Even if they don't release the patch for Google Chrome, Google Chrome users are still fully protected.
All of these exploits in Adobe products is why everyone is coming out with their own PDF viewers or sandboxing the hell out of Adobe Flash.
Google Chrome has it right, wrap Adobe Flash in the same nearly impenetrable sandbox that the browser itself is wrapped in. The Google Chrome sandbox has proven time and time again that no matter what exploit is found in the browser, the sandbox has rendered them completely useless to do anything really bad to the surrounding operating system. Three years running as the reigning champion at Pwn2Own!
Oh God, the ending of that show. I remember watching that and as it cut from the signing scene, my jaw just dropped and then I went on with a string of swear words as I cursed the producers to hell.
Wesley Crusher was for all intents and purposes, a Marty Stu (male version of Mary Sue). If you look up Gene Roddenberry you'll notice that his middle name was "Wesley". Wesley Crusher was a self-insert for Gene.
Oh hell no! I love Deep Space Nine! It was the only series of Star Trek in which the characters felt as if they were real characters and once you could relate to.
Yes, it was a complicated series but if you watch the series from start to finish with no break in between, the series plot line makes sense.
And I don't know about you, but DS9 seems more real in the sense that it's more human. The characters deal with real issues, issues that we humans today deal with on a daily basis. Bigotry, racism, terrorism, war, etc. Seriously, I don't think humanity will ever be able to get over these issues but maybe that's my cynical nature coming through.
Wheneven you connect to the Internet via your ISP and they give you an IP address, they record the time you connected and your account username (or cable modem's MAC address which can be traced back to your billing account). All, all someone needs is your IP address and the time the offense took place (has to be a specific time frame) and all the ISP needs to do is look in their database of addresses they gave out and they have you.
Yeah, you could have an open WiFi router but usually the company attempting to sue you (*cough* RIAA, MPAA *cough*) doesn't care. They want their own twisted version of justice and they want money now. They don't care if you have an open WiFi router and that the neighbor may have downloaded music on your network, they see that your account was responsible for the act and they want money!
Yes but the majority of the people involved in Open Source software do it for the love of programming for Open Source software. But love of programming doesn't put food on the table, a roof over your head, or pay for replacement hardware when your power supply in your desktop decides to take a crap.
If you tell Internet Explorer 8 to run a web site in compatibility view, it will work just as it did in Internet Explorer 6. This is just an example of people being too fucking lazy and taking the easy way out.
Alright Jobs, so if your iPhone is so much better... than why doesn't every carrier have it? Let's be honest with ourselves, Apple chose AT&T which is really as far as the community is concerned, the worst wireless carrier in the history of wireless carriers. The iPhone would be a smash hit if every carrier had it, this includes T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint.
Also, you talk about your App Store being so great and available. What if I want an app that you denied? Oh yeah, I can't. With Android, I would be able to simply go to another marketplace to get it. Simple.
So before you start talking smack, look at yourself and see the flaws in your own setup and fix them first. People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
Yeah, and that's why the United States is lagging behind the world in Math and Sciences and slipping further and further behind. We have to stress as a nation that an education is paramount, not some stupid new rap CD or new music video on MTV.
The only one that I know of is PC-Check by Eurosoft UK. Loads as its own bootable program (OS-independent) and tests everything you can think of when it comes to a computer.
It would be better if it wasn't so huge

Perl 5.11.0 Released
·
· Score: 1, Interesting
Perl would be a whole lot better if the damn interpreter wasn't so freakin' huge and didn't take almost fifty MBs of RAM to load. 50 MBs isn't that much to speak of unless you're not running MOD_PERL and you have several Perl scripts running at the same time and your poor server is brought to its knees.
I don't think TiVo knows what kind of lawyers that they are about to go up against. Both AT&T and Verizon have legal teams that could take TiVo and shred them to pieces. Dish Network was easy to win against, AT&T and Verizon are going to be a lot harder to win against, that is if they even win.
I'd have to agree with you on that one because even on Windows, FireFox's (version 3.5.2) main thread is doing crap loads of context switches even when I'm not using it and have it minimized.
The latest release of BlackBoard used server-side Java. Apparently the team that wrote BB doesn't know how to clean up after themselves because my college ends up having to reboot the server and clean it up every one or two days.
It's easy, tell them you either upgrade now and be able to sleep soundly at night or you sleep lightly while worrying if their web site is going to have all of the user data stolen and then hacked to shreds.
I was able to take a PHP-powered web site and transition it from PHP4 to PHP5 with no issues whatsoever. I don't know what you guys are talking about.
Yeah, and when have you ever had a donation? Yeah, I know, you may receive a donation from maybe 1 in every 200 people but the rest are just leeching off of you.
Why does DRM exist? Simple. Because people are dishonest bastards and will rob you blind the first chance they get.
Produce a song? Yep, someone will come along download it and give it to all of his (or her) "friends". Meanwhile, did you get paid for all of your blood, sweat, and tears? Did you get paid for producing that song? Nope. That's why DRM exists, because people are dishonest.
Now, if all people were honest and paid for the things they like (and those said items were sold at a fair price) then we would not need DRM, but since people aren't... we have this shit.
Don't confuse me for an RIAA-shill, I'm just here to say it like it is. Don't like it? Tough! It's the truth. People suck. Am I cynical? Maybe.

An example on how to do this is here .
Yep, that's what I see as well.

This is a first! We invoked Godwin's Law on the first post! A world record!

Just goes to show you, no amount of programming code can prevent someone from doing something stupid. Stupid is as stupid does.
