Good show old chap! Britain’s cultural minister wxpressed his feelings regarding this years crop of finalists for the £20,000 Turner Prize in art. He called them "coneptual bullshit" and went on to say
"The Turner Prize entries are tat,” he said. “They don’t have any ideas and they’re made rather badly. They’re just very boring, very [...]

Buffer overflows likely to be around for another decade

30 October, 2002 (22:12) | Computer | No comments

Oh my just what we needed to hear - the single biggest flaw in all OS’s is not going to be easily fixed. This is not an MS problem alone. It affects all operating systems because virtually all OS’s were written in C and buffer overflows are common in apps written in C.
