    Intel. Or more likely whoever owns the IP for the management processor.

    No Microsoft is stopping Windows from running on old hardware. You can't run Windows 7 on the latest i7 or Xeon chips.

    I want a 5K display with a 16:10 ratio. Sadly the only panel with those requirements is the 15 year old IBM T221.

  5. At some point you reach the final evolution of something. Software people can't understand that. The design for a hammer hasn't changed in centuries.

  6. Why keep working on something that works as intended?

    I watched that episode just for the super hero's girlfriend. She is cute as hell.

  8. Performance plateau on PC Shipments Hit the Lowest Level In a Decade (cnbc.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    A dual core box from 10 years ago is still plenty of power for what most people are doing. It still browses fine and plays YouTube without any problems as well. No big shocker there. Sure we have cores into double digits but clock speeds aren't any faster. Software has become bloated at the same pace. Go back 20 years to 1997. Your browser renders pages as quickly today as it did back then.

  9. Yeah that could have been worded better. Signal hijacking or intrusion is a better word. The transmitter towers are line of sight from the studio so all you need is a transmitter and antenna to get in the way. I wish the Max Headroom guy would come forward and reveal the details. The statute is limitations is long up.

  10. Re:Russian Intelligence on Kaspersky Lab Has Been Working With Russian Intelligence (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    One of the most brilliant listening devices was designed by a Russian named Leon Theremin. Yeah the theremin guy invented this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  11. Read up on the AS/400 architecture. Makes much more sense than the 8088 kludge we've had for decades.

  12. Re:Why is this surprising? on The Oculus Rift Still Isn't Selling, In a Worrying Sign For VR (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    I played a racing sim with a steering wheel and pedals on the Oculus and going around the first bend on the track was super disorientating. Didn't know if I wanted to fall out of the left or right side of the chair. I guess you get used to that.

    The TSA still has a record of catching 0 terrorists. Of course when asked about numbers they clam up and mumble something about national security.

    That guy sounds like an angry weirdo who doesn't understand how to behave in a professional manner. He starts ranting about how terrible all women are and uses that to justify how women then run away from him.

  21. Sounds like you would fit in great in the middle east.

  22. Re:Advanced mode on The Life, Death, and Legacy of iPhone Jailbreaking (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I had Android devices for years but they always seemed slow and laggy compared to iPhones. Right now I have a 5C which was released in 2013 and still gets updates for the latest iOS. I had one Android phone and it only received ONE update for the OS.

    I'm not a fan of iTunes or Apple's method of managing mp3 files. When I ask about getting files on the phone without iTunes people tell me ridiculous things like upload to iCloud or stream the files through another service. I have the phone sitting on my desk with a USB cable and you're telling me streaming is the only solution? Say I'm at work and want to add some files. Even with iTunes installed it will want to sync the phone to what this computer has and wipe out whatever is currently on the phone. Dumb dumb dumb.

  23. Advanced mode on The Life, Death, and Legacy of iPhone Jailbreaking (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I wish iOS had an advanced mode you could enable. Take down the "walls" and let me run ssh to customize things to my liking.

  24. I see dead CPUs for sale on eBay but have never heard from anyone that had an actual CPU stop working.

  25. Been hearing that since January now.
