    Not if they're copy protected. Breaking copy protection is a violation of the DMCA.

    Interestingly, KDE claims Konqueror 3.5 passes Acid2. See http://www.kde.org/announcements/visualguide-3.5.p hp

    You can still put IE Inside (tm). See IE Tab extension. I know I do, but only for those Websites that suck.

    It fails, as does Opera, and, even more miserably, IE. See a comparison screenshot.

  5. Re:Proof of Concept on Unpatched IE Flaw Extremely Critical · · Score: 1
    Same thing here, except no Asian characters. Using IE6. When On-Access Scan was running, McAfee picked up:
    bug[1].htm - JS/Exploit-BO.gen - deleted
    fillmem[1].htm - JS/Exploit-BO.gen - deleted
    fillmem[2].htm - JS/Exploit-BO.gen - deleted
    Script executed by iexplore.exe - JS/Exploit-BO.gen - script execution blocked.
    It simply crashed Firefox 1.5RC3.
    McAfee's AVERT Website says:
    This detection was modified to cover a 0-day "Window()" remote code execution exploit. The change is represented in the 4633 DAT release. This is a non-specific, generic, detection of script code that intends to exploit various buffer overflow vulnerabilities (such as those that are known to exist in Microsoft Internet Explorer). Due to the fact that Internet Explorer executes script prior to writing it to disk (IE Cache), McAfee VirusScan's ScriptScan must be enabled in order to block this exploit prior to execution on the desktop with the On Access Scanner.

  6. Re:Whatever on What's New With IE, Firefox, Opera · · Score: 1

    I used to have that (lots and lots of crashes when I try to open GMail), but I upgraded to FF1.5RC3 and all my crashes seem to have gone away. If you're leary about RC/beta software, just wait; apparently FF1.5 is being released final today.

    We're trying to figure out if it's even possible without unbelievable costs here at Davidson College, and the (some of) faculty is resisting like there's no tomorrow. We're trying to get the word out to students, but there's no voice for civil liberties yet. We already do next to nothing when we get C&Ds.
    I know for a fact we're not CALEA-compliant today. And I'm trying to spread the word to create resistance.
    (Oh, and The Davidsonian's front page headlines this week: "Student pulls knife at Warner," "Students robbed in satellite parking lot," and "Town makes plans for transit rail to Charlotte.")

    Yep. Same thing happened to me in Winnipeg, Manitoba when I was on my way to Chicago. I pre-cleared US Immigration and Customs in Winnipeg.

  9. Re:7E7 on Airbus Launches 800 Passenger Jumbo Jet · · Score: 1

    Airbus came later; they can do that. 747 and 737 systems are much older than 777 systems, so there's no way Boeing could have standardized them, unless they wanted to standardize to old techology. Making new systems for the 747s and 737s is an option (and will happen as Boeing creates the "next generation 737s"), but then pilots will have to be trained and differentiations would need to be made between old-generation and new-generation of the same model.

  10. Re:Lemme get this straight... on Cutting Through a Wi-Fi Traffic Jam? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you built a Faraday cage to block 2.4GHz signals, though, you'd end up with incredibly awful cell phone (800MHz and 1900MHz) reception. Wireless is wireless, though on different spectrum bands...
