"1. load int from char array
2. check int against sizeof(yourbuffer)
3. reject if greater
Not exactly a challenging task
It all goes to the quality of the coder. This is just plain bad code. I learned how to write something to check these kinds of things in middle school.
So, what is this... like the 10,000 IE security hole reported in the last couple years. Why write another IE virus? Is there really any challenge left?
Can we please not turn this into a religious debate.

I hope you are joking. Your post is the intellectual summation of 2000 years of fear of the truth. Not saying that Darwin is the end-all-be-all truth, however, it is and always has been the fundemantal Christian's way to hide the eyes and lash out at anything that doesn't support the ultimate in tall tales and outlandish theories.
Darwinism has been studied relentlessly by thousands of teams of scientists and skeptics. No one has yet been able to prove it wrong. Quite the contrary, actually; most times evidence is dicovered to support the theory of evolution. I have yet to see a scientist prove that the Red Sea was parted or the burning bush spoke or the bones of the whale that Jonah lived in for 3 days and nights were found."
"who knows what remnants of Darwin's trip may still lie down there"
I doubt there will be anything of Darwins on board. It did many things after his travels in it and was eventualy stripped down by someone else. It's like getting a used car with several owners before you. Will you really find anything worth wild from the first owner. Maybe an old green fry in the seat. Who wants that.
As is usual the US is slow at change. We are stuck in our was and that is especially true for the government. Were there are many places in the world that realize the problems with M$ and are migrating to alternatives it's big news here. We (US) are being slow to wake up and realize the truth. But, that is how the US works.
I think the problem is, how do you know when all the facts and info are in?
We explain what we see, in terms that we know, with data that we have. We can do no more. Yes, but they know there are many holes in the information but still draw conclusions even knowing they have very limited facts.
With all of these theories coming out I keep wondering how much real info they stand on and how much are concept. It seems there is a lot of concept coming out these days to explain all of the things we just can't explain yet. Like we need to explain everything right now even if all the facts and info aren't in yet.
Not arguing that it is better Java but the speed is an issue for pratical use on older machines. Their engine may be broken but for a lot of things it works and for all the basic users i know the broken microsoft VM engine works just fine and faster. A lot faster.
Is with Java applications. The sun java setup uses more resources than the one integrated into IE. If you are on a slightly older setup (like my mom) and you want to play yahoo games (as so many do) then it's faster in IE. Hate to say it but that is one place IE has a one up on the others.
wait, who still uses a floppy. The only time I have used one of those in the last 4 years is an ftp install of reebsd. other then that, what use is there?
Don't forget that the G5 and G4 processors are used for other things. Like mars rovers, and in many other military and applications like that. It is actually a very popular series of chip outside your basic pc market.
When have you ever known Microsoft to do the solution that exists. Has anyone checked to see if Yahoo or Microsoft got a patent on the whole stamp idea?
My mom and my girlfriend on paying bills and understanding money. Oh, sore spot. They don't get moneny and can't manage it to save their lives. And there are a lot more out there like them.

Oh, no. Another median big brother can use to store more information about me on.

Maybe the Mars Rovers will stumble accross some missing ships from the Burmuda Triangle.

So, I see that part of the saying "Beer is the solution to all lifes problems" is partly true.

Maybe for the next name they could go with FireShits. Cause eash new name hurts a little more and just burns.
They have a good reason for changing the name. There is another Open Source project that has been around longer with the name Firebird.
I Think the new name is lamer than the old one but it is a great jesture to the open source world to do this.

I know I have to ask this but does anyone have a patent on this yet???
If not I bet one from Microsoft, SCO or some lawyer was just filed.
the burnout for those on the other end of the phone when you call tech support is like 8 or 9 months... talk about a hard demanding job.
Do we have a Judge the Recording Execs can't pay off??
There is one problem with this... how many of us would get fired for spending all day reading those documents looking for some conspiracy??
The space rovers use them and they have been hardened against radiation.
is there spyware for any other systems than winblows? Or is that just anther reason win blows?
in using Spybot. It doesn't install spyware... or does it.
