Microsoft’s recent move to disband the Expression Studio suite, and discontinue some of its component products, is the latest example of a retrenchment that is returning the Developer Division (DevDiv) to its roots. Understanding that history will help make sense of the last couple of years of DevDiv moves, whether you think they make sense or not. Apple blocked Adobe’s Flash, took Silverlight down with it... and put DevDiv back on track.

Russian firm ElcomSoft on Thursday announced the release of Elcomsoft Forensic Disk Decryptor (EFDD), a new forensic tool that can reportedly access information stored in disks and volumes encrypted with desktop and portable versions of BitLocker, PGP, and TrueCrypt. EFDD will still set you back a solid $299. EFDD offers access to encrypted information either by completely decrypting everything or by doing so for individual files in real time. You can choose to either decrypt all files and folders stored in the cryptographic container (full, unrestricted forensic access to all stored information) or mount the encrypted volume as new drive letter for instant access (information is decrypted on-the-fly). This $299 tool makes your disk encryption obsolete.

All is not doom and gloom - the program still has to acquire Encryption Keys, as they say on their website, by one of 3 methods....
By analyzing the hibernation file (if the PC being analyzed is turned off);
By analyzing a memory dump file
By performing a FireWire attack (PC being analyzed must be running with encrypted volumes mounted).

I guess following the best practices on TrueCrypt website (disable hibernation & sleep), and disabling the firewire in BIOS, combined with a panic button to purge RAM should be sufficient

All MacOSes, between 10.0.0 and newest 10.8.2, all iOSes since 1.0 through 6.0.1, XCode since 1.2 till newest 4.5, and more. Kernel, drivers, graphic routines, I/O, everything. And, a set of reference documentation (e.g. how to write kernel modules).

This has been going on for several years now. I was in high school at the age of 16, and it was online then. So, ooooooolllllllllldddddddd news.

Sooo... a virus recipe book?

Could say the same for Linux. Neither Linux nor Macintosh seem to have many viruses.

Microsoft has announced that the Expression suite of design tools is no more. It has been removed from sale immediately and it has been placed on a maintenance only status until it reaches its end of life. However it's not all bad news...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Expression Blend will be integrated into Visual Studio.

...What was one of the most interesting things I learned during this project was using different algorithms and seeing how they affected performance. The biggest performance boost I got was from switching from Insertion Sort to Heap sort when sorting data points by date...

This one has been on my todo pile for a while, so as long as I am in ranting mode, I might as well get this off of my chest. It is a problem that is highly prevalent on many game developer forums, and especially so on one I often frequent, GameDev.net. Often, people will ask the question: "What should I do about college, is a game degree right for me?"

get both degrees..Will Not require much more effort.If you have spare cells then learn accounting also as only that will last much longer.
|
|

Definitely get a computer science degree (preferably from a reputable University). I think game development is becoming like becoming an actor in Hollywood. Lots of people go to Hollywood hoping to make it big, but only a few actually make it big. Computer science is a broad field, keep all your options open.

Work began on the Hurd, the true kernel of the GNU operating system, in May 1991, but it has yet to materialise as a production-ready kernel. Richard Hillesley tells the story…

Nice review. When Linux had got dynamically pluggable modules, that is long ago, HURD had lost its single advantage. Since it was equally possible not to make modules pluggable, Linux was more flexible and had, even theoretically, better performance. No wonder nobody wanted HURD, a solution in search for a problem.
The only real difference between Linux and HURD is that HURD makes it easier for everybody to be a kernel hacker - something the process of Linux kernel development have proven to be fatal. Mr. Stollman thought that loosely organized crowds can do everything and was wrong. Linux has one digit percent penetration on the desktop just because the quality bar for poorly organized crowds in not too high. Mr. Stallman thought that what looks like a better design actually is a better design and was wrong. An experimental proof is always necessary. Finally, Mr. Stallman wanted GNU/Linux revealing his zero understanding of the idea of a trade mark. Tools have no right to claim products, if he was blinded by his ideas enough not to see that, no wonder Linus provided developers with better toys.

Quote: The Register
There’s a kind of cognitive dissonance in most people who’ve moved from the academic study of computer science to a job as a real-world software developer. The conflict lies in the fact that, whereas nearly every sample program in every textbook is a perfect and well-thought-out specimen, virtually no software out in the wild is, and this is rarely acknowledged.
