Op code 666
It's funny you should mention this. Just yesterday I was proofing a reference implementation by hand of the Hash Message Authentication Code algorithm (HMAC), you know, the one that is used to key a secure hash algorithm...
The algorithm is basically this [pseudo code]:
opad = 0x5c x hash_block_size// Repeating bytes of padding
ipad = 0x36 x hash_block_size// uste to make 2 key out of 1.
if key.length > hash_block_size then key = HASH( key );
opad = opad XOR key// each byte of key XORed
ipad = ipad XOR key// with ipad and opads bytes
HMAC_result = HASH( opad + HASH( ipad + message ) )// + is concatenation
So, I've got the SHA-512 implementation running on graph paper, and simultaneously I'm stepping through the code using a debugger on the software.
I glance up at the screen after the memset( ipad, 0x36, hash_block_size ); and see this: *ipad == "666666666666666..."// 128 sixes.
I spewed coffee on my keyboard laughing, because the source code line was also 666. I should have instantly realized the charcode from many an ASCII Hex <-> Bin implementation. However, here I had written out 128 sixes in disguise on my graph paper too (1024bit block), and all the reference implementations refer to the 6 char by its hexcode as well... Which I might add: 0x36 = 3 6... three six? 666?
Truly, the devil is in the details... keeping you secure!
Tell me, what hardware will you test the chips via?
You are now aware that the infamous Ken Thompson Compiler / Microcode Hack was well known to the government before he pontificated on it during his ACM acceptance speech / paper.

Tell me, indeed, how exactly would you select the chips that did not already have such modification for comparison? Oh it should take more time indeed, but far much more than you realize.

Modern OS IO caching is a crutch for poorly written software systems that should be using a daemon if they need that performance.
Additionally: Firmware is for/boot/ for those who want instant-on and the same security of UEFI (even on x86) without the cluster-fsck of UEFI.
Why do some people's sympathies and sensitivities stop at their own nation?
Well, for the same reason they have fear and suspicion of folks with other colors of skin. That is to say, evolution found such instincts beneficial to the preservation of your genes. That's not to say you must be slaves to your baser drives. If anything, use the knowledge for good. Teach children and scientists alike how to combat such bias. Guilt over the irrational fear of other different looking or sounding or acting people when turned inward leads to hate. If an untrained mind is looking for some reason for their weariness they may not blame themselves, and instead search out and self select some false negativity of the other group. The confirmation bias will reinforce this.
Such coping mechanisms are not nipped in the bud by teaching them in school, because it is directly threatening to those who would use such cognitive tools against the people to help manufacture their consent for lucrative wars.
Think about it. You're defending a post that is demonizing the NK people for running a nuclear power plant. Is that so evil? The do have stockpiles of nuclear material, and you're defending one who would say that using the material for its only other use, a good use for it at that... One that may even decrease the amount of weapons grade nuclear material they have stockpiled.
Meanwhile, the USA is exactly the same when it comes to corruption of the media for state and corporate interest. It may not be as draconian, but you fail to see the parallels where they do in-fact, do more than a little part of what NK does every day. How easy is it for you to migrate to another country? You have had secret no fly lists, and spend massive resources on whistleblower man hunts. You have mandatory full body scans / invasive pat downs at hubs of travel. The US furthers their cult of personality to reinforce the largest gun wielding psychopath of them all.
Where are your WMDs? There was not even the suspicion that they existed. There was only the need for a threat narrative to with public support of an unwarranted war. More than 130,000 civilians have been killed in retaliation for 2,996 -- TWO orders of magnitude more... And you aren't protesting in the streets? Bombs dropped on cities, and the rebuilding botched, but not before the mandatory funneling of tax payer dollars into US companies who botched the job.
And you have the audacity to proclaim NK is worse... You are your own worst enemy, fool. Here, have some mandatory Chomsky, and some insight into your role in the world., though I doubt it will help; Small minded minion you are.

The biggest threat to "national security" is an informed citizen who, having seen the numbers, would rather take their chances without it.
We could save more lives through heart disease screening, or prostate exam funding (boobs get all the cash, but the more fatal cancer goes largely unfunded). For all the shit we've stirred up world wide in the name of "national security", they've failed to address EVERY leading cause of death in the world.
Yes, because I develop cross platform applications, but I run it in a VM on Linux too, so I just restored the MS OS partition from snapshot. If you don't have a separate partition for/home/, or if you you let Windows touch bare metal, you're going to have a bad time. Always use protection.
Unvirtualized proprietary software? Not even once.
I've always wondered why folks think so highly of the mating game. After years of married life and kids I'm miserable, while the friend of mine who remained single and mostly dateless is now the happiest guy I know.
Such flippant remarks... We're talking about the Earth being destroyed by laboratory professionals, and not pondering over why exactly it is we're mysteriously long overdue for an otherwise regular mass extinction event, coincidentally around the time complex life showed promise in direction of sentience. Look, they have big brains too, so why aren't the dolphins on speaking terms with us? Because they're not real dolphins.
I don't think you grasp the gravity of the situation.
Thus, further demonstrating how arbitrary and pointless the artificial scarcity of information is in the information age.
We're going to deactivate the game that you are currently playing because there is another person who wants to run these same 1's and 0's through their computer, and we say you can't both so at the same time.... because, you know, gamers suck at economics 101: Infinite Supply = Zero Price;// Regardless of cost to create.
The problem is that they have chosen to monetize the games' production by leveraging artificial scarcity. If instead they monetized the production up front, you know, do work and get paid to do it, then the work belongs to whomever paid for it ( in this case the public at large ), then we would have more games, more content (have to keep working to make more money), and all games would be "free" after they were created.
Imagine if Michelangelo put forth a business model whereby he would make the statue David for free, but then charge each person who looked at it a fee for experiencing the art. He'd be laughed at and ridiculed by today's businessmen... yet that's how the games industry is run.
Oh, I don't blame you... This is your first generation growing up in the Age of Information. Every species has growing pains, but the economist usually set things straight pretty fast -- You let the money makers be in charge of scarcity laws.... "Copyright". You are trillions of copies of a single cell, duplicating information is the function of life, and you made laws against it? No wonder your race doesn't have any self sustaining off-world colonies, not even a moon base, and yours is made of the same exact stuff as your planet, so you have no excuse.
Regular mass extinction events, then suddenly they stopped.... your planet is over two extinctions overdue, you're living on borrowed time, the mass extinctions just by chance coinciding with the rise of larger brained life with potential for intelligence... If you ask me, they were wrong about that. One messily gamma ray burst or medium sized asteroid is all it would have taken to wipe your whole planet out, and we've got gems like this: "Artificial Information Scarcity".... in the Information Age of all times! It would be funny if it wasn't so sad! When the next big rock comes, my vote will be to just let it hit you if you haven't figured out Economy 101 by then.

Most Slashdotters can understand that being a Liberal does not necessarily make one a Socialist or Communist. Why then do we accept the pigeonholing of all Libertarians as Anarchists/Anarcho-Capitalists?
The answer is their lizard brains are taking a binary me vs you, or us vs them, or fight vs flight absolute stance, because it is more ancient and thus more heavily activated in association with competition and aggression. These I would not call human. A human is conscious of such cognitive bias in their decision making. A human knows that feelings and emotions are the result of triggers placed by evolution, and thus are great for deciding issues of mate selection and tipping us off to movement in the shadows; However, instead of ignoring the instincts a human will harnesses them and examines these impulses with their more recent ape minds and forebrains, learning to wield them as tools. A human realizes that in order to advance the species they must not let the slowly evolving ancient mental hardware hamper their faster changing cultural firmware and neither of these hamper their very quickly adapting cognitive software.
You see, a human would assay the political landscape and more heavily weight current issues than past alliances, and weight far less the ideals pandering to primal drives (like the need for competition, stability, safety, and compassion -- or conservative, free market, regulative, environmental and health concerns). You see, the politician is exaggerating everything while pandering to your base desire to protect and provide for mates and children, regardless of if they are truly in danger or if the risk is acceptable. The politician also panders to your primitive instincts by exaggerating risks to financial ambition and market competition. They even peddle exaggerations to the compassionate nurturing instincts when exaggerating the very real strife of the lowest classes. Do not dismiss this political skill, it is a highly effective and dangerous tool; Do not think the politician foolish for using it as an undercurrent to further their actual goals. However, a human is above all of this nonsense; Humans will see the larger picture and prioritize those goals which appear to be currently suffering over those which are currently dominantly achieved in order to constantly seek equilibrium.
A human would at times be aligned with Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, or other parties. Humans can use all the parties as tools to further the human's own political goals. A human is a tool using creature. A smart human uses the right tool for the right job. Those with a tendency for acting lizard-brained could be cured of their false dichotomies and foolish absolutisms; However, it is not politically advantageous to educate the populous in thinking with their whole minds. The education system is ruled by those who would be threatened by decreased primal instinct influence. So, what should be 1st grader elementary school ethics, is ridiculously missing; The "humanities" should include a course on being human and harnessing of feelings, weighing them against logic, and presenting to youngest children the situations and teaching them first how to identify bias (and thus how to be human) long before teaching them other trivialities such as algebra or geography. None teach the young thirsty minds how to harness their brains and think for themselves, and so you all suffer.
Once in college the young and idyllic are encouraged to ignore all feelings when doing "rational" thought -- and thus become more easy the victim to the ancient ancestral cognitive biases; Instead they should acknowledge the "He's attacking me!" feelings when one attacks their paper or point of view... In other terms: They rarely SYN-ACK, only SYN or ACK. The people have learned not to go screaming hysterically when they get spooked by the wind while walking down a dark road, but have failed to harness such impulses with cognitive powers: "Wait, did my subconscious detect so
Well, at least the hard part is over now. Now all we have to do is build a rocket and living quarters to get there and stay.

Just do it anyway, even if they know it'll cause a stir. Then, apologize for it later, but continue anyway since the "damage" has already been done and they can get back to the immortal corporate duel for monopoly (this time the fight's over spying... "There can be only ONE!").
Wow. The NSA is getting bold. Maybe they think wrapping the TRIGGER WORDS in <b> tags and ORing the chars with 0x20 will have some kind of CHILLING EFFECT on public outcry?
Sad to think that talking about your country's CONSTITUTION could get you on some kind of WATCH LIST...
Too good if you ask me. In fact, the "enemies" now look just like passionately patriotic citizens who wish to protect their country's constitution, as they so swore.
