It happened on mine as well a couple of days ago. The sequence was something like this:
I started getting an error from lsass.exe only if I logged on as root which I do every couple of weeks or so
This error would not go away. I could click it away as often as I wanted, it came back immediately.
If I rebooted, sometimes it would hang while rebooting, sometimes it would auto-reboot again after 30 (?) seconds and sometimes it would show the lsass.exe error again. Only as root.
Then when I had time to follow this up and was checking things out, I got the 'Illegal Copy' message
The obvious thing to suspect was Sasser, but my XP machine is behind a serious firewall, it has all security patches applied, and all my emails go to the Linux machine. Two virus-scanners running under Knoppix both said all was ok - no Sasser.
Ok, I rang Microsoft and they confirmed that my XP copy was fine. They appear to have done something to clear the flag and - after rebooting - Bingo! the lsass.exe error was gone as well.
Nope, I have no idea what the moral of this sordid tale is either. Either the lsass.exe error came because it thought my copy was bad (but no 'Illegal Copy' error-message until 10 days later), or the 'Illegal Copy' message came because lsass.exe was not reporting home. In the second case, why has the error-message gone away? My best guess is: I performed a Windows update successfully (by hand) immediately before the 'Illegal Copy' message first came. This caused the lsass.exe error message to change on the next boot (error-message rather than the code -1073741819). Then Microsoft cleared the 'Illegal Copy' flag at their end (is this possible?), *then* all was fine. The update certainly did *something* to lsass.exe.
That XP box is needed for two purposes: to run some Tax software (there is a Java version of this now which runs under Linux) and to run a Mainframe Terminal Emulator + Outlook over a VPN for work purposes. I do not have the technical savvy or the ambition to get *that* running under Wine, they are tools for my job. Moving the Tax stuff to my Linux machine is out as well, it is in the DMZ and I want that data well away from the net.
No to the socialism. The original NSDAP had socialist elements but the 'night of the long knives' (I think) finished that. The two Strasser brothers were the heads of the socialist fraction. One was killed and one escaped to Canada. The Nazi leaders would have absolutely hated being called socialists. After the war, the CSU (Christian Socialist Union) was founded in Bavaria. Apart from a couple of years in the late 50's they have been the ruling party there since elections were allowed. They do not define themselves as Sozis, no matter what the party happens to be called. Their aim has always been to be the most rightwing party in mainstream German politics.
Eugenics were actually quite popular around then - also in the US - and this attitude survived in Sweden until around 20-30 years ago.
Napoleon's armies used a far better encryption scheme 60 years earlier.
Their system was numbers up to (I think) 1000,
some of those numbers represented letters, numbers, special characters; several different numbers would map to a single character
some mapped to names, places, words
some mapped to nothing at all. They were simply there to confuse the issue.
Sometimes messages were a mixture of clear text and code. One of them (which was meant to be intercepted) ran something like: I am confident of repulsing the enemy's attackif I receive major reinforcements. Obviously only the second part was in code.
The code was eventually cracked in the Peninsula campaign (Spain) by Wellington's army, partially through brilliance on the part of the crackers and partially through mistakes by the French. Some of these mistakes were:
the code was extended by 200(?) numbers. All of these extras were names, words or places relevant to the Peninsula campaign. The fact that these extras were in a block rather than spread around weakened the code.
Some of the mixed code/cleartext messages were very poorly thought out
the sheer volume of intercepted messages. The French were hated and the Guerillas intercepted a *lot* of their communications.
the French kept to one code sheet far too long
At some late stage in the campaign, an actual codesheet was captured. This was actually bad because the French were forced to adopt a new one, but by then the outcome of the campaign was no longer in doubt.
The good thing about that (from AMD's POV) is that a powerful 2X desktop processor will not be 'Under Load' very often, the bad thing is that those figures probably also apply when only one of the processors is running flat out.
At the wall socket at least, the AM2 CPU appears to use more power than the Pentium EE 3.73GHz.
wtf? I want independent confirmation of *that* one. It flies against everything we have seen in the last couple of years. Was there something wrong with the AM2 which meant it ran flat out all the time?
I know they have a problem (design flaw?) with dual-core processors whereby if one processor is running flat out then the other is as well, regardless of load.
For the last couple of years, AMD products have been the best in so many ways and Intel have been producing heating units. Now the Empire has Struck Back - Dell will be very happy about that.
I personally have absolutely no interest in 'the fastest thing in town', gamers may care but Cool, Quiet and Reasonably Fast are easily enough for me.
From what I hear, the Conroe is slightly more energy-efficient than AMD's offerings. How does it scale? The Opteron is designed to be a server processor more than anything else.
This Jupiter-like planet appears to be a pretty weird case. An orbit lasts 4 days, an object as large as that with an orbit as short as that must be relatively easy to discover. I suppose the thing will not be around much longer anyway - it will impact the sun there.
Hmmm. I *could* edit the code, if you really wanted me to. I have written around half a dozen C routines in my life so merging any of my changes would be a baaaaaaaaad idea.
Slightly more seriously, I had to write some Perl back in 1999 and frequented a/the Perl Newsgroup for a while. No-one attacked me (I was *very* polite) but there was some really serious flaming going on in that neck of the woods.
You overreacted. KDE is still very much supported on SuSE. Why jump ship based on a rumour of what someone might possibly do when you can just as easily jump ship later if they ever actually do it. I am on OpenSuSE 10.0 now and the water is just fine.
Years ago I was worried that what I was doing did not have much of a future and was looking at retraining doing something else. In the end I decided to carry on with what I was already specialised in and cross that bridge (retraining) when I came to it. I am still working on the same platform 20 years later, still worried that it is going to run out at some point but have noticed that some of the alternatives I was looking at back then no longer exist.
Hmmm, I just tried www.goggle.com (no. I am NOT supplying that as a link).
It claimed to be a spyware detection site and tried to download some.exe file - automatically - onto my PC. I can see the advantage of blacklisting *that* sweetie.
It will save a lot of viewing time for those readers who actually want to find out about how SCAMP measures up to LAMP, LAPP, WAMP etc.
Why should anyone care? SCO are attempting to copy something which exists already while charging more for it. The reason they went the 'sue IBM and Linux' way in the first place was that they could not compete. A couple of years down the track, their lawsuit is on the rocks, they have seriously annoyed everyone (except Microsoft), they have neglected their main product which was not competing in the first place. Why *should* anyone care how SCAMP matches up?
I am writing this on a VIA C3 machine running at 866. While I suspect that my memory config may be sub-optimal (128+128+512, 512+512 would probably be better) this machine is *not* fast enough to play videos. It is quiet (passive cooling) but it is low powered in both senses.
Still, for most other purposes it is plenty fast enough.
What I don't understand with this Turion story is why AMD are not pushing desktop usage for this processor themselves. This is the one area AMD are really perceived as being behind Intel. From what I have been reading recently, Intel seem to be phasing their desktop processors out to replace them with Pentium M-based products. Now it looks as though AMD have a pin compatible alternative which could - if they can make enough of them - do even more damage to Intel. Pity about that second memory channel though.
The article talks about resignations from the group's 'advisory board' which implies that the board is part of the group, they are apparently missing something.
I first read about this yesterday here and according to them that 'group' has one registered member, Andrew Jones.
Don't stop searching, just don't use other engines. Yahoo and the others all came up with the information. What would happen if you used http://uk.yahoo.com/ or http://www.google.ca/ ? Do the US administration ask for their details as well? The answer may be 'yes' because I have heard of some plans some EU-sponsored search-engine in the last few days and the timing seems a bit strange to be a coincidence.
Skills that are essential in - say - Sweden or Wisconsin are pretty much useless in Portugal or Texas. Someone who drives all the time in the coastal area of NC is going to suffer in winter up near the TN border. How can you make the ability to cope with certain driving conditions mandatory in an area where these conditions do not exist? What happens if someone takes their driving test in summer when the nearest snow is on a glacier?
I originally got my driving licence in southern England, 10 years later I had an accident in heavy snowfall in Germany. Those conditions are virtually unknown in the area I grew up in. At least there was one positive side-effect of that accident - another 11 years later I was driving a car in WA-State and it started drifting on ice. I knew *exactly* what to do.
Finally, that automatic braking done by the S-Class Mercedes. That assumes no-one else suddenly changes lanes. I would hate having that feature unless I could disable it, I would hate even more having a car in front of me with that feature when someone changed lanes to be in front of them - a perfectly normal situation in rush-hour traffic would turn into an accident.
My understanding is that virtually all current games are single-threaded. Having a dual-core processor only allows other software to run on the second core, it would be rather amazing if it allowed a game to run faster. There is actually a negative here - the processor only goes into power-save mode if both cores are idle.
This processor is designed for use in a server, not for games.
Early in his first term, Dubya gave citizenship to a large number of (until then) illegal Hispanic immigrants. When the analysis and counting were over almost 4 years later, that was exactly the demographic group which had been expected to vote Democrat but which had gone the other way and had won the election for him.
Simple, effective, almost certainly one of Rove's contributions.
Jimmy Boyle was a 'hard man' in Glasgow back in the 70's, he was eventually sentenced to a long term of imprisonment for murder. Although he always claimed to have been framed at a time when this was happening frequently in the UK, he was definitely a serious criminal and a dangerous man to come up against.
Once in prison, warders would try and push him around - something the other prisoners would not have dared to. Then he was transferred to a prison (Peterhead) where a gay rapist - backed by the prison heirarchy and gang of his own - was active. After a number of confrontations, a situation was manufactured where the rapist had a large knife and the advantage of surprise. Those advantages were not enough and it took an emergency operation in Aberdeen to keep the man alive.
Later (months later) Boyle was attacked in his cell at night by 6 warders. Some of those warders came out with very serious injuries, Boyle himself barely survived. Once he had recovered, a new approach was tried (the whole affair had become very public). A new secure 'special unit' was founded within another prison, the idea being to treat the inmates there like human beings. Boyle later described his shock when he was immediately handed a knife so he could cut open a parcel containing his belongings. In that unit he became literate, learned sculpture and met his current wife - a psychologist and prison visitor. He wrote part of his autobiography (in diary form) in prison and more after his release, you could describe him as a sculptor and writer nowadays. All well and good, but most of those other inmates in the special unit did *not* break free. Boyle and his family have long lived outside the UK because he will always be perceived as a violent criminal there.
