Actually, yes, luggage as well as shipped items are "lost" all the time. Police, security guards, customs, inspectors, etc. are rampant with corruption.
This is why Russia has yet to have a true capitalist recovery: every lucrative business attempt is nickeled and dimed to death by thefts and rackets.
increase by a factor of more than ten times
Just like the x times less phrase, the "by a factor of X times" phrase just makes me wish that Slashdot would implement last-chance review before an editor is allowed to post.
For reference, "ten times" is a factor of 1.
--but from then on, I always opened my cartridges at the register after paying.
Unnecessary if you are in the US, or a country with similar consumer-protection laws. You are allowed to open the product at the store to inspect it prior to purchase.
If they object to having to repackage (e.g. shrink wrap it again), tough cookies, especially if you fully intended on purchasing the product and found it to be faulty.
Legerov said. For example, he said, “there will be published two years old Realplayer vulnerability soon, which we handled in a responsible way [and] contacted with a vendor.”
I think that apparently the vendors aren't doing a damn thing to patch a good amount of these reported vulnerabilities if they are being reported in a proactive manner. Seems as if once the exploits are running rampant in the wild then the vendors scramble to develop patches
It's most likely a case of resource management and insufficient resources available.
One word can solve the difference between responsible reporting and 0-day motivation:
embargo
The reporting security group still goes through responsible reporting methodology, but add proposed date the details will be reported more fully to the public.
I work for an enterprise-level network device manufacturer, and anyone in that line of work knows damn well that remote vulnerabilities are the harbinger of death if they're not addressed in a timely fashion. Yet, motivation to assign resources to fix it still relies (in part) on whether there is a public exploit or not. So it's with that background that I can say that embargoes work.
We don't know the details, but apparently Intevydis didn't give embargo dates along with their reported vulnerabilities. Now they see what kind of motivation that produces, and so they've set a pseudo-embargo: any time between Jan. 11th and Feb. 1st.
Seriously, preview your story summaries editors!
"...so we'll have to watch closely to see what the company puts it back on its servers."
Who thinks that "it" makes sense?
What are you, a Grammar N... dammit
A computer scientist is someone who fixes things that aren't broken.
