Except that Windows doesn't have a BSOD but rather just silently reboots whenever there is a crash. So yes, rebooting = blue screen in modern versions of Windows, which presumably includes server versions as well.
Go to System Properties, Advanced, Startup and Recovery, and under System Failure, uncheck "Automatically restart".
You should now be able to tell the difference between a BSOD and a reboot done for other reasons.
How much of Spectre can be mitigated by coding while mindful of it? At what cost?
Pretty much all of it can be prevented. But you have to identify the problem areas in the source code, change it, and recompile, for all software on the system, including OS utilities and userland drivers. So in practice, that's not going to happen.
In my experience, this is not the case. When using a Linux kernel that does have support for temperature monitoring and processor states for the CPU it runs on, I can't get machines to reboot at all with the microcode updates no matter how hard I tax the systems. They run slower, and turbo mode is affected, but no reboots in any of several dozen systems with different newer CPUs.
In any case, it's not the CPU or microcode that reboots the machines, but the OS. That is an OS bug, and the Intel/AMD microcode is at most a trigger for the OS not handling conditions correctly.
At any rate, I have not seen a single reboot of any of several dozen Linux machines, so hopefully the OS bugs are Windows and/or MacOS only.
It's a fucking pain in the ass to use, and if you're into security, you're not using gmail...
A problem is that software providers have taught users that authentication and authorization is the same thing, when they're not. Users expect a single operation.
This is unlike real life, where people seem to have less problems distinguishing the two. If you go to the bank and fill out a withdrawal slip, you authorize it with your signature, but need to show an ID to authenticate yourself. The two tasks aren't combined.
Biometrics and RSA key generators = authentication Passwords = authorization
Programs including GMail should separate the two, and ask for what they they need when they need it, so it makes sense to the customer.
I only read the headline, and I assumed it *would* be the i8. That said: the i8 is not an electric vehicle. It's a hybrid, which is electric up to 120kmh and the petrol engine kicks in for anything above that. Still decent, and I presume you can drive it as an all electric most of the time. That still makes it a hybrid.
Yes, and the electric-only range is rather short - 50 miles, if I remember correctly. But if you switch it to hybrid mode, it'll recharge, and whenever you brake, it will send that energy to the battery too, so it's not too limiting in practice. For a police car, it'll still be a good choice if cruising in hybrid mode to keep the batteries topped off (setting aside the environmental impact of having to use petrol too), because most emergency calls aren't going to be 50 miles, and then you'll have the extra power.
Neither the i3 nor the i8 nor the Tesla for that matter can handle prisoners in the back, so it would be for first response only. Until someone comes out with a police special car that is electric.
Those BMWs are fucking ugly looking pieces of shit for stupid faggets. Give them Teslas.
The i3 does not give off the vibe that policemen want to be associated with, for sure. But a Tesla would only be marginally better.
If they had some BMW i8 models, I'm sure they would have seen a lot more use. The lease would be much higher, but nothing is more expensive than something being paid for and not used.
I only care because strangers are the people who sit on the other side of the table in job interviews
As someone who does job interviews: For a job interview, don't wear fashion if you want the job. It's anticipated that you, if male, wear a conservative suit, shirt and tie, unless health or poverty reasons prevent it. Whether it's new or three, five, ten or twenty years old isn't going to be noticed. If you, on the other hand, wear what stands out as haute couture, you're going to be seen as someone self-centered with more expensive tastes that we'd like to pay for. If you don't even de-tag the suit jacket, you'll label yourself (no pun intended) as ignorant of etiquette too. Which might be OK for an office or floor job, but not if you're expected to meet customers.
So you answer the door naked when you order pizza?
No, but I may be in my humble PJs. And it might be -20 outside, or raining sideways. And my driveway is long. Or, I may be on crutches, in which case getting a pizza from the curb to the kitchen table is rather challenging. In any case, I'd rather pay someone willing to do it a tip.
Isn't textile one of the most recyclable materials in existence?
Pure wool or cotton, sure. Pure polyester too. Silk and linen, not so much, for different reasons. And mixes, which are most clothes today, are often hard to recycle.
The title says "Within Next Five Years Your Pizzas Will Probably", while the actual quote was "in three to five years at the earliest". That's two very different statements.
Either the editor can't read, or makes deliberately false statements in order to gain clicks.
This is certainly not the case. Syphilis can also spread with kissing, or from mother to child. Or by having sex with someone not a prostitute that has been infected, including your spouse.
One advantage: this works better when listening in a noisy environment (in a car, during jogging, etc). Which is how most music is listened to nowadays, rather than sitting in a silent room and focusing on music.
People and particularly one half of the population also take any quiet moment as an opportunity to talk. Constant music with no dynamics may be the only way to shut them up for a bit.
Stop the infect people from wondering around globally and such issues stay more local.
Fighting human nature is difficult. People fleeing the black death is one of the reasons it spread so quickly. Similar with Ebola, with scared people already infected trying to escape affected areas.
The horror scenario is a highly infectious disease in affluent areas with a high amount of air traffic. Because humans will attempt to flee, and don't care one bit how many millions may die because of it, if they think it increases their own survival chances.
Take only the highest notes in each chord and remove all the rest. What do you have? A melody. Now repeat with the 2nd highest. Now you have another melody. You can do this several times and end up with 4 or 5 melodies. The fact that they can be combined together as harmonies is the genius of Bach.
That's known as counterpoint.
But Bach was a master of also using polyphonic chords. His Toccata and Fugue in D Minor is a good example. While you may remember the lead-in melody that is played multiple times in diminishing octaves, what you really remember is the massive chord progression after that. https://youtu.be/ipzR9bhei_o?t...
Modern music has pretty much forgotten how deeply emotional and satisfying polyphony without a basis in rhythm or melody can be.
Even if they weren't in the court order it emerged that McDonald's own practices were to serve coffee at 82-88C. Per American association standards It is normal to be served as low as 71C.
Serve coffee that cold in most parts of Europe, and you will get the cup handed back to you. If you can't see tendrils dancing on the surface, it's just too cold. If you don't want it serving hot, wait or blow on it. It's not arcane secret knowledge, but something everyone should be expected to know.
When you sit at a meeting table and don't have a handkerchief nearby, the only options might be to suppress it, or take matter into your own hands, so to speak.
You're forgetting about prosody, the way that the words relate to the music, but other than that spot on.
That's because personally, I'm mostly blind to lyrics, and see voice as an instrument. When words are important, I see it a poetry set to music, and there's nothing wrong with that, just like there's nothing wrong with dancing either. Mike Oldfield often used voice just for the timbre, and scat music like Cab Calloway used it for rhythm, and in either case there's no prosody despite not being instrumentals.
So, should we remove the laws preventing felons from owning firearms?
Would you do away with the requirement for convicted rapists and pedophiles to register everywhere they move?
After the sentence is served, they should be treated like any other citizen. If you don't think they are rehabilitated, why are they released from prison?
Spend more money on actual rehabilitation, and less on punishment. Give the convicts a chance to get a full life back, or they will already have given up. Recidivism rates are much lower in Scandinavian countries where the focus is on rehabilitation.
I'd argue that while melody moves some people, harmony moves others. Think J. S. Bach, where there's often little melody but very much harmony. And there's precious little harmony these days. Good luck finding a major, minor or 7th cord. To say nothing about 4-note harmonies - those disappeared with most rock music, and haven't made much of a comeback.
Yeah, that's part of it. but TFA talks about some actually objective measures of quality.
In particular, #2 and #5 are hard to argue with.
Historically, music has been defined as having three main components: Rhythm, melody and harmony.
And for a generation now, the mix between the three has definitely changed, where melody is reduced and harmony is so reduced that it's almost gone. This is an observable trend. It's been observed before in history, with music trends that were biased to one of these three at the expense of the other two. Mozart was melody focused, Bach was harmony focused. Pointing out a difference doesn't imply that this is bad, but the pendulum has swung so far on especially harmony that it seems likely to swing back again. It would surprise me if the next generation won't have music with both 3- and 4-note chord harmonies and counterpoints throughout it.
In addition to the three commonly acknowledged components of music, I'd argue for a fourth one: dynamics. How much the whole range between quiet and loud is used. That one seems to have diminished significantly too, starting in the early 80s and culminating with the loudness wars. It's either full volume or silence, and never any subtlety. Pink Floyd might have been one of the last chart-topping bands to actively use dynamics.

Don't you normally get your lunch in your police vehicle if you are a police officer?
Not all police officers spend their day in a vehicle. It just seems that way.

These "unwanted reboots" are system crashes.
Or watchdog initiated reboots.

And that's when people ask for bigger monitors, to hold all the stick-it notes.

Hold on to your out of date clothing. They will be back in style in 10 years.
Or simply wear them. If your friends judge you buy your clothes, they're not your friends.
So you're saying we could cut out a major source of greenhouse-gas emissions by just going naked all the time?
Our friends north of the 60th might have a problem with that...

Vs a disease that you only catch from prostitutes
