I fount the following message on the official phpBB2 website this morning and thought I would let everyone here know about it. QUOTE Recently a serious exploitable issue was discovered in PHP (the scripting language in which phpBB, IPB, vB, etc. are written) versions prior to 4.3.10. The problematical functions include unserialize and realpath. phpBB (along with a great many other scripts including IPB, vB, etc.) use these two functions as a matter of course.
It has come to our attention that code has now been released which uses this exploit in PHP to obtain confidential information in phpBB. Such information includes data contained in phpBB's config.php file. We therefore recommend the following:
1) If you maintain your own server be sure to upgrade to the newest available release of PHP (both versions 4 and 5). Be aware that at this time phpBB 2.0.x has problems functioning under PHP5 without modification.
2) If you pay for hosting ensure you hosting provider has upgraded thier installation of PHP (again remember that phpBB 2.0.x and other scripts will not function under PHP5 without modification).
Please do not submit this PHP issue to our security tracker, it is beyond our control. Fixed versions of PHP do exist and as above we encourage you to ensure your system is running such a version. Equally please examine any "hacking" issues you have carefully to ensure they are not caused by this PHP problem (rather than phpBB). Remember, this is not a phpBB exploit or problem, it's a PHP issue and thus can affect any PHP script which uses the noted functions.

2008 Presidential Debates
How important was this first debate and how did McCain and Obama do? (4) I watched the first in the series of Presidential Debates that the John McCain and Barack Obama are
engaging in. This first one was supposed to be primarily on foreign policy but half of it ended up
being on the 700 billion dollar bank bail-out and on how each presidential hopeful will get the
great country of the USA out of its current economic crisis. I feel that John McCain was slightly
drowned out by Obama concerning the passion and clarity of their speeches. However, I also feel
that McCain backed up his opinions better than Obama did by bringing scenarios in the p....
Help With Compiling My Server
I can't compile it. IMPORTANT!! :( (0) Okay, so I downloaded JDK6.0 UPDATE 7, just like the tutorial said. Now every time I go to compile,
it says I am missing JDK! If someone could help me out, and if they are interested in become the
Head Mod of my private server, I have no problem with giving them those rights. I already made the
compiler but when I open it, and type "C" it won't compile because it says I don't have JDK

and it will be complete! /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid....

Pc Keeps Freezing - Help Please! Xd

it off using the power button. There seems to be no link between the freezing, except it always
happen when i play Guild Wars. but it also happens when I'm not playing it. One thing I have

In-laws
important relationships often not considered (0) Relationships with in-laws are very important. People say that when you get married, you don’t just
marry the person but their family as well. In 55% of divorces, people said that the in-laws were at
least partially responsible. Establishing warm connections early on in the marriage can lead to a
positive relationship with in-laws. One of the most common problems people have with in-laws has to
do with differences in lifestyles. Often, during the first few years of marriage, the couple’s
parents will be around a lot giving endless advice. Later, they will want to s....
Agent-principal Relationships
some info on this important subject (0) In the relationship between an agent and a principal, both parties consent to the agent having the
ability to act on behalf of the principal. This is known as a form of principal-agent relationship
called power of attorney. Such a relationship plays an important role in business, whether it be in
the workplace, a partnership, or a corporation. There are three types of authority in a

the principal directly tells the agent his duties and responsibilities are. This cannot ....
Plants And Water Loss
some info on growing plants in dry conditions (0) Transpiration is a plant’s loss of water, usually through the stomates of leaves. Plants have guard
cells to regulate the water loss. These guard cells open and close the stomates in response to
various environmental conditions; darkness, lack of water within the plant, and extreme temperatures
cause the guard cells to close the stomates while light, plentiful water, and favorable temperatures
cause them to open the stomates. Some stomates must be open even in unfavorable conditions so that
the plant can take in carbon dioxide. Dryland farming is the growing of crops....
Enzymes And Health
Some interesting info on enzymes (0) Enzymes act as catalysts in living organisms which allow important chemical reactions to occur at
lower temperatures. They are not altered in the process and can be used in many reactions. Most of
the chemical reactions that occur in living organisms are regulated by enzymes and would happen much
slower without them. For example, without the digestive enzyme carboxypepdidase, it would take
seven years to digest a hamburger. Ethyl carbamate is a compound found in fermented beverages that
can cause cancer in various organisms. Its precursor is urea, an intermediate du....

XKCD's comic "f--- grapefruit", and rate operating systems instead. I'm running a poll
here, based on whether people think an operating system is better than Windows 2000 or not, which
I'm going to use as a benchmark (sea-level point) for rating systems. The rating system is on 3
axes, "usefulness", "reliability", and "security". Basically, for the poll, check which ones you
think are more useful than Windows 2000 on the first poll, which ones are more reliable ....

How To Improve Analytical Writing (aw) Skills In Gre?
Fluency, organization and technical English are three utmost important (3) After reading through the model essays on GRE official websites, I felt ever pressure. According to
the BARRON'S HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE GRE, fluency, organization and technical English are three
utmost important factors for GRE writing. However, for those Asian students like me, writing in
idiomatic and grammatically correct compositions is really challenging. For example, most of those
Japanese students study English word by word other than sentence by sentence, forming habitual
mistakes in word matching in a Japanese way, thus it is quite common that nobody else bu....

Call Of Duty 4
This is my info about Cod4 (8) My Cod4 Review I picked up COD4 kinda hoping for something not like COD and COD2. Both
previous encounters with the COD franchise were very enjoyable indeed, but the element of a cohesive
storyline was missing. You were bounced between Russian, English, and American campaigns trying to
follow each smaller storyline to the end. Boy was I pleasantly surprised with COD4. Blown away is
more like it. The plot of the game was very well done. The 2 story lines seemed to be going in 2
different directions at first, but later on you can see the 2 slowly merging in t....

Dell Tech Support
I just needed a small bit of info (22) Ok, so I got my aunt's old Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop. She also gave me a wireless card with it,

needed to open the BIOS Setup program to change the boot order of the DVD-ROM drive, but I just
couldn't figure out how (even hitting Fn+F1, where F1 is marked setup, didn't work, and I
tried about half a dozen other key combonations, which also failed to work). So this morning I

the friends on the contact list. Luckily i was quick enough to ask them not to click on it. And my
