Though you've got to love how it's been tagged "idleispantsu" in japanese style.
For those who don't know, they tend to tag a vowel, normally "u", onto the end of borrowed words.

"Telephone Sanitiser" was apparently old slang for "Toilet Cleaner", which makes the whole thing make much more sense.
Though I'm not sure I prefer knowing that.
What AC?
Actually, despite their advertising, all Virgin have deployed is a fiber backbone, not "fiber broadband", which would include fibre to the home. For the last mile their 50Mb service goes over the same cables they've used all along.
Not that it matters much when you get 50Mbps downstream and nearly 2Mbps upstream.
A lot of games written for the xbox 360 will run best with three or more cores when ported to pc, purely because the 360 has three cores. Assuming said game makes use of all three 360 cores.
Or played Sopwith on pc. It's slightly older than I am, but I played it because it was one of the games on my dad's pc when I was younger.
And in 7 you can just drag the window to the edge of the screen and it sizes to that half.

Put simply, XSS and CSRF can perform actions on behalf of whoever is using the browser without their consent.
In that case the user happened to be using the admin side of cpanel, and the action was to change the root password.
The protection against CSRF is to require re-entry of logon details for all sensitive actions, or to use a unique "key" in the link.
For most web security issues, the fix is trivial, you just have to know about it.
Another "hacking" trick is "session fixation", and it works like this: provide a victim with a link to a site that's using php, passing a php session id in the url. Victim logs in to site, you can now use their (logged-in) session, because you have the session id (you gave it to them!).
The fix is to regenerate the session id on login, or to restrict a session to the IP of the user who started it, or to disable using session ids from the url. Or all of the above.
It also helps to store the last session id used by each user into your users table to stop a user being logged in to multiple sessions at once.
I'll have to try my eeepc with that, it got 15 fps at the highest when I tried the classic client on it.
It has a GMA 945 IIRC.
CSRF is when there is a link or even better an image on another site that causes some action on the first site. Image (img tags) work better because they are normally downloaded automatically by the browser, and there is no restriction on them that means the URL they load has to be an image...
It's normally pretty limited as to what they can do though.
The problem is with all the programs currently using _core_windows_service_ that aren't expecting it to disappear for a second while it's being updated. They'd crash.
It has that.
Windows needs to reboot after most Windows updates, because it needs to restart whatever has just been updated, and the easiest way is to restart.
As for rebooting after an install/uninstall of an application, that is the fault of a shitty app installer, not Windows. 99% of the time they run fine without rebooting, and 99% of the rest of the time you can dig out the commands they've requested to be run on next boot and run them NOW, and they'll run fine after that. The remaining apps tend to plug into the kernel in interesting ways, like antivirus or firewall apps. Even drivers for most devices (including graphics cards in recent versions of Windows) can be installed without a restart.
