It's probably out of spite. At an OSS project I worked on previously they'd always hack into competing projects when they trashed the project's security.

If you live in a glass house, don't go around throwing stones.

Is the XML expansion issue truly just a DOS issue, or is it possible for attackers to get feedback (either directly or on subsequent requests) on the XML parse result and thus read local files via a SYSTEM entity?

I buy a new Office when a new version gives me something I want. I buy new PC's on an entirely different schedule.

Do you have a link to that ruling? AFAIR, the 2002 law change made it harder for the _social_ father to get out of child support.

While you certainly can close Metro apps manually, there's no direct need in terms of resources to do so. Metro apps will be suspended when not on the foreground and removed from memory when free memory gets tight. When switching back, the app is resurrected from the grave.

Such Jesus apps do depend on the developer not being lazy / retard. While MS checks apps during the winstore certification process, sometimes apps slip through that do not react to such events correctly. Using those apps is pretty annoying.

> Assuming there are no other bugs in the CMS in question, and no other apps are installed with access to the same server, and the admins implement good authentication policies, there is no danger from this.

That depends on the contents of the file in question. Example: An attacker can forge hmacs if the config file contains the signing key.

Why are authenticity tokens not tied to a specific form and the originating session? Is there a technical reason?

Try it, as it depends on the applications you use. Some members of the jetbrains family didn't run on OpenJDK for a long time. The ones I use do now.

That said, if your platform lacks an installer and -more importantly- an updater, OpenJDK is not a good alternative. There's no reason to assume it is any more secure than the Oracle package except for the lack of additional toolbars.

> The service focuses on fixing vulnerabilities in commonly used and popular software solutions such as WordPress, Drupal and Joomla.

What does this mean? Can you perhaps explain the service? Are these patches based on Drupal/Joomla security releases?

Yeah, so much for 'power' users and tweakers.

Tomshardware is in fact double wrong: Win+Q and charms search lead to the application specific search (eg when in Music, you'll search music, when in Mail, mail).

Only when you are on the startscreen or desktop will you get the 'application' search as default via Win+Q.

Launching apps by typing their name still works on Windows 8. Just get to the start screen (winkey or bottom left corner, or via charms bar), then start typing.

What is the distribution of BSODs? Are they evenly spread over the population or are some users/machines responsible for the majority of cases?

The inscription in I.7.1 - 8075 translated here as: "The finances officer of the emperor Nero says this food is poison" is in latin "CVCVTA AB RATIONI[B]VS NERONIS AVGVSTI".

An alternative, sarcastic, translation has been proposed: Poison is Nero's secretary of finance.

Such studies are done with patients who need BM transplants for unrelated causes.

These cases are interesting to study because it teaches us what happens when you do reservoir depletion while on HAART. This is a big topic in current HIV research: reactivate integrated HIV to get the host cells killed while blocking viral replication with HAART.

Also note the qualifier: "in their blood cells". HIV reservoirs are not necessarily restricted to blood or blood cell types.

You would expect that these patients need HAART to prevent a reactivating virus from replicating. The Berlin patient is different* because particles generated by a reactivated CCR5-tropic virus cannot infect his new T-lymphocytes.

* though it remains to be seen whether he is truely cured.

This is sensible legacy behaviour. Future installers should be a bit smarter about pinning.

The choppy animations can be due to your GPU (intel?) or driver. FWIW I do not experience choppiness with the Release Preview + Intel HD3000 (MBA 2011).

To open an app that is not in the start screen, type its name. This also searches for apps.

Switching apps can be done with Win-tab or Alt-tab

Use the winkey to go to the startscreen.

Winkey+I = Settings

There are a lot of other shortcuts.

PowerShell 3 (ISE and normal command window) are pretty quick for me. What errors did you get?

Agree with you on the default video player. These apps still need a lot of work. Media Player is still there. VLC and XBMC are just a download away.

Can you elaborate on completely shutting aout Google?

I'm using a WP7 with Google accounts for mail, contacts and calendar.

I've built a number of social sites for broadcasting companies and this is indeed common practice.

No-one's attracted to a forum filled with void. All you need is a few carefully constructed, interesting personas as a nucleus to kickstart, then gradually remove them once the community has formed around them and becomes self-sustaining.

> Pretty much the only proven thing you can do if you want to live longer is calorie restriction.

This has not been proven for humans AFAIK.

Just a FYI; you don't need the mouse to get to the login screen. The lock screen can be dismissed by pressing a key.

What would be the problem? I've both written papers in Latex and Word, but cannot think of a discipline-related advantage.

I entered the HIV triad.

It didn't ask me if I was MSM and/or had unsafe sex previously. As such, there was no HIV seroconversion illness mentioned in the diagnosis list.

The recommendation (to see a professional) was correct.

No, because our law separates defamation into two parts.

- Libel (laster) where allegations are not true or the defendant should have known they are not true.

- Smaad where allegations are true, or it's reasonable for the defendant to assume they are true.

In your example, you could be convicted of Smaad, unless you could show that you

1) acted in the public interest.

2) or needed to defend yourself against eg a counterclaim

3) or did not intend to harm someones good name

See http://lexius.nl/wetboek-van-strafrecht/boek2/titel16

That depends on your location. In NL the truth can get you in a lot of trouble.

Also not that the TOS tries to make the submitter liable for all damages _and_ cost : http://iwasntpaid.com/terms_of_submission

It is always a good idea to keep ownership until final payment. This also increases the chance that you'll see money when a client goes bankrupt and is sold or undergoes a restructuring ("doorstart").

(nb: all based on NL law)

That mode of living only works if you primarily travel _within_ the city or to a few well-connected cities in the region.

Travelling from Amsterdam to places without a train station kinda sucks. In some cases, even travelling to places _with_ a train station takes almost twice as long by public transport.

"Bicycle Rush Hour Utrecht (Netherlands) III" :)

Utrecht is a much nicer city for cyclists than Amsterdam.

Yes, as I said above, 2%

It doesn't seem like the areas are created equal; I'd expect a few more hotspots elsewhere (California), but so far I haven't found much, but then again "Data not available for metropolitan areas with fewer than 50,000 households."

All I can see there is Top 1% from $513,000
