But I agree with the rest. It was one hell of an accomplishment for India. Or any other country to get to Mars on the first attempt.
Go ESA!
(Budget 150 million EUR, a bit more expensive than MOM).
Uh, $83 million 1964 dollars is $636 million 2014 dollars.
MOM is way cheaper than Mariner 4.
As one would expect. (Wanna buy a computer in 1964?)
Oh:
Given that what’s underlying EC2 are ordinary physical servers running virtualization without a live migration technology in use,
EC2 doesn't do migration.
Low-life.
Just migrate the instance to a host running the fixed version of Xen, reboot the host with the broken version when it's empty.
Debian's bash version is so ancient it probably doesn't even support environment variables yet....
There's something after 4.3?
That's because Windows users don't tend to get Linux foisted upon them or have some device or another they want say "sorry, Linux only".
Mine do.
Bwahahaha!

Hello Rackspace!
Didn't I just say that? You'd have to explicitly invoke #!/bin/bash. I know of very few scripts that do that; most use #!/bin/sh.
Well, on my Debian unstable machine:
# find / -mount -type f | while read x ; do if [ "`head -1 $x | grep '^#\!/bin/bash'`" ]; then echo $x; fi; done 2>/dev/null
Ugly.
but if you want other examples of exploiting this bug you can do it via malicious DHCP responses processed by dhcpclient or by env. variables passed when loging in via SSH.
Wow, an exploit that lets someone logging in with SSH run shell commands. Scary.
It does not automatically mean that, but money can buy you some nice quality assurance and code auditing.
Can it? Could you point out an example of that?
(Outside, possibly, the Space Shuttle landing software).
Well. Sandra Bullock doesn't look like Indian Bullocks. Besides, in India bullocks are male, and usually castrated.
I hate to have to be the one to break this to you, but about Sandra Bullock...
You've never heard of xconfig? You are a noob.
I've heard of it.
Fuck, I used to write modelines based on the manuals of old CRT monitors.
But I haven't had to touch it for years now. Everything just works.
Of course, if the Forbes link is too "right wing" for you, you might prefer the get the 97% bubble popped by a left-leaning source
I'd hardly describe Richard Tol as a "left leaning source". Do you think that leftiness is catching? That just by getting published in the Guardian you become a lefty?
Richard Tol disagrees with the 97% figure, but what does he think the real figure is?
So, not 97%, maybe it could be 95%, or 99%.
97% of anthropologists thought piltdown man was the missing link and he turned out to be a human skull attached to a monkey jaw bone. The real missing link ended up being found by a guy those assholes mocked.
Untrue in all particulars.
Almost from the outset, Woodward's reconstruction of the Piltdown fragments was strongly challenged by some researchers. [...] G.S. Miller, for example, observed in 1915 that "deliberate malice could hardly have been more successful than the hazards of deposition in so breaking the fossils as to give free scope to individual judgment in fitting the parts together."
There is, of course, no "real missing link".
The catch 22 is in order to be a climate scientest you have to basically sign on to beleiving in AGW, so it is a bit like saying 97% of Catholic preists believe in god.
So Judith Curry is unemployed? John Christy is no longer at UAH? Richard Lindzen was forced to retire?
The rule on staying alive as a program manager is to give 'em a number or give 'em a date, but never give 'em both at once.
