Quoterodocop Maybe Baidu site handles differently calls from our countries/IPs? It's a horrible thought, but it looks a reasonable assumption.

Quoterodocop As I said, first run gives error pokemon in EVERY browser. Just reload to see real picture. That's odd. As I said in this post, my other 3 browsers opened PanBaidu on the first visit. At the moment I'm having latency problems, s1.pan.bdstatic is refusing to come to Australia for some reason. If I force the matter by leaning on F5, all browsers show me the bird. Opera

G'day mikeyww - The problem W3C Validator had with this page is the same problem KM76 has. It is more than "just" the <noscript> block, although removing that allowed the full validation. The <noscript> was actually referencing a script... It would never work regardless of which browser you had. And in fact it was not responsible for K-M's crash. The main

Removed excess white space from source file, passed it to W3C Unicorn validator. Much pruning in the <head> before sanity returned. Eventually removed a very annoying <noscript> block--I still cannot see what was wrong with it--and wound up with 53 errors and 6 warnings just in the XML.

128. Re: Quick crash

Interesting. Lit up the Console, cleared it, went to OspreyPacks. The Console gathered a dozen or so CSS, then K-M crashed quietly. Try again, but switch off the CSS error count... I got some chrome on the screen, but nothing in the Console... All crashes happen after a few seconds, say 10-15. I had expected to see XML or JS errors. None.

For what it's worth, only Pale Moon 26.2x64 and IE11x32 render the PanBaidu page properly. Opera 12.17x64 doesn't get the Flash/HTML5 on the right, but that does not surprise me due to its age. KM just gets the bird. FWIW, on DataFileHost, this is Pale Moon 26.2: and this is KM76RC: We do seem to have a rendering problem here. Having said that, given that KM appears to

Further... I cleared the caches on my other browsers, then put all the SSL-secured sites into my host file, and lit the browsers up. And got the same result that KM gave me: a text-view as shown above. Then I cleared the entries. And now all my browsers do what KM does, refusing to load the unsafe elements. But KM was able to override the cache on the first view. I'll have to che

As JohnHell correctly points out, the primary usage of UDF is in optical media file systems, it's been designed for that purpose. All current versions of Windows understand UDF.

Assume you're in a User account, but using MalwareBytes, which uses 7-Zip. MB must have significant permissions, usually beyond those required by you in your normal work. An attacker can now use those (M permissions for his own purposes, which might well include resetting a login password (cheap!) or even altering something like Su-Run or CryptoPrevent settings (much more useful).

It's a bit like leaving your you-beaut safe unlocked inside your well-fortified house. In itself, not a problem... until someone breaks into the house. Yes, the vulnerability will affect the average user, even those who do not normally work in Admin. Those who do work in Admin are especially at risk. And yes it would affect servers. But then nobody uses servers for desk work, do they?

Hi Yogi - thanks. Yes, I'm familiar with M$ "security" overkill in W7, I'm still grieving for W2K. It was most certainly a permissions stuffup if the archive was intact.
