Actually, a very important distinction of the word "access" was not mentioned. This flaw only seem to give read access to the files, so you can not just modify any file you wish.
It's still a major security flaw, of course, but will be slightly more difficult to exploit. It's great for targeted phishing though. You'll be able to find out a lot about the target.
NoScript blocks Javascript which in turn blocks most of these queries.
Still says I'm 1 in 200.000. Probably due to running Ubuntu. I'd have to manipulate my HTTP headers to something very common to counter that. No idea if there's an add-on that does that... or what value to use.
Add Flashblock if you want to control the execution of Flash independently (e.g. allow JavaScript but only run one of the flash applets, like the video but not all those add/tracker applets).
Not many people disable javascript, that's just one more thing to make you more unique.
And there is a big drawback from changing your headers: You're no longer advertising a free operating system. I was thinking of changing my signatures, but I figured that I would rather like webmasters to know that they have linux users as well.
.. And last, if I'm not mistaken, NoScript lets me enable individual flash applets on a page, at least I can do that and I don't have Flashblock.
See, that's why it's called karma. Your previous posts clearly shows that you're an immature idiot without anything to say except to waste everyones time.
Well, as I see it, the "Asshats" here is not a reference to the spammers. I see the spammers as an anonymous mass that will always exist. Faceless and brainless, acting only on instincts.
The asshats would be more like people that do not want to send spam, but who see it as an interesting challenge to disrupt the supposed spam-protection, or to abuse the actual protection system just to use up resources.
Except that if I was a terrorist (I'm a foreigner, I'm using linux, and I have nmap installed), then I'd just download windows from the pirate bay.. Cheaper, easier, and with any luck you'll get a better version too, one that you can use on several computers and without nag-screens and needing to enter a 108639 digit serial number to install.
If they are not using Linux, Microsoft and Apple would probably be fined and/or investigated by the CIA/NSA/TLA (Three Letter Agency).
Linux is often the only viable choice for any terrorist of importance, because of the trade embargoes against terrorist countries (as decided by some random "we don't like this country" rules).
You mean it's that kind of store that lose money on each customer, thus only allow their close friends to shop, in order to lose as little as possible?
Too bad if your recipient turned off the phone during the night, ran out of batteries during a hike, or changed number temporary due to a trip abroad (roaming costs fucking sucks).
Obviously it has to be commandline based, so you can script it and use it over SSH. You also need to be able to feed your scene selection data on stdin.
Doesn't matter if someone moderated it. "Overrated" means that the current score is too high, and should be lowered. If you write something that's plain wrong or moronic but still get a high score because of karma, "Overrated" is a perfectly valid moderation.
In particular, people who starts to cry when they see their oh-so-great post get flamed are very annoying.
More so, you can't stop them from rebooting, replacing your ssh/whatever executable with something that spits out all conversation in cleartext on a local console, then they can get your decryption keys and you wouldn't know what happened.
Unless you can prevent them physically from accessing the machine that you lease, you have no control.

The same what you block your own government, RIAA and the likes: Encryption and anonymity. Check out stuff like i2p and freenet.
Great! This leads to more competition and lower prices for the American consumers. What's the problem with that?
"anyone know of a plugin that blocks them?"

Which is why browsing with NoScript should be mandatory and why we should try to stop webmasters from using unnecessary javascript on their websites.
(Oh, and please stop mocking those of us that takes basic security precautions.)

It's an ad for a 3D graphing service.
Indeed, the guy from the graphing service is the same guy who made this.
I don't even know why they Quova crap is mentioned since you can look up the country for *each* your IP locally using GeoIP.
grub1 is also beta, the difference is that grub1 is both beta *and* obsolete. Pick one.

What if terrorists use Linux
If they are not using Linux, Microsoft and Apple would probably be fined and/or investigated by the CIA/NSA/TLA (Three Letter Agency).
Linux is often the only viable choice for any terrorist of importance, because of the trade embargoes against terrorist countries (as decided by some random "we don't like this country" rules).
Wasn't that them who invented scanner-printer devices that refuse to scan if you don't have ink?
w.. t.. f..
Is this for real or are you just making crazy things up now?
do they think I'm crapflooding or something?
I hate to be the one to break it to you (ok I lied, I love it), but yes, you are.
I only read the headline, it's faster that way.
We're trying to do this in Sweden. Spread the word. :)

Sadly they won't let me shop there anymore

Here's what you did wrong:
I got an HP

You know, that quote is sort of correct if the person who said it belongs to the last group of people.

I couldn't find any porn when I visited china for a month, it's illegal. They had plenty of sex shops with toys etc.
