Chips_B_Malroy"The exploit, to be shown off at the Ekoparty Conference later this week, could affect millions of websites that use AES encryption functions built into Microsoft's ASP.NET software to protect the integrity of cookies during user sessions. Since 'sessions' are used in web applications such as online banking, shopping and just about any website that requires a login, the exploit is particularly worrying."Sep 15 21:31
Chips_B_Malroy"Thai Duong and Juliano Rizzo, the two researchers who showcased the attack, told reporters, "We knew ASP.NET was vulnerable to our attack several months ago, but we didn't know how serious it is until a couple of weeks ago. It turns out that the vulnerability in ASP.NET is the most critical amongst other frameworks. In short, it totally destroys ASP.NET security.""Sep 15 21:32
Diablo-D3umSep 15 21:32
Diablo-D3but heres a problemSep 15 21:32
Diablo-D3ALL security bugs are criticalSep 15 21:32
Chips_B_Malroy"Duong and Rizzo's last statement claiming that their attack "totally destroys" security is particularly chilling. Apparently the technique used in the exploit has been around since 2002 and it is surprising that not only has Microsoft missed this one but also security researchers and hackers who are usually adept at taking advantage of any seemingly minor weakness in code."Sep 15 21:33
Diablo-D3up to the point its above criticalSep 15 21:33
Diablo-D3critical just means shit can go horribly wrongSep 15 21:33
Diablo-D3security flaws are a step above thatSep 15 21:33
Chips_B_Malroyespecially critial with MicrosoftSep 15 21:33
Diablo-D3I just assume Microsoft shit already has known security flaws and go from thereSep 15 21:34
Diablo-D3it makes life easierSep 15 21:34
Chips_B_Malroy"Duong said, "It's worth noting that the attack is 100 [per cent] reliable, [that is], one can be sure that once they run the attack, they can exploit the target. It's just a matter of time. If the attacker is lucky, then he can own any ASP.NET website in seconds. The average time for the attack to complete is 30 minutes. The longest time it ever takes is less than 50 minutes.""Sep 15 21:34

Chips_B_Malroythis article is very interesting. in what it does not saySep 15 21:36
Chips_B_Malroyit appears to me, that if Microsoft actually has 36.8 billion in cash, (if we believe them or not) and its mostly outside the USA, is Microsoft doing this to avoid taxes?Sep 15 21:37
Chips_B_MalroyI would say yes.Sep 15 21:37
Diablo-D3wellSep 15 21:38
Diablo-D3to be fairSep 15 21:38
Diablo-D3if you're an international companySep 15 21:38
Diablo-D3and you can avoid taxesSep 15 21:38
Diablo-D3you MUST do itSep 15 21:38
Diablo-D3otherwise your shareholders could reasonably sue you if they felt like being dicksSep 15 21:38
Chips_B_MalroyOr to avoid auditing, and perhaps Microsoft really does not have 36.8 billion scattered around world?Sep 15 21:38
Diablo-D3and generally, they're dicksSep 15 21:38
MinceRonly if you're an international public company :>Sep 15 21:38
MinceRbut m$ is oneSep 15 21:38
Diablo-D3MinceR: well yeahSep 15 21:38
Diablo-D3even private ones have ownersSep 15 21:38
Diablo-D3people who arent IN the company but still have large stakesSep 15 21:39
MinceRthose owners do get to make all the calls thoughSep 15 21:39
Diablo-D3they usually dont get to make anySep 15 21:39
Diablo-D3they just get to be pissy when their investment isnt growing fast enoughSep 15 21:39
MinceRthey're usually few enough that they can say "we don't want even the appearance of evading taxes"Sep 15 21:39
Chips_B_MalroySo is it possible, that MS could actually default in the USA and still be rich in the rest of the world?Sep 15 21:40
Diablo-D3ahh, but theres ILLEGALLY evading taxesSep 15 21:40
Diablo-D3and then theres doing it legallySep 15 21:40
Chips_B_Malroywithout borrowingSep 15 21:40
Diablo-D3theres an absolute fuckton of ways of screwing governments on taxes legallySep 15 21:40
Diablo-D3a company MUST do itSep 15 21:40
Chips_B_MalroyMS has been caught evading beforeSep 15 21:40
Diablo-D3MS has been caught bending and breaking rulesSep 15 21:41
Chips_B_MalroyyesSep 15 21:41
Diablo-D3but if no one nails them to the wall for it, they're not "wrong"Sep 15 21:41
Diablo-D3especially if they can pay off the right peopleSep 15 21:41
Chips_B_MalroyagreedSep 15 21:41
Chips_B_Malroystandard operating procedure thereSep 15 21:41
Diablo-D3which microsoft has 36.8 billion to do so withSep 15 21:41
Chips_B_MalroymaybeSep 15 21:41
Diablo-D3and they'll pay off anyone who says otherwiseSep 15 21:41

Diablo-D3its better than, say, russiaSep 15 21:42

Diablo-D3russia is so horrible, even microsoft doesnt wanna be part of that shitSep 15 21:42
Chips_B_MalroyMS moves its cash around, like a 3 card monte gameSep 15 21:42
Diablo-D3technically thats check kitingSep 15 21:42
Chips_B_Malroyfrom the last link:  "Microsoft?s largest software producer in the world, intends to borrow this year ?as much as possible? to pay dividends and share repurchases, the company having a lot of cash locked outside the United States, told Bloomberg a source close to the situation, says Telegraph Business."Sep 15 21:43
Chips_B_Malroywhich makes me tend to think, that MS does not have a lot of free cash within the USA to use.Sep 15 21:44
Diablo-D3which that statement alone doesnt say muchSep 15 21:44
Diablo-D3they probably dont have free cash IN the us to useSep 15 21:44
Diablo-D3I bet they have a lot of short term investments they dont wanna dump yetSep 15 21:44
Diablo-D3or other stuff that they COULD do, but it would be not a great idea to do itSep 15 21:44
Diablo-D3remember, you have to look at this in comparison to the entire economySep 15 21:45
Diablo-D3if you dont have to spend your own money, dont; spend money of other'sSep 15 21:45
Chips_B_MalroyThis is supposedly their most profitable market, so why does not Microsoft have lots of cash to spare in the USA?Sep 15 21:45
Diablo-D3arguably profitableSep 15 21:45
Diablo-D3they probably pay the most taxes here and have the most employees hereSep 15 21:45
Chips_B_Malroythey are either skimming it somehow, or dodging taxes somehowSep 15 21:46
Chips_B_Malroyor its just not thereSep 15 21:46
Diablo-D3like I saidSep 15 21:46
Diablo-D3if you can spend the money of other before your own money, do itSep 15 21:46
Diablo-D3they probably have quite a few investments that they will loose money if they sellSep 15 21:47
Chips_B_Malroywhats the word I am looking for.  LaundryingSep 15 21:47
MinceRhow difficult is it to move cash into the usa?Sep 15 21:47

Diablo-D3Chips_B_Malroy: no.Sep 15 21:47
Chips_B_Malroywhat I am saying, is MS is moving cash to outside the USSASep 15 21:47
Diablo-D3lets say you invested in something at the height of the market 3-4 years agoSep 15 21:48

Diablo-D3you havent lost any money until you're interested in selling itSep 15 21:48

Diablo-D3it works on the flip side, you havent made any money until you sell it 2-3 years from now.Sep 15 21:48

Chips_B_MalroyI know this has been discussed on this forum to great detail.Sep 15 22:13
Chips_B_MalroyI just had to add a couple of points here.  First, while I mostly agree with Roy's point that MS has put their man in charge of Nokia, it could turn out the other way around.  I say Roy is probably 60% correct on this one.  As in theirs a 40% chance that actually Elop hates MS at this point and couldn't wait to get away from them.Sep 15 22:16
Chips_B_MalroyWhy I think Roy is right.Sep 15 22:16
Chips_B_Malroyfrom the link:  "In rapid succession, the company has ousted its CEO, 30-year Nokia veteran Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, appointed a new CEO, Stephen Elop, a Microsoft executive from the enterprise software side, and seen the departure of Anssi Vanjoki, head of mobile solutions and one-time CEO candidate"Sep 15 22:17
Chips_B_MalroyAnssi Vanjoki had 29 years with Nokia as an employee.  He should have got the job, and yet, Nokia went outside the company and hired,  Ask why?Sep 15 22:18
cubevectorMSFT has been hovering around the mid-20s for a long timeSep 15 22:20
Chips_B_MalroyStephen Elop got a top job at Microsoft like many others at Microsoft did.  Few actually rise from the ranks at MS and get to the very top ranks.  Why is this?  Elop owned his own company before joining Microsoft and getting that gravy job.  Its only the powerful from outside the company that get those jobs.Sep 15 22:20
Chips_B_MalroyElop was already rich before getting the MS job.Sep 15 22:21
Chips_B_MalroyLook at the board of directors at MS, the guy that is the Netflix CEO that got the positionSep 15 22:22

Chips_B_MalroyWhile you might not encounter it very often, Microsoft Publisher is still very much alive, thanks to its presence within the Microsoft Office suite. It serves a useful purpose as a way to lay out relatively simple documents, primarily destined for consumption by fellow employees.

Chips_B_MalroyTo the rescue comes Markzware's PUB2ID, an InDesign plugin that can import and convert Publisher 2002 through 2010 files, while preserving the content, as well as the styles and formatting. Items that PUB2ID can convert from Publisher to InDesign include page size, positioning, color models, fonts and styles, text attributes and tables, text flow, layers, text wrap and linked text boxes, as well as providing automaticSep 15 22:53
