Of 5 CD & DVD drives I've bought in the last few years, 2 failed just after the 1-year warranty period. These are drives that saw moderate use in a home environment.
It's nearly two years ago that Whirling Dervishes said they'd found these secret functions and promised to release documentation on them. But I can't find any documentation or specific info on their web site.
I saw the same thing the other day. A couple of non-eBay URLs in a set of Google results were redirected to the same eBay page. I didn't look at the cached pages though, I just assumed it was a deliberate redirect.
The competitors are not using anyone else's trademarks in their ads (as I understand it). Google is placing their ads in pages that use someone else's trademark.
Like Chrysler buying ads in a TV program that mentions Ford. Is that illegal?
(And by the way it has nothing to do with copyrights. This is about trademarks.)
They're not worried so much about someone breaking into the system, as they are about the computers simply crashing due to a bug in the patch. No way a firewall can help with that.
It has happened before. A recent Windows patch broke some of my company's software. Fortunately, our software doesn't control medical equipment, so no-one died.
My first Apple came with a listing of the ROM code. By adopting "the tactics and ethics of a hacker" I was able to modify it to do cool stuff like printing text on the graphics screen.
It's easy to predict traffic correctly 90% of the time. Traffic jams tend to occur at rush hour on certain roads. You can predict the traffic 90% of the time just using a clock.
The other 10%, when traffic jams occur unexpectedly, is the hard part. But it's what people need to know.
Java code is only safe if there are no security holes in the runtime sandbox that's supposed to prevent rogue Java code from harming the system. A number of such security holes have turned up, in both the Sun and Microsoft VMs.
You can get info about these problems by searching for "java" at cert.org. The most recent one I found was patched last month.
The decision of the Utah Court of Appeals, which was also reported on Groklaw, says that there was a secret agreement that Canopy would sue Microsoft. Novell and Canopy were simply fighting over which of them should pay the cost of Canopy's suit against Microsoft.
If popularity breeds vulnerability, Apache should have far more vulnerabilities than IIS. It doesn't.
Apache has plenty of vulnerabilities, judging by the patch readmes over the last year or so. I don't know why they haven't been exploited. Fashion? Lazy hackers? Really diligent hackers at apache.org catching them first?
Actually, my program wasn't fooled by the example I gave above, because that message contained actual spam text as well as random words. I've had a problem with spam that contains nothing but random garbage and one IMG tag. Sometimes those messages get filtered out based on the header text, sometimes not.

I never had a problem with my KT333 board.
Of course, it was running Windows.

Or is that violating some kind of "contract" too now?
Technically that's not right either because ash is the Adventure Shell!
Here's what one of your members of Congress says:
Hey, why not just stop all the clocks at noon permanently?
I'm sure they didn't drink it from Boston Harbor either.

If you're worried that you might be increasing traffic to some other site, wouldn't your number one action to be to not link to that site?
They could have been telling hunter jokes in the woods.
IIRC, the "Windows sound" in Windows 95 was composed by Brian Eno. (I remember seeing his name in the file properties.)

Those were the days.

I'll believe it when I see it running my car. Actually, I probably won't believe it even then.
Peter Fonda's, in the movie "Easy Rider".
It looks like one of these with a lot of plastic cladding stuck on.
