This is a flaw in Reddit's comment system, that allows the poster to get javascript code executed. A comment system should not allow you to use "onhover" that is the point.
By the time this lawsuit has gotten though the legal system you will have forgotten why you bought the router and/or it will have died... proceed with the boycott
I work for the Geek Squad and we have had something like this for a while. It is called Customizer and will automatically do all the patches, including doing restarts between waves of patches. We use it on new computers, after restores, and spyware/virus removal.
Actually you made me think of an interesting point, if M$ wants the vendor to produce an summary of the permissions necessary for a program to run, would it be possible to have the program reduce it's own permissions to have the minimum necessary. For instance if you open IE as an administrator IE could immediately reduce its permissions to the absolute lowest level possible, this WOULD help quite a bit.
The only way I could see this working (and it may seem excessive) is to by default remove the log in privilege when making an account an administrator. The hope being that people smart enough to give themselves back the permission will use the account responsibly when logged in, and the not-so-smart people will need to live with typing in the admin user and password every time they need to use the privileges. Hopefully the amount of complaining this would cause will provide the necessary impetus for vendors to write decent programs. But M$ likely won't be that mean.
The survey says:
55% of searchers say about half the information they search for is important to them and half is trivial.
28% of searchers say most of the information they search for is important to them.
17% of searchers say most of the information they search for is trivial.
But which category do they think pron searches fall into?
does just what it is supposed to do, nothing. you mean no useful codes is bug free.:)
Seriously though what I think is the most telling is how worked up everyone is getting, really when was the last time someone got suprised because "IE has 493 unpached critical vulnerabilities that allow a malicious hacker full control of you machine"?
But that is the silliest thing about these DRM schemes, they prevent most users from copying but most users don't copy they download a file to watch, it is the few who are the ones who do the actual ripping and they will have the knowledge and desire to circumvent these schemes. In the end nothing changes.
Well why would you want to use VNC when you have Microsoft's Remote Desktop built into XP pro. They are just taking away the competition, next they will do Firefox.
In all seriousness VNC has been used as a backdoor tool for viruses before, and i don't think this is the first time a spyware tool has tried to remove it.

Delete all these comments before Jack reads them or you are totally getting sued!

"Radio Scrap". My dad had a very low opinion of their computers, everyone remembers when they made them right...
Using a blacklist to enforce a whitelist? Somehow this seems logically flawed..
What was the tweet that did it?
So... how do you go the other way?
Oh you don't have ad-block plus then. We sometimes forget there are still people that don't.

Hold it, are you saying that IMB has patented a way to make people hat notes even more?
So almost exactly like creating a filter to block bit torrent under the pretense of stopping child porn?

You do realize she was talking about the shortcomings of a VCR had when she used that example. She used a dated example for dated tech.
You just need to activate the alien device and the whole atmosphere will change in like two seconds! (Total Recall... gotta love bad Sci Fi movies)

Either yes or it is in fact a phantom site.
Damn I knew posting something like that would have a bug... however it will compile, it just shouldn't.
Of course the is bug free code for instance
:)
void main (void){}
does just what it is supposed to do, nothing. you mean no useful codes is bug free.
