Why go to work at all? I'm sure there will be a robot for that. You'll get paid out of the collective communism pot of wealth that also controls the robots
This bug is a bit of a non-issue. I think there are very few PHP scripts that take such a high value for input from an ordinary user in string format and if you want to bring down a web host there are plenty of other ways to make an infinite loop.
Yes each time someone access it will start an infinite loop, but each PHP page has a max. processing time (usually set to around 30 seconds). So still quite a number of requests to the offending page are needed to bring the server down.
To try the bug for yourself:
$a = (float) "2.2250738585072011e-308";
Maybe Bank of Ireland would be willing to help out Wikileaks. They are so broke they are not really in a position to care about where the money is going to
That it was ever illegal in the first place. That the supposedly democratically elected government would ever support the notion of a company retaining control of and restricting a device that they don't own anymore.
It's nice to have better integration between Facebook, Twitter, news feeds, search, and standard Web content on the desktop. But what's really needed right now is better integration between the desktop social Web and the mobile social Web
Its designed how they and possibly some other people use the web. There are plenty of people out there who don't give two shits about Facetube and Twitbook integration.
This is a very niche market, I don't see too many people using Flock either. This is, dare I say it a browser for Arts students.
But not India, Britain or some of the more authoritarian yet surprisingly first world countries out there, because they all demand access to encrypted traffic.
No really how is that different to someone hacking the email of the randomer next door or anyone else?
After all a candidate is only a candidate and anyone whose email is hacked can have their reputation ruined for the next job interview or anything else.
If she was an actual vice president you could possibly attach some national security element to this but even that's a stretch, and giving these people extra protection will just promote the idea of government secrecy, big brother "we need to see your communication but you can't see ours" kind of thing. and there is no doubt in my mind she wouldn't fully back any kind of new mass surveillance initiative.
All my unlocked triband and quadband phones work fine in the US with prepaid SIM cards. I even get 3G coverage on some of them.
I buy the SIM cards for $5 off ebay, shops do sell them but they try their hardest to sell me a 36 month contract even after I tell those dumfucks I'm only staying for 2 weeks.
I can imagine in a few years 3D printers will be capable of printing perfectly good weapons.
No doubt governments will try to force the printers to incorporate some sort of DRM that will make them refuse to print out a gun, and this will fail just like every other initiative that involves making equipment refuse to do what it's owner wants to use it for.

Are Thuraya satellite phones still working? Libya have been trying to jam these for a long time I believe, at least in areas close to Tripoli
orbcomm is a really low speed network used mostly for gathering data from remote sensors and tracking devices. not really comparable
Low earth orbit satellites are only a few hundred miles up, so ping isn't so much of a problem.
If it was based on open standards and software rather than some guy's proprietary system looking for venture capitalists.
I cant wait to see the day that scumbags like Vodafone and AT&T&T are no longer necessary
Wont.
In a 'pre-emptive removal of unknown exploits' similar to what Microsoft did when they released IE6.
Fortunately the overbite addon exists, but does not seem compatible with recent Beta versions.
It does help me. After 30 seconds it gives up.

Isn't that a bit like saying "Fruit and apples"?

Tought it was "Republicans create cider to stop net neutrality"
I'm thirsty now, made me want to get a bottle of Rekorderlig
Biofuels research you!

My Hughes 7101 supports GSM and thuraya satellite. Its unlocked too, and some networks have a roaming agreement with Thuraya

Then I wonder what punishment the guy who uncovered this has waiting for him.
And they'll mandate some sort of encryption to gain access lest anyone is able to use it for cracking DRM schemes.
Even now AMD engineers are busy at work making these features harder to get to lest Microsoft threatens to stop supporting AMD processors.
I don't know what kind of BS this article is.

But Wikipedia did, and they have done an excellent job
I lost my CherryPad
Twould make you want to twist their necks, wouldn't it?
