Anyway, there are a million reasons to sanitize input before doing ANYTHING with it, SQL injection is only one of them. Ppl blaming the DBs for these kinds of things probably had a server or 50 FUBARed and really want to be somewhere else right now.
It could tell you answers to really basic things (How do I print a document?), but more advanced questions usually gave an amusing answer at best. Still, I agree with the GP Clippy could be useful for the complete novice.
The problem, if you ask me, was that the average PC was too slow at the time so the computer would almost freeze for several seconds and perhaps even swap parts of Office to disk. The frustration of this happening whenever "It looks like you're writing a letter" of course made most ppl hate the whole thing.
...then compute every possible message that the template can produce, then MD5 hash them....
I was with you up until this point. Just consider a line of, I don't know, say 64 random characters. A complete MD5 DB just of this alone would make existing MD5 rainbow tables look tiny.
The idea of "moles" it not bad though (nor new). It would be possible for the SMTP server to look at a message and ask itself (or, more likely, an external filter) "Could this message have been constructed from this template?". As notes elsewhere though, it would be just another arms race.
Reminds me of the problem with Windows Terminal Services licensing where the licenses (tscal) would keep running out when running windows 2000 TS servers even if you had more than enough. The (unofficial) advice from MS back then was to turn off the TS license service... Anyone knows if that works better these days?
Could be a million reasons. Maybe she is suffering from panic anxiety for instance (maybe the extra stress actually triggered latent illness). When you can barely get out of bed killing yourself can probably look like a good deal compared to moving to a foreign country.
The most common is definitely flatrate in Sweden, at least on DSL and Cable. 1 GB / month is common on 3g, but who would use that for serious P2P anyway...
The same (short term drop in traffic) was seen in Finland (a neighbour country) when they implemented their IPRED1 law. A few months later however the traffic was back to "normal" again, and P2P traffic continue to rise.
Sure, Wolfenstein 3D and Doom brought nothing new to the world at all.;) I could agree with you that lately they haven't impressed me that much, but to say that the software company that more or less created the FPS genre has created only crap seems weird to me...
(And by the way, it says clearly what is supported if you login in to the site as I have stated elsewhere. Perhaps you have modified your browser to report being something else?:) )
The company I work for (home electronics retail chain with stores in three countries) has centralized IT, including the support. We are about 1000 employees in total.
The core IT staff is 7 people:P Add some web guys (who work 100% with running our web site/shop + intranet) and a couple of project managers + one local IT support guy in one of the other countries and the figure would be around 15 people.
Usually, when I tell people how few we are they think we have everything outsourced. This is not the case however. We actually do almost everything inhouse, including continuous development in our own UNIX based business system for the stores. This was bought maybe 20 years ago and has been modified inhouse ever since. Telnet based cash registers FTW:) This may seem insane, but it works pretty well actually. Instead of minor changes taking weeks or months if external consultants were to do it (because of all the "analysis" and stuff that would go into the "project"), we can do it in hours or minutes when the higher management in their infinite wisdom decide that some new customer bonus system or what not needs to be implemented country-wide this afternoon, for instance.
We have consultants do development work in the accounting system though (.NET...). We also sometimes buy very specialized services like installation of a clustered Oracle system. The goal is always to do stuff ourselves (to keep the knowledge of our own systems within the organization) and get help when learning something for a one-time installation doesn't make sense and yet wanting best practice followed.
Sometimes when I think about how 6 or 7 of us actually run a pretty damn successful infrastructure including about 80 servers (Windows, Linux, HP-UX) (most of them under ESX, thank god), IP telephony company-wide, VMWare cluster, 700+ PCs and numerous applications I feel proud. May sound like bragging perhaps, but it's more the feeling of being part of a really functioning IT department (and, OK, noting that we have great uptime, few problems and taking professional pride in that)
Other times, it feels insane. And it can be insane sometimes. Like when two or three of us get ill and have to stay home at the same time. And we are of course vulnerable in a way if a couple of us suddenly would resign without any notice. Personally I would like to 2-3 more people for that reason alone)
I don't feel worried being fire anytime soon at least:) It would take a year to replace any one of us, even though we are fairly good at documenting stuff. Even perfect documentation only takes you so far though, as I think most people here would agree on. And believe it or not, 5 of us has been working here for 8 years or more. I'd say that's a pretty good sign things are working out for both us (the IT staff) as well as the company.
And yes, we do get normal vacations (4-5 weeks) and don't have to be on call all the time. We have a rotating on-call schedule. I have it this week, Monday-Sunday. So far I have had ONE call in 6 days...
With the right people it doesn't have to be a 1:10 ratio. But of course there are days when the phone just never stops ringing, and those days I curse that we are so few...
I dunno. Part of my job is being a postmaster at a medium sized company. Whenever there is a mail-related problem I have to investigate I immediately suspect an exchange server at the other end. 9 times out of 10 I'm right. Maybe it's good for internal mail. It breaks far too many SMTP standards though to be a good mail server in general.
I'd say MS best achievement was Windows 2000/XP (or perhaps even Windows NT.) That is actually a stable OS (but not very secure as we know;) ) Windows 98SE was a lot better than windows 95 IMHO. First edition of W98 and ME was utter crap though. And to be fair, Windows 95 was pretty cool when it came out. At least we could finally multitask (time share?) (OK there was stuff like DesqView or whatever it was called)
SQL server is not much to be proud of either when you scale it up a bit. But sure, it's cheap (at least when you buy it) compared to Oracle.
Office is not bad I guess (technically) even if I fail to see much sense in upgrading to the latest version all the time. Except to stay compatible with rest of the world... (wonderful scheme there:) )

Any particular reason you linked to an older version of the documentation? :D

Fortunately someone posted the video on youtube so one doesn't have to be able to play .mov videos..
.mov doesn't have sound?
No sound, but maybe the original

You're saying we only have 3 tubes in Sweden? :(

When you log in to the web site with an unsupported browser (like Chrome) you get to know that:
We're sorry, but your web browser or operating system is not compatible with QUAKE LIVE. You must be using a combination of the following:
Windows XP Windows Vista
Firefox 2.0 / 3.0 Internet Explorer 7 / 8
Support for Mac & Linux, along with alternative browsers is under development.
Seems fair to me.
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you ;)
Especially since they could STILL do that if the passwords were stored as, say, md5 hashes.
Exactly. I bet they are very happy now that this story is in Slashdot's RSS feed :))
HEY! Show some respect for the elder! I'm sure Kaspersky was great at some point and the poor old man is just remembering the good old days ;)
Well, while GP wasn't exactly friendy, maybe it _should_ have been "How do I do it?" The search works just fine here.

Not really. Try googling for "!!!" (Some weird dance punk band, look it up on wikipedia if you want)

"The Guru" at the MAME dumping project would probably be very interested in your find! Dumping those kinds of ROMS would be trivial to him.

Not to mention it would be pretty stupid to leave your own IP in the target logs.
