The stable branches are the ones that will have bugs backported to them. A bug fix for 1.6 will not make it back into 1.5 but will make it to 1.4. This means if you are a 3rd party wishing to use mozilla as a base for you application, you should use 1.4. Nescape 7.1 was based on 1.4.
SWT is pure Java. It does not use any native code. It jsut isn't AWT, so you have to include it in your package when distributing. For applications this isn't a big deal, but for applets, it's a pain to dl even a subset of the SWT so that you can have a scrolling marquee noone cares about.
Frist, I was working on some of the first ones. I'm sure our competators had their version. Second, my phone uses PCS, and unlike using a high powered transmit and receive to reach a tower miles away, it uses low power to get to basestations less than 100 meters away (though they preferred less than 74 meters). The launch for PCS was in 1995 in Canada.
The phone I use is digital. If a bit in a packet is messed up, the whole packet is messed up and that part of the voice isn't sent. It works fine, much better than my old analogue phone. I know quite a bit about these systems because I worked on some of the first ones in 1994 at Bell Northern Research.
There are times when I'm out of digital range and have to use analogue. In those cases, you couldn't have encryption.
I would like to see end to end encryption, but I do wonder if it will ever happen. There wouldn't be much of a market force behind it. Phone to carrier, there is, because of credit card scanning and whatnot. But I don't see anyone but the mafia really paying for an end-to-end solution.
My limited understanding of the issue is that it is not. It is only available to those on the LAN side of the router. The problem is that a wardriver has access if they are physically close enough.
If there is truly WAN access, then this is really bad.
No, it's to make people wake up and realize this is still a problem. It's so that people can try this themselves and prove it's not an urban legend or FUD. It's to give the company (NetGear) notice that people won't stand for this shit, and they can't get away with it. The linked article has the user/pass combo, but it's in German, so English speakers wouldn't be able to try this out on their "fixed" systems.
that isn't helpful. The netgear has port 80 open for administrative purposes. The problem is that if you put in the super/password (or post patch superman/21241036) user/pass combo, even if you have changed from the default admin/password, you get access. It's a backdoor into the admin screens.
For this person, I would try the super/password combo on any admin login.
Really, isn't there something slightly immoral, possibly illegal about putting a backdoor into your product that allows anyone access to it, with no way to disable it, and THEN, when you are caught, you blame "the vendor that packaged the device for" you, and THEN you release a patch that claims to fix the backdoor, but really just leaves it there with a different password?
The first rule of passwords is that you do not talk about your passwords. The second rule of passwords is that you do not talk about your passwords. The third rule is if someone uses "password" or nothing, there is no password. The fourth rule is only one person to a password. The fifth rule is one password at a time. The sixth rule is no sheets, no stickies. The seventh rule is password will be expired when they have to
and the final rule of passwords is, if it's your first logon, you have to set one.
I am doubtful. To actually have a contract, both partied have to agree to it. You can't say "by posting you agree to abide by these terms" and expect that to be binding either. All the TOS can do is make it so that you can block their IP and they can't sue you for hardship on their business.
Blind people can blog with us seeing eye folk just fine. They can use a braille reader or have a voice synth read the pages they are on (depends on preference. The only blind guy I knew only used the braille reader). The mp3 thing is a good idea as a fall back (wouldn't want to exclude the deaf or those without a speaker hooked up).
If you've set up a page to allow comments to be posted, then you have implicitly given permission for people to post comments. If you don't want random people posting random things, then don't go through all the work to set up a server that allows them to.
There is a difference between downloading from a website you trust to be the author of an.exe and getting an.exe from a p2p network. Anyone can put whatever they want up on p2p networks, claiming it's what you want. There are p2p trojans that will infect the other.exes in a shared directory, to help pass itself along. The worry when dling from a website is that that site was not targeted and hacked, and unless you're getting the MD5 from a different source, you can't really check that anyway.
Thanks, this seemed like it had been up before, but I couldn't find the earlier article.
I agree, the digital pictures aren't really about the quality, it's about the memories. I like to go through my albums, just to be reminded of the good times I've had with people. It doesn't matter if the subject isn't perfectly centered. Hell, I have a series of pictures that have my foot in them on purpose (I hold my leg up, and it appears at the bottom, like a puppet. It's a series of pictures chronicalling the "Travelling Foot").
Sometimes you shouldn't be serious about taking pictures.
According to Hitwise, a Melbourne, Australia-based Web-tracking firm, visits to the top three search sites--Google, Yahoo, and MSN Search--accounted for just 5.5 percent of all Internet site visits during the week ending May 29.
Porn sites, lumped by Hitwise into a category appropriately dubbed "Adult," received 18.8 percent of all Web visits in the same period.
It may be a dick thing to do, but I email every person received the email, all the way back up the chain. Anyone and everyone in any header gets a message linking to how it's fake and an giving an explaination on how they can research these themselves.
It has seriously cut down on the number of the urban legends I get. People who send these things on will have to think twice because even if they are not sending it to me, it might make it to me, so they should double check.
I'll reply to this since it'll show up in your history rather than your computermates.
I don't think your plan of waiting to pay off your student loans before getting a house is a great idea. The reality is that student loans or no, you have to pay for your living area. People tend to find they pay less for their home than their apartment, given aproximately the same amount of square feet and location. Just 2c
It depends on how much you travel, your current milage per gallon, and the financing. I spend $300/month on gas (rounded average. I pay for all my gas on CC to be able to track it). I currently get about 15 mpg. A Toyota Prius gets 45 mpg, which would save me $200/month. At a dealer financed 1% over 5 years, that means at $12000 I'd break even. So $8K down, and I'm paying for my $20K Prius in gas prices. About $6K could come from trading in my current car, thus, the Prius really costs me $2K. After the 5 year financing, I'd get back that $2K in less tha a year, and I'd have a newer model car.
It depends. The title says "used cars" but the price the parent gave is more of a new car price. Dealer finacning is often a lot lower, almost to rediculous levels (0.00% is common right now). or a used car, it is 6.31% right now for a used car now, though.
Worst I ever heard was a client telling me I needed to alter the EDI process to send me the data from a table because it was "very important for [his] daily statistics". So I pull the table up and there's no data in it. I search the application for a reference to the table and it is never used.
We would envision that there was an alarm hooked up the computer that would do the EDI processing and if a record ever showed up, the alarm would go off ans a voice over would annouce "THERE'S DATA IN THE CREVEIW TABLE. PLEASE EXIT THE BUILDING IN AN ORDERLY FASHION."
I bet you wouldn't be happy if the problems were in Slovak, which is their mother tongue.
I guess I'm saying I'm not exactly happy with the fact that it's English only. I understand it's a compromise, but a winner of this competition can't really claim to be best in the world, just best among English speakers or those that can get good (possibly technical) interpreters.
In fact a whole team of fifty PhD. software engineers with three computers each could work in every problem and the IPSC staff wouldn't notice, so it's all about being fair.
I think you are allowed teams, but maybe there is a limit here. I suppose I just feel like people out there are going to use the www (although the questions from last year seem simple enough that it wouldn't need it). Then there's the fact that written material is okay, and I don't see the difference between looking up the addition of a series from a book or the www. Perhaps being in a library with WiFi is an "unfair" advantage too.
It's not like this really matter though. Just mostly observations.

Yeah, I don't think people got it. 70% informative my ass. FWIW, this is the source I used. I don't have the rules of fight club memorized.
I would have swore the first two lines and the last line would have given it away tho.
