My largest problem isn't the graphic card's frame rate ability. It is that damned speed of light that is keeping me from getting a low ping when I play on European servers. Seriously....you can play most games with an average machine, but your frame rate is really limited by the propogation delay and all the hops between you and the server. Get me a lower ping, and I'll be one happy guy!
Open WiFi sounds really dangerous to me, kind of like running a freenet node. You are providing freedom to yourself and others, but you have no idea what content is being requested/served. When it comes down to the RIAA cracking down on it, unfortunately, you'll be the holder of the account.
It's too bad that people still connect systems to the internet without any kind of firewall.
Let's be serious though...joe schmoe with his cable modem should be able to plug his computer directly into the internet without having to worry about it getting compromised. In the perfect let's-hold-hands-in-a-giant-circle-jerk world, this would be true. Linux may not be the silver bullet, but it certainly gets exploited a lot less that its friends. On the other hand, that could be attributed to the sheer volume of Windows machines out there.
...I know who use DSL routers/firewalls only share it with their family/roommate.
If I were running a neighborhood wireless LAN, I would make sure that everyone knew the risks of file sharing. Then again, it would be much easier to just make one of your neighbors sign up for the service and pay them IN CASH.:)
This could easily be managed by running a program on the infected machine that opens a socket back to the scanning machine and blocks (mute_ex) one of a finite number of threads on the scanning machine for a certain period of time before it times out. Once a host is cleaned and notifies the server, the thread would be assigned another computer to disinfect. By limiting the number of threads, you can control the amount of bandwidth used by the server.
The only problem with scanning the machine upon DHCP request is that DHCP will time out within a certain amount of time. Perhaps new IPs given out should be assigned to a certain subnet that can't route until they are disinfected.
I'd like to see someone write this piece of software!!
The "friendly" variant of MSBlast does every host at once and yes, creates a shitload of traffic to download the patch from Microsoft.
My point is that the traffic should be contained on the LAN, which is much faster and less expensive than grabbing the patch over the internet.
It would be nice if somebody would write a patching program for MSBlast that would automatically run on all of the hosts a certain subnet and patch them one by one. It would saturate the network, but it would save the IT department precious appointments.
With all of the variants of msblast out there, there must be source code for the exploit someplace that someone could use to write a "friendly" patch program.
There really wasn't much of an article. It was just an overview of the license. Upon futher inspection, I agree with you that this only applies if you extend the PHP source code, not products written in PHP.
Thanks!
The sad thing is that I previewed my post and still didn't catch the error. Thanks!
I've always bought copies of games that I play a ton of. Don't you ever feel like you have a duty to the company to pay for software you use a ton?
that they got their money back, considering that most of those CDs have warning labels on them like a PC with an 'X' through it.
I guess that if a woman can get millions of dollars for spilling hot coffee on herself, someone else can get a refund for a CD that they couldn't play in their computer.
I hope this encourages record labels to stop making that type of CD!!
The good thing about if they talk at a normal volume is that it is easy to dismiss as background noise. Whispering is so easy to hear and so distracting that I would always put headphones on when my cube neighbor was on the phone.
Some additional pointers from my experience in cube land...
11) Don't yell at your kids when the people around you are actually trying to work.
12) Talk at a normal volume when you're on the phone with your boyfriend/playmate/f*ck buddy. Whispering is actually more intense than talking and much more difficult to block out.
Our situation was really annoying where I worked because I was a developer on the border with the testing area. I would code all day long, and the testers would just try to break software (click click click click click click.......x1000) or run test scripts (way too much free time). At the same time, I liked being able to talk quickly with people in the next cube about WORK-RELATED issues.

So, if these hosts are on the same physical networks as good hosts, will the good hosts pick up the ping scans from the bad hosts and be infected?
If not the good hosts, could the other computers on 192.168.0.0/16 be infected?

Take a look at the other 6 replies. At least two of them have a link to the picture. There's no need to google it.
Somebody please post a link to that picture with the pill-people chasing the kitten. I laugh every time I see that!

That's where I saw the CDs in the first place: I was studying in Heidenheim, BW two summers ago. I can't read French, but I can read German :)
Do many consumers just not buy those CDs?
Is there a way for them to rip them and burn them to a safer disc format?

6. Redistributions of any form whatsoever must retain the following acknowledgment: "This product includes PHP, freely available from ".
I write stuff in PHP, and I never include that when I distribute my source code. Do any other developers ignore this clause?
And how do you play to thrwart the license key system that Half Life/Counter Strike used?
You don't want a bankruptcy on your record for 7 years unless you plan on being completely liquid (cash/checks) or buying a car at 15% interest.
Valve canned the Mac port because they said it wouldn't interoperate with the PC version online.

Not to point out the obvious, but maybe they should reverse the byte order next time they share network data between PCs and Macs
Yeah..the ghost partition is hidden at the front of the disk.

What was the difference between IE for Mac and IE for Windows that made IE for Mac more compliant?
