LSASS is the Local Security Authentication Server. It verifies the validity of user logons to your PC/Server (in technical jargon : it generates the process that is responsible for authenticating users for the Winlogon service).
There is also another worm that affects this service.
If the full path to this program is not C:\WinNT\System32\LSASS.exe (Windows 2000) or C:\Windows\System32\LSASS.exe (Windows XP, 2003), then you have the W32.Nimos.Worm virus or some other virus.

Duh!

See now you have @ sign in front of you just like me
Duh!

You have been owned!!!;-D
I agree!! I would think a fair test would be the "same person" doing all the three tasks and taking avergae over few more people. That is what statistics all about.
I agree!! I couldn't find any Led Zep either and most of the songs I like. What's the use of getting something free if you can't find something you like. Collecting free stuff is good, but collecting free junk is absurd.
I guess you should be thankful you are getting a job. With a masters I feel my salary is low too but I have settled for it now and will search for a better job. At least will have something to pay up my dues.
Interestingly even on an election topic people talk about outsorcing. Interesting isn't it?
Well matter of fact is I have voted on Electronic voting machines on two elections already and this was at least 4 years ago. It is interesting that technologically advanced country like US cannot go to EVMs... I would say its pretty straight forward as pushing a button to turn on or off your light. It's very simple, easy and "not confusing".
So we can interprete this in other ways is that there are so many "holes" that need to be "patched" that hackers have given up doing the hard work by themselves and let microsoft show them "the way"... I wonder why they release a buggy code from the start itself!!! If you have less/no patches MS won't have to make these stupid remarks at all!!!
Oh did i say they were buried? No they have a carrying pipeline so the coaxial shielding is not in contact with the earth but with a contact pipe. It is working in my city for more than half a century so i guess it does work. Again this is a concept of shielding within a shielding.
Yes I agree... the voltage is stepped down from the voltage lines to the house.. In any case if your internal home wiring is not shielded properly you should call an electrician!!!
When everday you come up with novel softwares, bugs, exploits, viruses, etc to find information about a certain user how successful would this law be? Another thing that caught my eye was act on "harboring illegal aliens" which ironically (or maybe humoristicly) seemed to me as identical problems. Getting too many unwanted things into your backdoor:-D. Ah well, as long as I am free of spam I won't complain!!!
I know most of the big cities have their power lines underground (at least mine did). The broadband company took it to their challenge to even put the broadband cables underground. I guess that could provide sufficient shield along with the shielding on the cable itself. Now the question is cost of doing this over the entire country, which I have no clue. Again I am just curious as to how will these two cable interact because it is failing my general electromagnetic knowledge.
Maybe my terminology confused you. With "different" workload we can have very good parallelism and can exploit it as we can assume independent threads will have independent instruction. How intel HT works is by dividing up resources between threads so lets assume we have 4 threads (call it t1,t2,t3 and t4) and that t1 is very busy while rest are not. Then the resources are split 4 ways however t1 will be queuing up(because it is busy) while resources with t2,t3 and t4 will be idle. This will also cause cache misses a lot and impact the other threads. The catch here is now we have to think up of thread selection policies which can be based on numerous logic like count, cache miss ratio, branch prediction count, etc. This is the area where I think the research is now concentrated on. I guess you will have more idea once you read the white papers on Intel's HT.
I have some insight into this technology as I was part of a research group researching SMT. It is a really cool technology that exposes Instruction level parellelism (ILP) and increases performance. The basic HT technology for the processor however distributes the resources. The details of Intel HT are available here at http://www.intel.com/technology/hyperthread/
You can also find whitepapers associated with this. Now the catch is application should be multi threaded. You just can't buy a HT processors and run single thread application and expect to improve performance. The performance benefits lie if optimal number of threads are used. If too less it will be unnecessary wastage of resources. If too high they will queue up and cause bottlenecks. The other thing that can affect performance is unbalanced workload and can cause threads which cannot exploit the parallelism. This is a new technology and lot of research is going on in this area and it looks really promising.
India is a cheap country to live in and I know it because I lived there. Yes you can say that you get very less pay than what you get in US but then you should also look at expenses. You spend more than half of your salary into taxes, rents, and payments of other kinds which is not the case in India. The saving there are tremendous. And you can end up saving more than here. The reason jobs keep on moving to India are significantly many some of which are:
1) 1 US Dollar = 50 Indian Rupees (approx)
2) You have to pay there much less than here in US. As for e.g. If I get paid here in US 5000 bucks a month, this translates to nearly 250,000 Indian Rupees. A salary of more than 25,000 Indian Rupees a month is considered more than excellent.
3) Excellent cheap labor. There are many educated people there whose primary language is English and can effectively deliver the goods.
The economic condition is improving drastically and it does not surprise me why companies want to move jobs to countries like India and China with the very reason why we are seeing such a jump into Jobs @ Bangalore.
I have always loved open source projects.. this has a unique opportunity of researching on your own and learning what others have done on the research.. like simple scalar tool available on University of Texas austin that allows you to research on microprocessor design I consider this one is a nice research tool in OS. Crossing my fingers for this release.

This is a conspiracy by Windows and SCO to ruin Linux!!!

In 20 years, as we all know the universe will have expanded and definitely the numbers will be off again.
Is this why the IRS computers were down yesterday? I had called them up regarding my return and they said all computers were down. Hmmmm...

The powerful machines may harm your genitals if you use for longer period of time on your lap!!! Use at your own risk!!

maybe they will keep an eye out for who bids for it and who buys it for potential terrorsits!!!
That's exactly what this company did. Ran fiber optics in the underground pipeline!!!
