From TFA- "I'd call it groundbreaking," said Roel Schouwenberg, a senior antivirus researcher at Kaspersky Lab. In comparison, other notable attacks, like the one dubbed Aurora that hacked Google's network and those of dozens of other major companies, were child's play. "Using four zero-days, that's really, really crazy," said Symantec's O Murchu. "We've never seen that before." Neither has Kaspersky, said Schouwenberg. But the Stuxnet wonders didn't stop there. The worm also exploited a Windows bug patched in 2008 with Microsoft's MS08-067 update. That bug was the same vulnerability used to devastating effect by the notorious Conficker worm in late 2008 and early 2009 to infect millions of machines. Once within a network -- initially delivered via an infected USB device -- Stuxnet used the EoP vulnerabilities to gain administrative access to other PCs, sought out systems running the WinCC and PCS 7 SCADA management programs, hijacked them by exploiting either the print spooler or MS08-067 bugs, then tried the default Siemens passwords to commandeer the SCADA software. They could then reprogram the so-called PLC (programmable logic control) software to give machinery new instructions. On top of all that, the attack code seemed legitimate because the people behind Stuxnet had stolen at least two signed digital certificates. "The organization and sophistication to execute the entire package is extremely impressive," said Schouwenberg. "Whoever is behind this was on a mission to get into whatever company or companies they were targeting." "Someone had to sit down and say, 'I want to be able to control something on the factory floor, I want it to spread quietly, I need to have several zero-days,'" O Murchu continued. "And then pull together all these resources. It was a big, big project."

Interesting read- http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/918...mp;pageNumber=1 Long story short, it's a super-complex virus that upon infecting the target, uses several day-zero exploits Microsoft exploits to try and gain control of industrial controls software running on the target PC to change instructions in those programs resulting in real-world damage. It's main target appeared to be Iranian in nature and some of the top anti-virus gurus think it's way too good to have been produced by a private group.

Somebody mention Jon Spencer??? Love Dropkick too. Massive Bruins fans, show up to play at fan's funerals, what's not to like about those guys?

Forgot how awesome the "slow verision" of this song is.

Y'know, mine does the same thing. I've chalked it up to Sky being originally broadcast in an HD resolution, but my FSC is only standard definition. All my HD channels display correctly and all my standard definition channels also display correctly. I realize you're probably not in the States watching Sky on FSC, but it could be something similar where for some reason you're getting the HD feed in standard definition. Wouldn't mention it otherwise, but what you describe is exactly how my TV displays SSN as well.

After learning and using the clunky-as-fuck layout of the pre-2010 Office over the years, I predictably hate the 2010 Office as well. I think it's sorta like Mac stuff- you have to get all Yoda on it and unlearn what you have learned to be able to use it. That being said, I didn't mind doing it to learn Mac as it so much handier for music and movies and the things I wanted to use it for. Having to unlearn what I've learned to use the newest Microsoft Office when it's their fault I had to learn it like this to begin with seems shitty on their part.

Either that or it means something a little different than what it does over here. You know, like fags and tabs.

mea Quite scary as well. I really liked it, but now prefer Mullholland Drive which is a real puzzle and melange of themes and kooky in just enough measure. Well, that and Naomi Watts furiously masturbating. It;s a real shame Lynch has trouble getting decent funding these days. Ain't that the truth.

I think I was playing hockey the nights this was originally on here in the States. I had a close friend who was way into at the time though, so when I moved to Austin in '96 and happened across a VHS box set of the entire series at a movie store, I snatched it up. Three days later, I'd gotten through the 30-ish hours of damn fine coffee, pie, backward talking midgets, treacherous Canadians, and a dragged-up Duchovny, mind sufficiently blown. Great stuff. Still my all-time favorite TV series. FWIW, I liked Fire Walk With Me too. Crazy, crazy stuff. Have any of you run across a copy of Laura's diary or the Diane tapes? There was a torrent of the Diane tapes floating around for awhile...

no more reason than there is to use fuck, wanker....but I take your point, he's a douche nozzle It's the French ancestry coming out.

The pastor's even got a truck to prove it. But does that mean 6pm-9pm in each individual time zone, or 11pm-2am here? I'm confused. Though probably not as confused as the mere concept of time zones would leave him. That photo raises a few questions, such as when did Dog the Bounty Hunter contract a wasting disease? And if I burn my Quran outside the 6 till 9 time slot will it feature in the final total? Very good job I've got until early November to get answers.

I have kind of a funny story about that. In 1993, I was living in a town about an hour north of Dallas (which would be about an hour, hour and a half south of Waco) going to school and living at my aunt's house. Around the end of February, I was all excited because I was going to fly back home to Illinois to see my friends and family for my birthday, so the week before, I was telling my Texan friends how I was going to go home and blah, blah, blah. The important thing here is, the small town in Illinois that I come from is called Mount Carmel. I basically just flew back for the weekend (might have taken off Friday too), then I was back in Texas. I spent almost every waking minute going to one party or another, seeing all my friends I'd not seen for about a year, then it was back on the plane to return to school. The important thing here is that I didn't watch any TV. So I get back to Texas late Sunday evening, and I'm all tired and kind of out-of-it at school the next day. A couple of my Texan friends are all, "Hey, so where did you say you were going?" Me. "Mount Carmel." Them. "Mount Carmel, where?" Me. "Uh, Illinois? Why?" That was when they told me about the FBI storming and subsequently accidentally setting fire to David Koresh's compound which he had taken to calling Mount Carmel. Of course then I was all, "Wait- what makes you think I would have been at some religious cult's compound?" Never really got a straight answer on that one. Lols. Was wondering if anyone would pick up on that. maybe the ones in Victoria who talk with fake british accents ( i shit you not, they exist), maybe the ones who emmigrated or their children. depends on when the poll ( if you really read something <cough> WUM <cough>) was taken. Its been lots of maple syrup and red and white flag waving since the olympics, but in general we don't toot our own horn a whole lot, in my experience anyway. Canadians sound like Canadians. They have different regional dialects just like we do, or just like the people who live on either side of the Tyne. Seriously though- they don't sound British, English, Scottish, or Irish. At least no Canadian I've met does. The Quebecois obviously sound French, but I can't tell you if their French sounds like Canadian French or French French. The only thing y'all toot your horns about is hockey, Tooner in my experience, but most of the time you're right (unless your a Leafs fan in which case you're most likely completely deluded) so it's all good in my book. EDIT: Unless you're Don Cherry in which case you're right about 1% of the time and completely balls-out, full of shit the other 99%. dude! don't be that guy, you can't change who you support.....they used to be good you know.... Whatchu talkin' 'bout Willis? I'm a lifelong (well, 20 years anyway) Kings fan! I gotta give Leafs stick whenever I can, much like a Mr. Gretzky did in Game 7 of the '93 playoffs... ......so fucking close to the finals that year! Not to further derail the thread with hockey talk, but you guys are on your way back. I'm not a fan of him personally, but Bruke's a smart GM, and despite the Seguin kid ending up a Bruin, I think trading for Kessel was smart. That kid creates offense at will when he's on. Plus the East is so wide open, aside from Pittsburgh, Washington, and Boston being locks for the post season, I wouldn't be surprised if anyone else made or missed. Just too many question marks in the East.

You should read the comments on the Yahoo! News article about this. Ugh. And we wonder why most of the world hates us.

We're the same way here. We get all our PCs from one vendor company wide, sign a 3 year lease, then send them back as they expire. Massive pain in the ass as it's EVERYTHING we use- from the most critical production server down to the lowly workstation on a team leader's desk. I think we do it for some kind of break on depreciation of assets though. Can't see any other reason why we'd do it this way. It's certainly no cheaper than buying/ building PCs with various specs from local vendors who would absolutely jump at the chance to service a footprint like my plant. As for the efficiency stuff- funny story. We used to make all of the visors for our headliners at a plant in Kentucky. Some big wheel figured out it'd be a ton cheaper to ship that operation to Mexico. Obviously it'd be more on freight, but the company would more than make up for it on lower wages, so the plan was approved and the visor operation was sent to Mexico. Fast forward about 10 years later and take into account the drug lords, border war, horrible quality, late (or sometimes just flat out non-) shipments, and a unionized workforce south of the border, wonder how much cheaper it actually is... I heard one of my materials guys say that the visor plant spent something like a quarter of a million dollars on expedite (emergency) freight three weeks ago because of issues with the union workforce. Week before they'd spent half a mil. Just on their emergency freight. Wonder if the guy who dreamed up this brilliant plan hears about it now?

If they keep it like the comic, it's really not. As far as Rick being in the hospital at the start, I'm not sure who came up with the idea first- I didn't get into the comic until 2006, but that was well after it'd begun. I'd guess both Kirkman and whoever wrote the script for 28 Days Later were both probably working on it around the same time, but again, that's just a guess. The storyline for TWD is a lot more about the people interaction than fighting zombies. Sure, there's instances where they throw down, but a huge amount of the drama in the series is the characters interacting with each other, losing their humanity, and dealing and the other survivors they run across.

The comic is fucking fantastic. I'm not a comic book guy by any means, but if there's something really good out there, I'll check it out. The Walking Dead is one of those. Really, really high hopes for this. If it's 1/2 as good as the comic, it'll be better than 99% of what's on over here. Absolutely cannot wait!

Wonder if it's one belonging to BP? According to Yahoo News, it's owned by a company called Mariner who was/ in the process of being purchased by another company called Apache. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_gulf_rig_exp...GZvaWxwbGF0Zg-- At least nobody died this time...

Owned this last year. Sold it to buy this Holy mackrel! Nice one, man!

Bradley has gotten better as I've watched him. I think he'd be a great fit for NUFC- he's generally used as a defensive mid on the (US, obviously) national side, but he's got some offensive upside as well and while he plays pretty conservatively, he does know when it's safe to make a run or join in on a rush. I think a lot of people get mired in the past when it comes to looking at/ evaluating players. Bradley got hit with the "coach's kid" tag early on, and who knows, he may have deserved it back then, but I can't think of a better center midfielder on the USMNT at the moment.

My folks texted me on the way into work this morning about this article- http://www.courierpress.com/news/2010/aug/...a-helping-foot/ Sounds like a Geordie will be playing for one of my local colleges!
