Thanks to Stargate: The Ark of Truth and The Daily WTF, we now know the language that Stargate's replicators are coded in. This article and its comments say that the replicators are coded in Javascript cribbed from www.rbcroyalbank.com.

DNS rebinding attacks can be used by hostile websites to get browsers to attack behind firewalls, or to attack third parties. Browsers use "pinning" to prevent this, but a paper describes so-called multi-pin vulnerabilities that bypass the existing protections. Note that, from a DNS perspective, this is a "feature" rather than an implementation bug, although it's possible that DNS servers could be modified to prevent external sources from being able to point at internal resources. Also note that use of noscript to block javascript, java, and flash should also work around this.

There was a previous slashdot story announcing the future availability of the Hitachi 1TB hard drive. A mere 9 months later, you can now buy the 1TB hard disk retail! Or, if you're like me, you can at least read the Anandtech review of the 1TB hard disk after you pay your mortgage. This is a milestone I will remember for a long time.
