There's a difference between "openly available encryption" and "illegal openly available encryption". Yes, the difference is legislation, and yes, it does matter.
Very true. Best Buy used to complain that people used their store as a showroom then went home and ordered from Amazon. That blew my mind. A retailer complaining that people come into the store? That's half the battle already and Amazon was helping them do it! It is good to see them at least thinking about why someone would rather buy from Amazon than in the store.
The last few times I visited Best Buy, it was to get something that I needed immediately but invariably, what they just showed examples of what I did *not* want so I would end up ordering online and waiting. Best Buy's selection was large but too uniform.
Were the elections in 2011 and 2012 that brought Mohammad Morsi to power not free, fair and legitimate?
They were legitimate but neither free nor fair:
In the first round, with a voter turnout of 46%, the results were split between five major candidates: Mohamed Morsi (25%), Ahmed Shafik (24%), Hamdeen Sabahi (21%), Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh (17%), and Amr Moussa (11%), while the remaining 2% were split between several smaller candidates. The elections set the stage for the divisions that were to follow, along Islamist and secular lines, and those opposed to and those supporting the former political elite. Islamist candidates Morsi and Fotouh won roughly 42% of the vote, while the remaining secular candidates won 56% of the vote.
When Indians have a problem with their iDevices, they get shunted to a Bay Area call center whose people speak in thick California accents and who insist on trying multiple approaches based on their training, rather than following comfortable scripts in the manner that local people are used to.
So actually even though the memory footprint is larger, using separate processes also makes chrome more swap-friendly, which means the kernel can page-in/page-out the tabs more efficiently.
This is true except on processors vulnerable to Meltdown which have to trash the page tables. They change was needed but it moved the problem to the operating system. At least it was feasible.
Browsers should be using different processes for different websites anyway, as a general security measure, and I believe they have been aiming to do that already. Since Spectre only allows reading memory within the same process, I don't understand the panic here (though I guess it's different for virtual machines).
It is a good thing each web page only loads scripts from one domain.
No more slow CPU, no more extra RAM used, no more OS software to protect from CPU security flaws. Back to fast and secure CPU design work.
Anyone have a design time line for when this will all be fixed in the CPU again?
So programs will maintain two different codebases for processors which are vulnerable and processors which are not? That will not happen for a long time even assuming that Specter is solvable. At best the impact on processors immune to Meltdown will be minimized.
Centrally planned economies and government subsidies often go horribly wrong in all kind of unintended ways.
But they go right in all kinds of intended ways. If you are not rich after becoming a legislator, then you are doing it wrong.
Let's stop subsidizing anything instead of thinking ourselves wise and just spending the subsidies elsewhere. It sounds good in theory, but once you legitimize a practice you have to remember that some of the people who will be deciding what to subsidize in the future will not sure your beliefs or may be quite opposed to them.
I always wondered why our wars in the middle east have not been considered a subsidy of the fossil fuel industry.
I don't know whether this is an actual issue as opposed to some anti-wind hit piece, but there's a much easier solution assuming that this is an actual problem. Add the cost of the eventual decommissioning into the tower when it's being constructed. If that makes it completely unviable financially then amortize the cost over the lifetime of the tower and have part of the turbines production be set aside to pay for its decommissioning.
Do you mean like how Congress required the nuclear power industry to pay taxes over the operating life of each nuclear power plant for eventual decommissioning and storage of nuclear waste by putting the money where Congress could spend it on other things? Sure, why not? It worked so well every other time this was the solution.
Lots of people here seem to be willing to believe outright lies in order to justify the thought that Trump was less bad than Hillary. The thing is they have an irrational hatred for Hillary and won't vote for her no matter what.
I will just pick one thing; unless you want to argue that the FBI lied, all it took for me was reading the FBI report about the death of Vince Foster.
How about if you don't like the candidates then you get over your ass and support someone better.
Having personally watched election shenanigans, I know that supporting anybody other than the two major party candidates is futile. The illusion of choice is another form of control.
How should it work? If the number of people who vote "none of the above" is greater than the difference between the top two candidates then it should force a new election with new candidates.
How should it work? Puree the candidates and feed them to Congress.
Not voting is effectively endorsing the winner. You don't care who wins. When people quote these figures they are implying that the non-voters oppose the winner, but that is not the case. If you don't vote, you are equally responsible for the result as those who vote for the winner.
Not voting is not an endorsement of anything. Neither of the viable candidates were acceptable. The only thing they are guilty of is not being persuasive enough.
If you want more representative results, then fix the voting system. Until then, we can all go to hell together.
Was there no promotion of digital terrestrial TV in the USA? Here in the UK there was a big push under the "Freeview" brand - tens of channels (including a few HD). Works well, if you like TV - I don't watch much TV (either live or streamed), but my parents do, and it's good enough that they cancelled their pay TV subscription.
Sure there was promotion and they even subsidized converter boxes but the broadcast footprint was so much smaller that to 2/3rd of the potential viewers, it was all lies.

There is no such thing as "cheap talent."
Not according to the guys with MBAs. Only managers have talent of course and each employee is a black box with fixed production output measurable by Excel and MS Project. Just ask any of them? If they don't add value then go cheap and cash in
If you are not sales, then you are overhead.
The entire 'Sweden' thing is fake.
The only plan is to get him on Swedish soil so they can "lend" him to the USA.
Sweden would never do something like that.

Oh, ok. Yea, they would.

I think legislation is a great idea. The sooner users are compiling from 1st amendment protected source code, the better.
Here in Canada we only get amber alerts (which I donâ(TM)t mind) and as a cord cutter, the zombie apocalypse could begin and I would have no idea lol
The zombies can wait. I need my sleep now.
The FBI has done that with cable ISP repair workers as well.

ABC news reported that Paul Manafort pleaded guilty to 5 charges of manslaughter, which is pretty specific, damaging, and completely fake. Is ABC news a "fake news" site?
I have always thought so along with their contemporaries.

Whoa dude! That is totally bogus!
Capable of repetition, yet evading review

I guess porn leads the way in cutting edge innovation for more than just the obvious reason :-/
The original developers should have known; always practice safe hex.
Well, there is still competition as who will have their fixed CPUs first..
If Spectre can be fixed which is not a given. Somehow they have to prevent speculative execution within the same process from altering CPU state.
Without a time machine, how do you prevent speculative loads in untaken branches without preventing speculative loads in taken branches?
design fix all this?
No more slow CPU, no more extra RAM used, no more OS software to protect from CPU security flaws. Back to fast and secure CPU design work.

It's definitely an anti-wind hit piece. Can you name any structures today that have their tear down cost in escrow anywhere?
Nuclear Power Plants
They also pay ahead of time for the US government to take care of nuclear waste.

Just go back to those.
You could actually tell when you pressed it too, since it moved 2 mm instead of 0.25 mm.
I don't understand why Apple is making their laptop keyboards have a different sensation from their desktop keyboards. It's incongruous and annoying.
They will fix that soon enough by fixing their desktop keyboards. Super thin desktop keyboards will be courageous.
