You know a large number of commercial routers run on Linux, right?
...with a bunch of utter trash piled on top, wherein the exploitable code likely lies, given the large number of individualized signatures this campaign seems to be using.
A basic OpenWRT with only what you need to connect to the Internet has a much smaller code surface. To the extent it looks at the packets above L3 at all, it does so only to build NAT helper rules and for DNS caching. You've got LUCI, dnsmasq, and dropbear listening on the internal network. At worst, you decided you needed uPnP and installed it. There's really not much reason to install much else than that.
Direction of amperage does indeed matter, but to see whether it matters you need to know the voltage at the exact time of the amperage. Here we are working with RMS values so we could just multiply V and I (though this is a short-hand that can backfire under certain circumstances.) But we can only do this for purely resistive loads where V an I are proportional. What's important is that unless you correct for the power factor, amperage and power draw are not well connected, and neither is Voltage and power draw.
Power factors for unloaded power supplies are extremely low. The current is reactive, meaning that power is stored in the coil and/or capacitors and then released back into the grid. So you have current, but the direction of power flow is sometimes out of the grid, sometimes into the grid.
Though, in this case, it turns out the original source of this figure meant to say mW not mA (unsurprizing, as 500mA would be a bit on the high side for a reactive load for computer equipment). However as to the quality of even that figure, you have to trust that the "watt miser" is able to perform the correct summation over possibly non-sinusoidal input... though for an unloaded device there's probably not much SVR going on so that's less of a concern.
People who work in industries where it matters have specialized meters for this... your run of the mill consumer grade multimeter will not do it.
General pactice when someoe is being tageted is t asume other attaks fromm other vectors are in pogress som of which may be crack-basd.
I can titaly see this happening what wit today's autocorect, IT people not bein traned in gramar and always rushin, an the godamn suck ass chiclet keybords in us today.
these people should be fire, and black balled, for this sort of behavior. If it were me I would let them go and instruct HR to say only they were fired for insubordination if anyone calls looking for a reference.
I, for one, do not want my tax dollars spent on the lawsuits that would result, and be settled by the government coughing up money even after spending on the lawyers, if this happened.
trying to make the practice sound somehow unscrupulous.
One could argue the general point either way... the company has interest in the stock price above and beyond what a normal investor in the stock would have. However, rather than wade through that mire, if you read the attached article, this is in the context of what other things they could be spending money on, like fully funding their pension programs, overpaying CEOs (especially when CEO bonuses are pinned to the stock price), or paying more than lip service to renewables.
If someone pulls out of an investment by selling, someone else is buying.
Sometimes that someone is the company that issued the stock buying it back to juice the market. That's a sugar high. (And were it not for such a fossil fuel friendly administration coming in, these particular companies might get barred from doing so until they fully fund their pension plans.)
The companies (and their CEOs) are indeed buying back their stock:
The current report also found fault with share repurchases, a controversial practice of public companies buying back shares of their own stock. Critics say this artificially inflates a company's share price. In 2014, 23 of the top 30 fossil fuel companies spent a combined $38.5 billion repurchasing shares, a figure six times larger than the $6.6 billion all corporations spent that year on research into renewable energy, according to the report.
I'd probably tell my employer: I like doing stuff, and I'll still work some part time, but I am not getting up at 7AM anymore unless I damn well feel like it.
1) Why? Why would it be nice? 2) Since it is an expert system, it probably already has an error rate. That's how expert systems work. They generate probable leads which feed into a diagnostic process as one contributing input. All IBM needs to prove here is that the leads a probabilistically worth the cost to generate them and the cost to follow up on them.
Using electricity for resistive heating is like using vintage wine to marinate. Electricity is kinetic-quaity energy... heat is just heat. Which is why air conditioners and heat pumps can move more "watts" of heat around than they use in watts of electricity.
So it's no surprise that just about anything was cheaper than that.
it really doesn't matter which coal-powered generator shuts down.
Well, it does a little depending what you are downwind of, but yeah. Though it may be a more effective suppressor to coal in some markets than in others depending on the price of coal in that market.
Yeah pretty much it'll be a long time yet through many failures and partial successes, and then once it's working, not as long a time before the working design gets refactored down to something facepalmingly less complicated.
But for those of you who have not yet seen pictures of the stellarator design, they are worth viewing, if only as really interesting abstract art.
This is a really good idea to help ensure future presidential elections being trustworthy and valid.
And so are the recounts. They've already proven Michigan has a lot of work to do to beef up the security/integrity of their ballot system... regardless of who benefits, which will be nobody. Like using seals properly and not using easily or already ripped ballot bags to preserve the paper record.
Recounts of a certain number of precincts at random should be mandatory, and if those recounts show problems, the recount should be expanded automatically, by law. If your state elections division does not do this, they are not doing their job, and you should be writing angry letters to your reps.

I'll put money on first lawsuit because kid found adult toy and pornography in woods after wind storm.
Dude get a new keyboard, that shit is making my eyes bleed!
These days, getting a "new" keyboard just seems to make the problem worse. Finding an *old* keyboard makes them disappear entirely. Go figure.
~500mA at 120V is 60 Watts
Not for an AC current, it isn't. Also, it's likely a rather reactive load.
If it's got an energy star sticker on it, a monitor in standby should be using less than 2 watts, often far less.

The divesting institutions also repress the stock price by not buying any more or back in... leaving a smaller demand for the stock.

How much money does it take to retire
That depends very much on your health, and in cases where your health is poor, whether you have insurance.

You truly have no reading comprehension ability, do you?
Same and worse for Trump. And since that is the case, it cannot be a discriminating factor.

I don't know how many times we have to explain to you morons the difference between election fraud and voter fraud.
