Another peace of software thats hard to find is a patch that fixes RollerCoaster Tycoon: Loopy Landscapes. Since I like playing this old game, bellow you will find the patch that fixes the game so it will run properly and not throw an error on startup.

One of the gifts I got for Christmas was Season 2 of Dexter on DVD, the cool part about this is the way it came packaged.

So been holding back on this until their is a patch as their is no point in contributing to the media surge until there is a solution. It interesting how one little bug finally gets picked up by the media when more serious ones that could form the bases of a worm don't get coverage. Yes ten thousand websites or so may be infected but that's nothing to do with the bug, you see most of those sites are infected because of other flaws in other software, SQL injections for one are an example.

Now I get people often asking me, why would people want to do this kind of thing, well there are some primary reasons for finding an exploit and using it to leverage peoples computers:
  1. Make Microsoft look like idiots
  2. Because your a punk kid with nothing better to do
  3. ...
  4. Profit

Last ones for the year in theory, so it's time to update. One of the patchs is for DST changes.

You can see the details in the Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary for December 2008

There are strange things on the internet, the best are things that are inappropriately funny. I present for you enjoyment Cats That Look Like Hitler.
