Crime Wave Thwarted in Second Life (Dec 02 2007 20:45 GMT) - Ponca City, We Love You writes "The Mercury News reports that a vulnerability in the way Second Life protects a user's money has been identified. Risks for users are reportedly limited because the researchers say the flaw can be quickly patched. The flaw exploits a known problem with Apple's QuickTime - when a virtual character passes by an infected object planted by hackers, the Second Life windows activates QuickTime so it can play the video or picture. Hackers can direct the Second Life windows to a malicious Web site that then allows them to 'take over the user's avatar and force it to hand over its Linden cash. Second Life is recommending that users disable streaming video playback in the Second Life viewer except when you are attending a known and trusted venue. |

Questionable Data Mining Concerns IRC Community (Dec 02 2007 20:45 GMT) - Jessekeys writes "Two days ago an article on TechCrunch about IRSeeK revealed to the hamlet that a service logs conversations of public IRC channels and put them into a public searchable database. What is especially shocking for the locality is that the logging bots are very hard to identify. They have human-like nicks, connect via anonymous Tor nodes and authenticate as mIRC clients. IRSeeK never asked for canonization and violates the privacy terms of networks and users. A lot of chatters were deeply disturbed finding themselves on the search engine in logs which could date back to 2005. |

I Need Some Inputs On A 2006 DRW Manual... (Dec 02 2007 20:43 GMT) - 1) Did any of the 2006 engines have an EGR valve? 2) Does the engine for the manual have a lower HP & TQ rating? 3) Is it possible that several hundred 2006 5.9L trucks were assembled in Detroit? The reason I'm asking is because I'm a fulltime RVer, I just arrived in Las Vegas to find my refrigerator is broken, and I potentially have a unique opportunity to buy the truck that belongs to the Mobile RV Service guy who just stopped by to measure my refrigerator and go check options for getting a new one. |
