I wrote this a few days ago and didn't get a chance to finish the post or publish it: Wow... Not in my wildest dreams did I ever think this would happen. I started out on a no name site ghost writing articles for pennies. Now, ever since registering at Odesk things are really taking off for me. I think I will finish what I was trying to say, as the news just keeps getting better and better.

An Exploit Code Has Been Released To The Public! And Microsoft Has Yet To Respond! What Is The Problem? An SMBv2 vulnerability, which has just been made public yesterday, was kept private until now. And apparently for good reason. This "new" exploit is not new at all. Microsoft has known about it for over a week and have done nothing to fix the problem. What is SMBv2? SMBv2 was created

Local Shared Objects or Flash Cookies, as they are becoming lovingly known, are becoming more and more of a

COOKIES…Everyone knows about them. Everyone knows what cookies are, right? And you thought you deleted all of your cookies, right? You thought that going in and manually deleting them would do the trick. And for all of you Firefox users, there is even an extension that allows you to close the current page and delete cookies on a simple right click, right? Wrong. WHAT DO YOU MEAN WRONG?

I am happy to report that my second term at Kaplan University has (finally) begun this past Wednesday the 26th. The last day of my first term was on August 9th. And let me tell you something. I never in this world ever thought that I would actually be happy, no make that ECSTATIC, to be back in school.
