I have always attributed things you mention to non-ECC ram in the past.
Non ECC ram has exactly the same number of bit-flips as ECC ram. It's just that ECC lets you know it happened (as would parity) and can fix it for you (if only one bit flipped).
"overflows in C [ compiled by most compilers ] [ run on most common hardware ] don't cause immediate crashes" is probably true.
But an overflow in signed integer calcutaltions on a Harris 800 or a Tandem TXP, to cite two examples I have real experience with, would cause an immediate crash.
99.99â... of SEUs have notihing to do with cosmic radiation.
Let me guess, you are a millennial, and to cool to use Google?
It was initially thought that this was mainly due to alpha particles emitted by contaminants in chip packaging material, but research has shown that the majority of one-off soft errors in DRAM chips occur as a result of background radiation, chiefly neutrons from cosmic ray secondaries
$ apt-cache show init Package: init Source: init-system-helpers Version: 1.22 Essential: yes Installed-Size: 29 Maintainer: pkg-systemd-maintainers <pkg-systemd-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org> Architecture: amd64 Pre-Depends: systemd-sysv | sysvinit-core | upstart Description-en: System-V-like init utilities - metapackage
This package is an essential metapackage which allows you to select from
three available init systems in Debian (systemd, sysvinit, upstart) while
ensuring that one of these is available on the system at all times.
when the truth may be "Microsoft's Signature program involves keeping users from breaking RAID settings, but the new settings aren't supported by Linux yet."
Slightly worse than that -- Intel aren't releasing any info about how to use the new RAID settings, so there is no way Linux will be able to support them.
In which it is made clear that the problem lies with Intel, not Microsoft or Lenovo.
The real problem here is that Intel do very little to ensure that free operating systems work well on their consumer hardware - we still have no information from Intel on how to configure systems to ensure good power management, we have no support for storage devices in "RAID" mode and we have no indication that this is going to get better in future. If Intel had provided that support, this issue would never have occurred. Rather than be angry at Lenovo, let's put pressure on Intel to provide support for their hardware.
It's actually been that way for years with [ all electrical waste ] in many parts of Europe at least.
Anyone who sells any kind of electrical goods (TV, computer, fridge, phone) has to take away the old one if the customer asks. A small part of the purchase price pays for this.
Who gives a fuck about the planet. Or even "life" in the abstract. Human life and human civilisation has never existed with all that CO2 in the atmosphere.
To be fair, what evidence we do have suggests that intelligence services genuinely believed that at the time.
No. Rumsfeld had to set up a separate operation to sideline the CIA just to get some pretexts for the war -- look up the story of the Office of Special Plans for details.
Nation building fails when the stabilising situation that the previous president achieved by a surge in troops and allying with ones former Sunni ennemies is tossed away by an administration that cuts and runs
That would be the Bush administration, that failed to negotiate a status of forces agreement so decided to withdraw from Iraq, right?
Do you have a really old/cheap TV? If not, you can probably enable HDMI-CEC (known as "HDMI Device Link" on the PS4) and then just use your TV remote to control the PS4.
Doesn't work with my TV, which is a little known brand called SONY.

Where in any C standard does it say that.

Urgh, broke the link: Skylake's power management under Linux is dreadful and you shouldn't buy one until it's fixed
Another of Garrett's posts gives more detail:
Fun part, Intel says "Caution: Long term reliability cannot be assured unless all the Low-Power Idle States are enabled".
TL;DR: I don't like the newer GUI styles. So, I don't care.
You appear not to be using Gnome3. Maybe you tried Unity by accident?
Oh please, what's our alternative for systemd?
It says what the alternatives are right there:
systemd-sysv | sysvinit-core | upstart
People are complaining about Gnome and systemd because they suck and cause major frustration.
So use something else then?
It is ok for you to disagree with them, but it is also ok for them to disagree with you.
Are you sure you're posting this to the right place?

No reason at all.
Unless you like living.

The first bold part, he says the she lied.
No, in fact he doesn't say that at all.
The second bold part, he says that she knowingly and willfully lied.
Neither does he say that.
The third bold part, he says that she lies habitually.
Nor that.
What do we call someone who misreports the words of another? Oh, yes, a liar.
None of your, or his, business?
What has availability of pot got to do with being left wing? Is Colorado more left wing than France?

Guess it's time for Reuters to "tweak" their polling algorithms again
Ah, maybe we need unskewed polls.
Because that worked so well the last time.
When will these fools realise that reality is that that does not go away when you don't believe in it.

You're playing the wrong game. If you want mods you should be playing Farming Simulator 17, not Fallout 4.
Ok, that makes no sense, but it makes about as much sense as anything Sony will say.
No mods for Fallout 4 that is. Farming Simulator 17 gets them, but not Fallout 4.
