SAJAX Version 0.10: PHP: Support for POST.  This is apparently “per [my] suggestions”. [Via Tim Bray] Looking at the code, SAJAX Version 0.10 now supports GET and POST interchangeably.  While this does have the desired affect of allowing requests of virtually any size, it does nothing to prevent unsafe requests from being made via HTTP GET.  Nor does it address any of the encoding issues.

Microsoft Says Buy New Windows or Be
Unsafe 09/24/2004 09:49 PM

CNet: Microsoft: To secure IE, upgrade to XP. Microsoft this week reiterated that it would keep the new version of Microsoft's IE Web browser available only as part of the recently released Windows XP operating system, Service Pack 2. The upgrade to XP from any previous Windows versions is $99 when ordered from Microsoft. Starting from scratch, the operating system costs $199. That, analysts say, is a steep price to pay to secure a browser that swept the market as a free, standalone product.

So much for the notion that Microsoft might ever turn over a new leaf. A company with more than $50 billion in cash at the end of the last quarter is refusing to help its customers, despite the company's song and dance about wanting security to be the top priority. The stance is even worse when you consider that XP is basically just an upgrade of Windows 2000 -- built from the same code base, that is. There might be a small case to be made for orphaning earlier versions of Windows, which are very different code, but this is just too much. Plenty of enterprise customers are doing just fine with Windows 2000. Microsoft's message to them is "screw you; upgrade or face the consequences." Installing Mozilla or Opera isn't sufficient, because IE components have been boiled into the OS and will be launched even if users don't want them to. Again, we see why Microsoft should have been broken up -- and why the browser should be a separate application.

Disneyland fights for right to operate
unsafe coasters 04/08/2005 06:26 PM
Cory Doctorow: Ernest sez, "Disneyland is fighting a California appeals court decision that its rollercoaster-like rides (Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Matterhorn Bobsleds, etc.) must adhere to the same safety standards as public buses and actual railroads. The court decision would require rollercoaster operators in California to use 'utmost care and diligence' as opposed to merely 'reasonable care,' which is the current standard. I'm not quite sure how 'utmost care and diligence' is compatible with rollercoasters at all."

Disneyland's coasters have been falling to pieces, killing people, and going down for multi-year unscheduled maintenance ever since an ex-McKinsey consultant was put in charge of the park and heavily slashed the preventative maintenance regime while firing the park's most senior operators, many of whom had run the one-of-a-kind rides since the day they opened and were familiar with their many quirks.

This move is in marked contrast to the stuff that Disney got up to in Florida, where they essentially bought an entire township (actually, an "improvement district" which is like a town but more autonomous) so that they could write their own building code (among other reasons). The building code they wrote let them build things like fiberglass castles, which are not in the usual town codes -- and the castles and other structures they built have stood the test of time.

But in Disneyland, it seems to me that they're pushing for the right to remain negligent, not the right to innovate beyond the imagination embodied in a construction code.

Richard Derevan, a lawyer for Disney, told the justices that under the higher standard of care, "something could always be safer. The ride could be slower, the curves less sharp, the hills less steep. The ride may lose its purpose for being."

The case involves a claim filed by the estate of Cristina Moreno, a tourist from Spain who visited Disneyland in Anaheim on her honeymoon in 2000. Her family says she suffered a brain hemorrhage after riding the Indiana Jones Adventure, which simulates an off-road jeep ride. She died a few months later.

How-To Tuesday: Disable AutoRun on Windows!: Some good advice here.

The "feature" will, by default, automatically look for a file called Autorun.inf on any CD you pop in to your system — if it finds it, it will execute whatever programs it is instructed. This is a big security issue, as there are a lot of spywares and viruses distributed on CDs — so much so, in fact, Microsoft is disabling it in their next security-focused Windows XP Service Pack 2.

In fact, Microsoft is even disabling this in their next security focused service pack. Add to that, record companies are adding Autorun software which won't allow Windows users to make MP3s from the CDs they've purchased. So in an effort to protect people from Spyware, viruses and other nasty things we're suggesting everyone disables autorun." Link
