Unpatched flaw leading to new Word attack

Microsoft on Friday warned that cyber criminals may be taking advantage of an unpatched flaw in the Windows operating system to install malicious software on a victim’s PC.
The reported attack, now under investigation by Microsoft, involves a malicious Word document, but there may be other ways of exploiting the flaw, Microsoft said.
“Do not open or save Word files that you receive from untrusted sources or that you receive unexpectedly from trusted sources,” Microsoft said in a security advisory posted to its Web site late in the day.
The flaw lies in the Jet Database Engine that is used by a number of products including Microsoft Access. Microsoft is investigating whether other programs may also be exploited in this type of attack.

Best Memory Settings for Eclipse

Best Memory Settings for Eclipse:
Whether Eclipse has become homeground for you & it’s speed is frustating you? I will describe couple of settings which might be helpful in running multiple projects without a memory issue.
Default Eclipse settings are defined in eclipse.ini. My .ini file on Fedora Core 6 — Eclipse 3.3 Europa:

-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
–launcher.XXMaxPermSize
128M
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m
-Dosgi.bundlefile.limit=100

where
-Xms <size> set initial Java heap size
-Xmx<size> set maximum Java heap size
Considering that you have enough memory on machine, change default values in eclipse.ini to:

-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
–launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
-vm
[PATH_ON_YOUR_MACHINE]javaw.exe
-vmargs
-Xms256m
-Xmx512m

Note: “-vm” is optional; otherwise Eclipse will use the first Java VM found on the O/S path
This will definitely boost up your eclipse performance.
