Actually, I was just messing around. I'm kind of suprised it took someone this long to find a vulnerability in wowexec. I'm sure MS is not even thinking much about this, yet pretty much any program can have the possiblity of a buffer overrun or some sort of registry memory shift.
I found it funny that the Google ad displayed next to the article was for Microsoft forefront touting the security features.
I was actually referring to the recent news items discussing Motorola's recent issues with the estate since calling the Android phone the Nexus One - http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/01/07/cnet.google.nexus.one.blade.runner/
I was trying to be funny when I wrote this - as I didn't notice it on the list. However, In typing it out, however, my ADHD mind thought of a million ideas for a realistic comedy based on a robotic future with a working Joe dealing with life as his wife, kids and robotic maid (can we use the word, 'android,' without pissing off PK Dick?) work through various scenerios.
Or maybe we can find a new movie in which Sigourney Weaver can wake up from hyper sleep and then take on some alien presence......what? I saw that this weekend?
I like the quote in the article, "Instead, people should set a goal of making substantial and sustained contributions to Ubuntu. By doing this, the focus shifts from working hard in order to get one of the Membership benefits to working hard in order to make Ubuntu a greater distribution and improve the community,"
You know, people are going to want the benefits.
I wonder if bitching about the GUI or how I don't get to sync my blackberry using a GUI I like counts.
I use both SQL Server (on my enterprise-level servers), SQL Express (on my laptop under VMWare) and also am a user of MySQL on my personal website as well as a few other websites.
I see no reason for it to be a zero-sum game. Oracle would actually benefit by having an entry-level database as well as an enterprise-level one.
I read the blog/petition last week. (What else is there to do at work between Christmas and New Year's?)
I understand the concern - that MySQL will be an in-house "competitor" for resources to Oracle's database. However, why wouldn't they be complimentary?
Also, since a large portion of the original MySQL is OSS, then I see no reason an entity couldn't take it and create a forked product to compete in that space. This would be like Websphere and Apache co-existing. IBM goes after the corporate market and Apache goes after the rest.
I have eight developers who work for me, all doing Wintendo development using.net (C#, asp.net), some COM (still!) and even some cold fusion and ADABAS. For the Wintendo systems, they require local admin in order to be able to test installations of assemblies and other DLL files in "protected" areas as well as gaining access to HKLM and other needd registry hives.
Our users - around 2000 - have only normal user accounts.
My kids play this occasionally, otherwise I would not know of it.

"he game combines questions read from trivia cards or viewed on a television from an included DVD or based on clips from movies, TV shows, music videos, sports and other popular culture phenomena."
Though the idea sounds cool, I'm wondering what benefit having a solid-state drive with a 10" screen will be other than for those few road warriors who have to write long proposals while on an airplane flight.
At the same time, having a bundled deal so that one gets phone service with the netbook isn't that much of a benefit, IMO. You can already do this with a HTC Hero/Android device or even an iPhone.
Though I like the idea - after all why do I need to buy/download a crap product like MS Word to read a document - there are many "standards" which aren't open. Word.doc format is one. So is.xls and even the commonly used TIFF G-IV (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagged_Image_File_Format) commonly used by document scanning applications and GIF - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_Interchange_Format - used by photographic apps.
There's also DWF format for CAD files and MP3 for lossy sound compression. IIRC, those are not open either, but pretty much universal.
When the next FOI act is enabled, we'll FINALLY determine what - exactly - the intern working on December 14th 2003 - ordered for lunch from his buddy who'd emaied five minutes previously.
Currently, OSS distributions cannot send out - for example - CSS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_Scramble_System) code in many countries due to things like the DCMA. However, it can easily be downloaded from other countries, where the DCMA is not in effect. This allows one to play DVD's using MPlayer or VLC without worrying about the local authorities knocking on one's door.
Given this bastard law, one wouldn't be able to download code regardless.
I bought my then-eight-year-old an electronics kit last year for Christmas. He really didn't touch it much until summer, when school let out. Then he had a blast all summer making various alarms, sensors, light sequencers......this year I think I'll go for a chem kit.
Oh, and a linux-based notebook isn't too bad either. He is currently using an old one of mine to learn typing by using TuxType (http://tux4kids.alioth.debian.org/tuxtype/index.php) and doing math on Tux Math.
If you're getting your BS in CS, then why are you even looking at networking certifications like CompTIA? Some of my best hires - and guys/gals who I really gunned for were CS grads who spent their free time coming up with incredibly cool programs that weren't part of the school curriculum.
In my opinion, if you have a CS degree and you haven't been doing a huge amount of coding - or designing your own OS or chipsets, then you're throwing your money away. May as well go for something like Liberal Studies.
I'll bet he's re-thinking the concept of writing an OS vs. doing a massive search engine. (Not calling it bing - maybe Life the Universe and Everything.)
If you take the third letter of every fifth page divided by the square of the absolute answer to life the universe and everything and add it to a nice, hot cup of tea, you'll get that the book simply lists technological achievements and political issues discussed by anonymous contributors.

I'm thinking that we could have Spiderman 4 - The Revenge.
Then we could have Spiderman 5 - The Final Frontier.
Of course, Spiderman VI - Jason Lives, will be a little scary.
That could be the final movie.

Nevermind.
...that would have me as a member. :)

Normally that would be my first response as a joke, but I begin to wonder if Adobe could affect anything that is not root-level (or admin level).

I get a very bad feeling about international DCMA. It is bad enough the US citizens bent over and allowed the DCMA to be delivered, but now?
Next thing, I'll be sitting in jail for trying to solve a Rubik's Cube by taking it apart.

So you put some servers in a shipping container.
What does that bring you aside from the ability to move said servers around? If you need to access a remote data center you simply dial it up.
I can't wait until they put one of these in a double-wide and the next tornado spots it.

Now that we have the issue with the heat coming from the server room solved, let's tackle the hot air coming from the executive offices next.
Any ideas?
