Topic: Workaround


  
  Workaround - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A workaround is typically a temporary fix that implies that a genuine solution to the problem is needed.
Frequently workarounds are as creative as true solutions, involving out-of-the-box thinking in their creation.
For example, in computer programming workarounds are often used to address a problem in a library, such as an incorrect return value.

 Workarounds
WORKAROUND: None, but it seems to be a minor aesthetic glitch that doesn't spill into other setting considerations, and with narrow borders isn't even noticeable.
WORKAROUND: body>#middle { float: left; } This must be a css2 declaration because ie5win and ie5.5win choke on it.
I had an elaborate workaround for dealing with ie5win when it really mattered that all three line up, but that's out the door now.

 workaround - a Whatis.com definition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
A workaround is a method, sometimes used temporarily, for achieving a task or goal when the usual or planned method isn't working.
A workaround to that problem might be to simply use a different e-mail program to send the note.
Another common workaround is, when codes or tags are stripped from an HTML file that is sent as an attachment, to copy and paste the content of the file directly into the e-mail note rather than sending it as an attachment.

 BluejProblems - BlueJ Wiki   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The workaround enables opening projects from a network (UNC) path but BlueJ must still be run from a non-UNC path (which in many cases is easily accomplised by installing bluej in a location which is mapped to a drive letter).
One workaround is to copy the project to a local drive before opening it, and copying it back when you are done.
Another workaround is to map the network location to a drive letter and open the project from that drive.

 Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) Cross-Platform Issues
The workaround that we use is to run the Classic Chooser, which allows you to mount the password-protected volumes, and they show up immediately on the Jaguar desktop, just as if you mounted them from the Mac OS X side.
A simple workaround that I have found, other than using the cp (copy) command from the Terminal application, is simply to enclose the file to be copied in a folder, and drag the folder to the server.
My workaround is to just not use "view by icon" on SMB directories or to use AFP (but that opens up another can of works because the Netatalk implementation that I'm using on FreeBSD has its problems too).

 MachTen: XCode dependencies workaround
There is also the problem that you don't get a good user feedback of what's going on during the depes build (it just shows "building" in the status line), unless you open the detailled build view...
In fact the only problem I have with this solution is that it's a workaround a broken xcode feature: deps management are one of the main reasons we use build systems and IDE.
A correct external project dependency system is NOT optionnal in a so called professional IDE and I still consider xcode broken in that regard as the workaround is much more painful to get working than it should be.

 Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco IOS Interface Blocked by IPv4 Packets
A workaround is available, and is documented in the Workarounds section.
This vulnerability may be exercised repeatedly resulting in loss of availability until a workaround has been applied or the device has been upgraded to a fixed version of code.
Although a device with PIM enabled is not vulnerable to attacks with protocol 103 packets, enabling PIM is not recommended as a workaround to this vulnerability, as it does not block protocols 53, 55, or 77, and may have performance implications.

 CERT Advisory CA-2002-18 OpenSSH Vulnerabilities in Challenge Response Handling
This workaround does not prevent these vulnerabilities from being exploited, however due to the privilege separation mechanism, the intruder may be limited to a constrained chroot environment with restricted privileges.
System administrators are encouraged to carefully review the implications of using the workaround in their environment, and use a more comprehensive solution if one is available.
We have quickly published update packages with the workaround as described in your announcement, but due to incompatibilities and errors in the newer package, we think about downgrading back to our 2.9.9p2 version packages as well as one newer version on one of our newer products.

Licenses which allow the use of other copyleft licenses seem likely to evolve to overcome the fragmentation of the copyleft world.
Today, multiple licensing (licensing under all desired copyleft licenses) is the best workaround available.
Sometimes people don't want to solve this problem: they may believe that the Free Software Foundation or Creative Commons is best and may want to hurt the one they dislike or promote only the one they like.

 Microsoft offers IE flaw workaround - vnunet.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Microsoft has released a workaround to a serious flaw in its Internet Explorer browser, but has not said when it will fully solve the problem.
The workaround, issued on Friday evening, does not patch the flaw but "improves system resiliency to protect against the Download.Ject attack", according to Microsoft.
But the workaround does not apply to older operating systems, and users have not yet been given a date for an alternative.

 RIM co-CEO says NTP 'workaround' details out soon | CNET News.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
BlackBerry maker Research In Motion will soon be able to disclose details of a software "workaround" it believes will prevent a shutdown of its U.S. service resulting from its patent fight with NTP, RIM's co-chief executive said on Monday.
RIM's Jim Balsillie also said he believes the Canadian technology firm was vindicated by "non-final" U.S. patent office rulings last week that struck down two NTP patents.
If they don't, we do a software workaround and we keep our business going as we always have, as we always will," he told Reuters in an interview.

 Jeffrey Zeldman Presents: The Daily Report
One little-discussed advantage of using bitmap fonts is that, because they don’t antialias, you won’t run into edge pixel problems when using them on a site that allows visitors to change the background color (like this site, for instance).
On Monday, we shared Jacques Distler’s XHTML 1.1 plus Target 1.0 DOCTYPE workaround for the ban in XHTML 1.0 Strict and XHTML 1.1 on the target attribute to the anchor element.
Over the weekend we mentioned SitePoint’s workaround for the ban on target attributes in XHTML Strict and reminded readers who want to open new windows that the simplest way to do so while following W3C guidelines is to use XHTML Transitional.

 IE workaround a non-starter
Doubts have been raised about the effectiveness of a workaround issued by Microsoft to guard against a potentially devastating vulnerability in IE.
This website was quickly shut down, but the incident illustrated serious security shortcomings with IE and prompted security clearing house US-CERT to advise users to ditch IE in favour of alternative browsers.
But postings to the insecure.org full disclosure mailing list over the weekend provide evidence that a slightly modified exploit can still yield full system compromise even on systems that have applied the workaround.

Problem: CSS is cool, but if you take full advantage of it, it blows up in IE3 and NS4, with some major glitches even in IE4.
One way is to write separate stylesheets for each implementation, and serve each with a script.
This leaves SSI as the only reliable way to withhold CSS from substandard implementations, which, in, turn, means that Web authors who don't have access to their server configuration are up a creek.

As the fix for this vulnerability is a default configuration change, and a workaround is available, a software upgrade is not required to address this vulnerability.
However, if you have a service contract, and wish to upgrade to unaffected code, you may obtain upgraded software through your regular update channels once that software is available.
If you need assistance with the implementation of the workarounds, or have questions on the workarounds, please contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC).

 Mozilla offers workaround for Firefox flaw | InfoWorld | News | 2005-09-09 | By   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The Mozilla Foundation (Profile, Products, Articles) has released a workaround for a critical buffer overflow vulnerability in the Firefox browser that was first made public early Friday.
The vulnerability, which was reported to the Mozilla team earlier this week, concerns the International Domain Name (IDN) feature that Mozilla products use to process Web pages that do not use Latin Alphabet characters in their names.
Because both the patch and the workaround simply disable IDN, users who require the feature to visit international Web sites should stick to visiting Web sites they know and trust until the problem is actually repaired in the browser, Schroepfer said.
