Unless you can shoot the horse down, hang the horse thief and buy another horse.
The problem comes when you forget about all that happened and put the new horse in a new barn, which is open.
I'd say the problem comes when someone ignores the fact that horse thievery is a capital offense.
I think if you're in a position where you apparently own Ksplice's servers, it'd be easy enough and far more damaging to quietly add a security hole to lots of systems using their patch infrastructure. Seems like a better attack vector than spreading an odd source file via a site full of distrustful/inquisitive geeks...
Unless they realized you think of that, and pulled a double-reverse psychological maneuver?
What part of Web *BROWSER* did you not understand?
I said nothing about a server. Even so, you don't need a shell to execute arbitrary code. You just need to be able overflow a buffer or some other kind of attack. A shell is meaningless.
GP was obviously confused because you replied to GGGP with a mention of a web browser, but GGGP was talking about web servers:
The exploits that work on Windows, on the other hand, are ones where someone who doesn't even have local user privileges - who's just looking at your website - can get root access, like the one Slashdot posted here
In this particular case, selling the unlock is the solution to the new problem -- there is less manufacturing defects. So what would you have Intel do? Actually create a line that produces low-end products? Or intentionally break high-end products? Or stop selling low-end processors because it simply isn't profitable to do so?
"Stop selling low-end processors" sounds like a good idea. If they can make a profit selling X, no matter how it's configured, then they can make a profit selling X with the default configuration (unlocked). They should stop intentionally breaking high-end products.
the higher end CPU also costs the same to manufacture
The higher end CPU actually costs fractionally less to manufacture; they are all created unlocked (because they have to be fully tested unlocked), but then the lower-end CPUs have an extra assembly step of getting locked down. And the company has to spend the money on the whole unlock sales-force.

I hate the cheating concept of downgraded hardware; if it's not a loss-leader, then the re-enabled hardware is overpriced.
5 year olds can use Linux/GNOME/OpenOffice. So what's the problem with adults?
Their brains have calcified (i.e. they lost the ability to learn or accept new things).
Bravo. I'm still flexible compared to others, but I've found myself complaining about minor changes in OSes lately. They're each changing only a little bit, but I'm supposed to continue to be an expert in all of them. I keep remembering the old way to do something first.
So Skyhook metaphorically wants to create Iceweasel but name it Firefox? They could name the Android OS sans Google Maps anything other than Android, but they are adamant on using the Android name?
Because WWI worked so well at sorting out the issues facing Europe that WWII never had to be fought, and there really was no better way than killing tens of millions of people to deal with the issues, right?
We could have just appeased Hitler. Give him France, England, all of Africa. Then he might have stopped gassing Jews.
There are people whose job title is Facebook Liaison. I knew someone a few years back whose whole job was building a Second Life presence.
Marketing folk in every company are extremely hot for Facebook for obvious reasons.
apple had it almost right when it controlled the carriers. the carriers are little children that run wild if not controlled. apple controlled them
Apple was like a little kid who thinks he's telling the elephant he's riding where to go. AT&T showed them pretty quickly how much control they had regarding tethering, bandwidth, etc.
At this point they can still walk by arching their back. And they are still strong enough to climb into a persons lap, resulting in only moderate blood loss and a few stitches.
The cats name was Charlie.
Was? That was before it got the diabeetis and had its feet amputated?

Wait, they're cannibals? I guess that explains why they can get by without fishing.

Some people don't RTFA. Some people don't RTFS. A rare, special few don't read the parent comment for their post.
Now I'm finally willing to invest in purchasing Blu-Ray movies. Now that I can archive them to protect from wear and tear.

I apologize to /. for dropping such a Chuck Norris bomb.
If only I had known,
I would have made a soviet russia joke.
In Soviet Russia, Chuck Norris jokes bomb.
In America, Chuck Norris jokes are the bomb.
I bet MacGyver could do it with only a crowbar.
But, where would he.. I mean, how would... Doesn't that sound painful?
"All the comforts of a standard 4-passenger vehicle" my ass. No wonder the TFA didn't have pictures, everyone would see the lies.
Excellent. I can already see more guys being apprehended for using "white text on black screens."
I now have a dual reason for using green text.

ATT hasn't dare try to muscle Apple around regarding what goes on the iPhone.
Nullriver tether app. I'm to assume that Apple is just evil regarding tethering then (until they developed their own app).
Google Wilford Brimley and Diabeetus. He got the diabeetus.
apple had it almost right when it controlled the carriers. the carriers are little children that run wild if not controlled. apple controlled them

Not true. Cats become spherical at around 50 lbs.

Hypocracy? What hypocracy? Total Government control is a party platform.
That is why he probably fled Finland. There is a great depression there
Seasonal Affective Disorder. They have beer and saunas though. They're cool.
