Not much sense in renting pffice space for the survivors of people who have been trampled by a herd of zebra, while being hit by a meteor and lightning.
Damn, I was hoping to hit on the grieving widows...
The odds decrease dramatically the farther away from the Sarengetti or Busch Gardens you live. For most of us reasers, we would see it on the news weeks before the flood of Zebras made it to our house. That should give us enough time to finish posting to slashdot, pack up our star wars action figures and set our Tivo's to record Star Trek till they pass.

[snip] For an unknown reason this check is not performed on the audio (.wav) and font (.xtf) files. Unfourtunately for Microsoft there exists an exploitable integer underflow vulnerabilitiy within the font file loader which can be exploited with a malformed font file. When the XTF header is processed the dashboards reads a 4 byte blocksize field from the font file. This is expected to represent the size of some datablock including the 4 bytes of the size field itself. The blocksize is then allocated and the sizefield is copied into the beginning of the buffer. This is already a possible overflow bug when the field contains the values 0..3. Due to memory alignment this is not exploitable. But then the blocksize is decreased by 4 because the dashboard wants to read the rest of the block into memory. Obviously values of 0..3 will underflow when decreased by 4 and this results in the dashboard wanting to read up to ~4 gigabytes of data from the font file in a f.e. 3 bytes buffer.
Because the XBOX malloc()/free() implementation is also storing control information inbound and is similiar to the Windows 2000/XP heap allocators this bug is exploitable and allows execution of arbitrary code. The attached proof of concept code shows that exploiting is possible with offsets that are equal on all dashboards and XBOX versions known. [/snip]
I think that he means that the author leaves out the anecdotes and crap which he thinks is funny, but others just groan and hope to meet the author in a dark alley for some hot baseball bat-to-forehead action.
Kind of like all my posts.

Outlook is a great program for Windows clients. Horrible for tech support, virus spreading, security and the like, but great for Windows users.
And from the screenshots page, this one has support for Macs as well. It covers Windows, *nix, and Mac, now if it's scalable, and easy to administer, it's got my vote.

Kolab requires the use of the Bynari client connector for Outlook to connect a Windows client to it, and you have to buy a license for it.
Now I'm not against selling software by any means, but I'm not going to pay money to use a free solution. If I wanted to spend money, I would get Samsung Contact, or go for the whole Bynari client/server model so I had support.
What business is going to wait and rely on a higher court overturning the ruling?
The one with millions tied up in Linux development and infrastructure. They can hold out until the ROI is realized and change everything then, should the case drag on like we know that it's going to.
It was fun at first, but the whole SCO/IBM thing is turning into a three ring circus here. One article blends into another, no new insight is made.
We all know SCO is bad, IBM is less bad, the enemy of my enemy yadda yadda, so why keep bringing it up. I'm as interested in the lawsuit as the next guy (providing the next guy isn't Darl McBride), but I want new info, not a rehash of how much we hate SCO.
Let me put on my Kreskin hat here. Three links to a huge PDF on SCO's site, three following comments on a wget/crontab combo to increase effectiveness, one righteous prick saying not to do it.
Next thread. "I don't care anymore, let's buy all the SCO stock and shut them down". Here it forks, one saying it's SCOX, not SCO and one thread about shorting the stock.
everything else is a rehash of old trolls, old comments, one guy searching caldera stories and cutting and pasting +5 comments, sprinkle with insight, set at 350 degrees, and bake until done. Serves 10,000.
for the atrocities of the Industrial Revolution, take a look at British History. London was a soot-covered town where people worked long hours for little pay. The standard of life was poor, if not abysmal. Children were forced to work in coal mines to fuel the revolution. Other children worked in textile factories, because they were cheaper to hire than adults, took up less space, and could be pushed around easier.
The divide between the poor and the middle class became a matter of semantics while the divide between the middle class and the wealthy expanded. These conditions lead to the creation of Karl Marx' Communist Manifesto, as well as populated Australia with 'criminals' who couldn't pay their taxes.
Once the industrial revolution subsided, labor laws were enacted to prevent the exploitation of the worker, until balance was achieved. Arguably the 1950's Americana was the golden age of this. Cars were cheap, housing was affordable, and families had disposable income.

What suprises me is that it doesn't have any reference to SCOX stock.

Soderless/chipless X-box hack right here
Flaw in dashboard, aslo published by Microsoft, and worse than any savegame hacks.

You guys came out.

You're getting slow. Must all be compiling right now
Why don't you just ask what everyone's favourite distro is?
Apt-get, no emerge, no make world, ARRRGH!
Man, I can't spell.
cruel.
Although the correct spelling is pretty ugly as well.
That's it, goodbye creul world!
And you can point your phone at women in the bar
and get her bio, likes and dislikes, and the statistical probability of her going home with you...
I'll commit suicide before then...
You should have stayed logged in. Now how are we going to know where to send the deerstalker cap, magnifying glass, and deep-bowled pipe?
Aside from that, nice piece of detective work!
Hizzah!
Funny AND relevant.
And short, what more can you ask for in a comment?
Oh yeah, substance. Still, that's 75%, well above the bar here.

Yes, I am aware of that, and my pets are chipped.
And you can't track them, you can only identify them, which is only slightly helpful when unleashing an army of rats upon the city.
I wanted to get a bunch of RFID tags and use them to track my pets.
Oh well, is Tesco still going to use them?
