Its been standard in Mac OS for Stuffit Expander to automatically extract archives once downloaded. Isn't this issue related more to Stuffit Expander than IE?
Absolutely not as a quick perusal of the article would have shown you.
IE does the decoding and execution by itself, completely bypassing Stuffit.
Basically they built an unstuffer into IE and then hideously fucked up by setting it to execute.
Stuffit only automatically unstuffs the file. They had the sense not to have files execute without allowing you to scan them first as any sane company would have done.
And what does "somewhat opposite mean? Not my comment, but my interpretation would be this:
With a number say... x, -x would be its opposite
let y=x
then y (or -y) would be "somewhat opposite" assuming that your looking at it like the x-y plane
It's not opposite exactly, but it's far from parallel.
It seems to me that the law would correct this for you
Perhaps it would, but not quick enough for my creditors. If I am going to get my car repossesed, evicted from my apartment and my credit rating thrashed because of someone else's fuck ups, then I am obligated to protect myself.
This is obviously just an act of revenge which is not ethical by any means. If it is not ethical.. then you should not do this.
It is *not* revenge in the case where the money is yours to begin with. Ethically it is perfectly right. Legally it is shady. Two very different things.
soo let's see... my job, I feel, is not paying me enough. So I should start stealing to bring my income back up to what I think it should be?
Nice strawman, troll.
Not "what you think it should be", but what they agreed in writing to give you.
See the difference?
This "I'm entitled" mantra is a great excuse to be anti-social...
I am entitled to be paid at the agreed rate for work I already did.
Here's a good idea. Why don't you come and clean my house for free? Gee, why not? Your argument is that you should although you owe me nothing.
I disagree. If a company owes me money for work I've already done and they've already been paid for and they refuse to pay me, then by taking assets equal to the amount I am owed Everything is made right.
No one owes anyone anything at this point. Now the law doesn't see it this way, but it is still right.
It is different if you have been paid what you are owed and then laid off.
If you owe the IRS money, they will take it out of your paycheck. Same exact thing here. The only difference is you don't have the power of the IRS on your side, so your actions would be classified as illegal.
(aside from people who are profiting off of this mess CNN, Ellison, etc..)
The totally scary profiteering thing from this is the airline industry.
They just got $15 billion from the federal government to prevent bankruptcies, turmoil etc. and at the same time they have fired over 100,000 people. Isn't this what the money is supposed to prevent?!?
Throwing money at the problem is necessary at a time like this, but do it with some sense. Have a firing freeze for a change. If routes are reduced, then maybe airline employees will work fewer hours,
which might give them time to spend the paychecks they are still getting thus helping the economy.
So 100,000 people at say $50,000 a year average (a guess, but fairly informed my dad is a pilot and my step mom is a flight attendant) is $5 billion a year they're saving as a result of these layoffs.
This plus $15 billion from the government *and* jack up the unemployment rate with a lot of people who have limited skills in any other industry?!?
My prediction is that the airlines will have record profits given this income and the lowered costs and the execs will all have huge bonuses.
I am not saying that the industry doesn't need some help right now. I have no problem at all with the government paying to replace the planes that were lost in this tragedy. I also have no problem with an aid package for the industry, but have a little sense and do it in a way that will help the economy rather than do more damage to it in multiple ways.
Require no layoffs without cause or no money.
The conspiracy thing is consistent, but you can't say things like the above without explaining.
If you're talking about the Chinese embassy, then accident or not it doesn't qualify. Keep in mind, this was war, not SOP.
Bullshit.
Nor was it flamebait as it was moderated.
I was in no way trying to justify what Mengele did. Merely point out that we (being the allies) did take the results of his sick experiments and use them.
This is a statement of a fact in a non inflammatory manner.
but your inane comment about how research jumped ahead by 100 years because of Mengele's research was just plain dumb.
This comment is a troll and flamebait.
words like "inane" and "dumb" with no attempt at providing any justification makes it flamebait.
The fact that you are apparently unaware of the tremendous leap ahead in medical science provided by our decision to use the experimental data rather than destroy it yet talk as if you do have a clue about it makes it a troll.
We would still not have organ transplants, many techniques in various types of grafts etc. without taking this data since none of the tests he did could heva been done anywhere else. (Thankfully.)
but you're not going to get anywhere using Mengele as an example.
This makes you a close-minded fool.
The point I made was that we have, in the past, taken the results of horrific things and tried to gain some benefit from them after the fact.
Nowhere did I say that it was a good thing that Mengele did the things he did.
Nowhere did I try to justify his actions.
If you are too fucking stupid to understand that and close your mind at the mention of a certain name, then do us all a favor and don't display your ignorance.
And definitely don't call me dumb because you refuse to listen to what it was that I did say and try to put your own words in my mouth.
Not true.
You probably meant, "Not everyone who believes in god is a whacko".
This could be debated, of course. Tell people he talked to you personally and you will get put away whether or not he actually did.
that will assure that no other Dr. Mengele will ever arise.
Funny you should mention this. Medical science leaped ahead a hundred years at least because of Mengele's research. Most people were horrified about what was done, but we didn't let that stop us from using his research.
If you consider a few cells a life, then it's "sacrifice" shouldn't be allowed to be in vain either.
(or Overflow in Visual Basic!?! - how retarded is that???)
Basic infinite mathematics, Chapter 1:
Let x be any real number.
x/0 = infinity.
Infinity will be larger than any register, variable, datatype, RAM,etc. used in modern computers; as well as the storage and network capacity of the entire internet.
Hence whatever you try to store it in, it will overflow.
Well, according to Bill Gates himself, NT has an average uptime of 4 days.
Granted, this was announced by him during the 2000 release party, but you can't get more authoritative than that.
Strange how that statement translates to me as: "We lied about everything we told you about our previous products, but *now* we have something that works. Also you should fire everyone involved in getting your company to use our products".
And they say Steve Jobs has a reality distortion field.
First of all, surely minors are entitled to the same protections from, for example, police brutality, the right to bear arms...
First, (This isn't a flame just making sure we're on the same page since you're not American and maybe not even a native English speaker) we're not protected from the right to bear arms, join militias etc. the protection is from police brutality. The others are rights we are granted.
Minors do not have these rights. I'm pretty sure that you have to be 18 to own a gun. Minors really do have few, if any rights, under the constitution.
If it were, you would belong to a possibly infinite number of religions.
Check this out:
There exists an invisible slug that can fly.
I provide no proof for this idea and further I state that any test you do to find it is also doomed to failure. Why? Because!
If you do not accept this as truth then that is a religious belief on your part.
Seems kind of silly, huh?
Someone postulating a belief doesn't make me religious for not accepting it.
Until I brought up the subject of the slug, there was no reason for you to have ever considered it. Just because I did doesn't create any sort of obligation on your part to lend my belief any sort of credibility especially not by not considering it.
For a more concrete example do you believe in Athena?
If you do, that's a religion, if you don't that still is?!?
*Everyone* is born an atheist. Only through being told certain things and accepting them with no proof can that change.
Otherwise they are prohibiting the free exercise of religion
Unless your religion specifically *requires* you to practice it on school grounds or during school hours (perhaps islamic students would have an argument here given the 7? times a day praying) they aren't prohibiting the free exercise. There are at least a couple places specifically set up for this sort of activity. Schools are set up for training people to think (supposedly). Not for engaging in rituals of belief systems which often actively campaign for destroying the rights of certain other groups (gays, any even barely different religion etc.) who are also required by law to attend the same schools.
Not to *differ* exactly, but pretty much any other club that meets at school has no other place to meet.
There is an extremely large infrastructure dedicated to religion in various forms in any town in almost any country in the world.
I wouldn't say that this in and of itself should exclude a certain group from being given access to resources, but given how freaking limited the resources are in education in America anyway; giving priority to almost any other sort of club doesn't seem unreasonable.

and see that they go where they belong. I mean seriously, I've seen lot's of sites with a domain name which I thought was some other much more popular site which had a small link at the bottom saying something to the affect of: If you're looking for such and such they're actually located here.
It's just common courtesy provided it isn't a competitors site.
So what you do is set up a script to pull each individual Code Red transaction out of your logs and send an email to support@microsoft.com with a message similar to the following:
A user at IP address x.x.x.x was trying to contact you and got my IP address by mistake. I know how important the needs and desires of your customers are to Microsoft, so I was certain you would want to know about this as soon as possible.
Your response is basically true, but it leaves something out.
The reason that the drug lords have so much power is that their product is illegal.
If it were legalized, then it would be grown other places much more cheaply as well as synthetic variants being available. The cartels would be castrated by this. They are the number 1 proponents of keeping it illegal.
I just had a thought reading this. In real terms Linux is a hacker OS, but in media scare terms, like a big paranoid bank would use, windows is the only hacker OS.
Seriously, how many major viruses/worms/trojans etc. were written using anything but windows in recent years? Well..ok the recent DOS attacks were on Solaris, but other than that, I can't think of any.
This seems like a strange juxtaposition. The media and/or paranoid banks call Linux a "hacker OS" using the/. approved meaning of hacker i.e. one who knows computers well but their typical usage of the term "hacker" should be almost universally applied to some people who are using windows.
Not too insightful, but it struck me as curious.
