Most networks have multiple computers and devices. Odds are this system would hold more sensitive information and be used as a server. A successful attack vector would be to take over a less secure system to gain a foothold on the network, then use this attack to take over the main fortress.
I wouldn't call it a cover up. I would say its a case of overconfidence. They didn't accept the fact that the buffer overflow was dangerous beyond a denial of service attack until it was proven to them. A denial of service attack in itself is more of a nuisance than a security risk.
Nobody here has created a good example of a subliminal message. Often the slashdot normal joke is to simply capitalize or bold the letters. My theory is that a properly subliminal message should not be easy to read. Obviously, blatantly placing capitalized letters or bold letters where they aren't appropriate will be noticed. Now, if you typed ordinary sentences and use capitals correctly (such as capitalizing beginning of sentences or proper nouns), you can make your message less obvious. Each proper sentence starts with a capital letter, after all. You can also cheat by using a name at some point (Fred, for example), or even capitalize a small word under the pretense of emphasis (do something *OR* suffer a violent death). Your message is supposed to be picked up by the subconscious, not by somebody looking for the message. Only by hiding it carefully will it not be noticed. Unfortunately, a cleverly disguised message will probably not be modded up by moderators.
I've only played a bit with virtual server 2005, but each virtual machine is given a virtual S3Trio64 video card (which does not have 3d support).
The graphics cards do not have to support virtualization because all hardware in a virtual system is virtual. It doesn't really exist. The system is just emulating how a given virtual hardware device would react.
I read about one of the other big virtual system that did allow you to use 3d hardware support, but that had to be assigned to a single virtual system and could not be shared.
On my first pass, i got "Nothing to see here, please move along". That seems the most appropriate response for slashdot. The page is already slashdotted, although i read a bit of it on the firehose and found the arguments to be silly.
Maybe if the moderators stopped rewarding posters for old, weathered jokes, others would be forced to try new jokes. It is because of this type of lame humor that we go without seeing something truly original.
The section i'm wondering about is (under exceptions):
(4) Nothing in subsection (1) or (2) prevents
(b) the use of a trade-mark by an owner or licensee of the trade-mark if an owner or licensee of the trade-mark used it before March 2, 2007 and the use subsequent to that date is in association with
(i) the same wares or services as those for which the trade-mark was used before that date,
(ii) the wares or services in respect of which it is registered under the Trade-marks Act, or
(iii) any other wares or services of the same general class as that for which it is registered or was, before that date, used;
Does this mean that the trademark suits against companies with "olympic" in the name will cease (as in the "olympic pizza" case)? If so, this legislation might actually place some limits onto the Olympic committee for a change.
I find that it is actually the combination of "Gold/Silver/Bronze" and "Medals" that is a bit disturbing. These medals have been sold by trophy stores forever. Its not just olympic sports that get awards.
I think there may be one good part of this though under "exceptions":

What i'm hoping this means is the mindless trademark suits against companies such as "olympic pizza" will be stopped by this legislation.
Microsoft has full prerogative in deciding what their OS does with regards to DRM.
Lets break it down a bit: 1. Normal users want to listen to music/watch movies on their computers 2. Music/movie industry is releasing DRM encoded movies/music.
Your (legal) choices: 1. Add support for these items 2. Do not add support for these items.
Choice 1 means your customers are able to access a service. Choice 2 means they can't. When the average user goes to compare, they will see that Vista lets them play their media provided by **AA companies, while Linux does not.
Just because an OS has a feature doesn't mean you have to use it. If you don't load DRMed media, you won't have to deal with it. If you don't use Vista/other compatible OS, you won't be able to play the media anyway. Then you'll have to go talk to the movie/music industry and tell them you can't access their stuff.
I know I am a minority, but for me Fair Use is a big issue. Sadly, the music industry has completely opened the doors to DRM on the desktop. Well, not on mine.
There, i corrected it for you. Its just like iTunes. Apple doesn't want DRM (see recent articles), but in order to get the music industry to agree to sell music online, it is a necessary evil.
I've heard rink rats for those who are always at the arena. Usually I'll hear 'gym rats' called juice monkeys (for the usual use of protein/juice drinks).
There's been several comments related to pusher/shover robots, the terrible secret of space, and "pak chooie unf". For those who don't know what these refer to, see the ICQ prank that started it and the flash animation/song inspired by it.
On my Rogers plan, inbound text messages (up to 2000, i think) are included regardless of your plan. You are only charged for outgoing messages.
Does Verizon charge for inbound text messages? If so, how much?
If Verizon does not charge for inbound text messages, then they are entitled to that cash because spam has annoyed their customers (damaging customer relationships) and added to their over air bandwidth costs.
Maybe the vulnerability they share is "that they both run in Windows".
That's a bit unnecessary. TFS(summary) even says "The vulnerability is not platform-specific, but these demonstrations are -- they work only on Windows systems."
I thought that "its a trap" would be more obvious.
In any case, this isn't a case of the 3e approach. All they did was install Postgres on windows and write up a step by step installation doc with a few tips discovered in the process. There is nothing on their interpretation of whether it is good or bad.

Nowhere in the tagging beta faq does it say that the main purpose of tags is for searching. It says "We don't know exactly how this will all work, and a lot of it really depends on you."
Just because a tag isn't popular doesn't mean you can't use it. I tend to use the tag 'lawsuit' for anything related to somebody suing somebody, although i don't usually see it pop up to the top.

You see, its very apparent to slashdot taggers that certain sea creatures are very useful in the mounting or operation of lasers.

Ok, that's all the programming toilet jokes I can think of. Somebody do some better ones. I can't think tonight.

The TFA says the bug is not OS specific. Linux users aren't usually 'regular users'.
Under this setup, does it work under IE?
Save the windows bashing for actual causes.
