Holy Code

Good pilgrim, you do wrong your
hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows
in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims'
hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy
palmers' kiss.

CERT's just posted Technical Cyber Security Alert TA06-101A for Windows and IE ... exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service on a vulnerable system...

These remote execution interfaces allows multiple node assemblages to share subassemblages of nodes and form partially ordered distributed state based service sets which may use any service which is node-local or network addressable.

It doesn't seem so scary when you write it like it was a design goal.

Comments

I was involved in a multiple node assemblage once in college. Man, it was hot.

prevert.

ironically, in computing theory we call this "shared fate", and the term came into use well before casual exchage of body fluids became depricated on rational risk management grounds.

only once? what, did you go to a service academy or yale or some other retarded hole in the wall?

I believe in such assemblage of multiple nodes, race conditions may apply.
