Always blame the "ignorant" journos when the researchers themselves, actively or passively, encourage/allow the hoopla because the increased publicity may enhance the prospect for future funding.
Yeah, the trick is getting tiresome. Own up, weasels.
By "collapsing" I mean to hide the child comments entirely including the subjects, with just a marker button, perhaps on the root comment's subject line, to indicate if there is any child comments. This way the comment thread/subtree I'm not interested in will not take up any vertical space.
How about a button to collapse a comment thread? Stick a little toggle button to each displayed comment to collapse/expand it and its children comments.
It would make it easier to skip over off-topic pedantic comment threads (or whatever thread the reader prefer to disregard) that often run interminably long while burying more germane comments far down in the page.
If you've worked in security, it don't take long to realize how expensive the task is and how limited is its efficacy despite expending much effort. Stepping back a bit, you come to appreciate the enormous cost of mistrust.
This is my observation having spent some time in IT security of financial firms, and I wouldn't be surprised if those with experience in other security arena (physical, law enforcement, etc.) come to make similar observation.
In the end, increasing the general level of trust in the whole of society might just be the best way to improve security, perhaps even if only the material cost is accounted for. Of course, increased level of trust in general would have whole host of other benefits as well.
So, anyway, I'm not surprised Schneier wrote a book on this topic. I'll have to have a look.

* When it does. Not when it does not, shut up and pay already.
Now you've done it. You going to the slammer now, fool.
Limey bastard LOL
Fuck you, limey bastards.
Nicely done, timmy boy. Absolutely fabulous.
That seems the basic strategy of medicine in general, enough poison to kill the nasties, but hopefully not enough to kill the patient.
Use your knees. "Experts" are buncha idiots.
Death prevents cancer. Try that, but it's only a suggestion, not a recommendation.
And that tells volumes on what today's "well read and respected peer reviewed" medical research amount to these days.
Of course, they'd blame the reporters, but you know the researchers are in on it because they know more publicity means more funding.
Everyone who paid to see Michael Bay's movie must pay extra 10% income tax.
Those who took their kids with'em need to be referred to child protection agencies.
I don't think it changed, but reading the headline again tells me my bitching was misplaced.
My bad, lamer. As Gilda Radner said, never mind.
To my eyes, the headline reads as if this Kyle Wiens is on war against DIY camp, as opposed to being against this "war" on DIY.
Wouldn't be British without the whining and moaning.
We would have priced it at $999.99. Dumb limeys, they had it coming.

Mod the parent up. Any link to full AMD announcement with the list of CPU models affected and the status on any workaround in the works?
The galaxies are gone. Horse has already left the barn. Spilled milk. Water under the bridge.
Dark matter needs to buck up, get it together, and move on, get on with the life. There is a whole universe out there.
But first things first. Ban idiots opening their mouths - "would definitely help" prevent the infectious stupidity.
All you idiots, you've been warned. We've got your number. You so screwed now.
You related to Dr. Bob?
Driving hummers, flying all over the place spewing carbon out the wazoo. Fools.

How are they (DDG) funding their operation then?
No shit. Your handle is "pope".
