"Everybody knows" there are web standards, yet millions of sites only works properly with IE. Does that make them "IE fanboys"? Actually, I guess it does. Never mind.
Nice troll.
It's called "lazy writes", i.e. the OS waits until all the disk buffers are full, or a time limit expires before it writes a buffer to disk. It's a pretty standard operating system optimization - Windows uses it too. "The whole sync() thing" flushes all the buffers and updates the superblock, telling the OS that the file system is "clean". Windows does this also, this is why you see CHKDSK (the Windows version of fsck) running after a rare Windows system crash.
And you don't think that these vulnerabilities, once discovered, thanks to the incentive program, will make it into the wild?
And you think that 3Com will share the details (early) with their competitors so that their customers can be protected too?
No, I think we're on the way to having "exclusive" vulnerability protections.

You mean something like Alan Kay's Dynabook?

Freya already has a day (Friday - Freya's Day or Frigg's Day, depending on who you ask) named after her.
So was I.

Um, by reading the RFC?

IIRC, it was invented by Wyle E. Coyote.
I know about the Naughty Bits, (SetUID, SetGID and Sticky) but the Evil Bit???
Um.
crony?
morony?
Ah.
Balony.
You poor bastard.
You missed being "insightful" by 0.92 seconds.
Now you're modded as a loser.

I thought not.

Say it! Say it!!
Say: "Single point of failure"
Say it and mean it!!

But why the cartoon swearing??
Longhorn is much more secure.
Thanks for pointing that out to us.
Oh Puhleeese.
How many drive-by Slashdottings have you been a party to?
On the first shuttle launch, Dan Rather predicted that we'd "probably be seeing some spectacular entrails". No kidding.
A better use would be to put your primary swap partition on it. Faster than platters.

These are the same people who are leading the front (through their sock-puppets, the RIAA) to have music swappers incarcerated.

Eat your hearts out!!!

This reminds me of mob "insurance".
"You know, if you don't pay us to protect you, something bad could happen to you."
Anyone else see a moral issue here?
That's the way my wife talks about my Intel MDS-235.
Scandalous.
