maybe you don't understand. Digital restrictions management was the original planned name for that which you know as "digital rights management". They just wanted the name to be more of an oxymoron.
Hey, remind me of something: what are you talking about? It's not like network administrators have a magic "prevent DDOS" button.
DDOS's can take a couple hours to be noticed and a couple more to fix, and that's if it's something simple. They come in a variety of shapes and forms. If it's more complex, it won't be as easy as just turning off a port or access to something or IP filtering.
As an example, did you ever think that it's entirely possible that ubisoft DDOS'd themselves with their connection checking?
either way, it hopefully will teach people why you don't buy DRM'd games, even if the game sounds potentially good (which assassin's creed 2 does not - they didn't fix lots of crap from the original)
Actually computers usually have some kind of leak, but 250MB isn't really that bad all by itself. It depends on the machine. Firefox if left open notably leaks way more than svchost, actually.
What's a gig when I have 12gigs of ram? Hell, I don't even care. What's a gig when I have 2 gigs of ram? Different story.
Filetables can get corrupted while the computer is running. People do have to reboot on windows constantly due to security updates and other things. When you reboot if the file table gets corrupted you'll find out when it doesn't boot to windows.
Meanwhile, not rebooting on windows will get svchost leaks over time. you can't shut down svchost either, not unless you want a forced system reboot or other instabilities.
What does it take to get a filetable corrupted? Hell if I know. Note: that is not filetable crashing.
I'm quite sure that people who own websites that their robots.txt is being ignored by a crawler are going to express that in quite hostile ways, in comparison.
don't worry. They're going to break a lot of laws, break a lot of legs, and basically commit suicide. At least when it's through we'll have less dinosaur industries to deal with.
They're literally planning to go to domain providers and threaten DMCA to get content taken down. Instead of, you know, DMCA'ing the website appropriately this is an end run around the legal process. Expect a quick smackdown. Why they would host such a company in California of all places to do this, where cali is the most clear about how 3rd parties are not liable.
I guess you didn't read what I said. I take it reading comprehension for you runs a little weak?
I never said it was corrupted by hibernate. I'm saying it gets corrupted while your OS is still running. Thus, by the time you eventually reboot (as people do reboot their pc's, even windows updates require it, it's already corrupt and won't start back up.
Bingo. networking 101: never use file shares for anything that ends up being a significant amount of file transfer activity.
if simple jeff isn't a computer guy, I find it understandable to make that mistake. If they are a computer guy, they need to go back to school for networking 101.
client-server applications, aka servers, exist for a reason.
you make it sound like vendors don't want to be supported by MS. In reality have you looked at how long it takes MS to approve patches? Can you imagine how long it would take them to approve 50 times the amount of software patches?
Yes, it could clean up their code, find errors, etc. But really MS takes a long time to update things. I'm not going to bother throwing the 17 year patch fixes, but in reality things don't get fixed in 3-6mos.
there are reasons not to do that on windows. It's not like linux, where that's expected and/or you won't have your filetable crash.
Windows you have a known memory leaks in parts of svchost, so if you keep that thing up for a week you'll see it taking up anywhere from 250mb to more than a gig. This occurs in all versions of windows from XP to 7, 64 bit and 32 all the same
Reboots to your PC on windows don't affect the lifetime of your hardware, although if your MFT was corrupt prior to reboot you're just as screwed after.
Ergo, shutdown/hibernate/basically ensure your computer/laptop is not being powered when you're not going to use it.
and the only thing it lacks is that all of this is basically impossible under FIPS 140-2 on level 4 products. Notice how it talks about voltage sensitivity. Meanwhile FIPS 140-3 is on it's way, and from level 4 on involves this.
I myself don't know how widespread using level 1-3 devices is, however.
how did the Novell patent deal not affect Linux? color me confused. If novell creates stuff in linux that is covered under the patent agreement (as it encapsulates everything under the sun), how is that not affected?
yeah, basically all those motions you hear of countries leaving MS? Some of them actually do it. Many just go through the motions to get a discount. You can always tell.
My work was all "We're pro firefox, pro open source, lets get openoffice working for our international purposes and also get rid of our lotus notes dependence and get set to move to linux".
Suddenly it's "lets get windows 7 and IE!". It's clear my work thought it was a prudent business decision to take the short term decisino.
so you're too busy to read my post but you just read it? good job sir. I assume you meant for your post to be anonymous? If not, your sarcasm is pretty weak.
well I do apologize if using the phrase BS insulted you or was considered an expletive. If it did, that was inappropriate and I do apologize. I do not intend to be ad hominem, even if I disagree with your statements.
Lack of low hanging fruit? I'd say not at all. I was hoping I wouldn't have to mention by the way, that the CPA is also a CFA, and also does risk analysis. A separate family member is risk analysis only and I don't even know what certs they have. Most people do tend to go for a CFA after a CPA if they aren't stupid. I can tell you are knowledgeable about accounting, but wow. I hoped you would figure that part out from the relations - I am not trying to pull some sort of elitism or "holier than thou", I'm just saying I do tend to try to verify information before I make some sort of statement.
Yes, cash rich does not mean capital asset rich. However, novell is not a LP, so you know, they have a ton of capital assets. I'm not saying they're doing gloriously, but they're not exactly nearing bankruptcy as a company either right now.
However, that part about hedges being unable to flip? BS. It still happens, still exists, and is still legal on the books. So I don't know where you make your shit up. But what do I know? Family members are CPAs and others are risk analysis and confirmed it's still common. It'll be unable to be done when people are unable to cook the books, which last time I checked, still goes on constantly and in many ways via strategic acquisitions.
Yes, there are ways they can take over the company anyway, but they have not positioned themselves accordingly in this case.
The timing for this being so close to the SCO vs Novell case is no accident.

How are they going to identify them? Pirates have disabled any online connection to ubisoft and/or the drm server.

I really fail to see significance here. It'll be on android soon, the difference is people will probably do it themselves.
meanwhile, apple's starting to go very short term business strategy. I think they're more screwed than people know right now.
hey, let's try that again.
re: 250MB Svchost:
and then we have
desktop window manager is DWM.exe, you goof. It has nothing to do with the calls svchost makes in any form. 0 of it is the desktop window manager.

yeah, it is different. You only run the updater for one product.
You run one for every single thing on your pc unless you use one a software manager and you still have to run downloads/etc when that comes around.
An ubuntu trivial fix will be trivial in space. Meanwhile a non-trivial fix will still only take you 1 update process.
Well, there are things missing in other distros due to legal concerns, but otherwise I can't imagine what there would be.
and the only thing it lacks is that all of this is basically impossible under FIPS 140-2 on level 4 products. Notice how it talks about voltage sensitivity. Meanwhile FIPS 140-3 is on it's way, and from level 4 on involves this.

I just wanted to pose a stupid question based on my presumptions so I could get some answers.
I think your problem is the wording. Novell is not linux. Novell is a flavor of linux. Therefore the issue and your question are not the same.
I misread that as lawyer. I guess it must be about as active as any other seagull movie.
how did the Novell patent deal not affect Linux? color me confused. If novell creates stuff in linux that is covered under the patent agreement (as it encapsulates everything under the sun), how is that not affected?

quit wastin my time dude. shouldn't you be busy doing arpaio's work down in arizona?
so you're too busy to read my post but you just read it? good job sir. I assume you meant for your post to be anonymous? If not, your sarcasm is pretty weak.
well I do apologize if using the phrase BS insulted you or was considered an expletive. If it did, that was inappropriate and I do apologize. I do not intend to be ad hominem, even if I disagree with your statements.
Simmons (bedding) declared bankruptcy less than 6 months ago. They were flipped. Care to go read the DNB on them? I don't know if I'd call that a lack of low hanging fruit, even by any stretch. Remind me if it was a hedge or not? Oh right, here - http://www.newser.com/story/70949/simmons-bankruptcy-study-in-private-equity-run-amok.html
