This is semi-related, but my company seems to have been infected with a new virus that I haven't heard about. It spreads through port 445 to random IP addresses like Sasser, but when it's infected, it kills the task manager and the registry editor whenever they're started. It also has a random file name in c:\windows\system32 and removes all the default network shares (C$, D$, ADMIN$, etc). It seems to put keys all over the registry, I had to just search the registry for the filename and delete all keys it found. I copied the executables to a non-infected machine with the absolute latest Symantec virus definitions and it didn't detect anything, so I quarentened the file and sent it to Symantec.
Has anyone else seen this? I figured out how to remove it by killing the process, deleting all the registry keys with the filename and deleting the file. The Sasser and Korgo removal tools didn't detect anything so it doesn't seem to be one of those. I found some information on google about a similar virus, but it always used the filename msclock.exe and this one is a random filename.
Linux ports, Linux server done, client will be out when Duke Nukem Forever comes out.
I sure hope not. I wasn't planning on buying until the Linux version came out just on principle. I do have a windows machine that will play it, but I'm still waiting for the Linux port since Linux is my primary OS.
Have people considered where NASA is getting this money for Hubble when they had not planned on saving it? Something else must be cut since NASA is on a tight budget. And this something else is a lot of earth sciences. So while we are looking into space, we are not studying as many important topics on earth.
I believe there are already some possible Hubble replacements. The new telescope in Arizona is planned to produce visual images 10 times sharper than Hubble (according to cnn.com) . Also, many scientists studying deep space are using X-rays, which has the Chandra X-ray observatory
No, but the parent was expecting people to report bugs and I was just saying that probably wouldn't happen since if the user encountered the bug, they wouldn't report it anyways.
Not necessarily. The people using it will be 'average joes' and won't know to submit a bug report, they'll just see 'it doesn't work', 'it crashes more than ie', or something to that effect and not be proactive in helping the community fix bugs. This will of course lead to the impression that non-microsoft products really are inferior and they should just stick with microsoft. They should really be recommending something more stable like mozilla or netscape.
Nash said that Microsoft said that it would sell its anti-virus program as a separate product from Windows, rather than including it in Windows for now...
Problems with DWL-G650

Linux Unwired
·
· Score: 1
Does anyone else have problems under linux with a DWL-G650 (802.11g) card using the Linuxant drivers? I'm using the latest drivers from DLink, but for some reason randomly, the device just stops working, but looks like nothings wrong. The device is still 'up', the lights are blinking normally, the routing table is still okay, and no errors in the dmesg, syslog, messages, it just stops working, can't ping the ap or bring up websites. I have to do quite a bit to reinitialize it (so much that I created a script to do it for me). Does this happen to anyone else?
7 q-bit computers are incredibly difficult to make. The process used to make the 7-bit QC does not scale to larger numbers easily.
What about simulating these higher qbit computers? After all, these people can simulate 31 qbits, but there's no way we could build an actual quantum computer that big. Maybe we can build a simulator for 1024 or 2048 qbits and run Shors algorithm on that. However, if this is possible, then I'm sure the NSA has one and all your private keys are belong to them.
In that case it would be up to the network administrator to put secure software on the users machines. Why would they want to take such a risk by running Internet Explorer?
You could try getting one of the memory readers for your digital cameras' memory. They seem to be very well supported under linux, and could prevent some unnecessary reboots.
The articles seemed weak on details, does anyone know what sizes of memory these will be available in? Are we talking megs of memory (like current flash cards), gigs of memory (to replace hard drives), or teras of memory (for the future)?
If the light is on constantly, you can probably just take it to Autozone, they have a free check engine light service.
I had a check engine light on, that had been on for months, but never worried about it, but when it came time for emmissions check they refused to pass my car because of the check engine light. So, after calling around and the running rate was $100 or so, I took it to Autozone they jumppered a connection under my dash, turned the ignition and my panel flashed a diagnostic code, and they put it into their computer. The problem: bad O2 sensor, so I open the hood, and there is a cable hanging under the O2 sensor not connected to anything, so I plug it into the sensor, turn the car on, no check engine light and I pass emissions.
I also asked the guy at Autozone if I could keep the tool used to jumpper the connection and he said sure so now I check my own check engine light problems:).
I use about 800 gallons of gas a year, so according to their estimates of how much space it would require, would seem like I only need about 200m^2 (about 2000ft^2 for the metric-challenged) of space to produce my own biodiesel. So, could I just buy a 15mx15m biodiesel facility to put on my lot, and if it feeds on waste, we could pull that from the house, and we could buy in bulk the additional requirements (salt for the salt water and additional waste if our house doesn't produce enough). According to their cost estimates, the cost of a pond that size would be $1,200 with an annual maintance cost of $120/year, considering that I probably spend about $1,500 a year on gas, that would be quite a savings and it would be environmentally friendly.
What would the feasability of that be? Of course, while traveling I would have to buy someone elses biodiesel, but it would be nice to be able to save some money for people who have the 200m^2 to put a algae pond.

but if they're giving it away, that probably says something about it
Yeah, and that whole GNU/Linux thing that's free just says something about it too.

According to this forum message that was just a temporary problem while they were upgrading, and it should now work again with YahooPOPs.
Wow, you hacked weather.com, impressive. Unfortunately, all the people from Seattle will now be getting the wrong weather.

Then you've never found timeanddate.com
SCO has sued some of its customers, and that is what's scaring people off
That doesn't seem to be stopping the RIAA customers that are being sued.
By slowing down the process, Open Source competition can grow, and allow for software "alternatives" to arrive on the market first
Until you infringe on one of their patents...
In that case it would be up to the network administrator to put secure software on the users machines. Why would they want to take such a risk by running Internet Explorer?
You can download a fix for this here.
Will they overhead and melt down like the Celeron processors? Without this feature I doubt they will be able to effectively compete with the Celeron.
Unfortunately, it's not a port, it's windows only using the Win32 API. I can see someone didn't RTFA.

You must have missed it then, it was renamed to Where in the USA is Carmen Sandiego for marketing reasons.
Do you realize that Maryland is one of the smaller states we have, and that out west in the desert, 10000 square miles isn't hard to come by?
