Journal Journal: I HATE THIS!
A week or so ago I installed a customized XP on my computer, earlier this morning I got BSOD.
No way too boot it up at all, it's a notebook so options are limited for me. I could chose to reformat and forget about every customization or I could try and solve this problem. I have googled all day but found nothing that would help. I could use a livecd, backup the content to an external drive and then reinstall XP. If I do, is it possible to retrieve the content from the back, including the setting

Submission + - EU sues Sweden, demands ISP data retention (arstechnica.com) 2
Death Metal writes: "The EU passed the Data Retention Directive years ago, a law that demands ISPs and search engines hold onto data long enough to help the cops (but not long enough to cause privacy problems). But Sweden never passed it into national law, and the European Commission has now sued the country to make sure a bill appears."

You could always try and run for office, get people aware and engaged. Everyone uses the internet. remind them of Windows 98 and 56k.
It's like our civilization expands from dictatorships and tyranny into democratic countries and then right back to tyranny of some sort.

Submission + - Pirate Bay P2P Trial Begins in Sweden
An anonymous reader writes: The Pirate Bay's copyright infringement trial is now under way in Sweden, becoming one of the most watched P2P trials. The site is accused of helping users illegally downloaded movies, music, computer games, and more from its web site. If the site owners are convicted, they could spend two years in prison and a fine around $150,000. In addition, many of the leading companies in the motion picture industries are wanting an additional $14.3 million. The Pirate Bay is the world's largest source for BitTorrent trackers, while they do not host illegal content they do provide a means of finding such content. In May 2006 the company was raided by Swedish police who seized their servers and in January of last year the owners were charged with the copyright infringement.

Freedom of press is never a good thing :)
Oh, and we don't use satellite TV, we use something called INTERNET.
And most people can form their opinions themselves, we don't need media to do that. What media should do is not to take everything politicians say for the truth but as a clue to look into the issue, investigate and report their findings.
Obama all the way, baby!

Journal Journal: Is unsaved data from a nonresponive process = lost hope?
After several hours of work and about to give up for the day and save current work, the application became unresponsive but still up, not running though. Should I give up or try to save the data that hasn't been saved? How would I go about doing that? Can I dump the memory and restore it in another process? Or dump the memory and try to extract what different from the saved data? Or is it an easier way, other then spending more hours to redo it all?
Submission + - New From Microsoft: Data Centers in Tents (datacenterknowledge.com)
1sockchuck writes: "The outside-the-box thinking in data center design continues. Microsoft has tested running a rack of servers in a tent outside one of its data centers. In seven months of testing, a small group of servers ran for seven months without failures, even when water dripped on the rack. The experiment builds on Intel's recent research on air-side economizers in suggesting that servers may be sturdier than believed, leaving more room to save energy by optimizing cooling set points and other key environmental settings in the server room."
Feds Tighten DNS Security On .Gov 140
alphadogg writes "When you file your taxes online, you want to be sure that the Web site you visit — www.irs.gov — is operated by the Internal Revenue Service and not a scam artist. By the end of next year, you can be confident that every U.S. government Web page is being served up by the appropriate agency. That's because the feds have launched the largest-ever rollout of a new authentication mechanism for the Internet's DNS. All federal agencies are deploying DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) on the .gov top-level domain, and some expect that once that rollout is complete, banks and other businesses might be encouraged to follow suit for their sites. DNSSEC prevents hackers from hijacking Web traffic and redirecting it to bogus sites. The Internet standard prevents spoofing attacks by allowing Web sites to verify their domain names and corresponding IP addresses using digital signatures and public-key encryption."

Without fanfare, this bastion of the internet is being removed from the mainstream."
