@allquixotic It's part of fastboot. I don't have the bandwidth to pull it up as I'm installing and updating lots of apps on my N9, but you might want to look at the AOSP source code to understand it better.
The Nexus 9 is a bit different as it's built by HTC and therefore has HBOOT (and the Android robots on skateboards on the menu), but fastboot is provided as well.
If you unlock the bootloader, you will be able to install custom operating system software on this phone.
A custom OS is not subject to the same testing as the original OS, and can cause your phone and installed applications to stop working properly.
To prevent unauthorized access to your personal data, unlocking the bootloader will also delete all personal data from your phone (a "factory data reset").
Press the Volume Up/Down buttons to select Yes or No and continue.
Make sure you don't set up a PIN or picture password. If you've set up a PIN or picture password, Windows will also store your local password in a reversible form that can be decrypted with Mimikatz.
To block a thief from booting off your computer with a CD or USB, you can set a BIOS password to...
Don't be fooled.

"The following classes of system objects are supervised by Sandboxie: Files, Disk Devices, Registry Keys, Process and Thread objects, Driver objects, and objects used for Inter-process communication: Named Pipes and Mailbox Objects, Events, Mutexs (Mutants in NT speak), Semaphores, Sections and LPC Ports. For some more information on this, see Sandbox Hierarchy. "
Basically it keeps everything in a small subset of memory. The best part if there is a conflict with Sandboxie and an app, it will basically bail out, because it bails out in a protect subset of memory :-)
Given there is a huge exploit in a major commercial hypervisor
that allows the attacker to escape the VM, granted, its the server hypervisors not stand alone clients that has this exploit
They both have advantags.
The best thing is it does conflict with any of the security software i use ;$
I don't suggest a great deal of software to anyone. But when I do .. alright I won't actually say that whole line, but Sandboxie actually is i suggest ( only about 5 pieces of software on my list )
Of course how Sandboxie works its magic can also present problems, reading it actually breaks Chrome's sandbox, by overriding certain polcies apparently
which isn't a big deal since it doesn't escape sandboxie, basicaly, if something targeted snadboxie it could in theory escape but thts true with a vm too
My Windows 8 PC won't start up. When I power it on, I see the Acer splash screen, but then I get an error screen with a code 0xc000021a and then it reboots and tries to repair diskfiles, but fails then gives me the option to refresh/reset/more advanced options. I've tried to refresh my PC but tha...
Can anyone in here help me find a consumer router than is compatible with my VDSL2 modem and has one-to-one NAT? I have looked at the TP-Link TL-ER604W but i am unsure if it will work with my VDSL2 modem?
Fair enough, that's what confused me most. How does the authentication work then? as currently i enter my broadband login details via the router and have no access to the modem.
@djsmiley2k why not? I have 4 useable IP's and I want to use them for my servers separately.
@JamesTrotter The authentication is usually some form of PPP, which most routers (that support auth over a birdged modem) will support. The choice of PPPoE or PPPoA depends on what your ISP uses between their DSLAM and their BRAS.
@JamesTrotter Don't need to. Look up your ISP's config online, they'll either have a webpage or someone probably mentioned it on some forum, or even look at how it's currently configured.
Your modem probably has an option for PPPoE and PPPoA, one will be selected.
Or just try both and see which one works.
Some ISPs accept both.
IIRC PPPoA is preferred if you can use it - slightly less overhead.
@JourneymanGeek haha might as well be, they all seem pretty knowledgeable and as soon as I show i know come of what I'm doing they usually drop the scripted "have you tried turning it off and on again" spiel

@Bob Lol, i just emailed the guy at the ISP and he sent me back my login info... "I hope this resolves any problems."
> In preparation of this migration, starting on June 9, the following changes will also be implemented by the registry: - limiting the renewal period to only 1 year (it is currently possible to renew up to 9), - increase in the renewal price to $102.60 (€85.50 / £) excl. VAT per year, (it is currently $19 (€14 / £12.50) excl. VAT in A rates), - halting of new registrations until further notice
In all seriousness - a VPS doesn't give me the ability to spin off isolated VMs so easily, nor enough control, and the cheaper ones have bullshit restrictions, and the expensive ones are more expensive than a physical box anyway.
@JamesTrotter "dual core 3GHz CPUs" means nothing. you need to consider the specific CPU model, or at the very least the architecture and maybe the amount of cache
and that's quite expensive per month for that hardware, depending on location...
@Bob i meant 2x dual core 3GHz cpus, they're an old generation of xeon, but they do the job, and thats not monthly i own the machine and collocate it in a nearby datacentre
@Bob Yeah they're not great, i'll have to find the generation.
@JamesTrotter e.g. my current dedi has 12 cores (dual L5539). I'm planning to move to a single E5-1620v2, which should have similar multi-threaded performance across four cores - approx 3x the single-threaded perf
@DragonLord From the Linode ToS:
> Misuse of System Resources: Intentional misuse of system resources, including but not limited to employing programs that consume excessive network capacity, CPU cycles, or disk IO.
@Bob technically the most accurate way is an apples-to-apples benchmark, but that only works on the same CPU architecture because of the way compilers and assemblers work; it wouldn't be fair to penalize, say, ARM, if gcc has a worse ARM assembler than x86.
but, absent a benchmark, you have to consider CPU generation, # of cores/HT threads, cache, instruction set architecture, maybe MHz if all else is equal, and TDP (since there are now some Intel CPUs that look damn awesome on paper until you realize the TDP is 4.4W; oops)
@djsmiley2k looking at TDP in isolation is not especially useful, but the large differences in TDP between "mobile/SoC-like" chips and desktop-grade chips and then, on the high-end, full-scale server chips, is telling of performance categories
in broad brush strokes, there are 3 TDP "ranges" for CPUs: <5W: SoC 22W-65W or so: mainstream full-scale desktop CPUs or "real" laptop CPUs higher: full-scale (e.g. Xeon EP)
@Bob Tegra has a TDP around 5W, but smartphones running Qualcomm or Apple processors have average power draw closer to 1-2W, and maybe peak up to 4.4W at max load
