According to wikipedia, the greenland ice sheet, if fully melted, will raise global sea level by 7.2 meters (23.6 feet). This would put large portions of many coastal cities underwater.
Fortunately, there are other factors that should mitigate this, such as increased mass of the antarctic ice sheet due to increased moisture levels. See sea level rise.
Between 2005-09-03 and 2005-09-06, there were several bugs reported to Mozilla that are now marked hidden. Expect one of them to become visible now that this is announced. (note: bugzilla blocks slashdot referer, so cut&paste is needed, watch out for the extra space)
BTW, why is it necessary that so many bug reports be hidden? They can't all be valid security bugs, can they? Besides, full disclosure and an open development model go hand-in-hand.
2) use my preferred approach: fix your clients' copies of the program, and otherwise keep quiet. Consider it a competitive advantage when the next Apache/SSH/PHP worm hits.
That's not very neighborly of you. Many other people can benefit from that knowledge and yet you use it to your own advantage, and don't even let the rest of us know we are vulnerable?
300 baud pulse dialing modem on my Apple//e.. that only worked with a 40-column text all-caps terminal program.. no ansi, no vt100 emulation, just a dumb terminal. What joy.. and I was so behind the times..everyone had 2400 baud modems. Hah!
You're talking about catching a wild animal, performing major surgery, then returning it to the wild.
Not quite. They tranquilize elephants all the time for wildlife research. While the elephant is down, cover its eyes and take a saws-all to its tusk. No soft tissue damage is required.
If you are publishing in the U.S., Fair Use should apply in this situation. It is for a review/criticism/educational purpose to take the screenshot and comment on the program's use. See Wikipedia article on Fair Use
I tried to use Dvorak, but one thing keeps stopping me from adopting it more permanently: vi!
vi uses the home row letters for navigation, specificly "hjkl" move the cursor. When in dvorak mode, these keys are no longer in the home row and have been replaced by "dhtn". If I remap the movement keys to dhtn, then I lose the previous function of those keys:
d: Delete t: move To character n: repeat last find (Next)
Then I have to find new homes for those functions, and new memonics. ARGH! Help! How does one use vi with Dvorak sanely?!
A used PDA would be good.. or maybe you could try Pocketmail (see pocketmail.com) - write yourself emails and hold the acoustic coupler up to the phone to transmit it. The service isn't cheap though.
Sept. 11th, in and of itself, was really a fairly negligable event - ten times that number die each year in car accidents in the US, and more than a thousand times that number are currently in prison in the US for violent crimes
I think you are missing the point. Its not so much the number of people that died, but how and why they died.
You should look into studying human factors engineering/human-computer interaction. Having both psych and CS/programming skills makes you pretty quickly employable, especially if you have a master's. Good luck.
amount of system shock we are facing when either Longhorn or 64-bit Linux comes out?
Umm.. no offense, but where have you been? 64-bit linux has been out for a LONG time. Some platforms have been 64-bit kernelspace (sparc64, ppc64, alpha, amd64) and have had 64-bit userspace (alpha) while others have had a mixed 32-bit and 64-bit userspace (sparc, mips, ppc, amd64).
Most open source apps are already ported. Are you really doing things at a low enough level where you have to worry about thunking?? You might have bigger problems then.
Its the security response that is really beneficial.. Microsoft has sat on bugs for months and months before releasing fixes. Mozilla has a transparent bug tracking system that you can access to get patches and so forth, before they even release an update. And they tend to release updates within days, not months.

Whatever your solution, make sure it supports the Accept-Language: HTTP 1.1 header. See RFC 2616, section 14.4.
Example:
Accept-Language: da, en-gb;q=0.8, en;q=0.7
would mean: "I prefer Danish, but will accept British English and other types of English."

Yes, I've learned that since posting.. Odd, since 307259 was opened on the 6th when the "advisory" showed it reported on the 4th.
BTW, can you talk about the bugs you reported and their security implication?
Thanks

I have procmail setup to filter all messages that are content type text/html directly to the spam box. It doesn't get read.
However, if you send a multipart/alternative message with a text/html section AND a text/plain section, it is likely to make it to my inbox.
Oh, and don't try to be sneaky and send a multipart/alternative without a text/plain section. That gets filtered too.
