A DOS from a non-terminating process is still a hack.
- jerf 16y agoThe process can only fail to terminate if the exterior environment doesn't kill it, and no amount of work in a correctly secured environment will let the process escape that. Security is hard, really hard even, but Hollywood OS is fictional. Barriers are penetrable today because they have holes, not because Godel's theorem guarantees that all security can be penetrated. That's not what it is about.
