If you don't like to use Windows 10 on your own computer(s) then don't. How the hell can you think something you can control to that level can be malware? You can easily disable the telemetry too, can you easily disable the malware aspects of malware?
You have a point but please make the example realistic.
European legal systems? Which types are you referring to? In general yes the European legal systems are better, loser pays , the level of evidence needed for a conviction in criminal cases are often extreme*, the defense is generally better etc. Stacking of verdicts on different aspects of the same crime isn't used. But the types of systems vary a lot.
But of course Europe also includes Russia and some other countries with suspect legal systems. Guess those are the only ones that matter?
Solar forcing isn't the primary nor secondary influence in climate so IFF you didn't explain that clearly then you should simply been fired. If you didn't they were idiot assholes.
That - just as the idea of using this effect as sails - isn't a new idea. It have been tried. The result: how do the wings of current airplanes look like?
The idea isn't new, the incredible claims aren't new and actually testing it isn't new either. What have changed since last time this was attempted and failed?
Yes but do you think they (or others) would get funding and/or sponsoring to try out a new idea (which it AFAIK genuinely is) without doing the basic research first?
Manufacturing chips is expensive especially if one can't use a normal shuttle run, one have to have sponsors to pay for it.
Yes? Don't see how that's relevant? The thing I protested against was the implication that this was just handwaving because they hadn't done physical circuits. This is much more than basic theory as they have simulated systems and tried to make it something that _can_ be manufactured and tested.
One shouldn't get excited yet but that doesn't imply the research is just hand waving.
One of the claims from this fraud (or perhaps just idiot) is that one have to apply the term email for it to count - and I'm not joking. He probably did do a system that provided email functionality with the expected features to a limited group of people (where he worked on the system), that's not inventing the thing though.
It seems this would have been filtered before the main processing, that so many programmers would have missed doing it seems incredibly unlikely. That "whispering" in ultrasonic frequencies would have any effect at all seems even more unlikely - if they claimed that blasting high volume ultrasonic sounds and using effects like beat tones that the microphones would detect it would seem possible at least.
Maybe you should wait until there is at least a theoretical possibility to build a quantum computer capable of breaking standard encryption? We are _far_ away from that point.
[This is for the idiots - non-idiots need not read] So changing the (often criticized by people calling themselves nerds etc.) depiction of computer professionals in movies, something that _is_ and _does_ influence what people growing up perceives how things are in those professions is wrong? How the hell can you make that kind of thought pattern make sense at all?!?
But reading the hints here and there shows that promoting females (an underrepresented group) into a field where they are underrepresented largely because of media depictions of what that field is about (there's a lot of research about that - google) is taboo.
Are you lot afraid of women? Really... If your ideas of females being unsuited for the work _it_will_self_regulate_ with women exiting the field.
So the only reasonable interpretation is that you are indeed afraid of women and find computer programming a safe spot for avoiding them. So maybe you should grow up instead of fearing 50% of the human population? Hint: women are people too, treat them like people.
You are really showing us all that the dragon probably have a bit of valid point. Maybe you should have re-read your own post before sending it?
Narcissism as a medical diagnosis is pretty rare - but that doesn't mean a person can't be narcissistic without being diagnosed. I wonder why medical professionals would even try to find something like that? Psychosis or mania... Well I don't see how those are relevant here unless you think people are implying (which they may - I haven't read enough) that your level of disconnect is enough for indicating a psychosis. I don't see any indication of that anyway. Mania? Not relevant at all.
What I'd like to see is you trying to be less judgmental - not that you should care - as IMHO your often insightful opinions is blurred by a fixed worldview formed by your experiences and ideas leaving a bitter aftertaste. But again you shouldn't care as such, my opinion is not really worth anything and people go about trumpeting their ideas of the world all the time. Most with a not so small amount of (normal non-medical) narcissism...
When then pictures leak of something someone in some obscure group can consider offensive and written widely about by the trash we call newspapers I think you'd change your mind.Because it's _that_ we are talking about - not some surveillance video that is only used internally if something suspect is happening.
There have been many cases where lives of innocent people have been risked as everyone thinks they have the right to interfere with police and ambulance personel. They don't. They think they have the right of publishing the faces and injuries of seriously hurt people. They don't.
/. is paradise compared to arstechnica. Try to argue for a point instead of posting emotional (and 100% wrong) crap? Downvoted to oblivion. Try to joke? Downvoted unless it is based on emotional and wrong crap. Post relevant information (_not_ skewed shit but scientific research done by real scientists in a non-biased way and accepted by the scientific community)? Downvote if it doesn't happen to support the groupthink.
Really/. is paradise compared to that shithole. Randomized the password for my long-time login and redirected arstechnica to localhost so I'll never be tempted to check it out again. First time I've done that... [/rant]

I do not think normal hacking is under their jurisdiction. While most people have heard of Mossad Israel have a bunch of other organizations.
That I may be - but I'm not wrong. That's what matters.
That I can agree with!

He never claimed that. What he did claim is also an enormous exaggeration but whatever...

Most of us make do with ~20kHz hearing to detect the coil whine of CRTs, actually 16kHz is enough.
It seems this would have been filtered before the main processing, that so many programmers would have missed doing it seems incredibly unlikely.

Hey! What's wrong with the Golden Girls?
Or one could start with a dog instead giving a cheaper product.
Hate to break this to you but that's how things work. Do you think your modern computer just jumped out perfected from the sweat of the giant Ymir?
Theory first - practice later. Just doing things without theoretical background is generally a waste of time and money (with a few exceptions).
Maybe you should wait until there is at least a theoretical possibility to build a quantum computer capable of breaking standard encryption? We are _far_ away from that point.

Bullshit. The analysis is crap, not worthy of being called analysis at all. Please don't encourage this.

Why would they? They are more interested in making real money.
