What;s said is that some of those companies, (?most?) created incredible products that were ahead of it's time to some degree and it would be nice to see these companes as they disapear from the face of the earth release their works seeing as they will no longer profit from it.
Or at least, it would be nice if things were that simple:(
I'd love to get my hands on some of Wang's source code.
I've wondered how long it would be before a consultant somewhere said, 'you know, we should adapt or we risk dying', and this is what it is, finally a company with a financial interest in the matter is sitting down and trying to hash out an idea of how to make the new medium work for them.
I will probably go watch some ands and not hear the music (as it will probably require windows) just to show support for a company that is taking some initiative. I hope it makes them billions of dollars and all the other companies sit and wonder why they didn't think of it.
oddly enough i was just contacted by a recruiter from inl, as someone who typically doesnt drive- would getting to inl daily from idaho falls require a car or is there a bus? (even if it is 75-90 minutes long).
I'm a little apprehensive about it because im used to living in the city (boston, new york, la, phoenix, dallas and now vegas), but its a chance to work in one of the labs which would help me get someplace nicer like llnl or similar.
Basically, i'm caught between the geek in me that wants to work for the lab and the person in me who wants to live near things.
This basically means, 'dont piss us off because we have the patent, but so long as you are not terribly important to us we will remain indifferent'. It's not useless to them, its future ammo.
I have to agree with this comment completely. I've found myself in a similar boat, and in the long run I found all the various drugs just made me even more wacky and caused my mood swings to be incredibly more drastic and occur quicker, in the order of minutes quite often.
if you want to be pedantic, at least be correct. There is no 'elf magic' field in the ELF specification. There is however a 'e_ident', which is defined as an array of 16 unsigned character's. So doing a sizeof() on the array will return '16'. sizeof returns a size_t, which is defined as being the largest unsigned integer the platform supports.
The identifier is e_ident[0]: 0x7f, e_ident[1]: 0x45, e_ident[2]: 0x4c and e_ident[3]: 0x46. Endianess does not apply in this instance. Or phrase another way, if you have 0x4c467f45 then you don't have a (valid) ELF file or you're code is incorrectly accessing the structure.
Not that I have a problem with it, either. Wonders of globalisation in action... =)
I personally find it genius, I only wish I had thought of it first;] But agreed- we are witnessing the world in state of change as it grapples with the issues the interenet creates.
Seriously, 30 years ago the issue was that there was a face off between capitalism and socialism, around 20 years ago the debate was mostly settled with the fall of the Soviet Union- in its ashes a capitalist Russia arose.
Now we're angry because they do capitalism better? Seriously, maybe in another 20 years we will learn to applaud the ingeinuity of the Russian capitalist. I, for one, just gave them 20 USD.
I'm not at liberty to mention what the bug is specifically, but all these people suggesting absurd fixes (i.e. links and not attachments [what will this accomplish? If a user will click an attachment do you think they won't click a link??] or switching to OO [sorry its gimpy at best]), all of these people will find themselves feeling silly when they find out the source of the bug and realize that they can just disable that functionality.
im still going to buy one,. its not really brand loyalty, but rather since the ps1 they have continually pumped out games I truly enjoy. I hardly play games honestly, I haven't turned on my ps2 in almost a year.
So why spend 'that kind of money' for it? Simple. I'm paid well and I'm not cheap.
Here is the bottom line, the US Government does not keep its super secret UFO coverup evidence on an unclassified machine running remoteanywhere, sorry.
Sorry, but the post is wrong. The preposed rootkit by MS, and indeed every VM-based rootkit under x86 until virtualization support becomes more of a reality will be detectable. Basically, there are many instructions and data structures that are required by the OS that the architecture never anticipated needing to deal with two of them, for instance the interrupt descriptor table, or the global descriptor table.
I fail to see how it was 'thinking of kqemu, furthermore I fail to see how a front end to an emulator makes it akin to virtualization (thats all kqemu is, a front end)
Seriously, how did this make it on/.? The article is only a few paragraphs long, doesn't really even touch on hardware virtualization support or why its necessary (because virtualization currently sucks under 'normal' intel architecture). It even refers to qemu as virtualization, which its not, its an emulator. It mentions the program once then never touches on it again. It never explains why a person might want to use bochs or qemu even though its much slower than vmware/virtual pc. it doesn't touch on parallels or any other software out there.
Even more it doesn't even explain why the suggestions it makes are made. This article is basically a badly written advertisement for vmware or virtual pc.
you really should dump clamav, its performance is lacking, but thats just the tip of the iceberg. It routinely has bugs that allow remote compromises and even more it fails to detect probably something like 90% of malware I've thrown at it. I work as a reverse engineer and often instead of reversing a questionable binary i'll run it through AV in case its already known. Because all of the AV out there are of varying degree's of quality, I run it through aproximately 20 AV scanners, its not rare to find that kaspersky will detect it, but norton won't, mcafee misdetects it, and so on.
The one constant though is that clamav just routinely claims the file is fine, this is aproximately 85-90% of the time, don't take my word for it though, go download a bunch of various viruses and then run off to virustotal.com and check for yourself.
additionally, winux was written by Benny of 29a, a very talented coder with many POCs under his belt.
Selling an intrusion detection software company to a legitimate and prestigious security firm from an allied nation: Not OK.
Israel is one of those 'keep your friends close and your enemies closer' type of Allies. They maintain a very active intelligence program against the US. but, I'm not telling you anything that you couldn't learn from google
I had no idea! We're going to have stop using Snort immediately!
This almost happened where I work, but not because of open source, but because of regulations in the agency that forbids doing business with foreign countries/sensitive foreign countries.

there are logical set instructions and branch on various register value instructions, I'm sorry your mind is so simple.

Too bad the americans never conquered germany huh.

(they're rarely the bottle neck because they have specialized hardware for the task)
haha, come to phoenix.

To be fair, using goto *can* be an unclean way for optimizing your code.

kqemu is also the name of a kde front-end ;]
