ManyEyes™: Fix a Denial Of Service, create a Remote Code Execution!
So you might recall the idea to name Fedora 16 “Beefy Miracle”. Somehow they managed it to accept that name for Fedora 17.
Now, Fedora has a few rules for release names. Including, but not limited to,
Show how the name meets the “is-a” test. For example, “Schnozz is a ____, and so is Keister.” Names for releases N and N+1 must be related, and names for releases N and N+2 cannot share the same relationship.
Now I’d sure love to know how this works out for Fedora 17. Surprisingly, their suggestions table leaves the field empty ...
Not really a FUD, but an answer to something I’ve always wondered: Why the hell do we need 10 different directories for binaries? A stunning illustration of the haphazard development of UNIX standards.
This one is absolutely, for sure, not FUD. It’s astonishingly even-handed: the only comment on either Linux or Windows is the following:
“We’re all familiar with Linux trolls who disrupt Windows threads, and Windows trolls who disrupt Linux discussions.”
Linked here for three reasons:
(1) It’s one of the least obnoxious things OSNews has come up with in recent memory.
(2) Amusingly, it was linked from yet another new Loon on the pog-blog. No particular reason; it’s just that they’re turning paranoid over there, now that there are a few independent minds posting comments.

Now all you winbreds can shut up about GNU/Linux not having your precious photoshop.
Lookie here, folks. A beautiful privilege escalation flaw was found in the Linux kernel. Yes, that’s right, the Kernel. You can’t subdivide Linux to argue not our fault, it’s not really part of Linux anyway. Many eyes opened this hole up, and didn’t see that they did so.
I wonder if Pog will argue that Linux is designed to fail. Though curiously, he missed the X hole reported a few days ago.
Not FUD, but interesting, nonetheless.
So, Gates foundation will fund MIT, where X was brought upon the world, to create an educational MMO. We can only pray, that ~25 years later, the guys at MIT have now clear concept what a server and a client is, otherwise the result would be hilarious. Oh, and Bill Gates is the vilest man in the world or something.
Many eyes are still busy reviewing PHP 5.4. So look what RC6 brought up:
- Hash . Removed Salsa10/Salsa20, which are actually stream ciphers (Mike)
Wait what? Those existed since ext/hash was added to PHP. And now you notice they are stream ciphers?!
For Adam King who thinks Microsoft is synonymous with evil and Mafia and the like, Apple has decided that they own whatever you publish through its “iTextbook” service. Your work they benefit from, and they can block you from republishing it elsewhere. Your work. Even Apple fanatic John Gruber calls this move Apple at its worst.
Do you really think Apple is going to join your freetard crusade?
