No, I wasn't running AutoCAD or anything like that (frankly, I don't remember the name of the software I was running). I did have a Matrox card at one point though; at the time it was a several hundred $ card. I'm not sure nVidia even HAD the Quadro at the time? I <THINK> this was around...

So are we talking first computer, first built computer, or first gaming computer? I can't say I've ever had a rig built with gaming in mind; honestly, I've tended toward consoles for my gaming needs. That being said, I've always had a taste for esoteric hardware and configs, so even though...

Ah, I remember the Connor drives. Nice product before Seagate bought them. I also had some CDC Wren drives at one point; those things were also great drives before Seagate bought them.

I don't think paying more money for a game translates to making better games. Let me put that another way: just because a developer gets more money for a game doesn't necessarily mean they will make a better game. Making games is like any other business, and business exists for the purpose of...

Hey loggfreak! Glad to have you join us! You might have missed it but I had pretty well already covered that in a previous post in this thread. However, it's good to have another viewpoint that matches mine, LOL.

Generically speaking, it is impossible to 'detect' if some random program is 'stuck'. By definition, 'stuck' means 'not operating correctly'. If I give you a list of 100 executables, how are you going to determine if they are not operating correctly? Doing so implies some knowledge of the...

You're being awfully accommodating lately. Mellowing in your old age? :D

This attack doesn't focus on Linux, indeed it doesn't care WHAT operating system you are using, and in most cases it doesn't even matter which PROCESSOR. Pretty much ANY MODERN processor is vulnerable, regardless of what operating system they are running. There's another attack called...

Wow. A lot in one post. I'll break it into pieces. In any criminal activity, one should naturally blame the criminal, if one seeks justice. That being said, we have to deal with reality, and reality is that if you leave your doors unlocked, you VASTLY increase the likelihood of being robbed...

Be careful, because you are conflating separate and unrelated issues. The DNC hack and the hack on Hillary's e-mail server are quite probably the result of Russian hackers, based on everything I've been reading. Those are HACKS, not DDOS attacks. Completely different animal. A HACK is an...

Any local privilege escalation can be turned into a remote one by simply finding a web application that can be compromised, or a SQL injection vulnerability. And saying that the bug has been unpatched for nine years is misleading. That the bug has EXISTED for nine years is indisputable, but in...

True enough, but it sure seems like the Republican party have sunk to new lows. I hope this election forces a severe re-examination.

This is currently a non-trivial attack to implement and requires the attacker to already have the ability to run applications on the local machine. Coupled with a web server compromise or a SQL injection attack, however, it could conceivably be used as a privilege escalation attack. The basic...

Allah, Jhvh, Zeus, Odin, heck I'll even throw in Pan and Diana!

So, you've got an active bass? How do you like it as opposed to a passive bass?

The CONCEPT can have some value, but the IMPLEMENTATION almost universally stinks from a security perspective. Both my TVs, my DVR, and my DVD player have and internet connection, but they are also behind 2 routers and a firewall, have had their default passwords changed, and can only be...

.....or you could just right-click and select "Make bootable USB". LOL. I'm so used to doing things the old way that sometimes I can't see the forest for the trees. :rolling:

I've not had a need to make a bootable USB flash drive, but have you tried using a tool like RUFUS?

I ended up buying their 2nd album. I'm trying to decide if I want to buy 2Cellos album or not.

I would LOVE to have the chance to just jam with them (along with a million other people, no doubt). Avi Kaplan does some really neat stuff with the low end. Here's another video, but this is is pure vocals, no "gimmick" sounds:
