I understand what your saying. Thanx for the detailed explanation, I really appreciate it!
I guess the halfword instructions in this case would actually retrieve a full word of storage and then just cut off the last 2 bytes? (Which explains why half word instructions are typically slower then full word instructions?) It sounds cool, but wouldn't this cause some nightmere's for 64 bit? Would you _have_ to retrieve a double word now? Or would it be the same with maybe another addressing bit?
Umm, NO! I've never heard of "Nimba" I've heard of "nimDa" though! Look at it backwards "Admin".. Many, many, virus use the Traverse directory hack for IIS. Too bad it was patched in 1999.. IMHO it is pointless to even encode this type of attack now-a-days, everyone who cares is patched.. 5 years is a LONG time to go without attempting any patches on a webserver!
You are correct, although I don't understand how you could have one address per full word of storage? Don't you need to address every byte? I'd like to read more information on this if you have any links available? Thanks!
(On a mainframe it's actually on 2Gb addressability with 32 bit, because of 24 bit, the first bit is an "address mode" bit, so it's actually only capable of a max 31 bit addresses..). I have no idea if x86 would work the same way?
I just thought "STACKER'S BACK" when I read this!! haha! Seriously, want to double your space? Install Stacker!! Ahhh, how I long for the DOS days! Stacker worked at expanding your HD too, if you didn't need your data all that much cuz it would corrupt all the time, and it was slower access due to everything on HD being compressed, and it would take up RAM because it was running all the time (not a big deal today though!)..
Other ISP's have been doing this for a while. Rogers Communications [rogers.com] has been doing this for a while in Canada, I know of a few friends that actually had their service cut after 2 warning emails.
No it's not, that's some bozo trying to "root" your machine. That's a traverse directory attack they are attempting. It happens all day, every day, and it's NOT what Comcast is going after. Webserver logs show you who is trying to connect to your WEBSITE, it has NOTHING to do with SPAM. If you want to see who these bozo's are just look at the header of your spam email and do a TRACERT (or TRACERTE) to there IP address and see if it's a Comcast subnet (or names resolve...). It may be a cheap virus, it may be some hackers scanning tool, but most Comcast customers are not running old versions of IIS (which is what they are trying to infect by the weblog you posted.).. Check out the Security Focus website for more information..
You make some good points.. VSAT users should pay attention, as I've had it out with some VSAT tech's before. Many VSAT networks DO NOT properly support ICMP protocol. They say it is too much of a burden on there network. If you want true IP, stay away from Satellite internet access!!!
You were correct, it's 16 exabytes. I was wrong it doesn't quite max it out..:) Thanks for the correction.. I just thought 31 bit = 2 GB in my head so I took a stab... The PSW can address all 64 bits in z/OS so technically the max number is possible, if only in virtual...
[For other/.ers who are curious on what addressing this kind of RAM would take] Here is some good information on the 64 bit mainframe and 64 bit addressability:
Google?! Are you serious? Anyways, they have nothing on really big search engines.. Think "American Express" think "Visanet [aka Vital]" think "Mastercard", now THEY have some quick lookups!! And they are _SLOW_ compared to what the Pentagon, the DOD have, etc.. Google is a toy.
And here everyone thought 64 bit would only be used ONLY in virtual!! Wow! I wonder if it's running on "Big Iron", since T-Rex might be the only monster that could handle the load. (z990 from IBM [ os = z/OS]). They also are using FICON which seems kinda dated for the technology I'd like to see more on the switching capability. I wonder how many CPU's she's running?

How about:
Windows was built from the ground work of DOS, Linux was built from Unix?
Windows is commerical driven closed source software. Linux is the opposite..
Windows comes in different "versions" and "service packs", Linux comes in different "flavours" (Okay, Linux comes in different versions too..)
And of course: Billy G vs. Linus...
RE: Your tag:

autoexec.bat should go into the root directory, not the windows directory

Yeah and Canada has very strict marihuana laws..
It was a JOKE dude, relax!
It depends on your OS.

tracert = Windows, DOS
tracerte = os/390, z/OS
traceroute = Unix (some flavours)

Why exactly would a zombie spoof it's return address?!!?! That would be kind of useless! Zombie's don't care if you know who they are.
Who cares if they know who the innocent "perps" are? You really want your mom arrested because her computer was unwittingly taken over??

Isn't this going to make it easier for spammers to target cellphones?
"My web server has 6 megs of RAM." Umm, I'll donate you $10 so you can upgrade!
Umm, NO! I've never heard of "Nimba" I've heard of "nimDa" though! Look at it backwards "Admin".. Many, many, virus use the Traverse directory hack for IIS. Too bad it was patched in 1999..

Still Nimda wasn't meant as a spammers tool..
Also, what does codered mean??

You don't format RAM. Cut power and it's:
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
again... Your thinking of hard drives..
Dude, if power goes out your ram goes to:
