Yeah maybe we should make every nation that has done wrong to any sect of people pay reparations to those they wronged? Heck lets go back to the start of A.D. and work our way right through till now. People who were wronged by the Greeks, the Roman empire, the British empire, the Mongrels, the Huns, etc. etc. etc...... Lets bring that all in to a discussion about document that were leaked that some asshats what to say all Americans will see as "anti-American".
News flash for the uninformed people of other countries, the only people calling this anti-American are either politically affiliated or are such a small minority that it doesn't even represent 1% of the US population.
Most concerned American citizens want to know more about what their government is doing and saying because we are sick of politicians subverting our rights for corporate gains and their own gains.
Gee I couldn't see the stories coming about how "smart" each and every cat owner thinks their cat is.
Two things are common with cat owners. One, they proclaim cats to be the best pet with superior intellect and two, they all claim to have the smartest cat know to man.
So you didn't RTFA? Or click the link I posted? Really, it's just a link to Microsoft's page on DEP where it talks of Software DEP, the one that stops this attack from happening. I'm sure there are other exploits that find it easy to surpass software DEP, but in this one software DEP, which is real and is what the original story is talking about, is more then enough to stop this exploit. That is why Microsoft hasn't really been quick to issue a out of sequence update to fix the problem because it only effects IE6 and IE7 if DEP is not on. Since most run IE8 or alternative browsers, then no issue and SOFTWARE DEP is taking care of it.
Sure there is if you RTFA. Since the story says DEP in IE8 stops it from affecting it I would have to go on that. Could the code be changed in the future to break DEP? Sure, but then it is a different code and a different problem. The code in the story we are talking about can't. We can fantasize about what any code in the open can do, but at this point in time with this code, no it can't break DEP.
SNL had it on their fake news that this merger "is like to seniors dating at a retirement home. No one really minds it cause they will both be gone soon"
Well since TFA talks about a exploit that CAN be stopped by simply running DEP in IE7 or above it really don't matter if DEP has been broken by whatever since the code at hand is only trying to exploit machines where DEP in not installed (IE6) or not on, which could be any IE if a user turned it off for some odd reason.
Microsoft has software based DEP listed as: "An additional set of Data Execution Prevention security checks have been added to Windows XP SP2. These checks, known as software-enforced DEP, are designed to block malicious code that takes advantage of exception-handling mechanisms in Windows. Software-enforced DEP runs on any processor that can run Windows XP SP2. By default, software-enforced DEP helps protect only limited system binaries, regardless of the hardware-enforced DEP capabilities of the processor."
Not really a AV programs problem as it is that DEP (data execution prevention) isn't available in IE6 and isn't on by default in IE7. IE8 has it on by default so it is not possible to execute the attack on it. So if you are running the latest version of IE8 it is not a issue. OR you could be smart and stop using IE and run Firefox, Chrome, or any other browser that doesn't seem to have as many loopholes, bugs and exploits as IE does.
Ah no it is a IE6 and potentially a IE7 problem if you do not have DEP turned on. It is on by default on IE8, but not in 7 and doesn't exist in 6. Really has nothing to do with the UAC controls in place on Vista or Windows 7 since DEP is the front line defense against these attacks and works to stop the attacks before any registry altering is even possible.
Even the Air Marshall on planes have been shown to be a over priced ineffective program that is nothing more then a ego feed for people like you who feel the need to have a false sense of security. The full body scanners are the same. Cost a lot and don't really have any effect on security.
Your right, flying is a privilege, but your argument is straw man at best. That is like saying if a restaurant want people to take off all their clothes to enter it should be done because it's a privilege not a right to eat there.
I just don't want to think about how he is coming upon the experience of not only knowing the difference, but knowing it well enough to compare it to a Taco Bell meal. I also don't want to know how much alcohol it took to ascertain such discerning taste buds.
Well I have heard of people getting probation in traffic related issues that were non-alcohol, drug related and still having to take a drug test with every probation visit. These people did go with a public defender in the case and had multiple citations, but I am sure the court system stands to make more money off probation and mandatory drug testing every time then to just suspend the persons license.
It's a money grab that probably wouldn't happen if a lawyer with half a brain was involved.
I've recently heard of a strain of TB being injected in the the stomach to battle stomach cancer that is already being done. The patient is male and I'll let you guess where they inject it through to get to his stomach. He has to leave it in for a certain amount of time and then urinate followed but a half a gallon of bleach down the toilet to render it dormant. Guy says it seems to be working and feels much better after then chemo.
You're not the only one that thought the 3D in Avatar was less then impressive. It pretty much went away 10 minutes in and wasn't used well in place it could have been. The best 3D I have ever seen is at Disney and they have been pushing that out since 85' or so, whenever Captain Nemo came out. That is 3D that comes out of the screen and looks different depending on the angle you see it at. Over the years they have added to it, but the basic concept from the 80's is still the same and still stunning the first time you see it. But in the end it has never made it to the local cinema either because of cost, copyrights, or just plain stupidity. After seeing those films at Disney, all others are like a cheap attempt to pull in more cash.
Are you kidding me? Every 3DTV I have seen (Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, Visio, etc.) all blur badly when motion is anything above really slow. They all have odd RGB highlights to anything brought out of the background, most have issues with images bleeding over to the other eye making the 3D look odd and out of place, and the picture is less then impressive in the clarity department. Anyone that is interested in them quickly lose it once they watch it. ALL the stores in my area are offering these TV's at great discounts even including the 3D blu-ray player and the Monsters vs. Aliens movie and people are still not buying. That is because there is no wow factor with these sets. I was more impressed by the clearness of the LED sets then any of the 3D's I have seen. Heck even a 3D LED is more impressive when 3D is off and just a 2D blu-ray is played. It's a gimmick that the manufacturers tried to force down consumers throats in a effort to move more TV's. Hard to see the sense in it when many haven't even upgraded from standard def TV's.
Could it be from the down playing of hiring a proper IT staff that actually knows what they are doing, or paying a professional that knows how to properly remove and repair things? Sure most reading this know to run scans of up to date tools to remove infections on PC's, but in my experience most put up with it till performance is to the point of crippling the PC or network. Then a outside IT is called in and sometimes is treated like they are somehow to blame for the issues they are experiencing and try and use that as an excuse for not hiring a real IT person that actually knows what security is about. Of course this is for smaller sized business, but I have seen things as stupid as this in larger sized companies that think they are really saving something by having a secretary or high school kid run their network.
Mod parent up. My thought exactly. You'd think in this day and age with the technology we have that it would cut down on people being wrongfully accused and stop the investigators from tramping our rights, but the opposite seems to be happening. Where DNA has help set free the wrongfully accused of yesterday, now cases are set up to subvert the justice system so that common sense and a persons basic rights can be twisted in to guaranteeing a conviction. It's like a action to try and justify the need to do so, like the whole "what about the children" thing, but now it's "you don't want the criminal to go free do you?". Very Orwellian
Sorry but no. This report is full of shit. The reporter were given rides and chances to drive and these claims were answered. The Volt doesn't use the engine to go over 70 and it can never ever drive the wheels. Wouldn't be the first time a reporter was not telling it straight, but all reports I have seen say that the Volt in no way can be driven with generator engine. If you took the batteries out that car will go nowhere. Read in many article that this is all FUD. Not sure why these sources would do this. Makes me think they are on the take from the competition.
Gas engine will never and can not drive the wheels. It's just not possible. Further more it doesn't need the engine to go over 70. That is the lie and the reporter know it. Sounds like they (reporters) are following a third parties agenda cause GM took them for rides and proved that both claim are false.
Slashdot Mirror
So it's Microsoft's Surface with a bend in it? Wonder if it will have the jaw dropping price Surface does.
Agree!
People that support keeping these things secret are supporting the elitist, no checks and balances system that our government has become.
Our politicians have become a bunch of corporate lap dogs that watch out of businesses bottom line and their own asses.
Yeah maybe we should make every nation that has done wrong to any sect of people pay reparations to those they wronged? Heck lets go back to the start of A.D. and work our way right through till now.

Just because she humps everything in sight doesn't me we should draw comparisons of her to a dog.

What windows program can't alter the registry exactly?
No DEP is both hardware based and software based.
Microsoft has software based DEP listed as: "An additional set of Data Execution Prevention security checks have been added to Windows XP SP2. These checks, known as software-enforced DEP, are designed to block malicious code that takes advantage of exception-handling mechanisms in Windows.
