DaemonFC"MS has traced the Duqu zero-day to a vulnerability in font parsing in win32k. Many file formats like HTML, Office, and PDF support embedded fonts, and in NT4 and later fonts are parsed in kernel mode!"Nov 06 00:45
DaemonFCwould you expect anything less from Microsoft?Nov 06 00:45
DaemonFCit probably was done that way because parsing fonts in the kernel was significantly faster with slow mid-90s processorsNov 06 00:47
DaemonFCIn the 90s, Microsoft was trying to pack everything they could into kernel mode to make it a bit fasterNov 06 00:47
DaemonFCNow, they're trying to get everything they put there back out into user space because it opened up literally thousands of exploits that wouldn't have been possible otherwiseNov 06 00:48

msb__Someone I was talking with recently fixed their audio problems by getting rid of pulseaudio and using alsa.  I don't remember the details.  The person helping said that pulseaudio frequently causes difficulties.Nov 06 09:49
oiaohmmsb__: Yep I deal with a few people running windows applications in wine where that is the only option.Nov 06 09:50
oiaohmWine requirement for highly correct timing and sending half done stuff older pulseaudio versions don't like.Nov 06 09:50
oiaohmmsb__: also going to get interesting with alsa providing information to access raw alsa that pulseaudio cannot delete either.Nov 06 09:53
msb__With alsa I can't use TV sound (Line input) to record a TV show on disk using mencoder, and microphone sound (Mic input) to talk via VOIP -- IHU -- at the same time.Nov 06 09:54
oiaohmmsb__: not always trueNov 06 09:56
oiaohmThat does come down to alsa config and hardware.Nov 06 09:57
msb__But my sound chip has 3 input channels, so it might be possible if I understood the alsa API and was able to select a channel properly in mencoder, and a different one in IHU (which might require a little hacking to get more audio menu options).Nov 06 09:57
msb__Anyhow, with pulseaudio I wasn't able to get either to work.Nov 06 09:58
oiaohmmsb__: sometimes is really horid with alsa such as creating virtual sound cards.Nov 06 10:01
oiaohmSo the locking ends up split.Nov 06 10:01
oiaohmmsb__: Yes doing that really needs to be made simpler.Nov 06 10:01
msb__oiaohm: I've never even heard of virtual sound cards or locking -- way over my head.Nov 06 10:02
oiaohmmsb__: alsa supports taking a single sound card.  And making like line in and line out and mic and speaker  respond to OS as if they are on two different sound cards.Nov 06 10:03
msb__The guy leading the Trinity Desktop (KDE3) project favors alsa.Nov 06 10:03
oiaohmBut doing it requires knowing your way around asound.confNov 06 10:04
oiaohmIe something like that should be simple.Nov 06 10:04

msb__oiaohm: Why not?Nov 06 10:05
msb__oiaohm: I am very naive in this area.Nov 06 10:05
oiaohmIt splits the mixer controls.   msb__Nov 06 10:06
msb__oiaohm: What's the good of that?Nov 06 10:06
oiaohmThink about it 2 applications using the same sound card.Nov 06 10:07
oiaohmOne adjust volume it can stuff the other up.Nov 06 10:07
oiaohmWhen they are split as two cards.Nov 06 10:07
oiaohmTrue independant controlNov 06 10:07
msb__Ah, yes, I've encountered that.  xmms and mplayer volume controls interact with each other.Nov 06 10:08
oiaohmNow think you are now running a sound out to speakers and line in for a background feed and a mic.Nov 06 10:09
oiaohmLast thing you want is mixed up volume controls.Nov 06 10:09
oiaohmmsb__: Yes I have done audio desks using Linux.Nov 06 10:09
oiaohmSo I most likely know too much the Linux audio stack can be got do.Nov 06 10:12
msb__oiaohm: Can you point me to a manual that explains this and tells me what system or library calls to make (in C) to access the various input channels of alsa and my audio chip separately?Nov 06 10:13
msb__Running two or more apps that produce sound seems to be no problem.  I can play mp3s while talking on voip and it all comes through the speakers ok.Nov 06 10:14
oiaohmUmmNov 06 10:15
oiaohmyou are not going to like the next answer.Nov 06 10:16
oiaohmRead the source of alsa lib.Nov 06 10:16

msb__Let's hear it for creativity in torture methods!Nov 06 11:54
oiaohmAt least when people do get out of china torture and get away they still can walk and otherwise function.Nov 06 11:55
oiaohmAnd if the system was stop some time in future the people are still alive to be freed.Nov 06 11:56
msb__And they love Big Brother!Nov 06 11:56
oiaohmReally there are asian countries near china that a lot of people mix up on.Nov 06 11:57
oiaohmworse they are meant to be democaries.Nov 06 11:57
msb__However, since they believe that 2+2=5, they are not able to do accounting work.Nov 06 11:57
oiaohmAnd some of those countries have the ones of people being physically bound to there work areas.  msb__Nov 06 11:58
oiaohmand some cases not being feed proper food either.Nov 06 11:58
oiaohmYes even that the re-education people are being touchered in nasty ways they are still proper feed.Nov 06 11:58
msb__That's important when the time comes to cut them up and sell their organs.Nov 06 11:59
oiaohmThat is one of the interesting things in china.Nov 06 12:00
oiaohmIt don't happen.Nov 06 12:00
oiaohmDoctors does not like the punishment for it.Nov 06 12:00
oiaohmYou get caught cutting up someone and selling there organs.  You will be cut up alive and without pain killers of any form.Nov 06 12:01
oiaohmBasically you have a higher risk in most westen countries of being cut up for organs than in china.Nov 06 12:02
oiaohmOf course this is not true for some of the near by countries.Nov 06 12:02
oiaohmCan you see what I am getting about with china there are more ways to be legally killed than any other country.  msb__Nov 06 12:03
oiaohmFunny part is very few people are legally killed per year compared to the USA.Nov 06 12:03
MinceRoiaohm: it's enough if your central nervous system disregards pain signals as noiseNov 06 12:04
MinceR131251 < msb__> However, since they believe that 2+2=5, they are not able to do accounting work.Nov 06 12:05

oiaohmMinceR:  shaolin monks do that to themselves as part of there training.  So that constian pain is only paid attention to.Nov 06 12:05
oiaohmMinceR: Ie pulse right freq worst damage you end up just like a Shaolin monk that the china class as normal.Nov 06 12:06
oiaohmMinceR: but it takes years for the brain to learn to disreguard.Nov 06 12:06
oiaohmmsb__: by the way bad accounting numbers can also equal death in china.Nov 06 12:07
oiaohmmsb__: ie 2+2+5 in books could equal attempting to cook books so dead.Nov 06 12:07
oiaohmOpps 2+2=5Nov 06 12:08
oiaohmYes I really wonder how long heads of USA business would last if they had to operate by china laws of business for a while.Nov 06 12:08
oiaohmA cases like enron or the recent ninga loans in china you would have seen the executioners very busy.Nov 06 12:10
msb__So how did all that melamine get into food exports from China, and the ethylene glycol mixed into the glycerine that killed thousands of children?Nov 06 12:10
oiaohmmsb__: Little nasty fact about china law.Nov 06 12:11
msb__Do tell.Nov 06 12:11
oiaohmI export I kill oversea people I am guilt of nothing.Nov 06 12:11
msb__!!!!!!!Nov 06 12:12
oiaohmThe cases of melamine and glycerine harming people inside china saw a few people facing death row.Nov 06 12:12
oiaohmThe exported cases by china law no one was gulity.Nov 06 12:13
oiaohmCountries importing from china should be aware of this.   So should do heavy quality control on what they get.Nov 06 12:14
oiaohmmsb__: any particular reason why the law is oddly this way.Nov 06 12:14
oiaohmFunny enough a cannon ball is a export when it fired from a cannon to another ship.  msb__Nov 06 12:15
msb__Maybe Chinese law is based on the Talmud.Nov 06 12:15
oiaohmThis is a oddity of Zen.  msb__Nov 06 12:16
msb__What?  Where is the connection with Zen?Nov 06 12:17
oiaohmChina was ruled by Zen Buddists at one time.  msb__Nov 06 12:17
oiaohmThere are still some very strange sections in there laws because of it.Nov 06 12:18
msb__Did Zen Buddhists say it's ok to kill anyone who isn't Chinese?Nov 06 12:18
oiaohmNoNov 06 12:18
oiaohmBut importer is responsable to check quality of goods.Nov 06 12:18
oiaohmNot exporter.Nov 06 12:19
msb__So it's ok for exporter to lie, cheat and kill if he can get away with it?Nov 06 12:19
oiaohmAs long as it not breach of agreement yep.Nov 06 12:19
oiaohmIe if you forgot to put in agreement that product has to be free of comtamination that is your problem as the importer.Nov 06 12:20
msb__And if exporter forgets to put into agreement that if importer is in a bad mood he cannot blow exporter's brains out, then too bad for him?Nov 06 12:22
oiaohmNo that would be direct volicenceNov 06 12:22
msb__But lethal poisoning is OK?Nov 06 12:23
oiaohmBecause you should check if food is poisoned or other ways bad.Nov 06 12:23
oiaohmSo you have a fair chance of not killing yourself.Nov 06 12:23
msb__I swear this is the best IRC channel.  Now I am learning contract law!Nov 06 12:23
msb__But many poisons are undetectible, likewise deadly viruses.Nov 06 12:24
oiaohmThere is part Zen ethics here.  If you know the other party cannot detect it you have to tell them.Nov 06 12:25
oiaohmOr offer to provide the gear to test for it.Nov 06 12:25
msb__So is buyer expected to run every test for poison known to man?Nov 06 12:25
oiaohmAnd not tell them why you offering the gear.Nov 06 12:25
oiaohmBasically yep.  msb__Nov 06 12:26

oiaohmMinceR: If you stay in cold for long enough you pain sensors turn on.Nov 06 12:28
MinceRin your heart?Nov 06 12:28
oiaohmEven in heart.  Of course we are talking a week of exposure +.Nov 06 12:29
oiaohmOf course not cold enough to cause frost bite or other bad problems.Nov 06 12:29
oiaohmMinceR: basically don't pick a fight with a proper born and raised shaolin monk.Nov 06 12:30
MinceRwell, i'm no martial artistNov 06 12:31
oiaohmMinceR:  they also thicken there skin by hitting it to trigger it to grow thicker as well.Nov 06 12:31
msb__I must go now and sit and meditate on how thankful I am not to live in the PRC.  Back in a few.Nov 06 12:32
oiaohmMinceR: human body is design to discourage us staying in the cold.Nov 06 12:33

azalynthe oracle v google thing regarding java shows that we probably shouldn't trust java either.Nov 06 19:56
azalyni think all these 'frameworks' are more trouble than they are worth.Nov 06 19:56
schestowitzpython is also a bit of a frameworkNov 06 19:56
schestowitzwe need more machine codeNov 06 19:57
schestowitzoctave is also a frameworkNov 06 19:57
azalyni like the vala/genie approach. just use a preprocessor. you still get a nice more user friendly language.. but it's compiled, and implemented on top of CNov 06 19:57
azalyn(and glib)Nov 06 19:57
azalyni don't really like python much either.. it's been slow for me.. over the years. all of these managed code languages, and interpreters, seem to always screw with my memory usage.Nov 06 19:58
azalynso do the javascript VMs in browsers. which is why i like using noscript.Nov 06 19:58
DaemonFC"GTK+ 3, GTK+ 2, GTK# 2, QT4. Then there's the libnux crap. They're trying not to default to having useful applications like Cheese because that would bring in all of Clutter which GNOME Shell is based on but Unity is not." <snip> -meNov 06 20:00
DaemonFCon UbuntuNov 06 20:00
azalyni've started to suspect recently that maybe i have some kind of motherboard bug or something.. because my laptop doesn't seem to exhibit the same slowdown problems...Nov 06 20:00
azalyneven so, only garbage collected languages seem to screw up on my main PC. anything written in C or another compiled language performs better.Nov 06 20:00
-TRIdentica/#techrights-[lxoliva/@lxoliva] @wikileaks2 why, of course! assassinating one of the minions is no big deal, it's getting at the masterminds that hurtsNov 06 20:01
amarsh04azalyn - it could be cache or memory controller constraints when lots of memory has to be addressed in a short space of timeNov 06 20:03
amarsh04I prefer compiled code. This machine is stuck on an old version of python because a library for a program I use stopped working for me with later releasesNov 06 20:04
amarsh04python doesn't handle versioning of libraries so wellNov 06 20:05
azalyni don't think it's just that... i think something is defective. because it's just kind of broken..Nov 06 20:06
azalynboth my laptop and desktop use AMD cpu's from around the same era.. they're both AMD64, based on the same microarchitecture.Nov 06 20:07
azalynand yet the laptop doesn't have the issue.Nov 06 20:07
azalynmemory controller is integrated into the cpu.. so unless the desktop cpu is defective, not sure what could be the issue.Nov 06 20:07
azalynwhen i run memtest, i don't get any errors or problems.Nov 06 20:07
amarsh04oh, ok...Nov 06 20:08
azalynthe only symptom is that when i have a lot of tabs open in the browser on the desktop machine, and/or lots of python apps, or java apps... everything just gets really slow, and the mouse starts lagging and such.Nov 06 20:08
azalynand of course, enabling javascript in the browser worsens the issue a lot. so it really seems to be specific to applications that have garbage collection of some sort..Nov 06 20:10
azalynthat seems to be the only common indicator. and yet my laptop is immune. i have less memory on this laptop, and yet it runs surprisingly well, and is consistently responsive.Nov 06 20:10
amarsh04you haven't tried re-creating the swap space for the desktop machine?Nov 06 20:11
azalyni used to think it was proprietary nvidia drivers back in the day.. but this laptop is using them, and like i said, it's fine here.Nov 06 20:12
azalynamarsh04: i've reinstalled the desktop several times.. this problem has been present across three different installs.Nov 06 20:12
azalynthe last time i tried just eliminating swap entirely. since i figured swap was causing it..Nov 06 20:12
amarsh04oh, ok...Nov 06 20:12
azalynon my most recent install, i have swap again now.Nov 06 20:13
azalyni did discover that my desktop nvidia card had defective vram. and i thought that was the cause. but now i've since switched to a radeon 4850... and the issue still haunts me..Nov 06 20:14
azalynit could be a coincidence.. perhaps the ati drivers just suck at managing video memory.. and the nvidia drivers only broke because of my bad vram..Nov 06 20:16
azalynbut that would be an extraordinary coincidence.. to have the same symptoms caused by two different problems on different video cards.Nov 06 20:16

azalyni also have another motherboard. i could try switching boards. i'm worried the other motherboard may not have AMD-V support though.. hopefully i'm wrong.Nov 06 20:20

DaemonFCThere's no legal way to use Banshee in the United States, to play commercially sold DVDs thanks to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act cited above. In this regard, it's also illegal to use mplayer, or VLC to do the same.Nov 06 20:57

DaemonFCIf you want to move on from criminal law (the kind that sends you to prison) to civil law (the kind that can get you sued), you can move on to patent infringing codecs (unless you bought a license from Fluendo or live in a country that doesn't recognize US patents, there's no way around this.) and the Microsoft patents that Mono infringes (Banshee requires Mono.Nov 06 20:57

azalynmsb__: i have 4GB of ram.Nov 06 20:58
azalynand given my aforementioned problems on the desktop, it's not a matter of 'how much' memory. i could have 32 GB and i would likely still have the same issues.Nov 06 20:58
azalynso personally i try to stay away from non-compiled apps as much as possible.Nov 06 20:58
azalynwith my next pc build, i hope to get that amd fusion A8-3800 i mentioned earlier. and maybe a 2x4GB ram kit.Nov 06 20:59
azalynDaemonFC: it's questionable whether any .net patents would stand up in court.Nov 06 21:02
azalynwith java we're lucky in a way that there is now a court case to decide the matterNov 06 21:03
DaemonFCit still involves a US felony to play back DVDs on Linux without lindvd or fluendo dvdNov 06 21:03
azalynsince it means that if google wins, then it pretty much sets a precedent that java is officially open.Nov 06 21:03
DaemonFCno matter what your software of choice isNov 06 21:03
DaemonFCor how you will use itNov 06 21:03
azalynsure, but that may not stand up in court either. the dmca has weakened. the iphone jailbreaking case showed that users *can* circumvent digital locks as long as they're not doing it to violate copyright or anything.Nov 06 21:04
azalynthe PS2 jailbreaking case might go a similar road, and strengthen that precedent.Nov 06 21:05
azalynfrom there, it would only take a few more cases to completely crush the DMCA's power.Nov 06 21:05
DaemonFCI like it when the envelope gets pushed, I'm just not sure I want to be the defendant Nov 06 21:06
azalynthat's true.Nov 06 21:06
azalynbut shuttleworth could presumably defend such a case in court.Nov 06 21:06
azalynalthough perhaps he'd prefer to play it safe.Nov 06 21:06
azalynin the case of the DVD format, it's a lot easier to argue that there is no harm in distributing the library, because CSS is completely broken, we essentially have the private signing keys.. it's not like blu-ray where they have key revocation and bd+Nov 06 21:08
azalynwith dvd, nothing will fix the drm, it's just officially broken forever. so the prosecution would have a difficult case to make.. they'd have to argue that stopping users from playing their legally purchased discs is worth it even though the cryptography is broken.Nov 06 21:09
azalynit's an impossible case to argue.Nov 06 21:09
