We use Sophos on our Linux mail relays and Trend on the desktops, servers and web proxy. We've only had one small virus outbreak in 15 months. I guess Trend isn't covered since there is no Linux client, but it is in the top bracket on every shootout I have seen in the last couple years.
I wonder what the performance penalty would be for thunking to kernel space would on every such operation would be? If it was well implemented I would guess it would be minimal since you could just pass the call off to the called kernel object directly. I also wonder what if any security vulnerabilities would be exposed by moving that extra code in kernel space. I know for the TrustedBSD tools it would be minimal due to their strict code checking policies, but for other systems having this much extra code in kernel space might be a risk.
Mostly due to the staff they had when the decision was made. They had a sysadmin who was a Windows guy with neither the aptitude nor desire to learn something else. With the current staff we have we could implement anything. While we might not start out as experts we could pick up enough to be competent relatively quickly.
The T1 is NOT abandonware, in fact I would say it is one of Sun's greatest strengths. We are doing a design for a JD Edwards data warehouse and while our JDE system is on Oracle on Windows we are looking at Unix platforms as strong choices for the data warehouse. Thanks to only needing 6 total boxes for the middleware layers for 4 different environments vs 16 Windows boxes Sun is 10% cheaper and 10% lower in 3 year operating costs despite having power sucking, expensive DB servers.
The T1 excels at large scale parallel integer operations. It had up to 8 cores and 32 execution units per chip. The biggest drawback was that there was one shared anemic FPU per chip so if even a relatively small amount of your workload was floating point performance took a serious dive. There were crypto functional units on the chip to help with SSL to combat this. The T2 is basically a refined T1 with the addition of a FPU per core. I'm not sure I can imagine an application where you would be better served with a T2 coprocessor card than a T2000 equivilant with 2 chips.
Your OS cache should not be caching 0 TTLs per RFC1034
Meanwhile back in the real world both OSX and Windows DO ignore 0 TTL's as do many ISP's caching DNS servers. This is one of the things that makes round-robin DNS and ISP cutovers rather hard to plan in the real world. In fact I assume that some worst case ISP's will cache results for 48-72 hours despite a TTL of say 10 minutes.
ABS does jack shit on ice. If you have no traction, you have no traction. It's the same kind of stupid people with 4 wheel drive, they think they can go like hell even when there's no traction. That's why about 40-50% of vehicle in the ditch are 4x4's whereas they are probably only about 10% of all vehicle. They will both help with snow and slush but at least around here ice=zero traction.
I'm sorry, but by the time you have racked up 3 DUI's you have proven that you don't give a flying f about anyone else on the road. At that point operating a vehicle while impaired should become attempted vehicular homicide with whatever consequences that carrier in the jurisdiction in question. I believe in giving people a second chance, and making an allowance for someone slipping up at some time later in life, but society needs to draw a line somewhere and if people are unable to control their own behavior and addictions then society needs to do it for them. Hell I think we should be arresting and incarcerating habitual drunk drivers a lot more than people who do a lot of other recreational drugs, they later are generally not endangering anyone other than themselves.
It doesn't matter; once the license is terminated, you can't get it back except if the authors explicitly grant it back to you.
Hehe, actually the way the GPL works they just have to download another copy of the program in question. You get a new license to the code in question each time you receive a copy of the code, if you didn't then the GPL wouldn't work. In case you haven't actually READ the GPL it is all about empowering the receiver of code, not the author.
I resubscribed for BC and quickly realized that the expansion did nothing to fundamentally change the gameplay which meant it was still kill x of y or deliver q to z. That made the week of playing the most expensive game I've ever played between the expansion pack and the 3 month subscription.
Hmm, moving the content between devices seems like a clear cut use for the interoperability exemption in the DMCA. Of course the problem with a law like the DMCA is that if you are ever accused of violating it your are presumed guilty until you spend enough money to prove your innocence.
Those stupid freaking "unskippable" trailers are the reason I ditched my PS2 for playing DVD's and bought a proper Apex DVD player that ignored that crap.
Hmm, when I look at the page info and click on security in Firefox it says the connection is using AES-256. Do you mean they are reducing the effectiveness of the AES-256 session by having a relatively weak 1120 bit public key?
I think you should have linked to the Mozilla addons page. I know I wouldn't install a firefox addon from a random site with the name hacker in the URL.
Exactly, Photoshop has made it impossible to trust anything you see. Video is still kind of difficult to alter like these photos were, but it's certainly possible for someone with the resources of a government of international organization behind them.
Sun's stuff isn't expensive, at least not if your workload fits into their profile. We are doing a bake-off between a number of vendors for a Peoplesoft/JD Edwards business intelligence project and the current cheapest hardware is Sun, beating the Windows/HP offering by 10% while being significantly more scalable. Then there is the added bonus that the 3 year operating cost is also 10% less due to needing so many fewer boxes thanks to the Niagra chip on the web/app servers.
There are tons of research chips made from the OpenSparc designs and Simply RISC claims to have an embedded processor made from a single core T1 design.
The problem with recording HDMI/DVI as I pointed out a couple posts up is that storage is around $1600 for 6 hours. This is NOT in the realm that a normal consumer would consider, hell I'm a relatively well paid professional (I make about 1.5x the national average household income)and that would be tough for me to stomach for such little utility.
Uncompressed 1080i is ~187MB/s, the best 7200RPM drives can sustain 46MB/s so you might be ok with a 4 drive RAID0 stripe but it would be close. Even then, with 1TB drives you have less than 6 hours of storage at a cost of about $1600 just for storage.
HDCP has been cracked but unless you have a display with DVI and no HDCP support it does you very little good. The problem is the HDCP protected signal is a full bandwidth signal, not the compressed OTA or disk steam, and there is currently no system available that can really deal with capturing that much data in real time that is in the consumer price range.
I'm not sure how much this will help. Athens Ohio (home of OU) already has multiple DS3's to the commodity internet and a link to Internet2 yet the people outside of town for probably 50 miles in any direction have very little chance of having any broadband connectivity and so no way to tap into that bandwidth.
I MUCH prefer the IBM Trackpoint to any trackpad style pointing device but there is currently no standalone wireless version (though there is a standalone USB version from Lenevo). In fact there is no good wireless trackball either! I was looking for a wireless device that would work well from the back of my 18' living room and the only thing I could find is from a company that makes presentation stuff for corporate use.
Quarterly. If it's a control then we have a chance of it being audited by bother internal and external auditors every quarter. We are guaranteed to have every control checked yearly.
And here's two whole ones currently listed for $51 (though reserve's not met). Shipping on 3tons has to be pretty expensive, not to mention powering them =)

Almost all SD TV's make horrible monitors. I'd think you'd be better off with a OLPC from a usability standpoint.
