They were modded -1 because they're dead fucking wrong. The IME runs AT ALL TIMES IF PRESENT.
Nope, not all of it. Many parts of it have to be expressly enabled in the BIOS. Just like I have a Linux system with X installed, doesn't mean the X server is always running. IME does more than out of band management. The IME components that run all the time are mostly related to platform power management which have existed since before the Core days under different names. You disable out of band management features in the BIOS then you can poke and prod on your network card all you won't. It will be dead.
It's a completely overblown risk by people who don't understand that it was a common feature most security conscious enterprises used to pay a premium for.
So if you have a foreign TA who is hard to understand, it sucks, but it sucks equally for everybody and you aren't getting good value for your education money.
No it doesn't suck equally. English native speakers are much better at dealing with broken english than english non-native speakers unless that english is equally broken. E.g. the language traits of slavic language speakers speaking english as a second language are similar in style due to comparison with their own language. They can understand each other fine. English speakers can understand them with difficulty. Romance language speakers with english as a second language think they can't form a sentence which contains a thought.
The differences between them are incredible.
It doesn't suck in a way that explains the abundance of foreign students.
I didn't say it did. Quite the opposite. I was only calling out language as having nothing to do with it in the slightest.
my point was that I it is evident enough that even a six-year old child could understand this concept entirely well.
Water is wet. Now go about the process of explaining exactly why that is, without going through the fact that it is while doing so. In order to understand something one must first characterise it in detail.
So tell me, how does your six year old self characterise the theta waves that represent wakefulness? Tell me how your six year old self showed that the effect has a universal form on memory, categorisation, as well as fine motor skills. Tell me about how your six year old self understood the concept that the selective spiking responses of individual neurons are not only attenuated, and delayed, but also lengthened.
Your six year old self knew jack shit, and unfortunately carried that through to his adult self as evident by attempting to blindly shit on other people's hard work as "mind-numbingly obvious". Get a job.
Implying that the type of people who consider using revenge porn are the kind of considerate and level headed thinkers that wouldn't ever take photos without soemones permission in the first place.
I do. But I wouldn't use their service anyway because matching hashes is utterly frigging useless. Mind you this from Facebook who's copyright infringement detection system can be defeated by altering the speed of the clip by 1%
Oh look a six year old neuro surgeon. Have you cured cancer yet? I mean if you knew this when you were six you should have countless peer reviewed papers to your name by now along with a very detailed knowledge of the inner workings of the brain.
If your spare satellite program is being ran in such an utterly inefficient and wasteful way, there is some real sense to shutting the program down. Especially with alternates coming on-line within a few years.
By scrapping a very expensive satellite rather than fixing how the program is run? And replacing them with ones that aren't able to do the job?
Don't you idiots know anything? Vinyl is where it's at in 2017. GTFO with this new-old cassette bullshit.
Fuckin' Millennials. Can't even do pointless hipster retro right.
Vinyl is mainstream rubbish. The millennials are just ahead of the curve with how to hipster. By the time your generation realises they are hipstering something else, it stop being hipster.
Yes, because the threat of job lose always keeps people from doing stupid things.
Facetious, but yes, mostly this works quite well. On the flip side the man desperate with a criminal past will likely just drop off your delivery, look over your shoulder at your nice TV, and then throw a brick through your window after you go to work.
Oversight stops crimes of opportunity. Nothing stops pre-meditated crime.
You think the cost of ownership is just the price you pay when you buy it. How cute.
You're right. Thanks for pointing out how absurd your idea actually is. You've just changed your point from cost which the EV wins, to lifecycle cost which the EV wins, to how much you like to wave your dick around in style.
An alarm that is untargetted is useless in a situation of chaos, it only serves a purpose in a generally organised and peaceful time.
That is one of the biggest issues facing industry right now, how to best reduce the alarms people get to a point where they actually make sense when something is going wrong.
I don't think anyone was in any doubt in the 5 min leading up to the collision that they needed to do something. The problem was the lack of information they had about what they were doing combined with the actions they were taking were making the situation worse.
Wow, look out people. Someone has some mind blowing arguments here.
If you think advertising doesn't work on people, or that it only works on the 'incredibly weak minded', and above all if you think that it doesn't work on you, then you are delusional.
No I'm actually in marketing. Advertisement provides two distinct emotional responses in people. One works to make someone attracted to a concept, that only works on the truly weak minded if you don't already have a pre-existing desire. E.g. You could see an advertisement for sharp knives right now, chances are it will have zero effect on you. Just like an advertisement for Coke just after you down a gallon of water.
The other kind of response people have are to direct their attention to a specific product within their existing desires. E.g. You're thirsty, the advert will likely make you drink Coke instead of say Pepsi.
In either case only the really weak of mind end up spending more. Most people just end up spending the same but with different vendors.
You've already lost if your starting point is choosing which product to buy.
Yeah sure. Don't eat or buy soap in the future. See how long it goes before you "lose".
No I'm saying precisely the opposite. Microsoft's core business is not your data so they have no inherent interest in keeping your data safe. To them it's just a value added side benefit.
Google on the other hand sells services based entirely on your data. For them it's like the recipe to Coke. If they sold it to third parties they lose all power.
I'm not sure if I could make this any simpler so if you don't understand that line of thought then don't bother replying.
most of the firmware complexity is in the "smart" part
Oh wow you think these are separate. Ever wonder why it takes a TV 20 seconds just to show you a picture? Or 10 seconds to change channel? Or why some vendors are heavily advertising their TVs now contain quad core processors so they work faster?
ITYM "CEC." Finally, do you really think the EEs write the code?
Yes I meant CEC. Not sure why you think I'm assuming any specific person writes any code other than some lowly paid code monkey. You still think that there's some magical separation inside the code in the TV? You should actually see how little of what is programmed is specialised these days. A metric fuckton of problems have nothing to do with the "Smart" portion, and few if any TVs on the market now are capable of separating the Smart from the Core functionality.
Firmware updates are a common thing for living room appliances. We got used to them with our Bluray players, our Rokus, our (whatever the people with dumb TVs use to watch Netflix).
Yet. You don't seem to notice the trend of "erosion of the stand-alone"? We are getting comfortable with appliances that require internet access. From Bluray players to central heating systems. Now what did we say? 1 in 6 households in the USA have a digital assistant? How many people have Netflix subscriptions? We're unplugging cable at record pace and replacing them with yet more devices that require a WiFi connection.
People are connecting all sorts of things to the internet.
TVs are including all sorts of new value added functionality (e.g. Netflix client, which is why mine is connected to the internet).
To say "most people" will "never" hook their TVs to the internet is incredibly bloody short sighted.
To say "TV that required firmware out of the box would get returned to the stores en masse" is also to completely misunderstand people. What do you think a person is likely to do? Pack up everything again, drive back and deal with some sales drone for an exachange? Or do a quick Google only to find that the problem can be solved in 10 min without leaving their house by simply entering the WiFi password?

Good then go find yourself another conversation about a topic that is relevant to you.

Ask the cord cutters.

Are you high?
Except that the sat was NOT dismantled. The program was.
The sat is sitting on ice, so to speak, and ready to go.
That is literally the exact opposite of what happened.
It's cheaper to go to Germany
Yes but how's that help you overcome American elitism and visa issues?
Only if the students and instructors come from the same country. If not I can guarantee you the opposite is actually the case.

Yes, because the threat of job lose always keeps people from doing stupid things.

None of this prevents the Amazon delivery guy from telling his buddies which houses have good stuff to steal.
If he can tell this from that position then you have already lost. We'll be round to collect your belongings while you're at work.

Erm. Yes. When entrusting someone with something it is kind of one of the biggest fucking points.
That's cute.
