In other news, an ad campaign was launched to defame free speech. Since free speech is essentially lost revenue for the communications business, so the parties argue, all speech should be taxed or otherwise paid for. One ad talks about that 'you can steal but you can't hide' ; another says 'speech is too valuable to be free'. The involved parties intend to continue until the free market has been restored..
Look at it the other way around. If you suspect someone is doing evil deeds on the internet, all that needs to be done by law enforcement is gather some legitimate data from that person, for instance an e-mail. The clock skew can than be compared to the illegitimate traffic, for instance something routed through hundreds of hops, for the same clock skew. Since the chance of having the exact same clock skew is very remote, this could then be used as real evidence in a court of law.
Ofcourse you can write a packet proxy that can rewrite the entire packet and forward it.
How are you going to process these function results? Do you think they can all write to the video ram at the same time? And how will you address thread exceptions?
Sure, firing a thousand threads is easy.. handling the thread results and errors, and communication between threads are the hard part.
For instance, launch a thousand threads simultaneously to add a new item to a listbox, and make it prone to errors, for instance by making each thread iterate over all items in the listbox while the other threads are still busy.
Count how many threads succeed, and how many fail with an exception. Note that most threads (70%+) will just vanish mysteriously without a warning whatsoever. (on win32 at least)
No, I'm not talking about SOAP. I'm not talking about DCOM, CORBA or any other means of RPC either.
I'm talking more about migrating running processes from one machine to another, by persisting the objects, and recreating them. More along the lines of having MOSIX built into the application.
A decent soap implementation can provide you with the xml representation of an object's state, which can be recreated and manipulated on almost any platform. what else would you like to transfer? You cannot store language independent method implementations in XML, its just the state.

I'm more interested in using XML as a means for language independent object persistence (not just cheesy.NET XmlSerializer class stuff either). How much coverage of such things is there in the book? Ie; creating an object in Java on one machine, persisting it and it's state to an XML file, and recreating it on some other machine in C++ or C#. I'm tired of writing my own "protocols" to migrate running code from one app to another.
You have obviously never looked into soap, which seems to be able to address every requirement you are describing.

The OS is talking to emulated hardware, so you can generate whatever response is needed. You could for instance forward the call to the real TPM in the machine that runs the emulator, and then remove the protection by snooping/dev/audio. Windows won't be able to tell the difference.
Will there ever be a free (as in beer) version of Windows, stripped bare of everything but IE and without any network server capabilities? That might compete quite nicely with Lunix.
Dude, I was thinking, like, wow, that's one big ocean!!! I kept scrolling and scrolling in hope to find Europe, must be what Columbus felt like when sailing to America...;) Are you sure Europe isn't somewhere on that map??
IANAL but these logs would probably not be accepted as legally obtained evidence; I think it should be possible to get a court order for the destruction of these logs.

hM, I pay 69 for unlimited 8mb/1mb access, with current exchange rates this would be about $83/mo. (go GW!) Whats funny, it's actually with a UK provider (demon) and with no bandwith limit whatsoever. So the deal seems a) a tad slow and b) a tad expensive. I'll pass, 8MB is nothing new. I'm waiting for 100 mb access.....
So do you really think that there are many countries that donate over 1% of their budget to the third world? The UN directive is 0.7 percent per year and only a hand full of coutries comply to that directive.. notibly not the 'richest' country in the world.

Well, it isn't, so good luck in the hospital. Its copyright infringement. Nobody was deprived of existing property, maybe they did not recieve a fictional revenue for someone who would buy the work instead of downloading. If anything the whole filesharing business creates revenue by making free promotion and stealth marketing. The wet dream of every marketeer is supposed to be a nightmare for copyright holders? Boo f*ing hoo.
Atheists/agnostics have the same type of fanatic devotees who are obsessed with tearing down people's beliefs. A number of them regularly post on/., but are rarely modded Trolls like their religious counterparts are.
Well, maybe because the atheists' claim for the Thruth is the only proof built on scientific proof... all theories without proof are, well, as you say, essentially trolls. And we all see on slashdot how well people respond to that kind of reasoning..

But, not using Soap is quite common on Slashdot
I'd say that after 40 years the copyright should have long expired.
There certainly will be [performace benefits] if you want to run Doom 3
Penalties maybe, because twice the amount of ram has to be copied... but benefits? How can you tell?
