My point is that the driver shouldn't be allowed to access memory it doesn't need access to, whether it's on the bus or in the main memory. I'm not trying to tell you about the driver. If Microsoft wants to provide value, that's a place they can get involved.
There's tools that can detect them. Do you have a tool to find god? Preferably in a repeatable way that anyone can use
Sure. I have a rock right here that detects god. If I throw it into the air and it turns into a bird, god is real. So far, there's been no detection events. Anyone can replicate this test.
So the hardware drivers must, at minimum, have access to and control of your hardware - and therefore all your data.
No. Each individual driver needs access to and control of one piece of hardware. You're grossly misstating the case.
Yes if you design a system where (really slow) device drivers run as separate processes, you could use the MMU to limit which *memory* it has access to, but still drivers have control of hardware.
Um, yeah, that's what the IOMMU is for. All modern PCs have them.
Hardware drivers and the kernel require powerful capabilities - and are responsible for ENFORCING security policy. Since they control security, they can't be controlled by it.
Can't the drivers be constrained by the combination of MMU and IOMMU?
Man has sinned through industrialization, and the price to be paid is the destruction of our civilization.
Man has been stupid and greedy, and our short-sightedness is having negative results. It's physics, which is open source, and not worship.
While this is "good news" on a temporary basis, this is bad news on the long term...
Everything is "bad news". Everything! It doesn't matter what happens, it'll be twisted to "I told you so!"
No, it does matter. "Banning" (reducing production of) CFCs was effective at permitting restoration of the ozone layer. For all that it's horribly annoying, the CARB has been highly effective at increasing air quality in California. When things work, we acknowledge them. But when there's a problem, we acknowledge that, too. Hiding doesn't help.
Science says "The glacier is growing again, I wonder what is making that happen since my hypothesis is that it should be shrinking."
We already knew it was cyclical, but also that it was tending to lose mass. Now it's grown at "about" the same rate at which it was shrinking, although we don't know what "about" means because this article wasn't written (or perhaps just not edited) by someone who thought that was important. This article is hardly worth arguing over.
tell me more about russian collusion the last 2 years.
My prediction is that the report says that Mueller uncovered insufficient evidence to prove [or seek conviction on the basis] that Trump was personally involved with collusion with Russians. He keeps meeting with Putin and not letting us know what was said, and he destroys evidence regularly. If he's so innocent, why is he so against there being any evidence to back up his good intentions?
You know very well that comparing black powder to cartridges is not referring to black powder "paper cartridges", and that the "cartridges" in this discussion isn't.
They do the same job, albeit one much better than the other. That's why they have the same name.
I can relate the fact that after decades of real-world use, nuclear power plants have resulted in fewer human deaths per TWh than any other source. All you have is fear, uncertainty, and doubt about things you're afraid of because you don't understand them.
I understand full well what the issues are. For example, the issue that the storage system we planned to use in the facility we built (dry cask) often fails. And I understand that once aquifers are contaminated, there's no way to clean them. I understand that your fact is irrelevant on the time scales that we're talking about. I fear these things specifically because I do understand them, and I know you're being a disingenuous douchebag for the same reason.
We have nuclear power plants for the same reason we have military conflict? That doesn't make any sense at all.
It only makes sense if you know how to read, and pay attention. Which part of the comparison did you find unclear?
The reasons behind military conflicts are extremely varied; from ancient tribal disputes to religious strife to resource scarcity and dozens of others.
They all boil down to profit. Who gets the money, who gets the land (and all wealth is derived from the land), etc.
it started growing again at about the same rate in the past two years,
About the same rate?
At the same rate, means 1.8 miles and thickening 130 feet annually.
Yes, that's what "at the same rate" would mean. However, I didn't ask that, because the article didn't say that. I asked what "about the same rate" means, because that's what the article said. Your comment has exactly as much useful information as the article: none.
The Jakobshavn glacier around 2012 was retreating about 1.8 miles and thinning nearly 130 feet annually. But it started growing again at about the same rate in the past two years,
About the same rate? OK, so what WAS the rate of replenishment? TFA never bothers to say. Why is our time being wasted with this zero-information tripe?
If it's not cost efficient, why do 450 nuclear power plants exist worldwide with another 60 under construction?
The same reason we still have military conflict — the broken window fallacy. Someone is making money, and they don't give a shit about the rest of us so long as they get theirs.
And percussive caps... Unless you want a flintlock? The reality is that a firearm can be disassembled to the point where the pieces are unrecognizable (I know, I have many of them).
I've got several, too. They might be unrecognizable to an untrained [read: typical] TSA agent, but no semi-automatic pistol's pieces break down to anything not immediately recognizable to anyone who has cleaned a gun before. So why not a flintlock?
See, it's totally subjective, and has to do with what you're used to. Calling it "Lego" means you're playing with BRANDNAME. But calling it "Legos" means you are playing with BRANDNAME bricks. Personally, I don't play with a brand, I play with its products.
For those that do not know the reason why banana candy doesn't taste like bananas? Is because it DOES taste like bananas, it just tastes like bananas that were once the banana you got in the stores that has since nearly been wiped out by disease.
Nope. Banana candy tastes the way it does because it's cheap. The chemical that gives bananas their primary flavor is trivially synthesized, and in fact it was one of the first artificial flavors ever developed. But it's not the only flavor in a banana, so they don't taste the same.
But the are all ip 68 or whatever waterproof. Well I have yet to have a phone die of water.
I'm pretty sure that sweat killed my Nexus 4's digitizer. But really, IP68 is a pretty low bar, any phone which can't manage it at least for the expected service life is probably crap. You can get there with a coating, and little else.
A gun is just a tube, a few rubberbands, and a small nail. The part that is hard to build anywhere, and is the most important part, is the ammunition.
If your gun is that primitive, then why not have it be a black powder weapon that shoots balls? Then your ammo is just anything spherical and closely-sized. Flintlocks aren't even considered weapons in kit form, you can order them right through the mail direct to your door.
I'm gonna concur with GP poster here. I grew up calling them legos, among kids who called them legos, and I don't care what Interlego AG or whatever they're called these days wants us to call them. I don't get offended by people who insist on calling them Lego, unless they get all snippy with me — and then it's not with their choice of word, but with the snippyness.

For the same reason that cartridges replaced black powder weapons in general: convenience.
Powder and ball wrapped in paper is called...?

It's revenge. And you don't influence this by computer games, movies or anything else outside the school. You influence this by fighting bullying.
And also fair application of existing rules by the administration. Although, to be fair, unfair application of those rules is a kind of bullying.

Nuclear is already the safest form of electrical power generation ever implemented by mankind.
You can't make that claim until all of the waste has cooled. Until then, it can still kill people.
Refusing to back nuclear due to safety concerns is based purely on a provably inaccurate assessment of risk. Provably with 65 years of real-world data
65 years out of thousands? Whoopee.

The short answer is no.
The longer answer is also no, but with more detail. It's still typical to use social media to connect with audiences, because that's where they are.
Do you happen to know the name of this compound? I was thinking bananadine, but it turns out that's something different.
It's not bananaphone, either ;)
I searched Wikipedia for "artificial banana flavor" and it redirected me to Isoamyl acetate.
The problem is you've only tasted Cavendish
Your problem is that you make unfounded assumptions. I've been to Panama and CR, I've had lots of kinds of bananas.
Legos sounds stupid, like "meccanos" or "sheeps."
Or "maths"

How easy is it to run apps made for "just 'Linux'" on an Android device, which uses Linux as its kernel?
Pretty easy, if it's rootable, and if someone's done a build compatible with your CPU. If it's not rootable, it's a PITA.
