!!!!! this is extra stuff"
at least leaving the exact formatting instructions in gives you a chance that the collision which leaves a compatible file is much more difficult than the hash of the simple raw text.

They have search bots which catalog and index financial websites.
;)
However, each search result containing financial details, they shave of $0.001 from the details.
And you say google isn't evil
I already have a passport that correctly confirms my identity.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that to get onto the flight side of an airport you needed your passport?

Its cheaper to get a phone with everything on than it is to purchase a phone with a large format readable screen but no additional crap.
way ahead of you - see one of my other posts on this topic ;)
I'm wondering how many calls there will be when people with telescopes start seeing a body flashing past their eyes.

I wonder what else they have inside these little boxes
The country is already covered with cameras, and it wouldn't surprise me if at least part of its function was clandestine.
It depends which file you include to map printf...
#include stuff.h
/* nothing / */ /* to see / * here */
/* whats * / challenging / * about */
/* this */ /* there / is no */ evil /* /* here
/* their / * / eyes testing */ ();
void main()

I desperately want a touchscreen device, but I am torn.
I hate people touching my screen, and hate to do it myself.
I can try to enforce using a stylus at all times, but having the screen touchy would make their fingers gravitate to it.
I wonder just what the modern equivalent of "Teacher sux!" would be?
I hadn't thought of HG2G creatures, instead I thought of the Talkie Toaster from Red Dwarf.
That little toaster put up with so much abuse.
All it wanted to do was toast things.
Your right.

How exactly could they create junk documents that also match the expected filesize.
Add in that restriction and md5 could become a difficult problem again
