Not sure of the answer for you question, but whenever I have problems with Corporate Overloads, I move some Corporate Loads to another circuit, then reset the Corporate Breaker.
Is this one at all related to the previous image library flaws (the vulnerability for which the GDI detection tool was released to identify any Windows apps that were affected)?
Oh, wait, I think I found it! A patch was released for PNG processing flaws on Tuesday this week; among the affected software: Microsoft MSN Messenger.
that the whole thing is going to disappear. But not before it drags on for a while yet and we'll probably NOT get to see McBride and others charged with any crimes (which I would *love* to see, deserved or not).
Maybe he'll get caught beating his wife or something... I can dream.
Starting the late 90's they were being very public about pushing to the front of being "wired"... even got a Yahoo! "Most wired city" award for 2000. That was all on an effort to get the city ringed with fiber. I guess once they got their high-speed net to all the city buildings and schools, their interest pretty much fizzled, leaving the city-zens still not quite on of the game... I still can't get DSL.
Earlier this week, they released a slew of patches... 6 or 7 of them that affected XP SP2 and were rated critical. Perhaps they feel inadequate in comparision to Red Hat, et al and have some catching up to do?
The United States is no longer a world leader in art and culture. The most popular word to describe its citizens today is "consumer." Our cities are decaying and dangerous. The implications for the younger generation are terrifying. But with Linux, we could turn all of that around!
At least he has a vision *cough*
Between that bizarre view that an OS is the cure to societal ills and the assertion that there is absolutely no application that Windows might be required to implement, I hope the quality of the book doesn't suffer. I mean, the book sounds like a great resource (time to read some reviews) but the author sounds like he's just a few page faults from the loony bin.
Most criminals' undoing is in not knowing when to stop.
That and that these folks had too many accomplices. Let's say the original 4 people decided they had stolen enough and got out. Guaranteed, there will be others who won't quit, will get caught and sure as shootin, they'll rat out anyone else they know who is or was involved.
Hmmm, I think I see a weakness in the 'self checkout' concept. How the heck do you prevent the UPC abuse there? I guess they will have to rely the old security cams to spot folks sticking labels on boxes.
BTW, kudos to the submitter for providing a link to the light-weight (printable) version of the article.
never said I was big man on campus. I said I was responsible for 67 PCs, that ain't too big. The 400 PCs are only the lab PCs for the college of engineering. Campus IT handles most of the other couple thousand.
The 400 or so that *we* support are comprised of variations of 5 different base models with differing hardware.
My point was that we tested all the applications on each seperate image, found a few issues, solved them and deployed SP2 to the labs with no issues. For the average user, SP2 provides an unprecedented (in MS products) level of security and I see no overwhelming evidence that one should avoid this update.
Who needs to wise up it's you, the people in the thread are just stating their experiences...
Huh? I replied to a guy who said something about common wisdom == don't install SP2. I stated my experience (and opinion) and I'm really quite glad to hear the opinions of others in reply.
In each of the 4 broken apps, it was strictly the developer's fault. DivX is an example; the had some funky anti-reverse engineering code running which the new execution protection features didn't like, but the DivX people had a fix before SP2 went gold. The other 3 apps would die with a stop box... same thing.
You guys on the "don't install SP2!" bandwagon need to wise up.
I am personally responsible for the software on 67 windows computers at a university. I am jointly responsible for almost 400 of same.
On the image I created and support, there are 93 applications loaded on top of a base XP install. These range from silly stuff like DivX player to Pro/Engineer. I had to test each and every one of them for SP2 compatibility.
A grand total of 4 applications wouldn't work at all. 2 or 3 more had minor problems. Every one of those with problems were corrected by getting updated versions of said app.
Any other usability problems are strictly a function of the firewall and if you (being a/.er) can't deal with that, then you don't need to be using a computer or posting in this forum.
With Intel having recently backed off on the effort to push clock rates ever higher, is there a plateau in sight for AMD? Will we not see anything between 5 to 10 GHz with today's techniques?
Maybe it'll take optical computing to spur the next clock push.
And if you've got crappy dialup internet only, you can find a local user group or someone in your area from the list/link below who'll give you (or sell you at cost) a Linux distro
True, but this is an example of using the latest (of what may hopefully become mainstream) manufacturing technology to take the concept of 'maximizing the surface area' to the next level, increasing the storage density and reaction area proportionally.
However, I suspect that traditional issues such as buildup of non-reactive material will affect this tech just as badly or worse than the existing technology. Time will tell.
Funny thing about that replica you mentioned. The guy says he spent a lot of time 'un-implementing' features of the newer components he used in order to be certain it functions just like the original.
I think he went about it all wrong. He could have pretty much coded the whole thing in an FPGA... a (nearly) single-chip solution.
Maybe the people who might be interested in a replica would rather see a big board full of chips, though.
I'm not sure I see anything to do with 'laws' in this. It does look like a novel approach and I applaud the kind of lateral thinking that caused someone to apply an algorithmic method to the task that was devoloped for something in such a (seemingly) different field.
I firmly believe that bioinformatics is going to the the next IT. Programmers will use compilers that create genetic sequences for bio-machines and bio-computers (the debugging process is the main scary part). The odd contrast to present IT is that the underlying 'hardware' isn't something we will have invented, but something we are just learning to use.
I think this is evidence that they are headed in the right direction. Rather than completely custom hardware all the way down to the processors, they've positioned themselves more competitively by using the CPU design power of a major business and consumer supplier as well as applying their own special design talents to other hardware areas that are not served by the business/consumer vendors.
I too was worried that Cray would completely disappear if they continued to pursue the expensive and anachronistic supercomputer design model.
Too true. For a period in the early 1990's at my old job, I was part of a core of 4 key people (company even had 'key man' insurance on each of us). No more than 2 of us were allowed to travel on the same flight on business trips.

one order of the Internet, two browsers and a side of standards compliance, please!
The ugly truth is, I must use IE sometimes. All that microsoft extension stuff... still used way too much for me to get along without it.

Gee, they release 6 or 7 critical patches to XP SP2 earlier this week... they must be trying to make up for lost time.

Yes, novel. Novel that the 'old hat' bio-info stuff was applied to analysing data on digital networks.
