Since his wife isn't his property, that's not for him to decide now is it? Anyway, I somehow know you didn't just compare someone using your laptop to someone kissing your wife.
Sure an arbitrary website can present the vulnerable website with injected code, but this code can't do anything javascript cannot already do directly. Which, in a reasonably secure browser, is not a whole lot.
Sure, I can use this to inject code into the html that is then processed by my webbrowser. But how I can use this type of XSS to distribute anything? The worst thing I can do is still only happening on my pc.
We can ban major commercial movies and music. Neither buy, nor go the theatre nor download. Completely switch to books, free/small films and free music.
If enough people do it (which won't happen), it could make a significant impact. Maybe it could even change some minds. Of course it'll also kill the pirate movement, but that's a small price as far as I'm concerned.
Python updated to 2.6.*, I've been waiting for that. Especially the backported Python 3 functionality is interesting; it'll also make porting to 3 easier.
Pulseaudio is still very buggy. It eats my CPU cycles, and I need those for several things, not just Pulseaudio. Removing it takes care of that issue as usual. I'll try again in six months. The same for KDE 4, I'll seriously try it when I don't run into several bugs before the desktop is completely loaded.
The new Nvidia drivers add support for vdpau, which means hardware video decoding for x264, VC-1 and WMV. It'll require you to compile Mplayer from SVN but if you're lucky enough to have a card that supports it, it's well worth it. The only method, that I know of, to run 1080p with decent quality and performance on Linux.
That, and this release actually seems stable. The last several final releases I waited a few weeks before upgrading, it seems that won't be necessary this time. Linux is really turning into a thing, it would appear.
The article calls for a mechanism which would enable browsers to identify freely-licensed Javascript applications and run modified version thereof.
To what end?
It is possible to release a Javascript program as free software
O RLY?
But even if the program's source is available, there is no easy way to run your modified version instead of the original... The effect is comparable to tivoization, although not quite so hard to overcome.
Sometime in the next 6 months, their graphics cards should support OpenCL, too. ATI is the way to go for open hardware support at the moment.
Maybe when those good open source 3D drivers are released. Somehow I think it's going to take a while. Right now, you'd be lucky to get either composite or xvideo working, nevermind both.
Right now, NVidia is the way to go. Their drivers actually work.
Without 3D acceleration you won't even have xvideo or opengl video output. In other words, videos will use loads of cpu and will look like crap. As far as I'm concerned, Linux on the Desktop is unusable with the open source nvidia drivers (nv).

For one thing, there's a 64-bit build.
Chromium daily builds: "no native 64bit debs planed for now. The amd64 package is using ia32-libs.".
I guess they had to release a amd64 package to be compliant, so they just build a fake one.

That's a bit shortsighted don't you think? Google is not infallible, I like to be prepared.

Windows XP is really 2000 with fast parts taken out and new UI splashed on.

Yeah, you're right. Foreign keys, who needs 'em?
Seriously though, this could be good news for PostgreSQL. Fingers Crossed.

"The characters are likeable -- Lightning for her mysteriousness, the members of NORA for their banter and camaraderie --"
I don't know why, but this gives me a bad feeling about the game. It sounds very contrived.
Let's hope the game's storyline will at least be somewhat compelling this time.
I wonder how that face stabbing device is coming along.
Someone wearing HAL vs someone wearing Tmsuk Enryu.
I can't think of anything more awesome right now.
Ssh! Don't wake it.
My provider just upgraded to 120...oh Internet Service Providers, what are they gonna use it for?
There seems to be something wrong with tha href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/technology/technologynews/5105
How convenient.
Sorry guys.
Who are you apologizing to?
Anyway, the Mac thing is nonsense. I see Macs fail at trivial tasks every day.

Worst. Summary. Ever.
long answer, not if you want to use it for anything and bears are awesome
Good thing I only know very specific strangers.
And yet, accounts made during install have admin privileges. Microsoft haven't exactly encouraged non-admin accounts.

Isn't that the very proof that we will never invent Tardis style time travel.

Apparently the EULA stated this cost and here in Germany she is required to pay up.
So, in Germany subscriptions are mandatory? I don't see how that could possibly work.
So I thought I would ask Slashdot, should she pay?
If she attaches no value to money, by all means.
