"The most widely publicized security issue in.NET was W32.Donut, a virus that took control of the excecutable before the.NET runtime had control. Since the vulnerability occurs before the.NET runtime takes control, we consider this a problem with the way the operating system transfers control to.NET, not with the.NET platform"
Isn't the whole point with a VM that the executable will never be directly exposed to system resources? Why doesn't the same thing happen to JVM? As far as I can see, this reveals that the.NET system is having issues controling it's applications, which to me is a major security flaw.
In my opinion gaming is one of the most inproductive thing that people can do. And I think that the gaming industry is in fact contributing a lot to the decreasing knowledge of computing.
Some people argue that gaming helps young people learn about computers, but I see the opposite. It keeps people busy so that they don't explore the internal workings of their machine.
Why is this a bad thing? Because if they don't understand how a computer work they'll not understand why it should run on open standards. They will as all other gamers do, accept and accept how the gaming and software industry pushes more and more drm and other bad things on them.
I would say, if it was not for games, Linux would have had at least a 10% larger marketshare on desktops, because one of the most widely used excuses for not running Linux is that the win32 games don't work.
a maglev cycle? It would be fun to build one that levitates on a magnetic field. No wheels, no resistance, except air drag. can move in all directions.. How to power it is still left as a challenge, which I'd love to solve.
I stopped playing commercial games a few years ago. I switched everything to open source. What I think about this kind of copy protection is:
I don't actually care about this specific thing. But, things are still definitely going the wrong way. Computer users are being more and more considered criminals by default. Certain companies know excatcly how to take advantage of this.
By claiming that they will get rid of criminals or terrorists or whatever, they can do whatever they want to, including kill open source projects.
I'm personally against piracy, both because it's illegal, and because it also harms those who don't do illegal copying.
Java's strength is mostly it's cross platform compatibility. I have never really liked C++ very much. It seems complicated to write cross-platform code with C++. (Header troubles, and all OSes seems to have it's own implementation. Ie. try to compile Linux code on FreeBSD, and opposite) As a conservative coder I therefore prefer C, which is as fast as you (the coder) make it.
I guess they should consider doing something about the bluetooth system. It seems to be a serious security threat. Think about how bad things can happen and spread around without drawing anybosy's attention.
Sometime we'll probably be seing spy-worms around.
First, C is as fast as you program it to be. I generally consider C++ as bloated. Java as overkill and C# as one of the most dirty languages I have ever seen. (The error handling, for example). VB is not programming, and considering basic is at lot more ancient than C.
I think we have seen some corruption problems over the net. Somehow SOLARIS was switched out with the word 'FreeBSD'. So the real statement is 'SOLARIS is dead'.
Sun seems to have realized this, so they say that SOLARIS will be open sourced. Why not? Then we'll see where they (Sun) took the code.. or, oh wait..
What if they are so intelligent that they will find out that there is no use for them. And they'll eventually refuse to duplicated themseves. Let's at least hope they are not manically depressed too. Think about the radio messages they'll send then, and the receiver computers will probably commit suicide, unless they know how to/ignore.
I guess, on most operating systems, like Linux and *BSD. (I don't know about win*). It is best to clean the swap/swapfiles on startup, before running 'swapon' (FreeBSD), or anything similar to init the swap-partition/slice/file. Maybe we could also have a low priority thread that clears swapped out pages during run time and only run when there are no other processes that want the cpu time.

Not sure about the exact line between becoming sued and not, but it seems pretty clear to me that the original author still owns the work. But maybe you can get paid for the cd and possibly for creating it/buring too.

Usually you'll be able to find that information in dmesg

Syntax error: (F x (R x D + V)) + S) <-- Here

3. Profit!!!
Actually, there is a typo in the article:
Støter RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 og 50.
should be:
Støtter RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 og 50.
a maglev cycle?

Well, at least they don't write anything about C coding.. and I'm definitely not *addicted* to that.. */me goes back to coding*
Just blow a screw at an insane speed forward, and throw the garbage backwards. Oh wait.. and, don't use a too big screw.. or .. OOOPS!

Will this be considered doping in sports?
Well, they're not suing me at lest..
Oh wait...
Maybe the real point is that Java does more optimizing where the real problem is inefficient programming?

Just get PPL-A and have fun.
Get a life (AXA)! Google is just doing it's job. And google is not a marketplace.
