IIS. 17 Advisories, comprising 17 Vulnerabilities. 1 Unpatched. Apache still loses, especially considering Apache 2.2.0 is actually 3 years newer than IIS 6.
In the real world, users don't configure these things (and on every phone I've ever seen, cannot). The phone uses all the frequencies it can and the SIM card specifies which network can be connected to.
Text messaging costs money to provide, so calling it free is disingenuous. But then, I have to call you out on that point on every single Slashdot story which mentions cellphone companies, so I'm not going to bother explaining it again. It'll take me like 15 minutes to write the post, and then you'll just dismiss it with a wave of your hand and go off about text messages being free to provide on the next story.
The cost of text messaging is the abomination, not that they charge for it at all.
Actually, some addons will still not load even with compatibility reporter enabled. The Cooliris addon, for example, simply displays "This addon is not compatible with ". Amusingly, it still gives you the option to report that it still works (despite the fact that Firefox/Aurora/Nightly have forcibly disabled it).
It isn't. The requirement from the CA Forum is that to issue an EV certificate, they require a signed contract, validation of corporate identity via a trusted third party directory (Dun and Bradstreet) and at least a phone call to the number obtained from D&S (never the one provided by the applicant). For banks, I have heard it requires even more validation. That's even from the discount providers.
Any CA that issued an EV cert without all that would find themselves stripped of their membership and probably lose their Trusted Root status in the Big Browsers (who are also CA Forum members).
The whole point of his post is so that the ISP does not have access to the unencrypted email message. Using their MTA completely misses the bloody point.
"DLL's specifically related to IE" are the rendering engine, Trident. Every modern OS (even Linux) has a rendering engine bolted in that you collapse the UI if you remove. KDE has KHTML. OS X has WebKit. Chrome OS takes it one step further and collapses if the browser is removed. Also, Messenger != Live Messenger. The built in Messenger service is actually a hangover from Novell Netware days, and was included so that you could send "pop up" messages between NT and Netware users.
Yes, Windows reacts poorly if you try to remove Trident - it's fine if you remove Internet Explorer. Just like KDE reacts poorly if you try to remove KHTML - it's fine if you try to remove Konqueror. And OS X reacts poorly if you try to remove WebKit - it's fine if you try to remove Safari.
Nah, they'd get sued by Adobe for not including theirs.
Remember, Microsoft are a popular target for lawsuits. If I recall correctly around the Vista release they had to re-introduce a defect in the Windows Kernel just because Symantec were using that defect to hook up their anti-virus and was threatening to sue because they fixed it.
I actually stumbled upon a MacDefender "downloader site", do you know what it did? It showed a website that looked vaguely like a Finder window with a small "ZOMG VIRUSESSES!!!!11one" popup in the middle while it forced a download of the installer. Had I then actually run the installer it would still have required me to actively install MacDefender. Yeah, it's still malware but those making this out to be some elaborate technical super-virus need to have their heads checked, it's a simple trojan.
Dude, that's exactly how all the Windows trojans get installed too. Except they use Explorer windows or animated GIFs of Windows Defender showing viruses.
That doesn't sound like a random attack in the wild to me. Compare that to MS servers sitting in a room somewhere minding their own business with absolutely no human interaction. They get hacked if you just wait long enough
microsoft.com is a gigantic Sharepoint installation, and I think I've seen that get hacked a grand total of ONCE, ever.
Also, the way I see it, by selling it then you're profiting off the people that would have legally purchased the product (in this specific instance, it tanks the "but they wouldn't have bought it anyway" defence) which means that is actually a lost sale, so you actually are stealing the revenue from that sale. Even if they're being sold for less than the retail price, it means that the person did associate a value with that and the producer actually had an opportunity to sell to that person, which was taken away.
You'll also have to write off iD Software too, as they are owned by the same parent company, ZeniMax Media. It's ZeniMax pursuing all these ridiculous cases (including sending a DMCA notification to Mozilla for hosting Javascript Doom, despite that JS Doom is based on GPL source code and used the Shareware WAD files available for free from iD).
Excellent. I'd love to see a company sue itself. I was waiting for SCO to do it, but it appears they never got around to it (despite SCO blatantly violating the SCO copyrights). I have seen a territorial authority do it though.
Bear in mind, it's probably not Bethesda but their scumbag parent company ZeniMax. The same ZeniMax that DMCA'd Mozilla because Mozilla had Javascript Doom on their webpage (and they just had the Shareware WAD files! It's not like they were distributing anything you couldn't get from pretty much anywhere).
HL7, CDA, and a national private network. Problem solved. Yes, it'll be expensive - but you don't need to "define" anything because everything you need is defined already.
In case you're wondering, I just described New Zealand's entire health system. The central government holds the demographic record, and your GP holds the medical record. Obtaining that record is a simple matter of requesting it from the GP that holds it, who will then deliver it to you via the national health network and it's received in minutes. Not exactly a stretch to change that into YOU holding your record on some sort of card (preferably not RFID).
That's all how it's meant to work of course. Since people are involved, it's not failsafe.
Actually, the worst part is that healthcare IT has very good specifications already. In fact, all the standards needed to implement a system like this with maybe half a million pounds (initial buildout - scaling would of course cost more) exist. HL7, CDA, and multitudes of other specs already solve all the problems with storing EMRs, and there's several solutions already from some big name vendors already to solve the problem (where I work, we use Agfa).
Actually, if you tried to tell Google that, they'd look at you funny. Then after thinking about it a while, they'd say "ooohhhh, you're illiterate! How precious! You need to talk to Amazon about that, they're the guys you're selling through".
Slashdot Mirror
Apache. 22 Advisories, comprising 40 Vulnerabilities. 2 Unpatched.
IIS. 6 Advisories, comprising 6 Vulnerabilities. 0 Unpatched. To be fair to Apache, which has been stuck at 2.2.x for some time, I'll even merge IIS 6 with IIS 7. That makes it...
IIS. 17 Advisories, comprising 17 Vulnerabilities. 1 Unpatched. Apache still loses, especially considering Apache 2.2.0 is actually 3 years newer than IIS 6.

Fucking brick walls, I swear it.
I've always used Right Click > View Page Source anyway, since it's more iframe-friendly.

Adobe does the same - they have a page on their website telling you the correct usage of the word Photoshop. Including gems similar to:
Wrong: I am going to Photoshop this picture.
Right: I am going to use the popular Photoshop® image editor to edit this picture

It also offers you posts that have not been moderated prior.
Well, if it's referring only to things in Infrastructure mode, the BSSID would uniquely identify it would it not?
You can use the BSSID though.
