I was thinking "Hell, No", but after reading your comment, I'm thinking I might give them another chance.
They would have to grovel a lot though, which I'mm pretty sure they wouldn't. They'd also have to admit they were wrong, which I'm pretty sure they wouldn't.
Also, the new album would have to not suck, which I'm pretty sure it wouldn't.
This is an old problem, but it is still not one that has been fixed today- the reader I linked to is a popular one, and is still actively marketed by Microsoft.
Yes, there is more resilient hardware and software out there, and has been for a long time. I personally have my doubts about these devices as well, but don't have the funding to go buying them for the sole purpose of breaking them.
At any rate, your claim was that people don't actually exploit this outside of the lab, and I pointed out that the devices it is easiest to exploit are also the most commonly encountered ones, and it is very likely that they have been exploited before.
Decide what your point is before you try to argue it.
I'm with you. I'm not into "period" novels. Somebody needs to write a book about middle-earth today, with all the technical advancements of the dwarves and elves over the last 50 years.
I saw it when it hit digg, which was apparently 1 Year, 220 days ago. I don't recall the specific model of hardware or software, but I've since used it on several other systems as well.
At least one example- while not anywhere near top-quality equipment, the Microsoft Fingerprint Reader is vulnerable, and is the class of device that you're likely to see on most consumer machines, as well as in a good percentage of offices.
I used to do work for a local car dealership. They had a system that used biometric inputs used to unlock the safe with all the new car's keys.
After watching the mythbusters episode in which they unlocked biometric devices with a printed scan of a fingerprint, I tried the same. Unsurprisingly, it worked. What was surprising, was that it was gave less 'false' negatives than my actual finger.
There you go, a production, not a lab environment, though I did not use that for an actual attack at the time.
If you think that nobody has ever used that in an attack, you are fooling yourself.
I have since used the same technique several times in pentests, again in production environments.
I admit I don't know Java as well as I perhaps should, but I know Javascript quite well and don't see why it is required for Java development (beyond the UI and presentation layer, which has nothing to do with the Java backend).
I did wonder WTF Delphi was doing on there, when Javascript is being used (and required) on just about every site I visit.
Hello, Mr. Troll. Here is why you're wrong:
Real tech support Have you ever tried calling MS tech support? I have. Unless you are a large corporate account, the people you talk to are less clueful (yes, I just made up a word) than you.
Open source, by contrast has massive repositories of information on forums all across the internet. A bit of Googling will get you a long way. Barring that, a reputable IRC channel will answer any other questions you have.
If you really want to pay for support, there's always Red Hat.
stability that the people making the "free" won't get bored and move on to something else Open source software is maintained for far longer than commercial software, because MS and other commercial software makers are constantly trying to sell you the latest upgrades.
stability from knowing that it's not a one-man project According to Wikipedia, Red Hat employs about 2,200 people. Novell picks up another 5k. The actual Linux kernel has many more.
knowing a problem can be fixed without requiring an armada of high paid consultants Until recently, my father was a consultant for one of the companies that MS outsourced their support contracts to. He made an awful lot of money, and it wasn't really MS paying him, it was the end-users.
Seconded. I got out of gaming after Diablo II stole my soul. After putting my focus on other things for the last few years, I picked up a modded xbox for $75 off ebay. Now I can go back and play all the games I missed out on, and do them at my own pace. I'm having a lot of fun, and when friends oome over, we can always fire up the NES emulator.
What if you can't tell the difference, and the meat is cheaper to make, with a smaller ecological footprint? What about when all the fast food joints start using it?
Vat-meat is certainly more appealing to me than the ingredients in a McDonald's chicken nugget.
I've watched all their propaganda films, and it's worth noting that the strongest points they make have nothing to do with not eating animals and everything to do with treating them ethically.
The organization is terribly run and certainly gets sidetracked a lot, but keep in mind that their name is 'People for the ethical treatment' of Animals', not 'People trying to prevent other people from eating animals.'
I was vegetarian/borderline-vegan for a few years, also for health reasons. My experience says that there are a lot more people who do it for the same reasons.

Actually, PHP's mysql engine won't run that query- you cannot execute more than one query in a single mysql_query() call.
There are plenty of ways around it, but your query will fail.
+5 good movie reference
You're wrong.
It's "Damned because they did."
No, but they did save the music industry.
They did it for the greater good.
</sarcasm>
Wow! You picked up on that? And you can play the song too?
You ARE a clever bastard, aren't you.
I know I'm making it worse, but somebody mod this guy (and me) offtopic.

Elves with lasers.
It would be awesome.
I don't know what industry standards are for ATM software, but I ran across one with a BSOD yesterday while buying tickets to a movie.
I don't really believe that they are all *that* secure.
That said, I'd be more worried about a group of blackhats who didn't make their exploit public.

Yeah, it's off topic, but I haven't tried Booker's.
Maker's Mark is so far my bourbon of choice, but sampling others means more drinking, and that can only be a Good Thing.
Wasn't there a song about that?
Who knew? The Beatles were open source advocates back in 1967

It's a slippery slope, and I don't know if I ever want to go back to that life.
The cows were hella fun though.
To be fair, grues are a lot scarier than Iraqis with missles.
I mean, come on, nobody even knows what they *look* like.
Though I suppose the old Spy vs. Spy game could be useful as supplemental material.
Please. There is only one game necessary, and it is Goldeneye.

Now I do eat meat, but I'm also getting fat.
From what I understand about the XO's construction, they probably can.
It then becomes a "project", and is still educational
