It's not that hard--especially when you consider that old-school cartoons had people drawing every freakin' frame of a feature-length movie by hand...
Well, to be fair, very few animated movies run at the framerate modern CG movies run at. (CG runs 30 fps, I think most traditional animations are 12 or 15 fps, plus they didn't have to redraw frames where nothing changes.)
Not to say it wasn't still a pain in the ass, but yeah.
Uhh, there have already been some. The first one I've been looking for (Appleseed) is coming out in Japan soon, and it looks quite badass. I've heard of a few crossovers before now, but can't think of any off the top of my head.
The SSH exploit wasn't a particularly bad one. basically, on a ssh:// link, you could specify a filename for it to use as a log (in the Home folder) and it would overwrite that one file. But it couldn't be a directory, and you had to know the exact name of the file, so there's not a lot it could actually *do*.
1) make up your own protocol, say, "gumbi://" 2) before you link to this protocol, make the user download "http://your.ip.address/eraseharddrive.dmg". The user downloads this and mounts it (because most browsers automatically open.dmg files by default) 3) set eraseharddrive.dmg up with a program that erases the user's hard drive. Set this app to be the default handler for the gumbi:// protocol. 4) NOW link to a gumbi:// address. Your malware has been executed.
I do have one question: this doesn't gain root access or anything, does it? at worst, it could erase your Home directory.
I've started fiddling with Apache on my Powerbook, and looking at the logs I've gotten long strings of slashes and characters and such as a SEARCH request. I researched it, and found that it's an attempt to buffer overflow IIS on Windows. You hear that Windows? You're junking up my Apache logs. Grr.
Will Apache run on Windows without using IIS? (Maybe an alternative) If so, why use IIS?
60%? you're using outdated numbers. It was reported a week or two ago at 66%, and I'm sure those numbers were already a few weeks old anyway. I'd guess it's at 70% if not higher.
The music is also excellent in this game, enough so that I want to get Ogg Vorbis files of the music so I can listen to it when I'm not playing the game.
Is it just me, or are you trying to go out of your way to mention the fact that you're using ogg vorbis?
Looking ahead to what we can all now confidently say is going to be ENTERPRISE's fourth season.
Season one, two three.... um, shoot. What comes after three? Five? But Best of Both worlds spanned seasons three and... um.... four? Ok, let's go ask Trekweb.
(yes it's sarcastic, I know it's referring to the possible cancellation.)
Actually most new PocketPC's have 400MHz Xscales. One of the newer Toshibas even has a 640x480 (ish) screen, although I don't think this emulator would support it. That would be something really damned cool to have.
though IE tends to be better over all at least on CE
Are you serious? Unless Netfront actively deleted your memory and infects your PC's hard drive with large amounts of virii, I cant imagine that Pocket IE would be better in ANY way.... that thing is an atrocity among browsers......and then I finished reading your post.:P *learns to read the whole post before starting a reply*
This is the most basic and obvious flaw of any such arbitrary flagging scheme... anyone who knows the algorithm knows how _not_ to get flagged.
Reminds me of the problem the Slashdot coders face. (How to see to it that trolls and idiots don't show up to the masses while allowing all the good stuff through.
Slashdot: where if enough people agree, your opinion can be wrong.
1) Your opinion can't be wrong on Slashdot, only unpopular and at worst, modded down. 2) Your opinion can't be wrong in the real world, only unpopular and, at worst, causing you to get shot. Or tortured. Or get a plane flown into a building.
What? I don't recall reading about the system constantly rebooting. (although admittedly I skimmed over parts of the article) He mainly complained about things uninstalling and breaking the system in the process. (He repeatedly got hit with the Blaster worm, not Sasser, and the restarts he mentions during that bit are because of WU not being able to run, not the worm itself, AFAICT.)
And suggesting that firewall will 'cause more problems in the long run' is highly reckless. Ports can be opened for games easily. If you know how to access your machine remotely, you should know how to open those ports beforehand as well. It's much harder to remove every worm you get hit with than to open a few ports here and there.
And I'm willing to risk my karma to let people know
The download was small less than 1MB, but as soon as I tried running it I learned that it requires at least service pack 2 to install, which I didn't have.
Did anyone else notice that little tidbit? Isn't that the same SP2 that's scheduled for release this summer?
Slashdot Mirror
By the way, heres the trailer for appleseed. Quite a beautiful CG animation to behold. apple.co.jp trailer
:)
You did notice I had that trailer linked in my post as well, right?

I can't wait for the first CG/Anime crossover

Just checking.
(not even most)
You sure about that?
Most likely you only talk to other geeks, but keep in mind that the majority of the people who use the internet are NOT smart about viruses and spam.
Thanks, I'm pingflooding you now. Your internet should go away in just a BUFFERING....
Give me your IP address, and I'll make it happen.

That was the last exploit. This one is another can of worms entirely.

Only if their parents can afford the TiVo.

I'll take Slashdot to be unpopular, thanks.
How many EQ players are being paid for by their parents, though?
For them, it can be highly profitable indeed.
You missed that he's running Windoes 2000 Professional, not XP. Service pack 2 for that was released May, 2001.
Yes, yes I did.
Move along. Nothing to see here.

So if I understand correctly... if one engine goes out the plane is pretty much screwed?
Or does the "maximum payload" take that sort of thing into account?
