You've got two programs running:
PerfectlyLegitKittens.exe
VileZombieKittenbotnet.exe
The user is running both programs. Both startup with the system. Or both are manually started by the user every 3 hours because it has kittens in the name, whatever. Both yield to being swapped out. Both are swapped back in.
How is this guaranteed to detect the malware? If you swap it out, yeah, you recognize it as a program with a memory footprint. But not as malware.
It's another tool for detecting types of malware that would otherwise be hidden, but "guaranteed"? Naw dude. It's yet another incremental step in the security theater.
Well, let's do some real rough math. It's like $0.14 a kW/hr and the Chevy volt, just as an example, has a 16kWh battery. So presuming I run it dry just getting to work, that would be $2.24 to get it fully charged for when I leave.
So that would be 3 coins, and I donate a penny.
Were you aware that today's modern cars have a contraption that scientists like to call a "change dispenser".
The range for induction charging is in the centimeters or millimeter range and will not be used to power your car on the highway. It would be lovely, but it won't work. For variations of your idea, please refer to wikipedia or fashion something like a rail car.
Well it'd be expensive, so there would only be one lane.
And we wouldn't want anyone damaging that lane, so instead of a road, we'd put down two steel rails.
And not to interfere with the older infrastructure, we'll set it off to the side
We'll build large centralized "stations" that people that use to get onto of off of our exclusive "powermat" road.
Yessir, you and we are going to be the tycoons of the future.
While we're at it we'll build planes entirely out of black boxes!
Well I dunno what it's like on the coast, but it's really tempting to move to Chicago (or the suburbs thereof) because that's where all the jobs are. I imagine that all the jobs are there because a lot of programmers live around Chicago, for some inexplicable reason...
Wouldn't it be nice if they would toot their horn about all the really important secrets they held back in the 50's and 60's. Stuff that's so old, everyone who would be compromised is dead or old enough not to give a fuck.
That way we would have some sense of how badly the "national secrecy" is being abused. Because right now we have no idea how many secrets are bosses with blow and hookers and how many are keeping militants at bay.
Yeah, not holding secrets that employees have ethical obligations to report would be a pretty good method for that.
And finding those moles, of course.
You're penny-pinching-patriotism is being abused.
Assume now that we have a detection algorithm that runs in kernel mode, and that swaps out everything in RAM. Everything except itself. Well, malware may interfere, of course, as it often does, and remain in RAM.
But malware doesn't have to interfere. This method only detects certain kinds of malware that attempts to thwart other programs affecting it's memory. For malware that swaps like any other program, this detects nothing. The author even thinks of a way that malware would thwart his method, but quickly figures out a way to detect that as well. But hey, for that moment that everything is swapped out, you're pretty sure that there isn't any malware running. That moment goes away when you swap it back in, however.
This is not guaranteed to detect malware. It is a method to detect programs that resist being swapped, that's guaranteed for nuthin.
And it requires ALL MY RAM to be swapped, overwritten, and then hashed? That's not a real-time solution. At best that's a button that a sysadmin hits once a week.
Finally, let's pick nits!
But if we know how big RAM is
Shouldn't it be "our RAM" or "the RAM", or something like "the size of the RAM installed" ?
You're specifically ignoring the death of a child and are refusing to comment on it and how it should have been avoided.
You are making rather insightful comments from a gun lover who is knowledgeable about about the current state of affairs in gun manufacturing, safety practices, and general gun knowledge. I don't think the world has to fear about your weapons going unsupervised.
Unfortunately though, it appears that you're so pro-gun that you're unwilling to acknowledge any negative aspects of a gun. You appear as a true-believer, a guns-can-do-no-wrong, wing-nut that cannot be reasoned with.
Now, come on, admit that being out of control with a firearm is a bad thing. Doing it won't repeal the 2nd amendment.
I believe in the right to bear arms, but there has to be some sort of regulation. No permits for crazies or kids.
All games have a learning curve. Some start out with a nice slopping area like a bunny hill with tutorials and introductions. Some games have a higher plateau then others.
Dwarf Fortress throws you against a gargantuan sheer cliff face made of sharp jagged glass covered with thistles all the while a melancholy tune plays to your doom and the ghosts of your 7 dwarves haunt your memories eternally.
But yeah, it's kind of like nethack. I highly suggest it.
What? Didn't you know that China ties their currency to the US$ specifically to keep their currency low so they're competitive to our markets. China could be rich and afford to import goods and become a 1st world proper if they released their currency. Of course, then China wouldn't be the manufacturing dominator of the world...
This gets modded +5 insightful?
Perhaps I'm just too jaded to the red scare. I thought the whole capitalist vs. communist clusterfuck was over and done with. Not that Stalin's government (and China's red revolution) was communism by any stretch. But capitalism won. Soviet Russia is no more. Closed Communist Chinese People are no more. They opened up, embraced capitalism, the free market, and corporate greed. There's still the communist party exerting control, but hey, didn't the US Govt help Google via the NSA? Don't we make trade agreements under the cover of darkness to help out our own people in Hollywood?
Democracy is a pretty hip idea. I'm tempted to say that our own system is democratic, but I'm not so sure anymore. But I don't think China's system is fundamentally all that different then our own anymore, it's their culture.
Try adding something meaningful to the conversation.
You need to agree that leaving weapons out of your control in the presence of young children is a "very bad thing". If you ignore that portion, or full-out denounce it, then you're a "very bad person".
If you want, you can point out that having a weapon isn't itself a bad thing, only that having one out of control is bad. And that's what lead to this scenario here.
And one of the rules is to buy a gun with a safety switch and only switch it to "fire" when you want the thing in front of you to gain an extra hole. When that's over, you switch it back to safe.
"Advanced" is a rather subjective term for games. Dwarf fortress (DO IT!) is a revolutionary game due to it's depth. It is a civ-like game that drills down to the individual left-pinky finger that holds the gem-encrusted ring (that menaces with spikes of iron) which makes the noble dwarf more confident in his finances so he drives a harder bargain bartering for the weapons traded to the Elves which ultimately causes their raid on the orc stronghold to fail and changes the political currents of the region.
DEPTH.
CPU crushing depth. Even if it dealt with mutli-cores better, it still wouldn't skip right along.
Oh hell no.
I agree wholeheartedly with the majority of your post, but you seem to think that the masses are somehow better. You give that sort of opportunity to any of us here and most of us will do just as they did.
Well if you figure out how to bring yourself up without:
-Employing people at wage-slave levels
-Influencing markets to better suit yourself
-Taking money from others
Then I'm all for you. Good luck. Most rich people don't do it on their own, so they employ people to do stuff for them. Rich people didn't get rich by paying their employees. Most rich people control their market to some extent. Power is worth more then money because it can make you money. As for the last part, realize that simply receiving money from others is bringing them down. Presumably, whatever they paid you for is worth more to them then they buck they paid for it, but this whole capitalism thing is a vicious cycle of clawing your way up at the expense of others. If you're at the top, it's more then likely you're standing on someone's neck.
Science is not performed in a vacuum. Doubly so for psychology. If you get a room of 10 idiots and ask them what they think of videogames it doesn't conclusively prove anything. Others have pointed out that the paper doesn't call anything conclusive, which is good for a scientific paper. But from the direct quotes from Anderson show he obviously believes that. Which isn't scientific and shows he is bias. This papers is essentially standing up and saying "see, my side is winning".
I'd even have to question the bias of the entire field as they probably wouldn't want to admit that their field isn't as important as the genes we start with.
If the nature vs nurture debate turns out to be mostly on the nature side, then psychology is mostly bullshit. Well, more so then it is now.
There are next to zero emotions being conveyed while driving. For all your road rage, yelling, braking, revving, and bird-flipping, unless the other driver takes the time to actually look at your person and is incredibly close then they won't pick up an any of it. If someone cuts you off, there is a good chance they didn't see you. If they pull a real dick move, then they're probably confused. It is not directed at you. You are not the center of the universe. And all bad phenomena cannot be blamed on malicious intent.
Now, there ARE assholes and they drive like it. Unless you are in the car with them they are nearly indistinguishable from simply bad drives.
Going though the motions IS being polite. Actually caring about it makes you friendly.

This is why every ELECTRO-STATION will employ a full-time roboticist PHD to maintain the giant mecha-arms that swap out your batteries.
(or we could just have an outlet at every street-light and travel the interstate with internal combustion)

I'd be happy with a coin-op extension cable at the base of the light pole in the parking lot.

There was a rolling blackout from the east coast up to Chicago due to that exact scenario back in the 90's.
