It might be because I'm using the GTK-QT theme engine, but I'm not sure...
Konqueror has JUST a box, no chinese character looking think in it, and it also says "The IP address of this site does not match that of the security certificate.".
So I guess some things "aren't" vulnerable in their own ways...
What's with half of the story being bolded? I know the editors are lazy, but that lazy? I'm almost certain now that an XSS attack could be pulled off by submitting a story to Slashdot.

Do you really expect all users to understand what that error means? I get messages from so called "programmers" that wouldn't know what to do. People see "error" and immediately turn their brain off, because they are scared and confused.
> Assuming they have the source. One of the current criticisms of Linux is its lower level of support for running commercial closed-source applications. This patent could end up being a barrier to running many commercial applications that happen to be written in VB.
Huh? Are you stupid? Why would someone see "Error: ISNOT not supported" if they didn't have the source? Compiled programs don't have "ISNOT" written in them. This patent is on using ISNOT to compile into the binary equivalent, after it gets there it doesn't matter.
My system would comfortably run at 60C (140F) ambient air temperature. I don't.
That's at room temperature. At room temperature your computer creates enough heat to heat itself up to 60C, but at 60C it would produce enough heat to melt itself.
There is thing I noticed, however.. I've used Fluxbox and KDE back and forth for quite awhile, using Azureus the whole time. I almost gave up on Azureus one time when I used KDE for a few months, it would crash almost once a day. I switched back to Fluxbox again, and I noticed it stopped crashing. Currently Azureus has been running for 5 days, without a single crash. Weird how KDE causes all that trouble...
Mine will be kept on a real Hard Disk. What I have now is a 120GB, 7,200 rpm Maxtor HD, which has never disappointed me at all.
How long have you had it, under a year? Just wait, it will die soon.
I have ~4 drives, well, 3 now... 2 WD, 2 Maxtor.
The 2 WD are both over 6 years old, not a single problem. One of the Maxtors died, and the second one I'm fussing around with corruption on an almost timely basis (once a week, on Tuesday).
ReiserFSCK can usually keep it under control, but once in awhile the corruption is so bad that files are destroyed and I have to rebuild the tree (once I had 5 100 TB files, on an 80 GB HD, fun fun). That drive is 14 months old.
All I'm saying is after ~ 10-11 months of having a Maxtor drive, it starts screwing up really badly in my experience, and if you want that data to stay for awhile, you might want to invest in a good WD drive.
Also, how do you keep everything on 120GB? I have 5 spools of CDs and one spool of DVDs, none of which the data is stored on my computer, and I hardly have room on my computer, you must not download much.
I personally think the only Star Trek series that was good was DS9.
One of my friends watches Enterprise religiously, and TiVo's every one of them. I hadn't seen it yet at the time, so I decided to sit down and watch one of them with him.
I got through it, amazingly enough, and asked him, "How do you watch this show? It's horrible!" His reply was, "Well, after DS9 was cancelled there's nothing else to watch..."
I can't stand Enterprise, it's horrible... This news is good news for me, because now they might get better writers on a new show that can create something as good as DS9 was.
They were, as far as I know, the first site to have to deal with this technique on a major scale. Fortunately, this attack requires that the attacker's system communicate with your server, playing the role of a typical user.
Using a system like this for EVERY login for ANY site could generate a lot of valid spam accounts, just always say the person got it right, and probably 90% of the responses would be correct for use as spam accounts. Scary.
I guess what im saying is i dont like it as a long term strategy.
I don't either... after we all have protection on the hardware layer, and software developers stop caring about buffer overflows, as soon as a problem is found in the hardware implementation, we would ALL be screwed. Every single box would be vulnerable, and that would definitely not be good.
As a developer (c/s, web, SQL, etc) I need tools that will help me built solutions for my clients quickly, with a minimum of hassle, that runs without recompiles and linking and privilege settings and... on and on and on. The reason I don't use Linux is the same reason I don't use a Mac: there are no tools available to let me do my job like there are on Linux.
Don't know what "c/s" is, but for web and SQL, KWrite and Kate do better than any windows alternative.

Getting beaten up wouldn't affect their job as much as the "Boss" character in the game beating up the virtual "Slave-#XXX" character in the game.
What makes you think that they employ 12 year olds?
You've never really played an MMORPG, have you? The unspoken age limit is 13 and under.

Here are some recent security announcements from one of Linux's more reliable and secure distros:
...
04/02/2005
*[DSA 666-1] New Python2.2 packages fix unauthorised XML-RPC internals access
Which "one of the more reliable and secure" distro is still using Python 2.2?
Slackware 10, released back on 2004-06-23, had 2.3.4 in it, and -current (to be 10.1 soon) has 2.4 now.
Azureus.

Okay, then I won't watch it.
I've been not watching Star Trek for a long time now, I can get away with not watching it for the rest of my life.
My wife doesn't like it, but she works fine too.
She works fine? The last time I got a mail order robot bride it fell apart as soon as I opened the package!
I have my kids on Linux. They work fine.
The kit came with kids? Where did you get this? I want this so badly!

They can't buy it because their temperature would be off.

They could use TOR to get around that.
