    SMT is Simultaneous multithreading, not Symmetrical multithreading. Possible naming confusion can be from SMP (Symmetric multiprocessing).

    Article is bullshit and bad translation. It is explained better here Transportstyrelsens IT-upphandling (in swedish, do your own translation)

    Windows10: still can't handle connecting and disconnecting additional monitors. Windows stuck off-screen or sized incorrectly, etc. And this is on a laptop that is used in two locations, so is always swapping between the *same* two external monitors.

    DisplayFusion solved a lot of those problems for me.

    It IS actually better than weak encryption. As weak encryption gives you the sense of security, it is in all practicality exactly as weak as no encryption. It doesn't take that much brain power to go from reading unencrypted traffic to unencrypt some other traffic. The "hard" part in fact, is to start reading the traffic at all.

  15. Funny thing ... on Here's Why Apple Rejected Your iOS App · · Score: 2

    Also, apps that report your location to emergency services are forbidden

    ... because that is *exactly* what this app does as it's only purpose. 112 is the emergency number in most of Europe, and the app is the official danish app for reporting your location to the emergency service.

    http://www.infoworld.com/article/2613504/microsoft-windows/microsoft-skips--too-good--windows-9--jumps-to-windows-10.html

    From the article:

    Apr 1, 2013
    [This is an April Fool's story. It is fiction, not fact even though it contains facts. --Ed.]
    If you've been looking forward to Windows 9, the OS that will fix what Windows 8 got wrong, you're in for a surprise: There will be no Windows 9. Instead, Microsoft announced it will proceed directly to Windows 10.

    It seems that joke wasn't so far fetched yet ;-)

  22. Re:I know the feeling. on A Black Day For Internet Freedom In Germany · · Score: 1

    I live in Denmark.

    As far as I am informed, only piratebay and childporn-sites is banned here. Piratebay can be reached through OpenDNS. The piratebay-banning was issues to one of the ISPs in a court case, and the other ISPs followed the ruling also, as it was evident that they would get the same order, if brought to court. The child-porn ban list is administered by a police task force, who send out lists of sites to the ISPs for banning. There has been a couple of false positives, but no issues, as they were unbanned again as fast as is became clear, that the site did not contain anything illegal.
    In Denmark, the legislation goes very wide in matters related to freedom of speach (f.ex. the case about the Muhammed-drawings), and the statement is, that I even if I do not agree with you, I am willing to fight for your right to express your opinion.

    Sorry for my bad english :)

  23. Use mechas for construction work?! on DIY 18-ft.-High Robotic Exoskeleton · · Score: 1

    To me construction og repair work in larger scale is the most obvios use for a mecha. Often cranes, bobcats, dumpers etc. is too static in their funktionality. Mechas being multi-funktional is idéal as a working machine.
