Yeah, and you also need to reboot your Pentiums to run 16-bit code.
It is just the state of a flag in a control register. In particular, see page 68 of AMD's Opteron System Programming Guide.
64-bit mode is enabled with the flip of bit 8 of the EFER Model-Specific Register. Otherwise it defaults to 32-bit mode. OS designers should test/set this bit just before running a thread in the scheduler, or jumping into system code as it can only be modified by code running in ring 0. This is the same way people treated the Virtual-8086 (16-bit) mode bit in CR0. In fact, you can combine the protected-mode, virtual-8086 mode, and "long mode" bits to have a variety of register-size and memory addressing modes per thread.
No WONDER it's fucked. Not only is the 7xxx series fubar, but the all-in-wonder makes it worse. My friends were all like "The All-in-Wonder is teh bomb" and I'm like, "Fuck that. I'm getting a Osprey 100". Now where are their AIW cards? That's right, the garbage.
I read the DV and immediately thought of the external box with S-Video and firewire adapters. My bad.
Oh wait, I want to spend my money on applications and porn sites. Damn, I guess I'll have to find a stabler OS and do research on what hardware is well made.
2) It's lots better now. Version 7.9 of the MMC toolkit and drivers is much more robust and overall seems to be a genuinely functional part of windows NT, and in particular, DirectShow (it requires directx 9!)
BTW, that card is your common Brooktree 878 chip. You could have used hacked Hauppage drivers, or better yet, btwincap.sourceforge.net's bt878 open source drivers for Windows (top notch!). I got excellent performance with the latter coupled with DScaler after being disgusted with ATI.
But recently I downloaded the update for deploying on a new machine I built, and I was pleasantly surprised. I've used it for hours without issue.
That's not an overlay PCI card, is it... it uses external hardware so the most you're hammering on in the kernel is the IEEE1394 or USB 2.0 components, which are well tested.

As it stands now a hacker really has nothing to gain by learning to hack linux. So you mean it'd be of no value to root RackSpace or Verio and launch a massive attack from systems with redundant backbones as opposed to a bunch of crappy dial-up boxes? I wasn't responding to your so-called claims because they are groundless and uninformed.
1) Linux runs like on shit on a 486 and nobody does it anymore except to brag about it. You can buy spare PII and PIII systems for less than the time it takes to get the 486 booted up, even at minimum wage. Asshat.
2) 1% marketshare is more like 5% of all Internet facing machines, and about 25% of all machines with decent bandwidth. Also, holes that can hit Linux may also be applicable to FreeBSD (think Yahoo, Akamai), so that might be even higher in terms of oppurtunity.
3) Which linux users who actually know anything claim that it's unbreakable? I sure don't. And for the longest time, Microsoft was claiming the opposite. So now they are owning up to a terrible security record. Thanks a lot, we know that already, hhuhuh, talk about pot calling the kettle black.
You might have noticed that a lot of the positively moderated comments for this story are lamenting FSF's policies on backups and patches, and urging them to get on the fucking stick instead of being apologetics.
At least it wasn't a remote root exploit (cough RPC cough).
We have the same issue: our provider has all the cable customers in the subnet on a "hub", not a switched head-end, so I get all manner of broadcast packets slamming my connection. It is in the customers best interest to implement a firewall themselves; if they all did I wouldn't have the issue with chattiness on my connection.
it's better when the ISP blocks nothing. When they blocked 80 i got rreally pissed.
But, IMHO, there is zero reason to allow 135-137 anywhere past the first gateway. 1) The protocol isn't WAN tractable. 2) That is asking for huge trouble, and the default configurations are too open to ignore.
If in this case, it was other members of his subnet spamming him, then it just shows you have to be proactive if you don't want to get 0wn3d.
will you ignore all the ignorant pleas by tech workers who are seeing their former jobs go overseas, and instead push legislation that will foster the development of new start-ups, encourage wireless carriers to expand coverage with modern standards, and to increasing funding to local graduate programs to help people go back to school and find new areas in which to work?
Despite being Mr. Universe and having married a Kennedy, what other qualifications and leadership experience do you have to politically lead the fifth largest economy of the world?

I don't know if you've tried it, but I have 1 POP and 2 IMAP servers I connect to with thousands of messages, and it works just fine.

It's a Radeon 7xxx with all-in-wonder.

Also I use linux all the time, at work and on my laptop, and that 2000 box is dual boot.
So *pbbbbt* on you.

W2K == fragile?
W2K == weak memory protection?
Did you miss the checkbox that asks: "Run this in a seperate memory space?"
What, if any, similarilty does Windows NT 5 share with 3.11 or Me, for that matter, aside from a compatibility API (ala Wine)?
1) I know what you mean. It totally sucked.
2) It's lots better now. Version 7.9 of the MMC toolkit and drivers is much more robust and overall seems to be a genuinely functional part of windows NT, and in particular, DirectShow (it requires directx 9!)

But so can a college educated techie. I was trying to spin the tables around on the question, not ridicule Arnold.
I'd be happy if he won too! I might even consider moving there after that.
I don't think so. Have you seen the invocation of some embedded applets in IE? Nothing like Netscape.
I have my feelings against Microsoft, but this smells like being in the right place at the right time, and PTO's own trademarked brand of ignorance.
