"It is not just images, but any type of complex file format. This is something that security researchers and hackers have realized to be a weak point in many applications."
To bad windows update installed that anti spyware crap of theirs for me. I think it called it the "Malicious Software Removal Tool." Oddly though, it has yet to bug me, but I suppose I should count my blessings.
That tool shoudn't have "bug"'d you anyway. A new version of the "Malicious Software Removal Tool" you speak of is installed and run by Windows Update periodically (monthly?) to simply check once for Blaster and other viruses (not necessarily spyware, and vice versa, I'm sure). That just runs once, and silently, after it's downloaded and installed; it shouldn't bug you.
The article refers to Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware, a different tool (and not among the "Windows Update"s). It usually shows an icon in the taskbar and (when that is clicked or tabbed to+ENTER pressed on) a window from which you can scan the PC, update said AntiSpyware, etc.
The "anti spyware crap of theirs" you mention is not the subject of TFA.
I hope it's just to counsel the company on ways to secure their open-source offerings (if any). Of course, it's a tad tough to make money that way, save for an occasional lawsuit, so I doubt that...
My apologies, I do realize that post of mine was quite insulting.
Unfortunately, articles that cater to math geniuses, software experts and pedants like me are/.'s niche. People who are not immersed in technology every day are thus given a de facto kick to the curb.
The UFOs would surely avoid meteor showers like these. Either that, or we are seeing UFOs that have been struck by these meteors and are falling into our environs (in which case I must get a picture of them, the GIMP, and the Impact font ready so I can add to my personal MeteOWN3D!!1 gallery).
Understood, but I used hot in an absolute, not relative sense. I like her, but I can google with two random fucking words and find guys hotter on the first, Firefox-pre-loaded result.
I am single (from the obvious-news dept.) and frankly, I doubt I'd want that to change. I'm very closely related to some people who are (to put it lightly) annoyed and restricted like hell with their partners, so I learned your "words" well before you ever said them. I'm far more content with just looking than throwing myself into a singularity^W relationship.
In my defense, she reminded me of some girl(s?) that I like more.

Indeed. Anyone with SOCOM 2 might know the feeling...
...one must not be able to rank up with simple tactics.

Hopefully they didn't just realize that.

Quoted to emphasize redundancy. ;)
You cannot be Sirius.
Trying this again: Alexa Global Top 500.

I think the Slashdots mucked up your link. Try Alexa Global Top 500.
Even worse: If the whiner is your science lab partner, whining about how to do $this and how they are gonna shoot themselves because of $that.
I know a few like that; they should probably not take a research job after college.
These "appropriate private sector entities" could easily be taken to mean "private" places, like homes of suspects. Mod Parent Insightful® etc.
If one doesn't know the respective significances of 314159265 and 299792458, said "one" is not meant for Slashdot.
Aretha kicks ass. R E S P-E C T!
Should we Winsock it to 'em?

If Conan can make 2005 the next 2000, anything can happen.
Prove that an article can make little and no sense to you.
Pedantry aside, I fully understood the comparative list of pictures the article had: Peter Moore, the similar logos, the similar OSes, etc.
They assigned it the value of Dreamcast 2.0. There hasn't been a Dreamcast 2.0 yet, so the XBOX 360 is currently null (Nothing in Visual Basic).
Therefore, it actually doesn't exist. Quod erat demonstratum etc.
(Now, having seen many pictures of the console before this, my head will surely explode in either case.)
First I had to deal with reality shows...now I have to watch running public speakers too.

It's Windows, not a Wikipedia Featured Article candidate.

They can put it on calendars. I just won't buy 'em.
Now if they're in a Playboy special, we should really start killing the hostages.
As if I minded that. Her hotness makes them professional. Wear your geek shirt with pride, Whitney Butts*, for you beautify our race.
*That's just a horrible last name to be stuck with. I feel your agony from here.
