The reason nobody has heard of it is probably the evil college bookstore cartel. They will break your hands with hammers if they find out you have been using free textbooks instead of the ones they sell. Not to mention what happens to professors that dont require a textbook which costs at least $50 for a course... let's just say they are not usually teaching by the summer semester.
Indeed I found it quite amusing that on my friend's house in California they had a sign by the entrance saying that the building contains chemicals "known to cause cancer". Who would have thought that there might be some dangerous chemicals might be found in a large apartment block, shock! horror!
Nobody but an English teacher (or somebody who doesn't know rules on using commas) would get angry at him for that.
Which is why I give thanks every day that we have slowly reduced the aggressive power of English teachers to their passive pullover-wearing state that they are in now.
So it looks like what this does is execute scripts that generate HTML and then check the HTML for known vunerabilities.
Next stop, badware scripts that generate javascript which then goes on to make HTML instead of just generating HTML. I am sure that there will be many levels of potential obfuscation that can only be stopped by using a browser engine to parse/validate the javascript, and at that point wouldn't the browser engine be vulnerable to the same exploits?
Indeed, I loooove having a 200K javascript.js file download when I am browsing some site on a slow connection, especially when 199K of that file is just library code that the parent website does not even use, but they wanted one strange obscure function and didnt bother hacking apart the full library.
Yeah, but then the guy can have a t-shirt made that says 'winner' with a picture of a lion on it, and for the rest of his life he can bask in the glory of his conversation-piece t-shirt, making him very popular at social gatherings and allowing him to get over his latent social anxieties. I am sure there is some decent, similar t-shirt option for an RIAA lawsuit. ok I'll shut up now.
It seems that every other week I am reading about another flaw in the RIAA's legal cases. Now it seems that anybody who wants to fight and starts getting close to winning has the RIAA cancel the case. Will there come a time when enough people (or their lawyers) get educated as to the ways to win/stop the cases that the RIAA will start using different means of oppression? Am I right in thinking that in the US, the RIAA does not have to pay the court costs for the loser if they withdraw the charges?
You should have told shrtcircuit to get a younger relative to read and explain the post for him. (No offence meant to shrtcircuit - I had to double read the post to get it too)
The only thing I can think of when I hear 'thinkpad' is the horrible nipple mouse they used to all have. Want to scroll from one side of the screen to the other? Best set aside 5 minutes!
Even though in many cases this might be true, and product prices are increased because of it, weak encryption is a lot better than no encryption at all. There are many people out there who might go as far as casual data theft (eg; taking someone at their school's USB memory stick), but even a weak layer of encryption will stop all but those who know what encryption is and where to start breaking it.
If it is a regular xbox you have, then wait until you see what an xbox 360 sounds like when it is reading from the DVD drive. I would say it is somewhere between a blender and a drill. Definately the loudest console I have, but luckily I have it tidied away far from where I sit to play (wireless controls are great).

indeed, doubleplus good
(adverbs are ok right?)
Here is a link to the lava 3k race. Looks muuuuuch better than the 1k one IMHO.

Indeed, it was also the first thing I thought of when I read 'Abe Lincoln Bust'!

Apparently ... he got EYE CANCER!
Ikea is the source of mistrust of sweden for me.
Mars, Comets, Titan and now the Moon. Is there anything we can't smash stuff into?

That should obviously be court costs for the winner.

Yes apparently he used a lot of the profits from his documentaries to buy up areas of land to make into conservation areas for wildlife.
Just use a proxy like black box search.
er because when you reject a taken password, the user has all they need to know to get into somebody else's account!?

Since carbon nanotubes are so strong, I would assume it would be sheared apart (see jet crashing into concrete.)
Net Neutrality is Just "Mumbo Jumbo"? Mumbo maybe, Jumbo NEVER!!

For those that dont remember or have not seen it, if Microsoft designed the iPod box.

It is like levelling up in world of warcraft, just without the grinding and monthly fees. Great deal!
