Ha ha ha... well oops. Jeremy Falcon

For sure WSUS has always had its own set of problems, but as mentioned, by now it's a known quantity, in terms of what to expect and what to do about it. I've come across scripts myself that do the sort of thing you brought up, and wrote a few more of my own. If those are such big problems for people that they'd rather rely on MS to keep evolving patch management, then that's why these on-going services are pay-for. But people can't claim any of this came without their own warnings.

Stolen. That's great.

Oh, ain't that the truth.

Very cool! He's done some great stuff, and it looks like he's got some more to do! I totally agree with his committment to learning, as I do that myself. But rather than focusing on the thing I like to do, I diversify. A few years ago, after I retired the first time from the energy industry, I took on a study of gunsmithing at a place called American Gunsmithing Institute and completed the Professional Gunsmith Level 2 program. At the time they had a Master level, too, but it included a bunch of tools that I already have, so I passed. Eight years later they came up with a new level, sans the tools, called the Advanced Master course. It adds a few hundred more hours of training, includes certified Armorer courses for about 85 popular guns, and certification on all Glocks, Model 1911s, AR-style rifles and pistols, as well as expansion packs of 10 - 12 DVDs each, covering about a hundred more firearms than the several hundred I studied the first time around. Good stuff, this always learning something new, and the Internet makes it so much easier to find stuff! I'm also taking an online class in AutoCAD, and taking classes with ESRI to improve my mapping skills using ArcGIS Pro. I bought a pair of GNSS receivers with accessories last year, one Base and one Roaming on a stick, and it would be a shame to let that investment go to waste for lack of knowledge on using all that GIS data! I once interviewed for a job as a programmer at a casino, and their hiring process included sitting around a room full of applicants and telling everyone there what we have done and know how to do. It took a while, and the guy that was supposed to follow me got up and left saying, "I can't compete with that." Nitwit - he was applying for busboy. In the end I declined the offer they gave me because 1) they still thought Visual C was a great product and 2) a lot of the internal apps were written using VB6. I went to work as a Yamaha parts salesman and ended up getting certified as a Yamaha Five Star Service Tech in all product lines. Never leave me alone with a stack of training videos! Will Rogers never met me.

So did the mouse have a ticket?

Ah yes he had political aspirations - I would have thought he would have been snapped up by Boris :-D In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity. - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

Well I had thought it was back, but that would appear to be for one day only ;-(

I believe that any app cannot allocate RAM beyond its address space. If you by 'address space' refer to the entire 2**64 bytes space that a 64 bit process can cover by its addresses, 16 exbi bytes (more than 16 million gigabytes), your assumption is right: A process cannot allocate that much space. And we will never see a computer with 16 exbi bytes of RAM. Never ever. In no general machine (excluding e.g. embedded processors) of the last 30-40 years has the address indicated by the program code been used directly as the physical RAM address. The virtual address in the program is translated to a different physical address in RAM through a set of hardware translation tables, managed by the OS, called the Memory Management System (MMS). Each process has its own set of MMS tables. The OS sets up the MMS tables for a tiny slice of the virtual address space. If the program presents a virtual address within this slice, the range covered by the MMS tables for that process, it is translated to a physical RAM address. If the virtual address is outside the range covered by the MMS tables, an interrupt is generated, and the OS will terminate the process. (Well, it might offer a mechanism for reporting the interrupt e.g. to a debugger that can inspect the process state before it is cleaned out.) If you by 'its address space' refer to just that slice of the total 64 bit virtual address space for which the OS has set up translation tables, then you are essentially right. The size of this slice can be a few hundred kiB, a few GiB, or many GiB - but the OS will not give you more than it is capable of handling. When an app allocates RAM, the allocated space is, at the outset, within the address space translated by its MMS tables. If the malloc/new/... maps down to an OS request, the OS may say: 'There isn't enough unused space in the already mapped virtual address space, so I have to add another entry to the mapping tables, expanding the address space available to that process'. Before the OS does that, it will check that the process does not already control an excessive amount of address space. The limit is set by the OS to any value that it can handle. In many systems, malloc/new/... starts out as a call to a runtime library in the process address space. As long

Sounds like a fun project. I hope it all works out the way you want it to!
