Failed to CoCreate profiler
After using and uninstalling ANTS memory profiler this was left behind on the Environment registry key of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\ :
Cor_Enable_Profiling=0x1
COR_PROFILER={D60F7519-2600-4865-8AC1-C621C9CE41A2}
ANTS_PROCESS_GROUP=e481699b-c05d-4e9a-94e9-8b89a73b69d1
ANTS_PIPE=\\.\pipe\AMP51

- Two natural bridges on the MoonImagine this landscape: you're walking across an unusually smooth lunar surface, an impact melt sheet on the floor of a relatively recently formed crater.

Taking a chance on an unusual walk, you venture out onto the […]

- Spooks, Mercs or Merchants over Iceland?This is a reprint of a post from Arctic Progress.

Strange Maps
- 479 - Gangs of LAAll conflict tends towards binarity, be it on the chess board, in the political arena or on the mean streets of Los Angeles. This map shows parts of south LA, and the way it is divided between the two main gangs, the Bloods and the Crips. Curiously, the colour scheme is identical to the one dividing US counties and states into ‘red’ (Republican) and ‘blue’ ( […]

- Does All of Our Intelligence Data Pass The "So What" Test?Data relevance is critical to achieving success in the Intelligence Community (IC). Simply put, everything that we do must pass the “so what?” test, and we need to move away from creating intelligence data for intelligence’ sake. This means that every intelligence product and briefing should have a clear goal and tangible outcomes.The unfortunate reality is […]

Also feel free to post alternative LCS ideas and let the [...] […]

- On Bacevich, Part IThe last time I saw Andrew Bacevich was a month or so ago, and he chastised me for not responding to this piece he wrote on the New Republic's website. I explained that I had been busy finishing a draft of my dissertation but that I would give it some thought and would respond. I have been thinking a lot about morality and foreign policy since, so Part […]
Arms Control Wonk
- Working at the MarginsMy alter ego, Chauncey Gardiner, joins me (again) for this post, which is prompted, no doubt, by an August spent pulling weeds in the bog garden and thinking/writing about U.S.-Pakistan nuclear relations. Restoration Creek – just a trickle, really – winds its way through the woods behind the house from a spring at the base [...] […]
