Microsoft Releases Image Handling Patch
by Jonathan Hutchins 15 Sep '04

15 Sep '04

According to Computerworld, "Microsoft has released a "critical" patch to fix a security flaw affecting how Windows, Office and developer tools software programs process images in the JPEG image format." That sounds suspiciously like the imagelib vulnerabilities that were patched last week. You don't suppose Microsof would stoop to using free Open Source code internally in Windows, do you?

According to the News, and we all know how reliable news sources are, it is a different bug entirely. Besides I thought the imagelib affected png formats. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jonathan Hutchins > > According to Computerworld, > > "Microsoft has released a "critical" patch to fix a security flaw > affecting how Windows, Office and developer tools software programs > process images in the JPEG image format." > > That sounds suspiciously like the imagelib vulnerabilities > that were patched > last week.

RE: Computerworld: Sybase Offers Free Database For Linux
by Brian Densmore 15 Sep '04

FYI, both sites appear to be Firefox/firebird/firefengle friendly. About Sybase, they may be a little too late to the game, but alternatively it offers a M$ -> Linux pathway for current Sybase users. So I say anything that creates Linux opportunity and choice is a good thing. Personally, I think MySQL is winning the DB wars. With Postgres a close second. I wonder what Wal-Mart uses these days? They have a ***Monster*** DB and ***Monster*** transaction activity. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jonathan Hutchins > > "Sybase is releasing its new ASE Express Edition for free in hopes > of attracting customers who will later upgrade to Sybase's ASE Small > Business Edition. > > http://www.computerworld.com/newsletter/0,4902,95856,00.html?nlid=LIN" > > (Note: Sybase's web page is not konqueror friendly, it's > amusing how it > fails; computerworld's isn't great either but if you scroll down far > enough you'll find the article.) > > _______________________________________________ > Kclug mailing list > Kclug(a)kclug.org > http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug >

Not true. I had the opportunity to purchase a .44 "semi-automatic" rifle a few years back. Totally legally, before the Clinton ban. This is called a semi-automatic, but in reality is a .44 sub-machine gun. A simple modification turns this semi-automatic "assault weapon" into a fully automatic mass-people-killing "assault weapon". The modification is and almost always has been illegal, but lots of people do it anyway, I'm sure. I'm sorry, but I really see no reason for these weapons to be legal. I have a gun and use it to kill food with (food <> human beings), and Shooting a deer with an assault weapon pretty much nullifies the food quality part of it, not to mention the fur/leather quality.

RAID array troubles... suggestions?
by Rich Edelman 14 Sep '04

14 Sep '04

I'm trying to get a new fileserver at work up and running, we're using SuSE 9.1 with a 3ware 9500S-12 RAID card (uses the 3w-9xxx module), and 12 250GB SATA drives. Problem is, I can't create a partition on this thing of over 300G. The default SuSE kernel does include large block device support (CONFIG_LBD=y). Linux fdisk has problems with creating a device over 2TB, but even GNU parted can't create more than a 300G partition on this raid array. I suppose I COULD forego the partition and create the array right on /dev/sdb (instead of /dev/sdb1), but I really don't feel comfortable with doing such a thing. I have tried the latest kernel and the latest firmware for the RAID card, too. Anyone have any ideas? The RAID card itself can see and use the entire array (I hit Alt-3 when booting, and verified the array), so I'm beginning to think it's got to be a driver issue. Rich

"Sybase is releasing its new ASE Express Edition for free in hopes of attracting customers who will later upgrade to Sybase's ASE Small Business Edition. http://www.computerworld.com/newsletter/0,4902,95856,00.html?nlid=LIN" (Note: Sybase's web page is not konqueror friendly, it's amusing how it fails; computerworld's isn't great either but if you scroll down far enough you'll find the article.)
