And if it's a left-wing nutjob, it's swept under the rug by the mainstream news media (who will have been speculating that it was a right-wing nutjob for the 24 hours before that).
I can remember back in the day with other people using WP6 for Windows how they would tell it to print and it would get confused about which text to put where on the page. I'm sure that was all Microsoft's fault, right? Or how the serious users of WP for DOS would use the show codes mode all the time, which doesn't go very well with WYSIWYG editing. Some of WP6's problems were entirely WP's fault.
And furthermore, in America there must be only one single winner in everything. You are never allowed to have multiple people complete some challenge and share in the victory.
You know, that's one of the things I like about anything with Gordon Ramsay in it. He's willing to declare double winners and double losers if he thinks the competitors deserve it.
You're going to feel real stupid when it's got something a lot more complicated than a simple mass-storage volume with autorun crap on it. A USB device can pretend to be a keyboard, among other things. Hopefully there are no bugs in the USB kernel stuff... buffer overflows / bad data in USB configuration data is one of the early ways the PS3 was broken. If you try it first on an ARM CPU embedded Linux board that doesn't use HID devices, that's probably the safest way to start.
Autorun functionality pisses me off anyway.
I've got to agree with you there. There's a registry key change to turn it off completely. I did that to my XP computer at work. It's a bit annoying that I don't even get an explorer window to it and have to go through My Computer, but it's better than having that stupid "what do you want to do with THIS one?" dialog in my face all the time, which takes almost as long anyhow to recognize which option is which before I click.
Probably none of them . . . because they should be typed with spaces in between? (this is a rule I rarely follow because it's more trouble than it's worth)
Combine all those and you have a car that’s smart enough to guide itself during predictable, low-speed conditions.
Combine all those and you have a driver that's stupid enough to yak away on the cell phone and freak out when the car gets confused enough to need the driver to take over. (In other words, a situation like the Air France crash, only without as much altitude or passengers.)
Also, check the latitude. Texas is at the same latitude as North Africa. The southern tip of France is about at the same latitude as Chicago. England and Ireland are at the same latitude as Canada, but have the Gulf Stream to keep them decently warm.
Come over here to Texas right now and try it without air conditioning for a day or two. As for the east coast, they've got a bit of a heat wave going on over there right now. (Babies... we set a record for consecutive days over 100F in central Texas last year.) At least all the H1Bs from India must feel right at home here in Austin.
Bullshit. Literal strings exist in the RO section and can trivially be placed into ROM. A literal string is always const char *. Here he is assigning a const char * to a char *. The latter type does nothing to affect the literal string placement in standard C.
Then don't ever try to program a Harvard address space architecture like AVR. Unless you specify otherwise, all string literals get copied at start-up from the ROM address space into the RAM address space so they can use compatible pointers. That doesn't work very well when you only have a couple kilobytes of RAM, and want to use a lot of read-only data. To work around this, you have to use a few non-standard extensions to have pointers that reference ROM address space, and pass them to routines that know they refer to ROM data.
And even without that, compilers for embedded programming know that an initialized "static const" global goes in the read-only (.text) segment, not the read-write (.data) segment.
Wake me up when they find something that can infect a Mac connected to the internet when no is one using it. You know, kind of like "install windows, connect to internet, pwned in 15 minutes"?
Anyone can do a user-mode trojan that says "PLEEZE INSTAWL ME! I'M A UPGRAYD!"
I expect it to continue to flail aimlessly in the same way it has for years. (Former employee, going to start selling my old ESPP shares when it hits 20 again just so I won't have to care anymore.)
What I read in the linked thread yesterday (when this was still in firehose) is that if you disconnect from the internet, the manual upgrade option becomes available. Then you "upgrade" to an earlier version of the firmware, remembering to then uncheck the "automatic updates" option.

I still have a Mac 128K box somewhere up in the attic. The idea was to have something to ship it in if I ever needed to, but, you know...

I'm waiting for Netcraft to confirm it.
Saying that a brominated flame retardedant is a harmful toxin!
Just ask your nearest SNES console what it thinks about brominated flame retardants and watch it turn yellow with rage!
A true nerdy geek would wait for the capsule to go all the way through and "rescue" it... for SCIENCE!

Also issue where I live is at night I can not keep windows open without the fear of some creeper breaking in.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS-BOOM! Damn creepers.
In other places we only have to worry about mosquitoes.

I'm pretty sure that $70M is a per seat cost. IIRC, Crew Dragon is supposed to be about $140M per flight, but you can put 7 on board.

Better restaurants have their menus done in PDF. (which sucks less, but still sucks)
and update after update after update after update after update to fix the security holes.
Now if only we can get Microsoft to get rid of .Net. (Half of my last Microsoft Tuesday update was .Net patches.)
Will Cisco's stock go up or down because of this?

That's just his cover story. Biden, on the other hand...
...are you sure they weren't just in a fold of fat, next to the Colecovision?
I certainly hope my phone isn't going to kill me!
I'll accept that when the machines can throw up like a real human drummer.
