Look at how the information is delivered. "This site is to inform the public about the vulnerabilities and call upon AMD and the security community to fix the vulnerable products." - but doesn't actually give AMD the time to fix the problem(s).
Look at the website: amdflaws.com Nice name.
"MASTERKEY requires an attacker to be able to re-flash the BIOS with a specially crafted BIOS update" So this is a low impact problem. Yes they try to hype it but the fact is if anyone have access to a computer one should always assume they can gain control. For just a few years ago people wouldn't even try to portrait it as a problem.
The rest are similar things - bypassing security while still needing physical and/or elevated privileges. Yes there may be problems caused by this, no the problems aren't really bad.
I wouldn't be surprised if Intel spent some $$$ to encourage the group behind this to select the website name, the naming of the exploits (or "exploits" in some cases), how they are presented on the website and the white paper, and lastly to not giving AMD any chance to patch the problems. Add to this the quote above that show an exceptional level of dishonesty.
And if Intel didn't give them anything the group missed out - Intel have dedicated resources for these kind of operations as anyone that have been into computers for a while should know.
We could debate that of course but the problem isn't that some opinions are unpopular but that the ARS "community" effectively silences reasonable well stated opinions. Fuck that. Fuck them.
I don't know what you are going with this. Did Soviet controlled Poland reuse the facilities used by the National socialists? Yes. Does it matter? No.
The very idea of a concentration camp is old(-ish) and we still have them. USA have them, several in fact. They aren't called concentration camps anymore but they are. A large camp divided into several sub-camps in order to maintain control.
If you want to complain about the conditions in Soviet/Polish camps do so but don't bullshit around by trying to connect them with another regime.
You somehow want to imply that reusing the Nazi facilities and/or location for another but related use is somehow wrong. Yes of course Poland should have interned the German POWs in another new camp while letting the Nazi camps wither./s
Yes. He himself have stated that the idea of and work on self-landing rockets aren't a new thing (IIRC when commenting a Blue Origin patent). Repackaged - and not obviously useful.
Why not obviously useful? Reuse requires resilient components, that means heavier components. Some potential faults are hard to detect which may require expensive verification of components before reuse. Some components may be reusable but others not which would mean disassembly/reassembly. Even with verification of parts some may be less reliable when reused. Reconditioning of parts also add costs.
While you are of course welcome to come up with a counter-argument what you just produced is something completely different - misdirection.
It's possible to be praising something while still arguing something negative for the same thing. Your post would only be relevant if the engineer retracted the earlier statement in praising the driving experience.
One of the charms of a Harley-Davidson is that it is primitive mechanically (or was: have not seen one or read about them in 20 years) but being a joy to ride and work with. Fun - primitive: not mutually exclusive.
After some coffee and doing something unrelated by brain pointed out that this isn't actually true - something that can do an infinite number of operations can "solve" the problem by exhaustion even if it requires an infinite number of steps to do so. Any real computer can still not solve the general halting problem.
The thing is I used the word infinite to mean an extreme large number rather than an actual infinite number, that's obviously improper. Replace the word infinite with "arbitrary large number" and text is correct.
Sorry for that, will try to drink my coffee before responding in the future.:(
Actually it's even worse: the halting problem shows that there are problems that can't be solved by a computer.
Even a theoretical perfect computer being infinitely fast, existing in a world with infinite energy and with infinite time to run can't solve the general halting problem.
So it's not a case that one can't solve it without running a program. One can't solve it in any way even in a computer with infinite resources.
An inane "argument". Picking up people and dropping them off where they want to for monetary gain isn't the same as you giving someone a ride because you are a very kind person.
If you start cooking food at your home and serving that food to people for money you have a restaurant and have to follow a certain set of regulations. That doesn't mean you can't invite homeless people to eat at your house for free if you so desire.
The laws and regulation are there to protect the public.
I go to Amazon and can buy things from a lot of different manufacturers from whatever category legally possible. But not Google products as they compete with Amazon hardware. I go to Google store and can buy things from Google from a few select hardware category.
Don't you don't see the difference?
If this keeps up up I'll stop using Amazon altogether.
Imagine company A being created in North Korea. Imagine company B being a company owned and controlled by A incorporated in the US. If company A is ordered to do something that is legal in NK should then company B comply even though it is illegal in the US?
I don't see the problem in allowing people to have a semi-automatic rifle in the first place. Why not? Someone with a.22 pistol can kill too after all, at short range against unprotected civilians it is very effective assuming the murderer know how to shoot.
Have to clarify this: don't just listen to idiots that like to hear their own voices (whatever crap they promote) but also others that may have interesting points even if one doesn't agree with them.

HTML + CSS is, HTML in itself isn't a programming language.
Nothing wrong in that. However if example code is then copy-pasted as KiloByte implied there are several potential problems.

LED degrades and LCD (what I assume you meant) actually do too. But both of those are better than OLEDs.
The backlight of an LCD panel I read the specs for recently had a specified lifetime of 15k hours and that's of course due to the fact it degrades.
As there are no biological races as such in humans there are also no racists.
Are you stupid or just pretend to be on /.?
Thanks for keeping my cynic views on the state of humanity alive.

Either I'm missing some joke or you two are competing in stupidity...

Which is just another way to select the "I don't know anything about the fourth amendment and how the world works" option.
So you say humans can solve the halting problem?
The description doesn't make any claims that would make it impossible. It just detects patterns.
And what do you mean with P=NP? Do you think that have something to do with the halting problem?
That would only be relevant if the system ran for a limited time rather than until it produces an answer.
It doesn't.

Of course not, that is ridiculous.
