what exactly are you talking about? noscript lets you select which sites you want to allow and block,
better than the default... allow scripts on every website i visit
Id be more inclined to believe the real issue is, they have all that money... yet what real advances have we seen in windows in the past 10 years?
GUI improvements? basic security advances?
opensource seems to be keeping up, yet the billions MS has.. and they cant belt the crap out of free apps?
Windows (XP/Vista atleast) can't be trusted with a swapfile, I noticed this the moment I put 2gig of ram in my system (years ago)... yet for some reason Windows still felt the need to page everything when only 500meg was in use.
Now with 3gig and the problem hasn't changed, windows seemingly keeps as much ram free as possible, just incase it needs it... which it never does because its always paging everything:)
Turn off your pagefile, reboot your pc and you'll notice an immediate difference in performance.
as for FreeBSD, it doesn't appear to use it til its outta physical ram
have a nice day
Actually you could also look at it as
"We are going to sell this info to whoever comes asking for it, until its patched at which time its no longer valuable and therefor there is no reason to sell it"
Real should get their butts into gear and find the bug themselves (time/money) or pay the guy for the work he has done (time/money)
"Can you pay a locksmith to open someone elses house for you? Can you pay him to show you how so you can do it yourself?
Of course not."
Why not? You can't expect us to believe that every locksmith on the planet is law abiding/ethical... And surly your not saying that someone can't teach another person a new skill?
TV ruins imaginations, as well as memories and perception of the world...
I've been watching some friends kids grow up over the past few years, the mother puts them infront of the TV all the time. They have short attention span, they have really bad memories and I doubt they even have an imagination. Sure the eldest is only 6, but by 5 i was typing basic programs into the C64 from the manual;)
And just to get back on topic for a second, my dad had "sex games" on the c64/amiga/pc for as long as I can remember. He never tried to really hide them from me, just assumed I didn't know what they where. But I played them from as long I can remember, I used to play strip poker 3 on the amiga all the time when i was 9. Personally I think it did me more good than hiding it from me...
Most, if not all, of my friends have a strong sex drive, all the time. something which I don't really care about (I recall reading somewhere being exposed to that sort of material at a young age was meant to make you sex wild??), all of them had parents who did their best to hide sex from them until the schools taught it (age 12,15 here)
They should arrest him, after all the stories I've read on here about people finding security holes and reporting them, then finding themselves in lawsuits for damages....
Then this this kid comes along and wastes $84 million worth of taxpayer dollars!!
The Howard government should be disgraced with itself
All i got was a message saying "Click here to download this plugin"
i guess you need java for this to work? opps:)
funny too, my university swore to me the online site wouldn't work without java... yet i've never had a single problem, even the file uploader works.
not while everyone "knows" how much BS big brother and all that is:)
and id say its pretty safe to agree with you the NSA/ANYONE IN THE WORLD can break into windows, hell, kids using google can track down a usable exploit with shellscript in a few minutes. imagine what a well trained research team could track down over a few years, especially if they could examine the original source code:)
don't have time to read the article, but if it could keep track of the installed version and notify the user of updates (for apps that dont already support it). even download the available update
I *was* running vista on this machine here (inspiron 6400), I also noticed copying files is extremely slow,
But the biggest problem I have is that the operating system is not stable!
it constantly randomly locked up, no mouse movement, and caps lock wouldnt turn off or on... not only that after it did that it would do it on boot another 3 times on average, then sometimes when it would let me back into windows the SYSTEM process (nt kernel) would chew 50% of CPU time (dual core system)
no apps open and a hard power off is all thats possible when it gets like this (mutex lock i was thinking?)
So you think slow copying of files is an issue... hahahahaha.. dream on;)
I also noticed the 2time i formatted, vista didnt install drivers for NIC, sound, wireless, video (x1400) or the modem... 1st and 3rd time it installed all of them.
Whats more, when i decided i was going back to XP, it crashed 5 times while I was trying to copy my files back off it. The most interesting thing about this, is that it was stable for the first few days... and sometimes it would be stable for 24hours or so, then just start crashing again. It never seemed to do it on the same apps.
Just another part of the Windows Vista experience!
Thank you microsoft!!
Screen is great, another good use of it is when your remotely doing a compile and your internet connection goes down. Rather than have to restart the build, you just resume your screen session and the compile is either still going or is completed:)
It's also good in the sense you can move away from the terminal filling up with lines and lines of files being compiled. Handy if your on a slow connection.
Even if you deadlock all the doors to your house from the inside, you can always smash a window.
You can also put bars on the windows, which can always be sawn off...

This must be a windows/macos problem then! If they hadn't loaded Firefox, Firefox couldnt of loaded Quicktime!
Yeah, its kinda surprising this is news... it would appear pretty obvious if he could walk in, so could anyone else who connected, including china :)

lucky, Microsoft writes some the most widely used exploitable code on the planet :)

Thank you microsoft!!
they are sold as different products, you cant just go and get a patch for office xp to make it office 2003
Not likely, in 20 years we wont have enough oil to fly lol
