It still might not be the end of Moore's remarkable observation, though. The report adds that processors could still continue to fulfill Moore's Law with increased vertical density.
Nope, high performance logic is already limited by the ratio of power density to surface area and it has been this way for almost a decade now. Increasing vertical density just makes this worse.
Cite? If they can seize property, why can't they compel decryption? The whole basis of their argument (accepted by the courts) is that the constitution doesn't apply at the border.
Compelling decryption is ambiguous because of the testimonial nature of requiring someone to reveal a password or knowledge of a password and protection from the 5th amendment. There is no restriction on decrypting seized data if they can.
As a practical manner, enforcing this would also require proof that the subject knows the password and there are ways for the subject to prevent this. People sometimes joke about self destructing passwords because state can always be restored but with careful planning by somebody who wants to retain their privacy, this can be defeated.
The endgame for this is government restrictions on encryption which require key escrow or recovery. Criminals of course will be exempt.
No, better to give them something to do and if you not travel with your phone, they will consider that suspicious anyway. Might as well fuck them openly with encryption.
When I had AT&T U-Verse, running a VPN from the St. Louis area to the west coast was *faster* with lower latency and more reliable than the native path. It was even faster for contacting endpoints in the local area.
As far as I was able to tell, AT&T runs various transparent proxies and maybe routes all traffic through a central location for easy government access. The encrypted VPN traffic would be too obtuse for this.
That does not explain why the areas in the US which are denser than areas outside the US have worse internet service. The distribution matters; it is not like the US lacks for dense metropolitan areas.
They are only slaves to the choices they freely made. Ranging from where they live, what they did to educate themselves and how far they are willing to travel to get a job that isn't at the neighborhood Burger King.
You left out their choice of who their parents are.
You can be sure that even if there were not technical reasons under control of Sony which would prevent this, part of the agreement allowing games to be made for the PS4 includes requiring Sony's approval for such a feature.
Like the other poster said, cross platform play is only an advantage to the console with less market share. It does not matter if Sony would gain from this even if they gained more than Microsoft; what matters is that Sony has all of a smaller market. To Sony, good will means fucking their customers.
Patients are horrendously unreliable. The classic is hospital surgery. "Have you had anything to eat since last night." "No, just a bacon and egg McMuffin on the way in this morning." *
Also, this reminds me of some engineering support conversations I have heard:
Engineer, "So exactly when did the Interocitor stop functioning?" Customer, "At about 1 PM." . . . much back and forth . . . Engineer, "Did anything else happen at 1 PM?" Customer, "Oh, that was when lightning struck the building." Engineer, "..."

*actual conversation I heard while waiting for surgery. The person didn't think don't eat meant don't eat.
I am probably atypical. The actual conversation I had while being wheeled into surgery right before Christmas went:
Anesthesiologist, "When was the last time you ate or drank something?" Me, "I have not eaten or drank for more than 48 hours." Anesthesiologist, "Perfect."
A couple of minutes later:
Me, "And doctor, if you find an alien embryo inside of me, just use your best judgement."
AT&T U-Verse tried to get me to upgrade my router when I complained about them blocking IPv6. Doing so would have added an additional monthly charge for no benefit to me.
And why would I ever trust the ISP router anyway? I use my own FreeBSD based router between my network and their router which proved to be a good idea since when they did firmware updates, they also reset their router settings enabling WiFi and leaving it open.
When I recently changed to Charter because the AT&T transfer caps were just too much on top of blocking IPv6, Charter asked if I needed a router and I said, "Nope." The switch over took all of 5 seconds while I moved the network cable and my FreeBSD router used DHCP to grab the routable address from the cable modem and that is all it is, a cable modem.
The worst part about it is, if I called Comcast to report the outage (and implicitly, to bitch at them for going down yet again), they INSISTED upon wasting my time making me reboot my computer and other troubleshooting steps, even though they could have known within a matter of seconds whether my cable modem was even reachable.
This is why as far as my ISP knows, my computer runs FreeBSD which is technically true since that is what my exposed firewall/router runs.
You guys need to open up that market and vote with your feet!
You are talking about a people who cannot even open up the market for politics. If you are not one of the two political parties or do not vote for the two political parties, then you do not count.
How many politicians does Verizon have to buy to get these perks? Both of them.
We've been having the same problem with computers for years. Sure, you "buy" the hardware - but then all of the software that makes it usable is proprietary and you are at the mercy of the vendor.
It is actually worse than this. Back in the late 1980s, manufacturers started including various types of non-volitile memory which has a low operating life. My favorite was storing firmware in battery backed up SRAM where the battery was not replaceable. The modern way is to store firmware in NAND Flash which has a retention time of months to years.
So your guaranteed rental time is limited to the warranty period. After that it is up to the good will of the manufacturer.

So just like in Quatermass and the Pit, we are the martians.
Why give any explanation? They do not have to explain anything to you.
Ask if you are free to go. Ask if you are under arrest. Then identify yourself and assert your 4th, 5th, and 6th amendment rights.
Warrior under foot of enemy give name, standing, and number, and not else.

Carry a bunch of extra storage devices filled with random data. It is not your fault they are wasting their time.
No, better to give them something to do and if you not travel with your phone, they will consider that suspicious anyway. Might as well fuck them openly with encryption.
And the dark matter explanation is testable.

And most politicians. And most judges. And most lawyers. And both parties.
The only people who do not support civil assets forfeiture do not matter.
Shadowrun? More like Paranoia.
Exactly, they just declined to prosecute.
Oh, and it also is not unlawful if the government does it.

bye you tax evading piece of shit. why contribute to the state that's services enabled you to have a nice retirement fund in the first place, right?
California can fix this anytime they want. Just implement a leaving California tax.

Properly cared-for ag equipment can easily last and be productive, money making machines for 50 years.
Not anymore. The non-volatile memory in this equipment is not even going to last that long.
Hey look, an Internet tough guy...
The repo man shows up with the Sheriffs dept, are you still planning on using that 12 gauge shotgun then?
If this is likely, imitate Carl Drega.
