My New Year's Resolution.

(Last year it was 1280x800, and 1680x1050 a few years before that)

Since next year is the year of the Pandora for me, I guess my next New Years Resolution will be 800x480.

Or South Korea was flinging Electric Buses at North Korea...

Unless you are trying to do anything that involves subqueries. Hopefully they fixed it, but subqueries couldn't be used in views, and would often be executed slower than running the queries separately and typing the answers from one query into another.

Also taking the silent data truncation errors, MySQL isn't exactly a highly reliable database.

Not just that, but you need another computer that isn't a "64-bit Windows" computer running AVG 2011 with automatic updates.

So, Customs tried to erase all of your data on that drive? (If the drive was in a file system that they didn't recognize, like EXT3 or such, then writing files would destroy data)

Actually, why would customs mount the drive in a way that it could be modified at all? It seems like if they can modify it, anything they found would be tainted.

Wow, first time seeing that clip, and I got exactly 15 passes, and noticed the gorilla when she was in the middle of the screen.

It was interesting how I was able to make the people in black simply disappear from view since they weren't relevant to the goal.

And the 'Free' in the title as well.

Also, the XO-1 has the CPU and such behind the screen. The lower part is just the keyboard and battery, and the battery doesn't get warm.

Based on the MPAA marketing that piracy is theft, then the punishment should obviously be what it is for stealing a copy of that item.

The temperature is controlled by a blob of mercury in a glass vial on a spring with some wires stuck in that bulb. If the mercury shorts out certain wires, it turns on a natural gas burner kept going by a pilot light. Then about 30 seconds later, a big fan kicks in.

Backup heat: a stack of logs in my fireplace with only convection to take the exhaust out of my apartment.

Dangerous? Maybe.

If the ASP.Net application is using ASP.Net 3.5 SP1 or above, the attacker could use this encryption vulnerability to request the contents of an arbitrary file within the ASP.Net application.

Breaking the encryption is one thing, that is just !!!! GAH !!!

Does that mean that a client that is authorized with a key to decrypt the encryption has access to "an arbitrary file within the ASP.Net application"?

This would then seem like 2 very different issues: the oracle helping break the encryption, and the "request a file" issue.

Some stores have disabled the quantity button for non-managers.

During college, when I was doing everything in Emacs (Even the writing class, that was LaTeX in Emacs), I had some Emacs Dreams.

It is really disturbing to be dreaming about syntax highlighting, and a bunch of glowing characters against a black background.

(I have never had a VI dream, so I guess that shows where my allegiance lies)

In Japan, I have traveled to every station on the Nagoya Subway, taking pictures. (3rd or 4th largest city in Japan, about 80 stations.)

I stood out, being a giant white guy, carrying what is to American police an "Evil, Terrorist-style" DSLR, with a 10-20mm lens on it.

Not a single security guard or police officer even tried to talk to me. (Actually, the only time in Japan security guards have talked to me is when I was taking pictures in a mall that had "No Photography" signs posted at all entrances)

Why are DSLRs so "Evil", when small point and shoots are just fine? Sure the picture quality might be better, but you don't need Ansel Adams quality to plan something.

More likely the devs would just ignore it.

Taking the ISO 8601 date issue in OO.org (Where the edit format for dates in a cell is in ...some.. format that isn't what the cell is set to, and no ability to globally set the date format to ISO 8601), and the subquery bug in MySQL (where the outer query was run as a sequence scan against a subquery, with queries taking longer than it would to do by hand) as examples.

Both weren't fixed for several years, with the MySQL bug only being fixed in the latest version, and not in the earlier versions.
The OO.org bug is ... still open after 6 years.

And these are large packages with tons of users, corporate backing with bugs that seriously affect usability.
