  1. Re:Exploited thru JavaScript on Intel Replaces its Buggy Fix for Skylake PCs (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    It says that your machine is safe since you access it with a new version of Firefox/Chrome that is patched for this. Try using an older browser, also there are links to actual javascript on that page so if you know Javascript you can probably write your own "dump sensitive RAM" code.

    You must improve on your google-fu: https://react-etc.net/entry/ja...

  3. Since they know that you only played it for 20 minutes I can assure you that they marked you as NOT being a potential customer for a sequel. This is different from the theater screenings since the production companies there don't keep statistics of the number of people that leave the theater early (unless they try to claim a refund of course, not sure that they count that either though).

    No they have never paywalled everything. Where on earth did you get that from. Even going to their frontpage just now I can count 20 articles of which only 6 are paywalled. Every subscriber can create a free-link to share with non-subscribers, and each paywalled article goes free after only one week. WTF are you complaining about?

    Now you are confusing LWN with Slashdot. LWN never had headlines like that.

    Yep Tucows bought LWN in 2000 and gave it back to the original owners in 2002 https://lwn.net/Articles/26581... , strange though that you paid a lot of attention to Linux and completely missed LWN, your loss I guess.

    And all subscribers can create a free link to all paywalled articles if they want to share it with a group of people who are not subscribers so LWN is by far the best version of a paywall that I have every seen.

    You mean the air planes that are built by the round-earthers? They clearly have realtime photoshopping windows that shows a fake curvature.

    Under the GPL they are only obliged to make the source code available for the people who they distribute to (and if any of them requests the source code), if an employee takes it home and distributes these images to other people then that obligation falls on him/her and not Google.

  10. Re: Swedes try product because of marketing on Contraceptive App Natural Cycles Blamed For String of Unwanted Pregnancies (standard.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    The nominal fee for a doctor's visit in Sweden is equivalent of 10 EUR and you might have to make two appointments in order to get an abortion so it's more in the ballpark of 20 EUR than 70. Also there's a upper limit of 112 EUR per 12-month period so once you hit that every medical appointment is free for the remaining time.

  11. That says nothing about weather his fears are warranted or unwarranted though.

  12. AFAIK not really, they only concluded that he was treated unfairly, not that there where any legitimacy for his fears of this being a political black ops sting operation.

    Sure it wasn't the smiling part since that is also a sign of aggression that some how got reversed with just us humans.

  14. We do reject refugees if we determine that their fears are unwarranted.

    Actually Commodore had a CPU expansion board, the A2620, which was a MC68020 which had a 68851 MMU, for the A2000.

    Murder should be easier since it's hard to be murdered more than once. Same with infant mortality since the child can only die once. But even then there are probably some differences in how various countries calculate these numbers (i.e definition of infant, not counting certain deaths and so on) but those differences should be orders of magnitude less than what it is with rape and Sweden due to our special method of counting every instance and not only every perpetrator+victim.

    The lists are not done in order to compare countries
