...considering tests have shown that newly connected computers are probed within a matter of minutes if not seconds. And of course your connection speed has no influence on whether or not that latest IE exploit hits you.
The only disadvantage broadband can have is some older games don't like NAT and will only properly work over dial-up. (And even this can be overcome with tools like Hamachi.)
BlackJapan is a good one. A couple other ones aren't on the Mozilla site and need to be Googled for:
Sky Pilot Classic is a nice theme I keep coming back to.
VistaFirefox has two skins... I like the "1.5.2" one better. Doesn't work with the 1.5.0.1 RC1 though, unless you force it to work with Nightly Tester Tools.
I feel the need to point out that there was a patch for Windows 3.11 File Manager issued some time in 1999 or something to fix a Y2K bug in the date renderer (it was rendering ':0' for 2000, for instance.
This is because it was doing (((year - 1900) % 10) + '0') to get the ASCII character to print, and year = 2000 gives (10 + '0') or ':'.
Yuo can reassign the drive letters in Windows XP's very well hidden partition manager (it's one of the MMC snap ins).
Non-HD drive letters can be reassigned in their Device Manager properties.
It would be awesomely funny if the admin was the one who blew the whistle on him... probably not tho. Still, it's fun to imagine his panic and "God I feel stupid" feelings right now,
All good counters won't count multiple hits from the same IP within a limited time period... like half an hour.
So if John Doe navigates to my page 5 times (he might be visiting sub pages and navigating back, and his browser isn't caching it properly), it will only record one hit as long as he doesn't take too long. Then I have an approximation of visitors. Otherwise it's a count of pages served to clients (which itself could be useful for other statistics).
i actually typoed that as "lies" originally... ironically it might just fit... anyways:
Jan Innes, a vice-president with Rogers Communications, confirmed that the company has an automatic fraud-detection system that flags suspicious calling patterns, but refused to say how it works. "We do not give out information that might help people get around the system," she said.
Translation: "Our system is not fool-proof, and we are aware it can be exploited, but are doing nothing to prevent it. We are instead crossing our fingers with the obscure hope that out of our thousands or millions of users, not one will stumble across an exploit. Security through obscurity!"
Thanks Rogers, I'll be sure to avoid you guys like the plague if I ever get a cell phone.
Oh they understood cause and effect, unfortunately. They understood they could raise as much hell as they wanted and their mother wouldn't lay a hand on them.
Tobacco products (I'm thinking of cigarettes and cigars specifically) have been shown to cause bodily harm when used for long periods of time. And the industry has known of this forever, yet they continue to market and sell their products.
For the other companies mentioned, the designed use of their product does NOT cause bodily harm, it's only when someone abuses them.
Firsly, make sure to grab the latest version 0.5.2.50, use google to track it down.
Secondly, it's only compatible up to 1.5 beta 1, but you can the Nightly Tester Tools extention to force it and other extentions to work with any version of Firefox (doesn't mean they'll run right, but most do).
I think the definition of a rootkit includes the fact that it's presence was not explicitly made known to the user, or the user was not asked whether it should be installed. Norton SystemWorks' Undelete functionality is probably going to be a feature the user will want and use.
does it make me weird that I liked that game? Well I wasn't terribly good, I could never get that far on anything higher than easy.
Come to think of it, I do recall it being buggy and sometimes it was impossible to finish. And ET opening his mouth to fly.... hmm
Ok now that I think about it, it sucked.
There was this one McDs I was at fairly recently (like... early this summer) that had a N64 with Pokemon Colloseum on it. Haven't been there since but I'd bet it's still there.
And here is the "exploit" in crunchy data: url form if you don't want to wait for slashdotted servers:

This explains it very simply and easily. Basically you have the backend deliver content on-demand, and the frontend is a single HTML page powered by JavaScript which queries the backend for the necessary data. Just like a desktop application.

Precisely my thoughts. This won't change anything except that mod chips for PCs will be made just as they are for consoles.

First, if it's a compressed binary, you'd have to figure out what util compressed it and then uncompress it.
Then, just grab a hex editor, find the UA string in the file, and patch it as needed (keep the length the same, tho, so you don't screw anything up).
You can skip the first step, and go back to it only if you fail to find the UA string (because then it's probably compressed).
That's what the article said. .83 CENTs, not DOLLARs.
No it's .83 of a CENT, not a dollar.

No more than it's legal for you to walk into an antique shop and take whatever you want. Any patents are long gone on that stuff.

Yes, I can see it now.

1.5 is a BETA version which Mozilla only recommends bleeding-edge types and extention developers use.
