Hup Holland Series!



I will be writing this "Hup Holland" series for a variety of reasons.
  • I live here some 7 (seven) odd years and I feel for my country (despite the fact that I am of Indian descent)
  • I have totally adopted the culture and am the culture has adopted me.
  • I have been past the dejection and disillusionment TO "hup holland mode"
  • I have been through all the hurdles to realize and respect of what I have and how I live
  • I want to contribute to help make my country to become a nation of excellence and not just some vacation spot for some asians (pun intended! ;-))
  • If I ever leave (I mean go to some other place , get a new job, move to afganistan because I wanna teach the kids out there or help street kids in argentina get computer savvy), I leave with pain (of parting) and not in disgust.
  • And last but not the least, I want to motivate you too! :-)
Listen to what I say about this...

When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

OS Virtualization comparison: Parallels' Virtuozzo vs the rest

Virtuozzo's main differentiators versus hypervisors center on overhead, virtualization flexibility, administration and cost. Virtuozzo requires significantly less overhead than hypervisor solutions, generally in the range of 1% to 5% compared with 7% to 25% for most hypervisors, leaving more of the system available to run user workloads. Customers can also virtualize a wider range of applications using Virtuozzo, including transactional databases, which often suffer from performance problems when used with hypervisors. On the administration side, customers need to manage, maintain and secure just a single OS instance, while the hypervisor model requires customers to manage many OS instances. Of course, the hypervisor vendors have worked hard to automate much of this process, but it still requires more effort to manage and maintain multiple operating systems than a single instance. Finally, OS virtualization with Virtuozzo has a lower list price than the leading hypervisor for comme...
