43 Million Americans Use P2P Software
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/09/0248242
robl writes "If the [0]NYTimes article is correct then somewhere around 1 in 6 Americans apparently are [1]unindicted felons. In the eyes of the public file swapping is as morally wrong as speeding on the NJ Turnpike. The rest of the article talks about the RIAA's carrot/stick/education approach and how they may find themselves entering into negotiations for some forms of file sharing. Also the EFF will be running ads in Rolling Stone next month asking if enthusiasts are tired of being treated like criminals." Links

this software rendered [1]four-dimensional analog of Rubik's Cube. With

[0]Ant writes "Synopsis: Opera, Mozilla & Netscape with javascript
enabled are [1]vulnerable to remote command execution. This has been
tested on Microsoft, and many many Unices. Macintosh may also be vuln.
Ironically enough, IE is unaffected." Update: 06/08 23:56 GMT by [2]H:
The problem seems to be one in the Java security model itself; but the
evidence seems to be that if you turn off JavaScript, you turn off the
vulnerability. Update: 06/09 00:56 GMT by [3]T: According to this
followup message from Mozilla security group member Daniel Veditz, the
problem is actually one that's [4]already been fixed in Mozilla 1.3,
and not a remote command execution vulnerability at all. (Thanks to
reader Jared Klett and others.)
