I always wondered about that (until 64-bit machines became common and made it moot.) But were there any 32-bit processors that brought out more than 32-bits worth of address lines to physical RAM?
Huh? Many 32 bit processors and especially those which supported some form of physical address extension supported more then 4 gigabytes of address space. That includes all Intel processors starting with the Pentium Pro which supported 64 gigabytes of physical address space. After that, practicality and market segmentation are usually what limited the maximum amount of memory. Microsoft held back greater than 4 gigabyte systems in the consumer space for years.
If it came from some other system it would be as likely to end up there as anywhere else. Well, as likely as anything ending up in an orbit is I guess.
This requires a momentum transfer with another large object so it is not as likely. Without a momentum transfer, it would be in a hyperbolic orbit which leaves the system.
Sure, there's all kinds of secret FISA courts and national security leverage the US government can use, but Tim Cook isn't going to the gulag for telling the FBI and NSA to bugger off.
What happened to Quest CEO Joseph Nacchio would never happen to Tim Cook.
Nice to see the paranoid delusions that was so pervasive on/. so long ago is still alive and kickin'.
The various NSA and domestic law enforcement leaks over the past couple of years have only convinced me that I was not paranoid enough. They have been doing everything I seriously considered and more.
Why would nVidia care frankly? Were the ones that made mad dosh during the various gold rushes the miners? Or the pickaxe salesmen, hotel owners and bankers?
nVidia primarily relies on graphics card sales for graphics applications. If electronic currency miners are running up the price of their products and creating shortages, it damages their reputation and marketing giving advantage to their competitors.
Can anybody argue after this that the right of the people to keep and bear arms is not infringed if carrying one legally gets you killed by the law for doing nothing except following the rules?
Sure, and the NRA did not say anything about Andrew Scott being killed either.
Maybe some of those ex-CIA, ex-NSA people aren't as "ex" as they would have you believe. And in top security positions they would have access to a lot of internal information. Then the CIA, NSA, FBI would only have to make a request for information when they want it to be refused. "Apple refuse to help the NSA unlock a suspected terrorist bomber's information."
An excellent first step for intelligence operations including adding exploits is to compromise the agency responsible for counter intelligence operations.
That assumes they leave the entire season up instead of doing something like only keeping the last five episode available.
Damn, and I was hoping they would all be available on Bittorrent but if only the last five are, then I guess I will have to subscribe to CBS' fiasco of a streaming service.
The citizen of the state has a nexus within the state. How is the state going to enforce this on businesses outside the state which have no nexus within the state?
If it remains that way, this would be only the second mass shooting with more than 3 casualties to occur in a non-gun free zone in the last 30 years.
While it's not legal to conceal a rifle in Virginia, it is legal to carry a concealed pistol (with permit).
What we do know though... is that a couple of good guys with a gun, stopped a bad guy with a gun.
DC has no reciprocity with Virginia and the Safe Passage part of the misnamed Firearm Owners Protection Act does not apply. Further under federal law, open carry without a permit issued by the state of Virginia is unlawful in Virginia no matter what Virginia law says.
So this event in Virginia was effectively a gun free zone. The only way a civilian could have had a firearm legally would be if they had a Virginia carry permit and had not left or planned to travel into DC.
I used wireless mice as soon as they became available up until a couple years ago when I finally gave up on them and went back to corded; wireless mice and keyboards are just too unreliable compared to their wired alternatives.
No one involved with the project had the foresight to consider the color of the balls. Black balls absorb a lot more sunlight and get hotter and increase water temperature, leading to more water evaporation. It would've been trivial to add white pigment to the plastic balls and the cost difference would've been negligible.
Black pigment is the easiest way to make plastic UV resistant.
"Let's all show up with wearing black masks and black clothes so the one who smashes stuff cannot be identified", "Whahhhhttttt. You are arresting all of us in black masks and black clothes."
My guess... the DoJ will pull everything can off the phones and then say they determined they had enough evidence they didn't need to analyze the phones and hence there's nothing for them to submit as part of discovery. As long as they don't directly reference something they found on a phone, they'll get away with it. It's easy enough to do. They find an incriminating email, they just subpoena the provider for the email. Same for text messages. They'll just have to prove how they knew that person's email/phone address without access to the phone. Given how most people splash their contact info all over the place now, it shouldn't be that hard.
There are two reasons I think they'll do this... the most obvious is they don't have to disclose how much they actually do know and second an analysis of what they could and couldn't pull off 100-150+ phones could give some indication of just how good (or bad) their phone cracking is and they don't want that known (either way)
Brady still applies and even for evidence that the investigators know and the prosecution does not but you are right, prosecutors routinely withhold exculpatory evidence. The latest dodge I have seen is prosecutors deciding that the evidence was not exculpatory so it did not need to be disclosed but how can the prosecutor know that? Well, it does not matter because there is no penalty for them if they were wrong. If the coin comes up heads, the prosecutor wins; if the coin comes up tails, then the defense loses.
Where is the justice in that? This is why plea deals should be unconstitutional in the U.S. Too many innocent people accepting convictions because the alternative is much worse.
Who said anything about justice? Trials are held in courts of law and not courts of justice. "Department of Justice" is an newspeak worthy misnomer.
Then they should charge everyone a flat rate for being connected to the grid to cover transmissions costs. Bing bang boom it's fair for everyone. So hard.
This is politically infeasible because it lacks previsions for rent seeking.
It rained 70 inches this year here in California. We're well aware of rain. Clouds and rain do not block all light or even most of it. Solar panels do in fact generate energy while it's raining. Not quite as much as on a sunny day, but that just means you need a few more of them.
Typically 3 times the area or more is needed during overcast conditions. When I experimented with this long ago for NiCd battery charging, if it was overcast I did not even bother deploying the solar cells.
At least along the coast including the Los Angeles metropolitan area, California gets what I call "Oregon" weather during winter for a couple weeks at time where it sort of drizzles and is continuously overcast. I am not so sure about the inland areas.

They have incredible troubles with their satellites. Why would they think they can launch a human and have them survive?
Why would they expect to launch humans and expect them to survive? They have not in the past.
The tailings, the boring machine, and the tunnel it digs probably cause cancer also.

Ebay and Amazon are "affiliates" which may be in the state. They could drop their Washington state affiliates which is what Amazon initially did.

AFAWK... this was not a gun free zone.

"I can respect that these people are wrestling this power from the hands of media conglomerates and making it a commercial service."
Yes, people subverting the course of democracy for personal profit should be respected.
Like Democrats and Republicans?

Since SSE2 is one of the requirements Microsoft has been making, they have my sympathy ... not.

It works for the police.

In fact, the whole reason Musk started SpaceX is so he can launch a mission to capture and retrieve the sun for his own solar energy purposes.
Hmm, strip mining the sun for helium to power our nuclear fusion reactors. Of course they will go at night.
Musk is going to ruin the Sun's ecology!

People should not be working in winter anyway.
