The number of people running Windows containers in production has to be tiny. I don't know anyone doing that. It's all Linux containers as far as the eye can see.

Why would you even run a Windows container? The only thing your are going to put into a container anyway is dotnet apps and Linux is already doing that.

The results of AI systems is dependent on the quality of the training data. When we find it misbehaving, we are just discovering new training data to make it better for next time.

One of my favorite go to comments is that one day we will have amazing self driving cars, they just need to make a billion mistakes first.

Now that the world is internet connected, it is less of an issue. You can quickly just download whatever you need. And Windows does have PowerShell. Before that, they had VBScript.

There is also the issue of once you see it, you can't unsee it.

How many of us were fine with normal TV until they saw HDTV. Or were fine with 96 bit mp3 files until someone pointed out where they sound hollow. CRT displays running at the 60mhz default because they had the wrong driver, until you could see the flicker. Or movies you first saw years ago but look awful rewatching them today.

I think once you learn how to spot CGI effects or get use to better CGI effects, then you are more susceptible to seeing the lower quality effects.

I fully expect that we will one day have an amazing self driving system, but it will have to screw up a million times to get there. So those mistakes do happen and they will continue to happen and systems will continue to improve because of them.

In IT we have access to everything and that means that our trust and integrity means everything. We will see things that are very personal, we will know things that are very sensitive, and people will trust us.

If they question our integrity, our trust worthiness, or even our respect for authority then we lose our value to the organization. Once they start to question that, then you won't be able to get it back.

But if you maintain high standards in IT and gain absolute trust from your coworkers and administration, then you can do some amazing things.

Your missing the point. If you have administrator rights, why even bother disabling EMET. Just uninstall it. Here is a quick exploit code for that:

Get-WmiObject Win32_Product | Where-Object{$_.Name -match "EMET"} | ForEach-Object{$_.Uninstall()}

If the attacker has admin rights then game over. Any other exploit after that is just smoke and mirrors.

I think people look at millage and make the wrong comparison. It's not about how many miles you get per gallon, it should be about how many dollars you spend per mile. My millage is not better, but I am spending less for the same amount of driving.

SCCM is a big package and there is a lot to configuring it. My guess is someone created a new collection that started with the "All Systems" group and screwed up the filter. The mistake they made was not checking the collection before they deployed.

I know you are joking, but it would not be a bad idea.

Lets say you add application virtualization, redirect files to the network, and roam user settings. It would be possible to reimage at will. Change our first question from "did you turn it off and back on again?" to "Did you redeploy the operating system yet?". If only it was that easy.

If I had to guess, the modem is holding onto the same IP address regardless of what you do with your router. Take a weekend trip and unplug your modem in hopes that it will pull a new address when you return. You could go upstream to your ISP with the issue and suggest the tech release your IP and assign you a new one.

If the attack continues, then you have something inside your network leaking information to the attacker. And you will have to clean that up before you can resolve the problem.

I think he was missing input validation from his list. The idea that you can never trust user input and you must validate it. The idea that you should white list what you want instead of black list the things you don't want. Ideas that consider the security of the system and not just the working condition of it.

The ads stand out way too much on the beta site. I tried it out and my first impression was that it was a site that I would not trust for the news. I thought it was all the ads on the site.

BUT then I went back to the main site and discovered that it was showing me more ads than the beta site. The main top ad was smaller on the beta site. I am not sure what to think. I don't like it because it feels like it is a ad driven site. Before it felt like it was about the content (it just so happened to have ads). Leaves a different impression.

If someone was expecting one of two outcomes, they could have done the math on both of them. If I make this trade what can I win. They placed the trade not knowing the outcome. But they had a cancel order (or reverse order) ready to go. If the news was not what they expected, they could have canceled it with minimal losses. Buying a lot of gold and the market doing nothing on the FED's news would mean that they could sell it back without much market shift.

I know this is what happened because I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
