I want 10% of all gain across the board no matter the source of income. Rock assholes like him will finally be paying their fair share. 25% of any income sent overseas or earned overseas to penalize trying to hide it in the cayman islands.
It's called a tax dodge. and anyone who knows taxes and finances knows it. Oracle is just too big to get caught at it, but a guy without billions will get slapped in Federal prison for trying to pull that stunt.
"Marshall Rose, one of the creators of the SNMP protocol, has a beef with current home automation gadgets: it's very, very difficult to get them to talk to each other, and you often end up needing a pile of remote controls to operate them."
I have 1 remote to control every gadget in the house including sonos. It's called Crestron, but AMX can do it as well (The toy stuff called Control 4 can not) He really needs to learn more about integration because there have been solutions out there for decades.
Certainly not in the miniscule space that is left over in a Bios chip. A lot of the claims he makes are based on things that cant exist. You dont have a ton of space in the bios flash left over after the bios is loaded, and the virus cant completely replace the bios and work for any motherboard, Hell even the open source bios guys have problems writing a public bios that works on more than a very tiny handfull of motherboards.
So the virus needs to be written by an expert that knows how every single computer ever designed will work and it compensates for every single chipset in existence in every configuration..
The fact the article does not give out ANY details at all makes it highly fishy. Not even details on the computers them selves such as what bios, what chipset, what motherboard make and model, etc....
"News flash: Loudspeakers and microphones, being analog devices, do not (and cannot) have any particular "cutoff" frequency:"
Yes they do, and it's called a "roll off" because it's a logarithmic reduction in efficiency of the device for the frequency. every single speaker and mic manufacturer publishes the graphs showing you the natural design roll off.
No there is NO plausibility, Please, Please stop adding credibility to this bullshit in this made up bit of fiction.
None of the electronics in your computer is designed for ultrasonic, and in fact it's freaking filtered out to get rid of problems. I dont care if the chips can do 99ghz, the analog components for filtering on the input and output significantly attenuate it, then you have the fact that the speakers can not generate it nor the microphones having the ability to receive it.
Anyone with even a 101 level in analog electronics or audio design knows that what he is claiming is 100% impossible and has no plausibility. anyone can verify it with a cheap Oscilliscope and a ramp generator. This "virus" cant unsolder and change components.
none of the audio analog circuitry on the frontend will let it pass. Go ahead, look at the output of your best soundcard and a ramp generator and watch it roll off rapidly on the scope when you go above 35khz.
Pretty darn impossible, you have to do significant mods to the circuitry on a laptop mic to have it receive Ultrasonic audio. Then you have the issue that most laptop batteries lack the ability to create sounds above 40K, So unless this "virus" comes with nanobots that modify the circuits, It's pretty much a bunch of BS.
I tried many times to use computer speakers and mics as a poor mans Ultrasonic system. you can see on a scope easily that you get a 24db roll off on the high end.
Because the ones that are asshats and assholes are the ones that are "Better than everyone else" and make sure they broadcast it.
Guess what there are asshats and assholes elsewhere as well, but IT seems the ones in first class are so entitled they make a bigger fuss about it.
THAT is my problem, Entitled assholes that dont deserve to be in first class. OH! an answer.... use your cellphone and get kicked back to the seat at the back next to the bathroom and that person get's your 1st class seat.
China is a stone throw away, Why are you paying to buy china made items in the US to be shipped to you? Buy from frigging china directly, hell take a weekend boat ride and buy up as much as you can fit in your suitcase!
Just because you guys are dumb and not doing 3D gaming with active shutter glasses. The faster is giving me finally immersive 3d with a lot less puke inducing lag.
1080p on my 32" monitor with 3d running really does need SLI and those ungodly fast video cards.
All cellphone towers by design aim the antennas towards the ground, this is how they can have multiple cellphone towers that dont cause issues. When you install it you tip them down to point at the ground that is 2/3 way between that tower and the next tower that way you have overlapping coverage but do not have coverage that causes phasing problems (picket fencing is a major problem to cause data issues) It's how the cellphone network has been designed from day one. you always have an antenna angle that shoots the signal into the ground at a reference point.
The angle is extreme in urban areas where there is dense cellphone tower populations to attempt and handle the call load, you make "smaller" cell tower footprints by aiming the signal even more at the ground.
does not work. They still auto complete from history and other sources. Already been down that road and had google devs tell me, "nobody sane would want to turn that off"
This is not an issue as Cellphone tower beam the signal to the earth not up in the sky. I've been in a private jet at 40,000 feet, even with the phone stuck to the window, NO service.

"They are parasites, parasites with control, but parasites."
This is the biggest truth out there. Couple this with the rules for profits and you have the financial mess that all companies generate.
There are a LOT of grey market shops that sell NEXUS tablets and other brand name items that are made right there.

It was the only one ever in the wild and it did not spread very far because it was destructive.
And fit it in a 1mb payload.

You dont have to desolder it, there are clips that let you read the chip unless it's a crappy BGA chip, then you need to do a lot more.
Reading bios chips is not hard at all and is done all the time.

Herp Derp much? You expect corporate users to do that? Have you ever even met a user?

And you get a very large man searching your cavities later for causing a panic.
Still does not work, please feel free to try it. I've been down this road several times.
You never tried it. Go ahead, and see how it still auto completes. I already have that unchecked.
does not work. They still auto complete from history and other sources. Already been down that road and had google devs tell me, "nobody sane would want to turn that off"
Yet they wont let me disable the god forsaken auto complete in the address bar. I completely ditched Chrome because of that damned evil annoyance.
