How about using a memory controller, separate to the DRAM sticks that does not write to the memory sequentially, instead it will hold a seed that changes on each power cycle that will randomly spread the writes and reciprocal reads across the DRAM space. Then even if you get the DRAM, you will also need this memory controller in order to do anything useful.
All it needs to do is interface the address bus on the DRAM to the system bus, when the system looks at address A the controller actually pulls up address Y, etc.
Think of it as encrypting the address bus, instead of the data.
If the seed is sufficiently large, the spread will be sufficiently random to thwart attack.
This would be cool for bumpers (I think some of the colonies call them fenders). You could park your car, shunt the other card out of the way and then apply your magnetic field and say "Nar it wasn't me, mate. Look, my car is OK. Must have been some other bloke".
We believe that this is wrong and unethical, as there are many legal uses for bittorrent. If an ISP is throttling or blocking bittorrent traffic, you can pretty much bet that they're tracking which users visit bittorrent-related sites so that they can better block or throttle those users."
This is really utter rubbish. It is perfectly ethical for an ISP to throttle this traffic that sits and leaches more bandwidth than is your fair share. DSL services, unless very premium, are shared services.
Also this tracking users visiting bittorrent sites is just daft. Why would tracking user's visits to such sites aid blocking or throttling at all when there are plenty of boxes that are quite easily able to detect torrent traffic and throttle it without having to go to the trouble of tracking peoples WWW activity.
ISPs throttle torrent traffic because their businesses are built on over-booking bandwidth. If you don't like that, then you'll be paying $70 per Mb/s per month at wholesale prices and not $50 for your 8Mb/s service.
And then they will tell there Amazon partiners and next time you check you're email you'll will get a recommendation about a book all about using the correct grammar for writing Englishings.
Next thing, you'll get phone calls offering you fasterinternetserviceprovidings...
What can be done about fast flux? ISPs and users should probe suspicious nodes and use intrusion detection systems; block TCP port 80 and UDP port 53; block access to mother ship and other controller machines when detected; "blackhole" DNS and BGP route-injection; and monitor DNS, the report says.
The bit about blocking TCP port 80 is troubling. I run a small web-site for learning purposes and to share info with family and friends. I don't especially like the possibility of having to ask or pay extra to have port 80 opened on my end.
What's wrong with asking for port 80 to be turned on? Does your email not work? Do you have a problem with your gob? Hell, they could even automate it on a web site asking for your username/password/mothers maiden name/name of first pet and you can do it there.
You silly lazy git.
You sure as hell shouldnt have to pay for it, but you don't like the possibility of asking? *sheesh*
..In other news Cylix, a Slashdot poster was found dead today outside his home. Police investigating suspect that theft was the motivation as his wallet was missing.
Various Internet companies today suspect that their domain names have been compromised. Blaming the new "secure" DNS system, companies are still unable to tell what the extent of this damage is.
Also in todays news:
Iran in massive cleanup operation after Israeli nuclear strike. Microsoft again found guilty of anti-trust violations. SCO share price collapses after serious fraud office investigation. British government standardize on Linux for all new IT deployments.
You gotta be joking! You'd last about 10 minutes, whenever you left the toilet seat up you'd be so wrapped up in litigation that you'd be lucky if you ever peed again!
I didn't bother with a degree and am now in a pretty good network engineering job, I have worked on some of the largest IP networks and traveled the world. But it all starts to get a bit sucky after a while and it's when it gets sucky that a degree could help.
When you get bored of bashing configs into Junipers, solving ISIS convergence problems, faffing about with stupid peers who break your peering sessions and dealing with idiots who know little then you'll need the degree to look good and do something more interesting instead.
Me, I'm going to go get a Theology degree soon and go do something more worthwhile than helping the world surf porn and download awfull mp3s.
So yeah go get the degree, I wish I did.

So they have 68 Million hits, they should put some Google ads on and make some $$. I bet they would have made more $$ from Google ads than they would have from their business anyway.
Seems that the real reason their sales are down is that they dont spot an opportunity when they see one.

Oh come on folks, somebody mod this funny!
He can not really be serious. You don't need to re-install to get rid of rootkits, you need to re-install just to make it work.
He should really get somebody else to write for him. I had to read this through a few times before I could read the awfull English he was using. Oh and Internet has a BIG I in it, dude.
Plus I think he's talking a load of bollocks.
*Sheesh*
Bollocks.
I use Slackware ina very production environment (Telecomms) where money counts and have never had a single failure or any issues whatsoever accountable to Slackware. Our RedHat servers often break and to fix them you either compile yourself and RedHat usually breaks or you call RedHat and get their official patches (for which you need to pay support).
I know what I'd rather be using.
A friend of mine said, when Windows 95 came out that "it'll knock the socks off Linux..." and it didn't. Then he said "This windows NT 4.0 will kill Linux" and it didn't. Then "XP is the Linux killer, mark my words. It's got built in security.." and look what happened. Need I go on? The MS buffs continually postition various MS OS releases as Linux killers, and they never are.
Why is this so?
Simply, it is because for a very large number of people, Linux just works damn well. It's flexiable, fast, secure and when things break, they usually get fixed pretty quick. It's the Un*x philosophy that makes it work so much better and that's a philosophy that no matter how much MS try to copy, will never quite be there in Windows. They may have a new swanky command line interface, but it'll simply not beat any Un*x shell or scripting language for getting stuff done.
Sure Vista will look pretty, but I bet itll still bork and need driver disks when you plug your USB thingy into a differant USB port..
In reality of course every OS sucks, but Linux sucks a lot less than any Windows release.
Oh and whilst you're at it, you can stick yer DRM up yer IPC$.
I thought that this was called Cybersquatting and was not allowed? It really is annoying, especially with.eu when suddenly everything you could ever wish to register has been "stolen" and companies are charging extortionarte fees to let you have them. This really must be just wrong?
So what happened to the cybersquatting rules whereby you could challenge a domain registration?
You can not choose where your traffic routes over the Internet, it's upto the individual networks to coose their own routing policy with their peers and transit providers.
So, even if you change ISP to say mister bob's DSL then he may use AT&T upstream or the dodgy pr0n site you visit may be somewhere just off of the AT&T network so your traffic will still pass through AT&T and therefore, if the claims are true, to the NSA.

Why would anybody want to live in space? Just live in a small London flat instead, it'll be pretty much the same.
You'll have no space to put anything, pizza will never get delivered and it'll cost a fortune and take ages to go out anywhere.
Now it just needs to be intergrated into a virus/worm the the whole windows world will be converted!

That'll be sure to get the team stats up!
Now, who do I call for a free demo?
And even more ROFL! That's not the busiest passenger airport by a stretch!
