I reported a MySQL security bug to a recent Slashdot front page and got a 'Thanks - looking into it'. Not sure it has been fixed yet. This gives me no right to publish it anywhere if you ask me. Not yet anyway.
I find web applications desperately primitive: they're no better than our time with terminals.
The client does barely any work. The work it does is trivial over-computation such as DOM trees and inernal representations. It would be so much more efficient if the GUI was sent in an efficient format to begin with. I never understood why people write web applications to dump repeating HTML with only small changes and force the client to re-parse it. (Unless browsers are smarter than I take them to be)
I've noticed this when I use classic mode and low bandwidth and small screen mode.
It doesn't happen in other modes. IMHO think it's a spacing issue in my web browser. Try a different browser and see if you still see 'Anonymous cowardon'
It could be a command wrapped in AJAX to or from the server, telling the client to open an application. We do not know the implementation so it's best we do not comment on it. DHTML command makes no sense.
An attacker has it easy if he doesn't have to reverse engineer or run a Flash (swf) file used to add to security maybe. (Keylogger evasion and the like)
(Not that I support Flash anywhere for anything necessary, it's just another layer of security through obscurity)

I used to run 100s of tabs at a time (up to 300 at one point) on a 1gb RAM machine. This is proof of how bad my browsing habits are but also shows that the only browser capable of this right now is Opera.
Try it in Firefox and your PC will definitely grind to a halt. If you need extensions, use Firefox.
Efficient, Extensible, Correct Pick two Firefox - Extensible & Correct Opera - Correct, Efficient
There is not the development community in Opera, despite supporting widgets.
The internet is not the web. I agree with him: the web has a massive noise to signal ratio. There are massive problems with spam, quality and advertising that reduce its effectiveness.
I would rather read a text book on a subject than use the web. What about you?
When ISPs start capping to the level of poor performance, I presume that Opera will use its already implemented BitTorrent implementation to keeps files downloaded by your friends distributed amongst them.
It seems Opera is well designed for this sort of thing. Imagine chatting over IRC with your firends using a build-in IRC daemon - with each friend being a split in the server. It's ingenius.

It's sad that suing is so damaging to someone's financial situation. It shouldn't.
If someone is objectively wrong, why can't they be punished?
Joomla is very simple software to use.
All you need to know about Joomla is:
I'm surprised there is enough material to make a book on Joomla.
My point is that even with all my basics down, how do you become a better programmer?
Most programming exercises I have no idea where to begin.
If you're interested in programming contests, you might enjoy the USACO programming contest.

My problem with most contests is that the material is too difficult. I did the first exercise and haven't attempted the second yet.
Wait, so if you write a game, make a digital picture and I start selling it as if it's mine,
that's not stealing?
This is ridiculous if you think it is not.
I have seen you on c2.com or at least a link to your SCGUI work and was impressed.
Your perspective on GUIs mirrors my own and I agree with you! Would employ you in a heart beat If I were an employer!
The Anti-Sec folks won't like this!

I have Tomato on my outward inner router but this doesn't seeem to be affected as it's based on Linksys' own firmware.
I have the non-wireless version of this router (BEFSR41)
Does anyone know if affects that too?

Wow, is that why? That's an intelligent security system.
I've noticed this when I use classic mode and low bandwidth and small screen mode.
It doesn't happen in other modes. IMHO think it's a spacing issue in my web browser. Try a different browser and see if you still see 'Anonymous cowardon'
Is that 64% of the time overall then?
What is the most complex algorithm you have used and what language is it in?
I suck at mathematics and barely passed in in CS and also program to a reasonable standard.
However mathematics WILL make you a better programmer.

It kind of makes sense doesn't it?

Mod parent up if this is what he meant.
I have no mod points and just want to say how interesting your post was. Thank you for sharing.
Guys, I'm trying to decide what to post:
[ ] Downplay how serious flaw is ...or we could RFA
[ ] Compare to Window's track record
[x] Make a meta-reference to Slashdot psychology
[ ] Post work-around that doesn't fix problem
[ ] Say that flaw is a feature

[ ] Claim that the more popular gets, Linux will be targeted more
[ ] Pretend I understand the problem

You will love a game called Noctis. (SCII is one of my favourite games and agree with you there)
A SCII/Noctis hybrid would be awesome although I prefer a fixed sized universe.

Dude, games aren't streamed graphics...

Although not my spelling of the word ingenious.
In the UK, they begin capping your connections.
When ISPs start capping to the level of poor performance, I presume that Opera will use its already implemented BitTorrent implementation to keeps files downloaded by your friends distributed amongst them.
