All high-level languages above native processor code are abstraction layers that reduce performance. The goal is to reduce the chance of errors and to speed development time, and if a language does that well it can be worth the downsides.
HTML for example is very high level, and pretty poor relative performance compared to native, but it is simple and fast for me to create my own page, and it is unlikely that an error in my code will cause a HCF error in the processor, corrupt the memory stack, result in privilege escalation within the OS, etc.
Im no programmer, but claiming something isnt modern is just a shady way of denigrating something for being well established. Essentially, where one person might say "its stable" or "time tested", youve found a way to turn that into a negative.
Arent latest, greatest fads usually just fads? Arent the most popular programming languages generally decades old (C++, Java)? Isnt one of the most popular languages for embedded devices (C) even older?

I kind of doubt the CEO of Home Depot is required to have electrical knowledge or that he directly reviews the packaging on every item sold in a Home Depot.
I guess the question comes down to this: If there were another holocaust, but this time the "hitler" were to be content taking, say, Poland and then stopping whilst massacring the Jews, Romani, and other "undesirables", would we be willing to go to war over it?
I mean, the history books paint it us as some savior of the masses for stopping a monstrous crime from continuing, and yet I get the impression that the US people would not do it again if history were to repeat.
Thats almost correct, but not the whole of it. Microwave radiation is non-ionizing, but it also can have some funky effects like inducing electricity. IIRC its still up in the air whether microwave has any effects other than just thermal.
But in general, if the radiation isnt ionizing, its probably not harmful unless you feel a physical burning sensation.
Bleach and autoclaving appear to be effective on prions: source
The World Health Organization recommends any of the following three procedures for the sterilization of all heat-resistant surgical instruments to ensure that they are not contaminated with prions:
Immerse in a pan containing 1N NaOH and heat in a gravity-displacement autoclave at 121C for 30 minutes; clean; rinse in water; and then perform routine sterilization processes.
Immerse in 1N NaOH or sodium hypochlorite (20,000 parts per million available chlorine) for 1 hour; transfer instruments to water; heat in a gravity-displacement autoclave at 121C for 1 hour; clean; and then perform routine sterilization processes.
Immerse in 1N NaOH or sodium hypochlorite (20,000 parts per million available chlorine) for 1 hour; remove and rinse in water, then transfer to an open pan and heat in a gravity-displacement (121C) or in a porous-load (134C) autoclave for 1 hour; clean; and then perform routine sterilization processes.[62]
File corruption wont generate ioerrors I dont think. Your system may be able to properly read data from the disks, data that it thinks is what you requested, its just that the data is bad. A computer isnt going to generally be able to detect that without either knowledge of the file format, or checksums.
The research concluded that of the major 20 news outlets studied "18 scored left of the average U.S. voter, with CBS Evening News, The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times ranking second, third and fourth most liberal behind the news pages of The Wall Street Journal, while only the Fox News "Special Report With Brit Hume" and The Washington Times scored right of the average U.S. voter."
Yes, CBS Evening news, NYTimes and the WSJ are all minor, unimportant papers, right?
Ill note that as a DC Metro area resident, the Washington Post also seems to have some bias towards the left.
And once again the game industry is utterly unimportant in this context. Its not like it was one of Syrias mainstay industries that is now in shambles. I mean, if you asked the average Syrian, do you think he would care in the lease about the state of the Syrian gaming industry?
Economic sanctions dont mean we roll in there and take their money; they amount to one country saying "we dont like what youre doing, so we wont trade with you freely, and will encourage others not to as well".
If there WERENT sanctions, I imagine wed be seeing an article about how Bush was in bed with Syrian leadership and is to blame for the hardship there now.
Construction of the Banqiao dam began in April 1951 on the Ru River with the help of Soviet consultants as part of a project to control flooding and to generate electricity.
Ill give you that it had more than one purpose, but "electricity" wasnt just a "nice added extra".

All of them need 10-gig lan switches, as well, and PoE-- even if they have no PoE devices.
Is WRT56 the successor to the WRT54G, offering 56mbit wifi?
In the common parlance and most widely understood definition for this context, it is.

Because what you propose is a technical impossibility?

facts are open to interpretation
Seems to me youre begging the question: If there is positive bias, these "facts" are indeed open to interpretation.
You seen football?

By that logic rugby players should ditch the mouthguard. Because those things only generate more injuries, right?

Thats not suspicious in the least, no sir.
Linux has been out for ~19 years, and 2.6 for ~8, and its still been getting patched. Ditto Windows, ditto OSX. Are they all garbage?
I kind of doubt the CEO of Home Depot is required to have electrical knowledge or that he directly reviews the packaging on every item sold in a Home Depot.
Wait, let me get this straight: someone's selling ICS editions of ARM processors? Where can I buy one?
Take your pick: red herring, fallacy of irrelevance, reductio ad Hitlerum, or an ad hominem,
I guess the question comes down to this:

Seconding the photorec / testdisk suite, they are incredible. I would rate it up with ddrescue as the top 2 data recovery tools.
My mistake, that was a separate snippet.
That particular snippet continues,

I dont think it is simple, and for the record Im no fan of Obama.
