Submission + - No javascript needed for new Adobe exploits (cnet.com)
bl8n8r writes: More woes for Adobe as security firm creates proof of concept attack which injects malicious code as part of the update process. The user only needs to click a dialog box to execute the code and no javascript is needed to launch the exploit. The exploit affects Foxit as well as Adobe Acrobat software. This exploit is made possible through the host software allowing execution of system binaries. Not clear if it's multiplatform, but seems plausible.
Submission + - Years-old privacy hole to be closed in Firefox? (theregister.co.uk)
garg0yle writes: Firefox developers have announced they're close to plugging a security hole which allows websites to find out what other sites you visit — a hole which plagues virtually all browsers, and has been around for years (Microsoft categorized it as a bug in 2002). The fix won't actually completely remove the possibility, but it will make it a lot harder to exploit.
From the article: "It's also worth noting that most of the attacks can be eliminated by blocking a site's ability to run Javascript. That means users of the NoScript add-on for Firefox will in many cases be protected against the attack. ... Any site that has the ability to run code also has the ability to silently pilfer your browsing history."

I applaud your efforts and all others who are attempting to get healthier - I know I desperately need to as well.
I have started a diet with a modified intake of calories but aiming the majority of the food intake at whole grains / veggies / fruits and protein sources that are high in beneficial fats and oils.
Adding activities such as an hour of walking (yes fellow geeks - we need to do more than roller-chair across the room to our soda fridges and microwaves for the late-night munchies).
Having once weighed over 350 - getting down to 180 - and now hovering just below 300 again (this is over a 20+ year span) I can confirm exactly what you say about the so-called "American diet". The pattern of eating about 6 times in small portions, eating a healthy selection of fresh items, and using MODERATION are key. Emulating the Mediterranean diets has been my family's goal.

I'm still reading and wondering HOW this applies or even belongs in this forum. This accomplishes nothing but to start the much-heated bantering again.
This is a hot-button POLITICAL issue that *supposedly* bears no value here unless we find there is hidden wording (what? in over 2000 pages of legislation from OUR congress? I must be off my rocker!) pertaining to the way data or information or privacy will be (ab)used in the future whether this pork-laden by-product passes or not.
In the end isn't this OP trolling??
Submission + - NewEgg Confirms Shipping Fake Core i7s
adeelarshad82 writes: After originally rejecting the story, online retailer NewEgg confirmed that a shipment of Core i7s were indeed fake, and that it had broken off its supply relationship with IPEX, the supplier. Also NewEgg, for its part, said that it already had contacted affected customers, and would continue to reach out and replace the counterfeit parts. As seen in the unboxing of the fake Core i7, the product seems legit at first. It's only after you open it that the buyer realizes that it's fake.
