Exactly. Or a simple book cipher, or steganography. It's just too laughably easy for REAL terrorist types to communicate in perfect secrecy. What measures like this are about is for Law Enforcement(TM) types to trivially easily spy on the general populace.
Make the twenty-somethings who are fucking around with their phones instead of paying attention drive the auto-braking cars. At least the old people are trying to drive.
Ummm, because if they're running >10 year-old OS software, they're running it on >10 year-old HARDWARE? Picture VMWare on 3 Ghz Pentiums with 2 Gb of memory, a 512K VGA card and an IDE drive.
Agreed. We're comparing apples and aardvarks. The ULA launches were done as bespoke one-offs (for the DoD, no less) and Musk is (VERY disingenuously) quoting commodity launches at a loss, hoping to make it up on volume.
Intel gave the dates for the new platform as the following: 4, 6, 8 and 10-core parts available for pre-order from June 19th; 4, 6, 8 and 10-core parts shipping to consumers from June 26th; 12-core parts expected to ship in August; and 14, 16 and 18 core parts expected to ship in October.
IOW, they're going to start making IDENTICAL 18-core parts NOW, and they'll bin them according to how many (4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18) functioning cores pass QA. By October, they hope to have their processes straightened out to the point where they can get maybe a 5-8% yield on the 18-core version.
Meanwhile, you've still got 18 cores sharing the same memory bus, running the same-old, same-old 8086 instruction set. REPNE SCASB forever, baby!
I remember it being most of two day shifts (US timezones). They had to rebuild/migrate the whole database, and there were (PERL (full-body shudder)) slashcode changes as well.
Huh. I seem to remember a few years back when a certain "News for nerds" website went down for a couple days when the comment ID number overflowed and they had to change the data type in the database...
, I know. Moore's Law (observation, actually) is that transistor count (approximately) doubles every 2 years, not "power" (current times voltage?), or "processing power" (Whetstones perhaps?), and certainly not "speed" (GHz times bus width?). This process seems to obey the transistor count rule, but with heat already being the problem it is, it's hard to say what quadrupling the density actually buys you.

As we used to say: "Constants aren't, variables won't".
Yeah, but at least XP didn't have systemd.
Little known fact: Jesus rode a saddled T-Rex into Jerusalem on what we call "Palm Sunday".
Either way, after we do it, you'll be able to see Musk's bank account from orbit.

Karl Rove is a genius; supplying fake documents of real facts to discredit the truth. Brilliant!!
You probably should have used a factory pattern, that way you could instantiate ALL the massless particles -- neutrinos, gravitons, etc.
So, would that be him writing about "Dvorak's keyboard"?
The laws of pointless accidents do care if you're paying attention, though.

I'm pretty sure those Iranian centrifuges were air-gapped.

Reminds me of what Henny Youngman always used to say: "Doctor, it hurts when I do this"...

Besides, the computer would turn off when you close the refrigerator door.
$DIETY, how I miss the quiet, towering intellectualism and sure, deft, thoughtful competence of the George W. Bush administration.
And please don't mention that the Manchester bombing "suspect" was a British national from ... Manchester.
Donald, shouldn't you be running the country or golfing or something?
The fallacy here is "protect us from terror". Maybe we should also be protected from lightning strikes and slipping in the tub.

"The defense calls Vladimir Putin..."
Maybe you shouldn't've made fun of him for that.
