  1. Re:Super NES address space is far from linear on Lost Package Derails Project To Preserve Super Nintendo Games (eurogamer.net) · · Score: 1

    Very interesting. Thanks for taking the time to explain.

    So much extra complexity to squeeze every last bit of performance out of that old hardware. Nowadays designers/programmers are so wasteful because everything is so fast they don't care.

    Why all the mirroring?

  3. Re:Scammers don't use real numbers on Programmer Develops Phone Bot To Target Windows Support Scammers (onthewire.io) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The summery says " 'you have a virus call this number now' messages" so it sounds like they are giving out a real number they expect the victims to call.

    Buy land up hill from current coastal areas then drop it in the ocean. Bonus: you get an island full of ocean front property too.

    Why is iodine used for those things ("scrub the incision area", etc) instead of alcohol?

    Not disagreeing with anything you said, just curious why iodine is chosen over alcohol which I am under the impression will also kill pretty much everything.

    According to the summery Google deleted his email account too.

    The CC fees paid by any company the size of Apple are going to be pretty tiny. The discount is probably refunded so all they are out is the pennies (probably around 30 cents) transaction fee.

    But then the CEO can't look at pretty real-time graphics on his cell phone. Not going to happen.

  12. And what guarantees that the person who downloaded it and uploaded it to the repo got a safe copy? Unless the developer is putting it in the repo himself they are as vulnerable as anyone else.

  13. Re:Javascript fanatics take notice... on Department of Homeland Security Still Uses COBOL (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    The same can be said (to an extent) about PHP as well. PHP was originally basically a more powerful replacement for SSI. If you think of it in that context, it's historical flaws like register_globals are really not so bad.

  14. Bomb Soul into the ground?

    A lot of useful raw materials can be salvaged from the rubble. We may not be able to mine for copper, but it's not so hard to dig copper pipes out of the rubble and melt them down.

    It's a generally effective stunt because few few people actually try to verify signatures.

    Steam has the benefits of auto updating your games, keeping a copy of your saves in the cloud, and selling games very cheaply.

    Cloudflare offers free services to a lot of sites, proxying all of their traffic. With a business model like that, I figure they were an NSA front from the start.

    It's a comparatively cheap way to do mass surveillance.
