Yet another Microsoft Security Hole

Via LGF, yet another Windows buffer overrun hole that appears pretty severe, and here's the patch for the newest version of DirectX.

Confusingly, here's another patch, and I think this is actually the more important one, even though both are "critical". Like Charles, says, there are so many patches for holes in Windows it's hard to keep track.

Naked Objects

Via Leslie, A brief introduction to Naked Objects

Naked Objects is an open source Java-based framework.... As you can see, the core business objects (such as Employee, Project and Claim) are exposed directly to the user in the form of icons. There are no main menus, dialog boxes, or scripted procedures that sit in between the user and the underlying business objects.

The user interface shown above is 100% auto-generated by the Naked Objects framework. The developer writing this application did not write a single line of code to do with the user interface. All he wrote were the definitions of the business object classes, in Java, plus the various business methods. Each business class was defined as inheriting from the NakedObject class provided by the framework.

There's also a book.

Interesting concept, to say the least. I only need an application to try this out with...

Threading in PHP

So is it actually possible to do threading in PHP using non-blocking sockets? I don't know, but I'd like to see that article in PHP Magazine John refers to.
