  2. Long-term solution? on Microsoft to Issue Out-of-Cycle Patch for IE · · Score: 1
    They claim that the forthcoming patch will be a "long-term solution to the core vulnerability" exploited by Scob."

    Note that this does not mean that they are replacing IE with FireFox.

    Meanwhile, I'll go back to watching the world slowly march towards 1984.
    Next up is drugs to prevent criminal behaviour. Scientists have determined that the same part of your brain responsible for creativity can be used to plot bank robberies and whatnot.

    I was considering a crack about "trials are already underway in your drinking water", but I thought that'd be a bit overboard. (Maybe. :D)
  9. The Solution to Spam! on Microsoft to Deploy SPF for Hotmail Users · · Score: 1

    Just kidding, it's just an idea... whoever's got that "Your solution to spam will not work because ..." form, get it ready. :-)

    Why not sign outgoing messages with the server's private key, put the signature in the headers, then make the public key available (say, via dns)? Wouldn't this kill spoofing?

    Just a thought.

    It looks like Tablet PCs are finally hitting real-world budgets. Averatec released a Tablet PC with an AMD Athlon XP-M 2200+ processor and will be at Costco and Staples for $1349.
    How the HELL is that a real-world budget? That's a third of my fscking paycheck, before taxes!

    I hate it when people say "affordable" and mean $20,000 USD.

    I've been running around various parts of T-Mobile trying to track one of these sons of bitches down, and all I get is "they're not available any more, there should be a new one out in summer". Woohoo! More shit to burn money on. Like Defcon isn't going to fuck my bank account over.

    *sigh* It's a joke.

    It goes like this. "You cut someone off in traffic, and they get all pissed off, so he cuts someone off, who gets off the freeway and starts speeding, until he gets pulled over by a fat cop, so he makes a fat joke, and the cop gets all pissed off, until it all ends up in the middle east!"

    What the hell were these people thinking? If you have access to the shadow file, then you have root access, and you can just passwd a different password. Root doesn't have to supply the current password.
    Uhm. Yeah, you're right there, but what if, say, I've got the same password somewhere else and I'd really like to know what it is, since the admin of that box went on vacation to Tahiti for brain transplant surgery and all my good porn is on his box?
