I'd like to take the time to apologize for the shortcomings of my advice regarding restricted user accounts and privilege level. I try to lock things down and I do what you can, but sometimes things don't always work out the way I want them to. Some things just aren't as simple and cut and dry as I would like to believe they are. And I apologize if my advice was short sighted or misleading.
Maybe when you get the testicular fortitude to post onimously, I'll take you seriously. Until then, you're just a troll crying for attention. And if they need access to those files so badly, then maybe the boss need to hire computer literate people to do the job. And there is a such thing as backups, you know.
Connectivity is enhanced because the CSS has the inherent capacity to provide an 'always-on,' live connection to both operating system and network services.
"We run in support of and independently of an OS," Eades said. "The CSS will leverage that capability in many different ways through this DNA architecture."
This includes Embedded TCP/IP, for remote communications and diagnostics support, remote management, with dynamic provisioning, load balancing and software resource control, and an XML and SOAP standards-based interface to the CSS to tightly integrate the OS and management applications to the hardware in connected devices.
You want a techie answer? I'll give you a techie answer. Restricted users don't have write or modify permissions to the WINNT directory, its child objects, or subdirectories due to parent level propagation via NTFS.
If restricted users can get to critical business files and databases, then it's the admin and/or DBA admin's fault for not setting the proper privilege levels. And yes, DB's have permissions that can be set.
The RUNAS service will allow you to run an executable with elevated privileges. And shortcuts have the option to run as a different user by clicking the check box that says,"Run as different user." To use the RUNAS service, just hold down shift and right-click and you'll see an option that says "Run As".
Ah, but most worms and viruses *want* to write to the WINNT directory, it's subdirectories and the registry. Unless the worm or virus can elevate privileges, it's not going to be able to install itself as a service unless it puts itself in the startup menu in the user's registry. It really depends what the virus or worm was programmed to do. If it's something ilke klez which infects executables, then any executables with that user's permission will be infected. Some thing goes for a virus or worm that infects or destroys jps or word files. It just depends on what it was programmed to do. And it's going to most likely try to copy itself to the WINNT directory, it's subdirectories and the registry BEFORE it propagates itself.
And it also depends if the user's profile is mandatory or not. And user's files should be saved to a server and not locally.
Use the runas service to do administrative stuff. You can either use it in command line form or hold down shift and right click on an executable. It works on most control panel applets as well.
"could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running IE"
This is why you run as a restricted user rather than administrator or power user. Restricted users don't have write or modify permissions to the WINNT or Program Files directories or subdirectories. And they certainly don't have permission to screw with the registry.
MS and Phoenix are planning to incorporate several features including TCP/IP in the BIOS. With the prospect of an onboard firewall, nVidia may very well be both ahead of its time and an (un)intentional partner with MS and Phoenix.
I know Gigabit Ethernet would be great for thin clients. Their really making a come back, too. It's incredible to think that you can run faster over wires than you can with the local system bus.
Having Gigabit ethernet at home would be pretty wild. For windows, Windows 2000 should be fine for Gigabit ethernet, as long as you have the hardware to support it. Use Service Pack 3. SP4 has been reported to be buggy and problematic. Windows 2000 is awesome when it comes to networkability. You could have a NIC card on a Windows 98 machine with no newer drivers available. You could then use the same NIC card with Windows 2000 and there'd be a good chance that it would have updated drivers. And I don't think it's because Windows 2000 is newer than 98. It's just that Windows 2000 was made for networking. NT's pretty old and I'm not sure it wouldn't be worth while to try to get drivers from a modern system and set it up. I'm not a big fan of XP, but it shouldn't have a problem supporting Gigabit Ethernet.
For best performance, check your motherboard manufacturer for the latest chipset drivers. Updatd chipset drivers work wonders on new boards.
Planning and implementation are sound but execution is flawed. That happens with alot of things. I don't think the suicide bombers are dumb, I just think that they don't know any better; at least not the religious ones. The religious ones are usually brainwashed at a young age. They're progrommed not to question; only to do. And being raised under an extremist religion, you can only imagine the punishment they would receive for questioning it.
Yeah but the problem is, people don't realize that privacy is not something that exists in all countries. The US is one of the few nations that actually honors it. And to give up privacy is both humiliating and implies self-incrimination for a crime that wasn't committed. If you're not doing anything wrong, then there's no reason to be monitored. It's called trust and human dignity. IMHO, if people are going to give up privacy, they might as well go to prison where there is none.
I don't see why this was modded as funny. You really do have to be careful what you say over the network nowadays. Surveillance is increasing. In the UK, for example, there are cameras everywhere. And Internet surveillance seems to be an increasing trend. Besides that, it's never a bad idea to watch your back.
When you're told that you need to train your replacement, tell them that you're going to after you take ALL of your paid vacations back to back. If it works, you'll literally be getting paid to look for a new job.
While many people might find it a waste of time, I do find the concept to be interesting from a cybernetic point of view. Of course, if the components could be smaller and more covert, and a camera connected to its eyes, that badger might be useful for surveillance, tracking and even spying.
Perhaps something like this could be done on a more intelligent being. It would be interesting to see AI and natural intelligence coexist in the same brain.
It takes more that transparent windows and pretty pictures to impress me. Make it smaller, simpler, faster and more efficient and I might taking a liking to it. Revert back to the classic Windows 95 interface and I might like it even more. Remove the web integration and give me the option to uninstall things I don't want, including Internet Explorer and I might just buy it.
It might be helpful in boring holes in mountains for trains to go through. It might be useful for making an underground path for a roller coaster that goes above and below ground.
At least Java has sandboxing. ActiveX had full, unrestricted control over your machine. It can execute without your knowledge or permission. It could easily transmit information about you or steal your information. And ANYBODY with enough knowledge could write it, including big time companies. Windows Update has been questioned despite the claim that no personal information is sent to MS.
Damn. What's up with all these asteroids in the last several years? There's been several close passes by these things. Is the asteroid belt giving throwing these things?

Perhaps I wasn't clear. TCP/IP as in remote access to the machine. Not PXE network boot.

I'm sure the tips could be modified. Even if they can't, it could be used to bore through large hills.

That won't do you much good. The technodrome is stuck in Dimension-X.
Disregard child and parent. I didn't see that someone else had already posted info about the 14th amendment.
