  1. Re:huh? on NTP Pool Reaches 1000 Servers, Needs More · · Score: 0
    Hey, you're right! I was late for a job interview because I set windows to use time.windows.com, which is the default in the windows date/time properties applet. I'm not sure if it was the fault of the server or windows, but I lost all trust in network time because of windoze.

    to quote: http://vx.netlux.org/lib/aes03.html

    Dr. Cohen defined the term to mean a security problem that attaches itself to other code and turns it into something that produces viruses; to quote from his paper: "We define a computer `virus' as a program that can infect other programs by modifying them to include a possibly evolved copy of itself." He claimed the first computer virus was "born" on November 3, 1983, written by himself for a security seminar course. (That the Internet Worm was unleased on the eve of the 5th anniversary of this event was coincidence of a most amazing sort.) Actual computer viruses were being written by individuals before Cohen, although not named such, as early as 1980 on Apple II computers.[9] The first few viruses were not circulated outside of a small population, with the notable exception of the "Elk Cloner" virus for Apple II computers, released in 1981.
  4. HERES THE FIX on Microsoft .NET Patch May Make PCs Go "Haywire" · · Score: -1

    http://blogs.msdn.com/davidnotario/archive/2005/04 /27/412838.aspx What is mscorsvw.exe and why is it eating up my CPU? What is this new CLR Optimization Service? Short version: mscorsvw.exe is precompiling .NET assemblies in the background. Once it's done, it will go away. Typically, after you install the .NET Redist, it will be done with the high priority assemblies in 5 to 10 minutes and then will wait until your computer is idle to process the low priority assemblies. Once it does that it will shutdown and you won't see mscorsvw.exe. One important thing is that while you may see 100% CPU usage, the compilation happens in a process with low priority, so it tries not to steal the CPU for other stuff you are doing. Once everything is compiled, assemblies will now be able to share pages across different processes and warm start up will be typically much faster, so we're not throwing away your cycles. If you are really want to get rid of mscorsvw.exe from your task manager, just do: ngen.exe executequeueditems This begs the question, where is ngen.exe? I can't find it anywhere other than my Windows XP Server 2003 install.

  5. rss to proxy on Feedburner Sale to Google Confirmed · · Score: -1

    Dude, there's still stuff to do. An idea I had was to build an rss proxy and put it into the http protocol, where I can use my favorite desktop feed reader, and not have to leave my computer on 24/7 just to ensure I don't miss a post for feeds where they expire very quickly. What if you are a researcher and don't want the latest news anyway? You want the oldest news and want to read back in time for an rss feed? Google reader is nice, but I don't like how it locks me into the browser. That doesn't logical especially since I am a rabid fan of gmail, but I think it could be a good niche.

    Dude, you are a goddamned idiot. Crawl back under that bridge you came from you troll. That very article says this: An example of a company that garnered monopoly power is the case of Microsoft. In 2000, in an antitrust lawsuit brought against Microsoft, a U.S. federal court judge ruled against the company. Microsoft, a computer company, had established first MS-DOS and later Windows as the dominating operating system for personal computers. Once it had achieved a position of strength in the market, would-be competitors faced insurmountable hurdles. Software developers face large costs for every additional operating system to which they adapt their applications. Because Microsoft had the dominant operating system, any rival personal computer operating system would have only a handful of applications, compared to tens of thousands of applications for Microsoft's Windows system. This applications barrier to entry gave Microsoft enduring monopoly power. The judge's ruling in the case made it clear that, besides being illegal, Microsoft's monopoly was not in the public interest and legal measures would be put into place in order to break the monopoly that Microsoft had created.

    The GPL version 3 is basically to get google to give out their changes; isn't that what stallman referred to when he talked about web services providers (eg google) using a customized Linux?
