Not only that, but the DLL does not EXIST in Safe Mode! It can ONLY be created and accessible during a normal boot
Can't you create a fake DLL with the same filename while in Safe Mode, make it read-only and then reboot? Will the worm overwrite it, rename it, create the DLL under another name?...
Honnestly, I think this concept does not only apply to Animes but also to music, other TV shows and movies -- even software.
OK, it all starts with an illegal act: someone shares a file, thus violating someone's IP. However, what happens then is a wonderful marketing scheme that, somehow, no industry seems to grasp yet. People get to know new stuff in vast quantities everyday -- things that would probably never have been popular enough, or promoted enough to be known.This attracts new *potential* costumers to what you do/sell/produce, without paying for any advertising.
E.g.: You discovered a new, obscure death metal band from Sweden. No, you did not pay for the album you downloaded. But you shared the files with you buddies who in turn shared with their friends, etc. Some will buy the album, some will buy t-shirts, some will buy other albums from the band, and many will be at the show when they come to your town (and maybe they would never have come if it wasn't for the new fans they got from the net). Then, there are people who will download the music, and do nothing. And I think my exemple may be applied to any other media, even when it's mainstream. You discover things that you wouldn't have paid for, and then you become a potential costumer.
My point is: the industry seems to see things the wrong way. The "bad" file sharers are collateral damage. They are NOT the problem. The problem is the industry itself who never took time to profit from the worldwide, free advertisement they get. Music labels count file sharers as lost sales... instead of seeing it as a promotion for the next band's show, or audience for the ads in a TV show, or PR people who will promote their products for free. These file sharers wouldn't even have heard about the band without the net -- where did the labels lose any penny?...
Employees use Windows machines at home, and therefore prefer to use them at work.
It shouldn't be so. Employees use simple phones at home, but often have to understand a few more things to operate more complex communication systems at work. They wear jeans at home but chose more expensive and elaborate clothes to work. Some drive regular cars to drive daily but drive specialized machinery or huge trucks at work.
Why should we be so dumb when it comes to computers? Why can't the boss simply say "we need security, here's how to use our computers." Period. That would benefit everybody because: - Businesses will be somewhat more secure - People will be more computer litterate - Maybe other OS than Windows will get to be used at home, thus diversifying the systems on the Net and making it more difficult to exploit them.
The "conquest" of space may require the efforts of all peoples of a planet working together and perhaps only by working together will we be ready to meet whatever advanced interplanetary culture travels space.
I just pictured us finally proclaiming World Peace. Then, there's thousands of weird creatures appearing from the sky with pointy hats and funny whistles, holding a large banner "Welcome (at last!)" and a giant bowl of Pangalactic Gargleblaster. Hehe:)
Ok, let's try to bring some solutions instead of just complaining. Let's say the ISPs are now forced to provide any and all info (contact, emails, visited websites, etc) on their customers to the govt when requested. What can we do then?
(Actually, who the hell ever felt secure and believed in any privacy when browsing?)
So, what can be done to preserve a certain amount of privacy and anonymity? Are there alternate networks being developped? Will we be forced to access the net through ISPs forever? Are there any good proxy services? Is the only option left to bounce through multiple compromised machines for one to exercise freedom to view whatever on the Net?
That is just so true. I've started doing that when I joined the army and there's a very good reason why they make you run 5 minutes after you wake up: it actualy GIVES you energy for the rest of the day. You feel better, you think better and you are happier. And healthier, of course. And boy, is the breakfast GOOD!
I've been in the army for only 1,5 year and I really, truly miss the physical training. I'm not disciplined enough to continue by myself. Shame on me!
Another point for the exercise before eating in the morning: you'll actually burn calories and then, when you eat (~30 minutes after the training preferably), the proteins will help repair your muscles.
Anyway, I'm far from competent in this domain, but that's the theory I remember, more or less correctly, and I can tell for sure that there's no better day than when you wake up, run, breathe fresh air, see the sun rise and eat a healthy breakfast. It feels good till the last minute and you sleep better.
Shit... Why the hell do we still buy and eat crappy food? And I myself am guilty of eating all sorts of fast food. But I just can't understand why I would prefer eating potato chips and feel fat vs. eating proper food and move a little. It's amazing how stupid we can be.
Or maybe spend more than $2 at the discount theatre.
With the pop-corn (covered with unsalted grease - no more butter here) and a bottle of water, I'll end up paying the price of a DVD. Just to see the movie once. And no, it's not a discount cinema -- but however big and American it wants to be, it'll be overcrowded and not as comfy as my house.
I also want to point out that I'll be seeing the movie in FRENCH, because 1) my friends prefer it this way (stupid, I know) 2) it's hard to find a cinema around here that has the original English version, unless I'm willing to go downtown and cope with the traffic jams (I'm in Montreal).
As for pausing the movie, get an attention span.
Because I feel like taking a piss, I am lacking attention span? What about the luxury of pausing the movie for whatever reason I want? Can I do that without having some moron telling me to get an attention span? Thank you very much.
The movies aren't cheap, the popcorn/candies/beverage cost way too much, then you get the extra ads in the hope you go get more of the expensive stuff, then you get 15 minutes of preview, then you get to see the movie. I don't see any reason to pay for that, unless your TV realy sucks. Or unless you're doing it for your kids or someone else -- like I do.
I voted "my own couch" in the poll, if you're wondering... There just is no place like 127.0.0.1:P
See it in theaters - simply amazing! You don't get that kind of experience from a computer.
You mean the young bastards with the laser pointers and cell phones? Or the Tall Guy sitting in front of you? Or the uncomfortable seats? Or the fact that you can't pause the movie?
First, they collect your search information. Next they collected your email. Now they collect your destination. You put it all together, that is quite a bit of information.
I know this doesn't apply to the majority of the slashdot crowd, but I still find it strange that people will panic about a company that collects some personal information yet they'll cope with the fact that there's a god, somewhere, knowing all...
The author should have added a direct link to Microsoft.com, so we could all click like sheeps (we all do it -- we just don't RTFA) and see if their new gear is slashdot-proof:P
Why is everyone so worried about spoilers? What spoilers? Is there someone here who *hasn't* seen Episodes 4-6? Everyone knows what is supposed to happen in Episode 3.
I totally agree. It's just like LotR -- everybody read the book already, and the movies were no less fun to watch.
We all know what happens and what we don't know, we can make up being 90% sure it's gonna be right. The story here isn't the corner stone, especially since Lucas turned into a marketing behemot and relies more on CGI than good script and actors.
When you can't find something on Google, I mean REALLY CAN'T find it? After you've tried AGAIN 3-4 times with different words, will you really look elsewhere or just accept the fact that what you're looking for does not exist, because Google says so? I'm sure I'm not the only one doing the latter....
...how geeks complain about "l00sers" using 3-characters passwords and now that there's someone who's trying to tell his kids to use proper password, we hear complaints too.
What exactly is a Slahshdot-approved(TM) password? Please tell me. I long to be as cool as all you 1337 h4x0rz but I don't want you calling me a paranoid.

Yeah. Tollkits make great geek gifts.
36 million americans live in a family where there is not enough food.
Don't worry. They.re not starving, they just happen to not be overweight...
Think secure facilities with guards, shielded rooms and computers, and vaults.

They'll never believe you actualy RTFA.
What are the "network limits" of linux, BSD, etc BTW?
What do you want to program them to be today?
It actually surprises me Microsoft don't hack their OS from time to time to fit their own needs...
