RTFA "Under the proposed rules, all phones and tablets sold in Europe will have to comply by the fall of 2024. Laptops will have longer to make the switch. The commission will also be able to set standards for wireless charging in the future."

Just search for wsus server update windows 1607. After updating to 1607, it won't connect to the wsus server until you manually apply patches to the machine. I made that mistake of installing, but luckily I did a test run of only 10 computers.

In firefox it called inspect element, and delete the node that greys it out. I"m sure chrome has the same feature. I've had to start doing this on Facebook also.

Sun Pushes Emergency Java Patch 90

Posted by timothy on Thursday April 15, 2010 @03:53PM from the emergency-shot-of-soy-latte dept.

Trailrunner7 writes "In a sudden about-face, Sun has rushed out a Java update to fix a drive-by download vulnerability that exposed Windows users to in-the-wild malware attacks. The patch comes less than a week after Sun told a Google researcher it did not consider the issue serious enough to warrant an out-of-cycle patch and less than a day after researchers spotted live exploits on a booby-trapped Web site. The flaw, which was also discovered independently by Ruben Santamarta, occurs because the Java-Plugin Browser is running 'javaws.exe' without validating command-line parameters. Despite the absence of documentation, a researcher was about to figure out that Sun removed the code to run javaws.exe from the Java plugin. The about-face by Sun is another sign that some big vendors still struggle to understand the importance of working closely with white hat researchers to understand the implications of certain vulnerabilities. In this case, Google's Tavis Ormandy was forced to use the full-disclosure weapon to force the vendor into a proper response."

Duke Nukem 3D Ported To Nokia N900 95

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday December 29, 2009 @11:03PM from the all-outta-gum dept.

andylim writes "It looks as if Duke Nukem isn't completely 'nuked' after all. Someone has ported the 90s classic on to a Nokia N900. As you'll see in the video, you control Duke using the Qwerty keypad and shoot using the touchscreen. I'm wondering how long it will take for this to get on other mobile platforms." In other Duke news, reader Jupix points out that 3D Realms' CEO Scott Miller recently said, "There are numerous other Duke games in various stages of development, several due out this year. We are definitely looking to bring Duke into casual gaming spaces, plus there are other major Duke games in production."

My wife a teacher, the problem is students don't study for the test and know they can make up the test(this is the current policy at Visalia Unified school district). They then know what is on the test and then look it up. If the teacher has 2 or 3 copies, they just keep retaking it. It's a lot of work for Teachers to make up a new test, just so the student can keep retaking without studying. It a wake up call in High school when they tell the teacher, passing it out, and they say I"ll make it up tomorrow because I didn't study, and the teacher goes, no you won't.
