The bigger problem here is that this update enforces the ActiveX patch that was released a while back, y'know the one that causes inline ActiveX controls to not fire up, but to display that 'Click Here to Active This Control' message instead.
Not a major problem out on the Internet, but many Corporates have internal web apps where this patch is going to screw things up royally.
No I'm not Mexican but have been best friends with mainly Mexican Americans and it pisses me off to see this shit happening right in front of our faces.
Why? Why do you think it's bad to prevent illegal immigrants from entering?
What I perceive happening at some point is a rogue group creating viruses to steal contacts then selling those contacts. Imagine the market for say Pamela Anderson's phone list... Imagine one for say the phone list of the President.
I assume these rogue groups aren't interested in Pamela Anderson's email contact list or the President's email contact list but only in their phone lists for some reason.
It wasn't open standards and the fragmentation that did Unix in, it was plain hubris among the Unix vendors who cannot fathom a future where a cheaper Windows NT would replace the robust, stable and widely admired Unix they are selling.
At that time, IIRC, there was a lot of criticism that Unix wasn't as robust or secure as the mainframes.
Those wars helped Microsoft displace Unix with Windows NT, which steadily gained market share until Linux, a Unix clone, in turn began to supplant NT.
Does anyone have figures for this - that Linux has supplanted NT. Not that I don't believe it - Since it's many years since NT was sold, it may be possible that Linux has begun to supplanted NT. Hopefully by 2010 or so (when Vista will be released;-)) Linux would have begun to supplant Windows 2000.
Does nobody remember the Cassette era, when purchased music was freely recordable and many players had two decks in order to facilitate copying? I don't recall any sort of music industry collapse back then. Sure we didn't have the internet back then, but people still traded music. A lot.
Few things - I assume you had to make 10 copies of the cassette for 10 of your friends - you would have spend a few hours doing it - with digital files you could email it to 10 of your friends in 10 seconds.
- There was no cost associated with emailing it to 10 of your friends. Back then, you would have to buy 10 blank cassetes to tape on.
- Assume you had a copy, anyone could look at it & tell that it was a copy, not a paid for one. You can't with a digital file.
- The only people you could copy was for your friends, here you could post it for the whole population of the world to download.

I submitted an "Ask Slashdot" question about whether students should be taught programming using a regular mouse or an optical mouse - wonder why it got rejected.
The higher the system requirements appear to be, the more likely a user is to buy a new PC.
Huh!! Only if he was interested in upgrading to Vista in the first place. I am sure nobody is going to be inspired to upgrade to Vista only because it's System Reqs are higher. Then won't be more likely to upgrade to Vista, if he didn't also upgrade the machine?
If the user buys a new PC Microsoft makes another OEM Vista license sale.
Doesn't MS make more money on a retail sale (i.e. buying it at Bestbuy in a shrink-wrapped box) than on a OEM License?
Notwithstanding the First Amendment's free speech guarantees, the trial judge convicted and sentenced McDanel to 16 months in prison. I represented him on appeal
Thank god, the prosecution did not defend the action on appeal. Because the defendent seems to have been represented by someone who doesn't seem to know that the 1st amendment isn't relevant here.
A. Obvious - sell it to people who don't have AIDS as well as people who do.
IMHO, that's not how the drug industry operates.
Their modus operandi is as follows. Don't research cures for disease. Instead invent a drug which helps manage the disease - you have a customer for life.
They hold up Apple as an example of a company willing to make hard decisions around legacy support in order to provide a better product.
It's easier to make hard decisions such as these, when there is only a small number of people using the legacy products & a even smaller number who aren't willing to upgrade.
Plus, IMHO, amongst corporate users, I think much smaller percentage of companies have custom apps running on the Apple Machines.
Capsaicin is an excellent topical analgesic also for neural problems, like Diabetic neuropathy.
There is a substance P which transmits the pain to the brain. Capsaicin destroys substance P if you apply it for 4-5 days multiple times a day & hence for the next couple of weeks you will not have pain, then you have to report it. Instead of the expensive Capsaicin cream you can also use a paste made at home of red chilli powder etc. Or even McIlhenny's Tabasco
I have meralgia parasthetic condition & nothing provides relief like chilli paste.

The fix is trivial
Takes a minute to implement.

It's a Sherlock Holmes reference.
The curious incident was that the dog didn't bark.
Rather co-incidentally, it was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's birthday a couple of days
back.

I'm sure as hell not wasting my bandwidth downloading a VIDEO every time I visit a page.
Well, what you wrote above shows that you sure as hell didn't waste any
bandwidth RTFA.
Why are they searching for meds there?
Why not search the Sahara desert or the
moon or the African jungle or something?
Why the deep sea reef?

a new low by approving(editorially) this article on slashdot.

Ferris told InfoWorld he is considering releasing the details of the unpatched holes on May 14 on his Web site.
Apple will then just have to take him to court like they do with everybody else, won't they?
When you settle in court, you settle with the person you wronged
What about plea bargaining?
Are you settling with the court there or with
the person you wronged?

As Elaine Benes once said "Absolootely nuttin".
This article took all of what, 5 minutes using Google Image Search to throw together? Brilliant!
Yes. But, back in the 80's when they did a 60's vs 80's article, it took them 5 months.
And they didn't have no Google either.

diabetic neuropathy is actually not painful
Yeah - go tell that to people who can't sleep because
their legs burn at night & they also have other pain.
