So, then, you are admitting the hosts file is not effective at blocking botnet c&c channels. Take that out of your list of extravagant claims of the benefits of hosts files.

How many times is a dumbshit like YOU going to *try* pull that on me, menial? Are there hostnames here that are still online?? Yes, ZEUS botnet (as a SINGLE example) https://zeustracker.abuse.ch/m...

If your approach only blocks 5-10% of domain names, then it is NOT effective for security. This might fly in your shareware consumer world, but that is not enterprise-grade.

Any OTHER kind, such as the edge case RARE types you noted (out of 'desperation') MY SECURITY GUIDE catches via Layered Security/Defense in Depth practices -> http://forums.pcpitstop.com/in...

You DO NOT HAVE A SECURITY GUIDE. I actually looked for it, and the closest I could find was where you posted it, but everybody thought you were an idiot and banned you. Not what I would call "success."

"Sounds like you've washed out of every job you've had."

Wouldn't matter, since if YOU are 'state of the art' in "security engineers" (allegedly)? You suck...

Yeah, you have totally washed out of every job you had, and now you've been an author of (shitty) shareware. Found this gem:

IpTables, iirc, = the LINUX modern evolution of the older IPChains system, right?? I am more of a Win32 guy the past few years though, so I must ask.

So you don't even understand UNIX. You are quite the security professional.

When I FRY weasels like YOU on a forums as I have here? Sure, they get pissed & have to 'kick me'...

You have been banned from almost every forum you've ever joined. Like when you were banned in 2000 from arstechnica, and rejoined as a different name to defend yourself. Or when you were banned after trying to spam your shitty security guide in 2007.

The best thing I could find anyone say about you, from a friend, was:

For my Hosts Engine, I chose Object Pascal since it's beaten even MSVC++ in strings work which my app does HEAVILY - dumb thing for you to say:

Funny, because you got called out for very poorly performing code (that just sorted some strings and took 11 minutes) here. And here are the kinds of things people said about your code a few years ago:

Of course spamming forums with publicity ads is kind of lame; don't take it personally, but you brought it upon yourself.

Now as regarding the actual package, I find the UI kind of weird and you don't seem to be following Windows UI guidelines (That's a no-no in Tog speak).

The feature set is kind of questionable; I fail to see the real value of your product really.

And to finish my rant, I got these errors on startup on my Win2k SRV SP1 system.

"Firefox does support multithreading, what it doesn't support is multiprocessing" - by A12m0v (1315511) on Tuesday January 05, @12:05AM (#30651402)

Does it doesn't HAVE to support "explicit multithreading" (specifically targetting a thread of execution towards a particular processor, via API calls such as SetThreadAffinity) though?

See, the way I have always understood it, is this: First of all, there are diff. kinds of "multithreading".

The first being "coarse" (where threads work on diff. datasets, NOT the same one (more difficult to do is the latter, w/out "race conditions")). An example here might be say, using Excel to calculate some cells in 1 thread, while printing or reformatting other cells in a worksheet on another thread.

The second being "fine-grained multithreading" (where multiple threads process the same dataset as other threads present).

Now, in EITHER CASE?

The Operating System memory and process mgt. subsystems will send a thread to whatever the least saturated CPU core present & especially when CPU 0 is 100% cycle saturated (and CPU 1-N present, are not) in EITHER case above...

Thus - the kernel mode subsystems I noted will take care of it FOR the PID in question, for the multithreaded process.

Those kernel mode process mgt. subsystem can send a thread of execution beyond the parent core process off to any CPUs (as in SMP) or, to any cores (as in multicore CPUs of today) present that are NOT 100% saturated by other running processes OR threads, but, ONLY IF the first CPU where the parent thread of the PARENT PROCESS is completely 100% cpu cycle saturated (meaning NO FREE CYCLES ARE AVAILABLE ON IT).

AND?

IF the FF team has to go SEPARATE PROCESSES?

There are API calls for that, on Win32 @ least, such as SetProcessAffinity on Win32 (which can direct ENTIRE PROCESSES to diff. CPU cores)!

However, since FF is multiplatform?

I am not 110% absolutely certain that other OS platforms have API calls &/or kernels ready for this!

(Yes, by today/nowadays though? I'd have to say MOST if not ALL, do!)

See, I state that, because I know Linux had to gain abilities like this in order to be classified as an 'enterprise ready platform' to do concurrent kernel mode threading, whereas it only had "round-robin usermode threads" which are sometimes called "cooperatively scheduled threads" by the by (driven by a single kernel mode thread though) before a certain kernel build (not sure of how early that was though).

I had a fairly large discussion w/ some folks a few years back on this, here -> http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/42110/ &, it's part of the "why" of why I noted all this "madness-N-lunacy"... but, I didn't get as "in-depth" there as I did here (but I did put up some good examples of where & why threads can be useless too, with an easy to understand MATH example as to why as well) & especially on what went on in Linux early on.

APK

P.S.=> We're probably on the "same wavelength" here, but these discussions, without being TOTALLY SPECIFIC? It can be 'confusing' as to what is meant...

E.G.-> As in the diff.'s between "coarse multithreading"- where you have threads working on DIFFERENT TASKS, instead of the same one & same dataset being worked on vs. "fine-grained multithreading" - where 2-N threads work on the SAME dataset @ the same time/concurrently.

It can be confusing, especially w/out noting specifics & circumstances, such as the type of multithreaded design involved (coarse vs. fine-grained etc. et al) AND, if the program is trying to send off specific threads of execution to SPECIFIC CPU's (SMP) or CPU cores (cpus that folks have today with multiple cores on them) itself (explicit multithreading by the app itself & with the app directing what CPU the thread runs on)... apk

It's also quite common to require a password for BIOS-changes - not sure whether that protects the Flash as well or just the BIOS settings.

That's because you joined it too late. According to a microsoft email posted on this site they "ran out" of free gifts -ie they are no longer offering any downloads.

Free smileys? Enjoy your AIDS^H^H^H^H trojans.

And how, exactly, is this different from the situation in the PC world?

"Many ill-fated customers who upgraded have yet to get their PCs back to perfect working order" it says here and in many other places. Vista broke quite a few hardware drivers. And if your device is more than a few years old, the MBAs who decide these things are likely to decide against spending development money just to please loyal customers, so in most cases the simplest option is... to buy your way out of it.

Conversely, there are many things Mac OS X can do that Windows can't do unless you locate commercial products or shareware. I just found out yesterday, for example, that, unlike Mac OS X, Windows XP has no built-in way to check the S.M.A.R.T. status of a hard drive. And, of course, as far as I know there's no way to create a PDF file on a Windows machine without installing extra software.

If you reply that EMT64 will still run 64-bit software, I'm going to scream.

Not the first time. I was hit with this problem:

http://news.com.com/Dell+hit+with+class+action+sui t+over+Inspiron/2100-1005_3-6150328.html

Ended up getting the credit card company to cover the bill as they doubled the warranty. To do this I had to spend many hours on the phone and a long time writing back and forth to the issuing bank, the wrong insurer the bank referred me to, the correct insurer and Dell (who I had to get to admit in writing that they'd have covered the problem if it had happened under warranty). I had the thing fixed. Took 5 months. I bought another laptop (sadly another Dell because $1000 price difference with the nearest competition including 2 extra years of warranty and the right set of features was hard to ignore) in the meantime.

No, you have no idea what TurboCache means, and just because you may have read something about it on a site doesn't mean you're an expert on it.
Example. It has 512MB TurboCache. Yeah, it doesn't have 512MB of dedicated memory. But it does have 256MB. It lets you expand that 256MB it has into 512MB by using system memory.
From Wikipedia: "NVIDIA's TurboCache technology is a method of allowing more framebuffer memory on select graphics cards by using both video memory and system memory by taking advantage of the high bandwidth provided by the PCI-Express bus."

Even the site you linked to explaining TurboCache proves you didn't even read it. If you had read it, you would have noticed this little bit: "There will be two entry level graphic cards, called the GeForce 6200 TC, based on TurboCache that'll be available soon; one is equipped with 16MB of local memory, the other with 32MB. Both will use up to 128MB of main memory, a forthcoming 64MB version will support up to 256MB though, which means that the GeForce 6200 series will be available as effectively 128 and 256MB graphic cards."
That was just on page one of three.

So, in other words, shut up.

First of all, you have no idea what "TurboCache" means, do you? Let me enlighten you -- it's Nvidia marketing-speak for "fake memory." The "256MB Quadro NVS TurboCache" doesn't have 256MB of memory; it's named that because it can use up to 256MB of system memory. It's not actually much better (if at all) than Intel's integrated video. And it certainly isn't comparable to the MacBook Pro, "with up to 256MB of dedicated graphics memory!"

Second, the MacBook Pro is also most likely better in several other ways, so you'd have to upgrade all those other things on the Dell to make it comparable. You can't go around saying "Macs are more expensive" when you're cherry-picking particular aspects of the machine -- they have to be comparable in every aspect, not just (for example) graphics.

So, in other words, your argument is both wrong and stupid. Have a nice day.

Iwills Zmaxdp Small Form Factor SMB servers would probably suit you if you require mobility plus a lot of grunt

MMX was an actual hardware improvement that did make media "go faster". It has been used and improved by Intel and AMD. Support for the features is built into the GNU compilers and processor specific Linux kernels, which most distributions have as precompiled binaries.

ViiV's main feature seems to be hardware based DRM.

it mostly talked about the new remote and how cool a 6 button remote is.

Kind of neat, but what about channels with 7 8 9 and 0?

TFA misses TF point when he lavishly praises Apple's 6-button remote over Windows Media Center remotes. Try controlling Front Row's television/DVR functions with that 6-button remote. Of course, FR doesn't controll TV/DVR.

I suspect he hasn't tried a Windows MCE remote, hasn't tried Tivo, or is a complete moron if he thinks they're complicated. Most non-TV/PVR related functions can be controlled using just six buttons: "Green Button," "OK," up, down, left, and right. Every Windows MCE review I've read actually praises the remote and interface, especially compared to other PC PVR solutions (like ATI).

Here's a photo of a Windows MCE remote with visible buttons:

Microsoft IR remote

My experience is not quite so extensive:
http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/1384 1/?o=120
but I've now done this twice with no issues and it's rather easy to find backlights. I use http://www.moniserv.com./ The service is excellent. I ordered the wrong backlight by accident, and they took it back and sent me a new one.

...resort to desparate and morally reprehensible measures to slow their decline, be they the MPAA or the RIAA. They're behaving like frightened, cornered animals. I'd expect both of these industry cartels to resort to some really scary shit in the next decade or so to try to cut their losses (like the east fork stuff, http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/article/18 11/), but they don't understand the difference between gliding along in a paracheut and flying. Ultimately, the industry megacorporations will tank (well, the music industry will, but movies are much harder to make than music), and our freedoms will be the real casualty.

Whats a pity is that ATI again lagging behind on the performance part in the OpenGL based games/applications. You would think they learned their lesson with the Radeon 9x00 series and the X[3/6/7/8]00 series. How poorly those products perform with 'the next-gen' OpenGL based games, ID's Doom3 engine, and current line of OpenGL games. You would think ATI's Next-gen product would be doing alot better than their previous product line or atleast to be competitive with NV's 'next-gen' harware (i start to hate the word "next-gen", it's marketing lube than actually something meaningfull).
That ATI hardware perform well on DX9 based games is really nice (one of the reason i got myself a Radeon card 2 years ago, when NV's FX serie was just horror on DX9). But fortunately the gaming market doesn't only consist out of DX-based games.

From what i gathered on various resources (http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/article/1 818/ and http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2552 ) on benchmarking the X1000 series. They are still performing inadequately compared to ATI's current line of products and that of Nvidia's 6x00 serie.

The only thing that can save ATI now is offering very competitive pricing for their new product line at the expense of current product line, which is unlikely looking at their recommended pricing.

I'm a gamer myself. What most gamers wants is not the bleeding edge hardware (well they like to day dream having it, but thats something else than what their wallet allows them to have). But good performance with good image quality at a good price in any range; either entry level or midrange or high-end.
Talking about high-end. It's also a pity that the new X1000 serie seem to less efficient running at high level of FSAA and Anisotropic filters. Those techniques can makes a game, tho how bored the gameplay may be, even interresting (such as Doom3 and other arcade type run and shooter games).

For now, i'm happy to stick to my cheap-ass 120 euro 6800LE card for atleast 2 years to come. Which easily can beat ATI's new midrange product, the X1600XT, with ease and it cost me way less.

Amen to that MR Willeh.

I put a lot of value on design for the gadgets that I consume, hence I am a mac geek. However, a time came when I needed to run a Windows App and had to choose a laptop from the Wintel world.

From all the available options, the VAIOs were by far the most appealing ones, so I bought a GRX. The only problem? How awfully they are manufactured and supported, as I later unfortunately found out.

One day the thing just wouldn't recognize half of the RAM installed and sometimes it would freeze without any warning sign of any kind. When trying to find out what was wrong with it, I contacted SONY, and it showed me the finger. The official support site didn't mention anything and the help line guys told me that I needed to send in the laptop and pay a service fee at my expense just to see what was going on.

I later found out in here that the problem was indeed common (pins one to ten in the first memory socket were not soldered properly), that SONY knew about it for a long time, and still didn't EVEN put it in a website as a potential problem that could arise in a VAIO.

To this day (three and a half years after its release) SONY still hasn't aknowledged the faulty motherboard problem. Now, I really am not that picky as not to buy a product from a company that has had this kind of problem, because in the end, every company has had their fair share. But SONY has this strange corporate attitude.

Nice ideas, but... beats me. No wonder their shares have been tanking. I can tell you I will NOT buy a VAIO again and I wished there were some sort of AMAZON store for laptops with a similar "rating and comments" system where I could put this experience up.

If you are thinking of buying a VAIO... DON'T.

There is no way to have multiple AGP slots, but there are indeed boards with two PCI Express slots - for example, the infamous Asus A8N-SLI.

Is it just a techinical issue that it is easer to add a unique ID to each disk by gluing on an RFID than to write it to the disk?

That, and it's harder for Joe Schmoe to create an RFID-equipped disk in his laptop. But the real protection is having the disk "phone home". And they've already started doing that.

I'd bet it's more likely Intel's new BTX Form Factor
Good for both sides-- Intel gets a bunch of sales for special BTX motherboards, Microsoft gets tiny Thermally-OMG-Advantaged systems.

But if you're naive about the net and you go online maybe once a month...then you're a raw piece of meat in a pool full of sharks.

I am one of those naive that really don't have a clue what hardware review sites to trust. My comfort is that I am probably far from alone, in this matter.

To assist me and other naives(sp?), please join this silly poll and review the following sites (regarding credibility) with a scale ranging from 1 to 10, where 1 is "No credibility at all" and 10 is "Perfect credibility, these guys wouldn't post a biased review for world domination":

Apple's Mac mini, product of marketing genius?

Just recently Apple launched the Mac mini, an iPod on steroids to some, a feature rich yet compact Mac to others. But is it? Read on to find out why it is much, much more than that.

http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/article/17 76/

I wonder if you know that MHz means jack shit, especially when comparing across architectures as different as x86 and PowerPC. How can you hang out around Slashdot and not know about the megahertz myth? It's practically gospel. It also happens to be true.

However, I agree that the Mac mini would find it difficult to encode HD video in anything approaching realtime, not least because of its 4200 RPM laptop hard drive.

I've seen the video. But I'm still a die hard AMD fan and have never seen an Athlon overheat with a heatsink on, and as long as it doesn't cost anymore to cool an Athlon than it does a P4 then I see this as a non issue. A good rule of thumb for any processor simply is don't run it without proper cooling. BTW last I checked, the Athlon XP puts out about 70 Watts of heat vs. the, latest at the time, P4 which was about 60 Watts of heat. That basically makes them both good space heaters ;) . Here is an interesting review I just found. http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/popular_ar ticles/article/1758/

Plenty of time to make a "fair use" DivX copy.

Not according to one of the comments attached to the article. According to the linked post, this DVD requires you to install software that prevents *any* other DVD copying, even by other methods.

Can anybody vouch for this? To me this was the worst part of the whole thing. Not only does this DVD force you to install software to view it, that installed software then breaks other software on your computer. Very bad stuff, if true.

There is another geforce 6200 review that is shorter and to the point and explains where this card is targetted.

Here's another GeForce 6600GT Review from Hardware Analysis.

PocketMusic (audio player) and iGuidance (GPS Navigation).

Get a PocketPC, GPS Sensor and GPS Software. Your total cost will hardly be more than $250-300 if you catch a good deal on a PocketPC on eBay. This software is far more superior that the crap the put in factory-installed dashboard systems and it'll be removable so you can take it on vacations or road trips.

This was actually released yesterday, but there is another nForce4 Review at Hardware Analysis.

Another nForce 4 Review on Hardware Analysis.

The 3.6 gig prescott puts out 115 watts

This article puts the 3.2 and 3.4's at about 103 watts.

This article pegs the Athlon 64 at 116 watts.

Yeah, you are engaged in CPU tribalism/fanboyism, whether you realize it or not. Both chips are pretty much equally "hot". One should use a different yardstick to compare the two.

BTW, this article has the Itanium sucking 130 watts, which is probably where the misinformation came from.

They _DID_ come up with a new expansion.
Doesn't anyone read _anything_ before they just start talking these days?

Scalable Link Interface
Read about it Here

Being designed for laptops, arent Pentium M chips much more expensive than P4s?

Also, can you get ATX mobos for them?

Alienware took a very different tack with their solution because it requires a 3rd PCI slot AND it's analog (3rd & 4th pics). I guess its a series of tradeoffs: Space vs flexibility, with Nvidia winning the battle for space but losing on flexibility.

That aside, its rediculous that nvidia is expecting their OEM cooling solutions to do any kind of justice to the heat from those cards. Alienware already expects water cooling to be part of the solution and has cases designed accordingly... couldn't NVIDIA have done it any other way? Do they absolutely have to have a hardware link between their cards?

"A power draw of 250 Watts for the 6800 Ultra SLI solution is very realistic."
Then explain how this will work.

When a single 6800 card requires a 480watt power supply and two dedicated power lines, what would the power requirements be for two of these cards in the same computer system?

This. It's all digital now.

Tell me about it. From october till february my 9600 Pro was useless for many games. There is no use in having top hardware if the drivers are no good. See this 83-page(!) thread with other people who were having problems.

GeForce 6800 Ultra Review

GeForce 6800 Ultra is the new king of the hill, beating ATI's fastest by over 100% in almost every benchmark.

That would mean the 6800 doubled the 9800's performance in each benchmark... Not true...

For UT2004, it only beat it by 20fps on average. And that's still in the 80+fps range.

Sure it doubled some benchmark ratings here and there, but that's not nearly "almost every benchmark." Doesn't anyone moderate how people post the story?

Well, if you would actually read the entire article, you'd see the following paragraph:

Both Halo and Far Cry show that Nvidia means business with the NV4x architecture, here we again see the GeForce 6800 Ultra consistently outperforming the Radeon 9800 XT and not by a just a small margin. At a 1024x768 resolution the GeForce 6800 Ultra leads in Halo by 81%, this lead increases to over 100% as the resolution is bumped up to 1280x1024 and 1600x1200. Far Cry starts off with the GeForce 6800 Ultra having a performance advantage of just 29%, but increasing that performance lead to 60% at a 1600x1200 resolution. That's actually amazing, especially if you consider the performance penalty the Radeon 9800 XT takes going from 1024x768 to 1600x1200, performance drops by as much as 85%. The GeForce 6800 Ultra however takes a performance penalty of 48%, the penalty the Radeon 9800 XT takes is about twice as large, which is significant.

. . .which refers to this, this, and (nearly) this.

Yeah, that Prescott is a cool running chip.

From personal experience, most Sony products (including a laptop) have had quality problems:
My Sony stereo's CD player no longer works (skips)
My Sony Discman's volume control seems to be set on Random and the secret "constant noise" feature is permanently engaged
My Sony television blacks out when trying to play DVDs through my Sony PS2 using S-Video hookups (though Xbox/normal DVD player work fine through the same TV)
My PS2 stopped reading discs 3 months after I got it. I exchanged it, but now that's acting up.
My original Sony Playstation had to be replaced twice due to discs skipping and not reading.
And now, my very expensive Sony laptop is indecisive over how much RAM it has. After some googling, this appears to be the beginning of the end of my laptop.

I found this while researching problems with the laptop.

Google is your friend. ASUS has plans to release a video card based on the R360, the chip used on the Radeon 9800XT. Link.

You can also get a product listing straight from ASUS, here. This page lists Dual DVI as an option for the R360-based card, but if you look around you should be able to find info for other cards.

It looks like OEMS will be rolling out notebooks with the new CPU right off:

Photo of Athlon 64 notebooks

Note also that the leftmost laptop appears to be made by Arima Computer Corporation, whose current production model is better known as the eMachines m5310. eMachines has made a very strong entry into the notebook market with that first model, and it appears they are trying to keep to the forefront by supporting the cutting-edge CPU.
