Having someone else around to call an ambulance for you when you're having a heart attack can have a large effect on the outcome.

Having someone else around to nag you into going to the doctor when you otherwise might not go, etc.

If you're a professional or part of a professional organization, this is a small hurdle to clear and most would agree that the increased security posture for the end user is worth the inconvenience/price for developers.

If you're an amateur/hobbyist/tinkerer and just want to play with kernel driver development, then you can disable the signing enforcement.

Anyway I'm sorry for derailing from the actual point of this post - it's a very cool project!

You can disable driver signing enforcement if you want to install drivers without having them signed.

Driver signing enforcement enhances the security of the OS by preventing malware from installing kernel mode drivers that would hypothetically have unlimited access to the device without the consent or knowledge of the user.

There really is no downside to this.

Was fun. Made it with only one party member dead (by cannibals) and plenty of food and money.

You do have the strongest experiences and form the strongest memories (both good and bad) when you are at your most unbalanced.

But it's also unsustainable to stay unbalanced for too long.

RyanRies | 8 years ago | on: Microsoft Paint to be killed off after 32 years

Deprecation is not the same thing as removal. They're not removing Paint. They are just not developing it any more. They may still leave it in the OS for years to come; maybe even indefinitely. There are a lot of deprecated programs that still ship with Windows.

Did I read the article incorrectly, or did it say that the bots creators were feeding it additional data each night before the next day's tournament? If so that defeats the entire purpose, doesn't it?
