"The Silence of Bill Hicks"
[Society]
@ 12:33 PM
This is what I think CBS, the producers of the Letterman show, the networks and governments fear the most - that one man free, expressing his own thoughts and point of view, might somehow inspire others to think for themselves and listen to that voice of reason inside them, and then perhaps, one by one we will awaken from this dream of lies and illusions that the world, the governments and their propaganda arm, the mainstream media, feeds us continuously over fifty-two channels, twenty-four hours a day.
What I realised was that they don't want the people to be awake. The elite ruling class wants us asleep so we'll remain a docile, apathetic herd of passive consumers and non-participants in the true agendas of our governments, which is to keep us separate and present an image of a world filled with unresolvable problems, that they, and only they, might somewhere, in the never-arriving future, may be able to solve. Just stay asleep, America. Keep watching television. Keep paying attention to the infinite witnesses of illusion we provide you over "Luciferís Dream Box".

Buffer overflow in leaked Microsoft code
[Software]
@ 08:21 AM
Expected, but not this lame - Slashdot is discussing a buffer overflow bug found in one of the files supposed to be from the leaked Microsoft codes - "Exploit Based On Leaked Windows Code Released".
A good explanation of how the overflow happens, for the not-too-code-savvy people. There is always a chance that this bug has been caught later on and fixed, as evident from the fact that IE6 seems to be immune to the bug, though unpatched IE5 is not.
[Update] And be sure to read the great K5 article analysing the comments in the codes!.
