    i exactly what an nt bsod is like, you dumb cunt. now follow this logic:

    blue - it was blue, alright
    screen - it was on a screen, too
    of - reduntant
    death - the error took out internet explorer. it died. dead. death

    now grow up and stop playing the 'my bsod is more dead than yours' game. it's not funny, and it sure as hell ain't clever. you spastic.

    the screen was blue, internet explorer had died. blue screen of death. maybe the error wasn't as severe as when nt *really* blows up, but who cares, you pedantic faggot?

    if you choose to 'show window contents when dragging' from display properties then this problem will go away. if that box isn't ticked then windows assumes you've got a low spec machine and doesn't waste the processor cycles drawing updates until you've moved the window.

    I purchase Windows 2000 Server, Exchange Server, and the recommended hardware to run it on, and when it fails at half the advertised max load, Microsoft will gladly bill me for a support incident to tell me I need better hardware!

    good windows admins are hard to find too. a windows admin job is easy to busk even when you don't know what your doing, hence all the mediocre fucktards flooding the market and giving windows admins in general a bad reputation.

    ERT Advisory CA-2002-01 Exploitation of Vulnerability in CDE Subprocess Control Service

    Original release date: January 14, 2002 Last revised: -- Source: CERT/CC

    A complete revision history can be found at the end of this file.

    Systems Affected

    * Systems running CDE

    Overview

    The CERT/CC has received credible reports of scanning and exploitation of Solaris systems running the CDE Subprocess Control Service buffer overflow vulnerability identified in CA-2001-31 and discussed in VU#172583.

    Read More...

    Reports from places like cert and bugtraq show that there are just as many exploits out there for *nix based systems.

    Network security of this nature is clearly not working when being applied at the OS or software levels, and a more flexible solution than the standard firewall is needed.

    What would your opinion be of a 'mini-firewall' included as standard on all new network cards. The firewall would have packet filtering rules filtering out 'generic suspicious traffic' (such as bar an IP address for a day if something containing default.ida and a hell of a lot of 'N's comes through). The rules would be held on a flash ROM, which could be updated when necessary with software from a trusted source such as CERT and digitally signed by a non-trusted one such as Verisign.

    Software could also be written to instruct the card to open certain ports and update the rules so that safe traffic for that software can pass through.

    Unfortunately, the extra $20-30(?) would probably sink it dead in the water, not to mention the hassle of having to reprogram all network software to work with it. How does the idea stand in theory, though?
