Microsoft better at patching XP than Vista?
A Microsoft security executive released data Thursday showing that, six months after shipping Windows Vista, his company has left more publicly disclosed Vista bugs unpatched than it did with Windows XP. In total, Microsoft has patched 12 out of 27 disclosed Vista vulnerabilities in the six months after it first shipped last November. During XP's first six months, Microsoft's security team patched 36 out of 39 known bugs. The data was published by Jeff Jones, a Microsoft security strategy director, who said that overall, Vista was doing better than XP. "Windows Vista continues to show a trend of fewer total and fewer high-severity vulnerabilities at the six month mark compared to its predecessor product, Windows XP," he wrote.
Jones didn't address the larger number of unpatched vulnerabilities, but he did note most of the unpatched Vista bugs were not critical. Microsoft had left only one high-severity Vista vulnerability unpatched during the period. At the end of XP's first six months, there were two high-severity bugs that were unpatched. Microsoft patched 23 high-severity XP bugs during its first six months, compared with only one high-severity Vista flaw. Jones argued that Vista had a lower number of vulnerabilities than competitive operating system products such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Mac OS X.

BLACK ROCK CITY, Nevada -- It's hot in the desert, but not too hot to set something on fire.
Amid other activities, Burning Man attendees spit flames and gaze at fiery art installations as the annual festival's iconic Man awaits his inevitable fate.
Left: In the biggest harshed mellow at Burning Man so far this year, the sun decides to come up again. Early risers and those who have not slept wallow confusedly in the solar judgment.
: Photo: Kat Wade/Wired.comThe streets of Black Rock City hustle and bustle with activity as a swarthy unknown by the name of Swearengen arrives seeking wealth and power by any means necessary.
: Photo: Kat Wade/Wired.comThe Cheshire Cat makes its way across the desert and sheds a tear for the old, more wholesome, wonderland.
: Photo: Kat Wade/Wired.comBurners walk far out on the playa to experience a light and music show created by a team of 20 with weather balloons, off-the-shelf Christmas tree hardware and software, and various insulation and irrigation pipes. This year's decorations are sooo going to one-up the more perfect and WASP-y anarchist festival across the street, Flaming Dude.

Aluminum Fences: Advantages Over Ordinary Fencing
Fences are useful: For the prevention of children drowning in pools For keeping children or pets contained To help prevent theft To enhance the outer appearance of your house, pool area or garden Too add value to your real estate Aluminum Fences Aluminum Fences can be made available in many colors, styles, grades and heights. Not to mention, aluminum fences will also provide a pleasing look to any property. Aluminum fences can be used for pools, property and homes alike. Aluminum fences are specially designed to contain children, pools and animals making you feel safer, more secure and confident. Advantages of Aluminum Fencing: a) Lifetime warranty: Aluminum fences are powder coated and come with a lifetime warranty against cracking, peeling and chipping, not to mention against defects in workmanship. b) Multiple Colors: Different colors are available on any style/grade of aluminum fences, for any application. c) Economical: Aluminum fences are less expensive over the long term. Wood and chain link will have to be replaced at some point, not to mention the maintenance/painting during ownership. With any maintenance free product, it initially will be more expensive, but over time it will be less expensive. d) No Maintenance: Aluminum fences are all aluminum, stainless steel fasteners and fiberglass nylon gate hardware, therefore nothing will rust. e) Meets safety (B.O.C.A.) standards: Aluminum fences are designed to meet pool codes, whether it's a commercial or residential application. f) Easy Installation: Aluminum fences can be installed very quickly. The sections can be pre-assembled, post pre-punched and the gates welded. The most difficult part will be digging the holes. Aluminum fences are priced according to the manufacturer's grade and style. Fences for residential purpose are made of lighter gauge aluminum and are priced lower than those fences which are for strict industrial use. If one is looking for an ornamental fence, it would be much better to approach a company like QCE having specialized experience in ornamental fence design and installation. Also, when one is buying aluminum fencing for a pool, it is very essential to take into consideration the manufacturer's credentials because pool fencing requires certain strict specifications to be followed as per B.O.C.A regulations. Poolside fences are also exposed to a lot of moisture, so it is essential to use fencing that you should not have to maintain at any point in time. Although most aluminum fences may give the same appearance, there is much to distinguish in terms of quality. The two main components that contribute to the manufacturing cost are the strength of the alloy used for the fence and the wall thicknesses of each individual component. While buying an Aluminum Fence it is important to look at the specifications supplied by the manufacture so that the price paid is ultimately worth it.
QCE Fence is a company that has been in the Fencing Industry for the last 20 successful years. Its product range includes residential, commercial, industrial and heavy industrial fences every design imaginable. Hardware or individual components are also available at QCE Fence. All their products come with a lifetime guarantee against cracking, peeling and chipping.
