No, the failure is in the design of an email client that favors whizzo shit that looks great in a 30-second demo from the stage of a developers conference over practical security.
I'm trying to say that the C compiler has to emit register-dancing code to work around the single-accumulator byzantine instruction set. You're completely ignoring the memory bandwidth and branch prediction problems that a variable-sized instruction set causes. You're saying, in effect, "it doesn't matter that the instruction set is really inefficient, because we execute it really efficiently".
No, it's still CISC. If different instructions have differing sizes, anywhere between one and 8 bytes; if the instruction set is wildly non-orthogonal; if it has a single accumulator; if certain instructions require the use of particular registers, then it's still CISC. The external interface is all CISC. If you put an Indy Car engine in a Volkswagon, it still LOOKS like a Volkswagon, it still corners like a Volkswagon, even if it goes like hell in a straight line.
Don't even bother. There's a whole contingent of "but it's RISC under the hood" folks around here who don't understand that a single accumulator architecture that has gems like "REPNE SCASB" in its instruction set will never be RISC.
Dude, if you think that enough (non-nuclear) explosives to bring down a passenger jet will fit up your asshole, then you fail chemistry forever. Same for in your shoes, for that matter.
...we found a small number of computers, including some in our Mac business unit...
Something tells me that had these "some" actually been Macs, they (Microsoft) would have mentioned it. But then I have a suspicious nature when it comes to press releases.
Good grief, have you HEARD of the DMCA? The part about circumventing copy protection? And that's for SONGS fer chrissake. How do you suppose the government is going to react to people hacking into surveillance drones using encrypted commands flying over schools and hospitals (THINK OF THE CHILDREN!). I'll give you a two-word hint: "Guantanamo Bay".
Indeed. Nevada (Las Vegas, Reno) is also a popular vacation destination. All we know about the Tweets in question is that they were "geo-tagged" - not that they came from residents. I'm guessing Florida (Disney World) would have ranked higher if it weren't for all the angry old people populating the rest of the state.
Same as everything else - nothing, nothing at all - then get into a huge argument about something completely unrelated and mind-bogglingly unimportant.

Damn right. But the job's not finished until we kick fucking Plutonium off the Periodic Table of Elements, too.

And it's interesting how this whole thread got instantly modded Troll/Offtopic.
A few MONTHS for a simple business-rule change?

Well, *I* LOLed.
So when a sale ends, that's a price increase?
And by that he means HR and the insurance industry.
... because BC is one market the manipulators can't be bothered to figure out.

You fool! You've invoked APK! Woe! Woe unto all of us!

Yes. Please send us a check for $699 for a single-CPU license. Make checks payable to "Darl McBride".
Now you've made me all nostalgic for USENET.
P.S. We need to talk about your dosage...

Also, being a space station, it explains why you didn't hear the 'WHOOSH'.
Hmm. $999 (2013) for 4.5 TF/s vs. $15 million (1984) for 400 MF/s from Cray-XMP. Hard to believe.
So I'm guessing the U.S. government and Microsoft are one of the control groups...
BSD kernel in Javascript? I just threw up in my mouth a little.
Heh. My meme is older than your meme.
I thought not.
