How is it bizarre than an active project which creates patches for found flaws is not seen at risk? The whole at-risk is about old software that no one looks at and only assumes is ok since it's old and trusted software.
Last I read, 1 in 10 fixes creates a new bug. Most activity on new projects is new features, not the grunt work of fixing flaws. You can always get lots of people to write new code. It's hard to get people to do thorough testing.
Open source design of data center hardware - power, compute nodes, storage, rack and cable layouts. The problem is that everyone's needs are slightly different.
I did kernel hacking for 10 years. I've fixed bugs in Ethernet drivers and helped document (and work around) hardware errata. I've also had to deal with trying to rebuild Nvidia drivers when the binary blob was no longer compatible with the latest kernel source. Having open-source drivers is key for those of us that actually *do* work on this stuff.
This is different. nVidia drivers run on the CPU, so a change to the OS makes them, and your hardware, not work. This is firmware that runs on the graphics chip. When I want to run a totally different OS running on an ARM CPu, say, the blob will still work.
These 'applicants' would probably never consider the path to jihad if they had a decent job and the ability to earn a living to raise a family
The unemployment rates are 27% with even higher rates for people in their twenties The application takes advantage of their desires to have a 'real' job and twists it into continuing strife that does nothing to improve their economic conditions
The 9/11 hijackers included an architect, a law student and a school teacher. A significant number of suicide bombers have technical backgrounds, have families and have had a pretty good life. They have found solutions to the problems of jobs, food and home life and choose to focus on a perceived evil in the world that they don't think they can change in any other way.
When Barack Hussein Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize for doing... oh yeah, absolutely nothing, the entire credibility of all Nobel prizes took a swift kick in the gonads. Including those based on science and mathematics.
It was to make up for having awarded it to Henry Kissinger in 1973.
Maybe black youth in America should focus on getting an education, rather than joining a gang and engaging in murder, drug peddling, assault, robbery, theft, and various other serious crimes.
There aren't actually that many black youth running pharmaceutical or financial institutions.
Except when you look at these anecdotes, like all of the cases in the Wakefield study, you find out there were signs of autism before the vaccination. People like to have something to blame.
Because the way vaccines are alleged to work is that almost everyone needs to be vaccinated. What you believe to be "alleged" is just your own misconception, although not uncommon.
You whine about shills and them spew the talking points from the anti-vaxers. Seriously? Regarding point 1. You do realize causation does not imply causation, right? The most likely and confirmed cause is later age of parents, which has also risen. The fact that parents are older when they have kids than in the 80s has nothing to do with vaccines.
I'm pretty sure that causation does imply causation.
Perhaps they could video the cockpit (and the fuselage for that matter) and destroy the footage once the plane has safely landed. There could be streaming capability to the ground and if the feed is accessed, the pilots and crew receive a notification. Any unauthorized breach would be detected immediately. In the case of Germanwings, ground control would have been able to see what's going on once they detected the loss of altitude. It stifles me that in 2015, a young troubled copilot can end 150 lives in a way that can easily be prevented with simple technology.
How is it any different than a ferry captain or a bus driver? There are many more fatal accidents from both of those occupations and neither has much of any monitoring.
would probably help more. exactly how many plane hijackings have been prevented by locked doors in the last 14 years ? that's the problem with security theatre - there's no stepping back until it takes a violent end (e.g. totalitarian society).
One Jet Blue flight was protected by locking the pilot out after he went crazy.
That's a great article. So to answer the question in the summary, the way to verify your firmware is:
Buy an identical replacement drive
Use the vendor tool to install the same firmware version
Use the tool described in the article to read the firmware from each drive over JTAG
Compare the two copies to see if the suspect drive has been modified.

. If purchased outright, the ballasts would have paid for themselves in just a couple of years so it was a really sweet deal for the leasing company.
Unless the company goes out of business before the lease is up.
Flying carpets were perfected by Arab magicians centuries ago.

An incident commander spotted the drone, a fixed-wing craft about four feet wide, flying about 800 or 900 feet off the ground
C isn't a good example. It doesn't even do a good job of handling strings of 1-byte characters.
Sorry, why do we need multiple languages again?

While I agree with the conclusion, I do beleive you arrived at it a bit incorrectly. It's that mosquitoes don't fill any useful ecological niche.
Not true. Malaria parasites and yellow fever virus would both be quite upset if mosquitoes were extinct.

His brother got run over by a hit-and-run driver.

Sorry. I meant /var/tmp, but both should be noexec.
mount /tmp with noexec and you are safe.

You say "peer review" as though that means something:

Are you counting Andrew Wakefield as one of these "medical professionals"?
