Comment Blacklist the file and be done with it? (Score 1) 144

Why doesn't the security side of the house just blacklist the file and the world is saved? It's as simple as deleting the file. I know WinRar would love people to upgrade their software for a FEE, but the easiest solution for all is for the powers that be (Microsoft, Symantec, McAfee, etc), to quarantine the file, "UNACEV2.DLL".

"To users who are not interested in an upgrade or who don't find a localized version of WinRAR 5.70 yet, win.rar GmbH’s advice is to delete the UNACEV2.DLL file from their current WinRAR version to be reliably protected again. All users of WinRAR 5.10 or any newer version can find the UNACEV2.DLL file in the WinRAR program folder. WinRAR users of versions older than 5.10, can find the UNACEV2.DLL file in the Formats subfolder of the WinRAR program."

Would the UBI be basically cash? Shouldn't it be a stipend for shelter, food, and medicine? Why should someone be able to buy 24 cartons of cigarettes or booze with their UBI? What about lowering full time hours from unlimited for salaried and hourly worker to 32? Anything over 32 would be jail time for HR execs and excessively punitive taxes for businesses. If a business needs more help, they must hire more people.

It's unlikely you will be killed by this defect, but it's still a risk. If you had the option of eliminating risk, why would you not? There is a difference between risk and no risk. They are handing out rental cars for free on these recalls. My wife got a free rental for 30 days and magically the parts came in early. After a certain amount of time the manufacturer has to make you whole as they aren't granted unlimited time to perform a recall.

You can get a free rental. Call and make an appointment ASAP. Honda gave us a rental for 30 days until the fixed the car. You might have to bitch and moan about it. ALSO they have to fix your car in a reasonable amount of time OTHERWISE the manufacturer must replace the item with an identical or reasonably equivalent item or, for a vehicle, refund its purchase price less a reasonable amount for depreciation: "Vehicles may be remedied in any of three ways: repairing the vehicle; replacing the vehicle with an identical or reasonably equivalent vehicle; or refunding the vehicle’s purchase price, less a reasonable amount for depreciation. Replacement equipment may be remedied by either repairing it or replacing it with identical or reasonably equivalent equipment. Tires are required to be repaired or replaced within 60 days of when an owner receives notification about their recall. Where the free remedy offered is a repair, manufacturers are required to conduct that repair adequately and within a reasonable amount of time. A failure to conduct a repair adequately within 60 days after the consumer presents the item for repair is evidence of a failure to repair within a reasonable time. NHTSA may, however, extend the 60-day period where good reason is shown. In the event a repair is not done adequately within a reasonable amount of time, the manufacturer must replace the item with an identical or reasonably equivalent item or, for a vehicle, refund its purchase price less a reasonable amount for depreciation." http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/r...

Just for clarification... NTSC is interlaced. Check. It is 60 fields per second. Check. But the fields can be unique and can produce 60fps. All modern TVs can deinterlace this to 60 frames per second. Some older TVs will drop the odd or even field. So NTSC and interlaced ATSC can produce 60 unique frames per second with proper deinterlacing.
