Hackers Jump On Newest IE7 Bug 162
CWmike writes "Attackers are already exploiting a bug in Internet Explorer 7 that Microsoft patched just last week, security researchers warned today. Although the attacks are currently in 'very, very small numbers,' they may be just the forerunner of a larger campaign, said Trend Micro's Jamz Yaneza. 'I see this as a proof-of-concept,' said Yaneza, who noted that the exploit's payload is extremely straightforward and explained that there has been no attempt to mask it by, say, planting a root kit on the victimized PC at the same time. 'I wouldn't be surprised to see this [exploit] show up in one of those Chinese exploit kits,' he added. The new attack code, which Trend Micro dubbed 'XML_Dloadr.a,' arrives in a spam message as a malicious file masquerading as a Microsoft Word document."

Difference: the "small side odds" were saying that the neutrons would continue a chain reaction with the elements around it, i.e. that the silicon or carbon around it would break apart when struck with a single neutron and two neutrons would be released. They knew which elements did that, and could make the assertion that it would not happen.
With the LHC, they are saying in a way, "Yes, two neutrons will be released when non-intended material is struck, but we're hoping that the chain reaction will peter out in time before enough of them get all caught up in it."
Doesn't seem quite the same.

OpenGL ES 2.0 Programming Guide 48
Martin Ecker writes "Mobile phones and other embedded devices are getting more and more powerful each year. The availability of dedicated hardware for 3D rendering is becoming increasingly ubiquitous, and the latest mobile phones come with 3D hardware acceleration that rivals the power of desktop graphics hardware. OpenGL ES 2.0 is the latest version of a cross-platform, low-level graphics API to utilize these new resources available in embedded devices. The OpenGL ES 2.0 Programming Guide published by Addison-Wesley Publishing aims to help the reader make use of the full power of OpenGL ES 2.0 to create interesting 3D applications."

If I recall correctly, the kid used those 800 votes by using other people's names, and by doing so, removed their ability to vote in the election. So, perhaps not the best way to go about it.
