There is no reason to tolerate intolerance. Absolutes are for fools. Of course, not all conservatives are assholes, but the GOP panders to these assholes, along with the stupid and selfish to form their base of support. That is fine, but it is hardly cricket to simultaneously pretend that the GOP has any credibility, either effectively or morally. They intentionally bent over for these loons, and earned the reputation themselves.

I credit obscene long distance charges for creating the proto-type routing used in uucp, and later refined in a dynamic form in IP. Uucpâ(TM)s documentation describes how to configure the routes to take advantage of subsequent local hops in order to avoid long distance charges. In this way, it is a product of big business - greedy monopolies inspired cheap geeks to avoid long distance charges.
Now that there is nothing we can do about it, the shills can stop pretending it isnâ(TM)t happening. Already, Exxon has stated the obvious - burning fossil fuels is warming the planet by increasing the co2 level; however had to mute it with a statement that we can handle the change. I suppose a whiff of honesty is better than before.
I used to use a TI-89 calculator. Yes the buttons were close together, it was at times awkward, and occasionally (gasp) I had to write down intermediate answers and re-enter them. I could have avoided these problems by resorting to log tables, slide rules and hand calculations.
The mother of invention is necessity (apologies to FZ) . If the invention spurs innovation, so be it. The field of application, education in this case, shouldnâ(TM)t be beholding to the invention. Dogs should wag tails, not the other way around.
You think a motley collection of onion farmers are that sophisticated? The PM is a low functioning retard and his cabinet cannot reach that bar. The sleazy group that give them their marching orders - the little shits - are not so stupid, but they are blind with greed. No, they blew the jizz out of their noses, collected their booty and moved on. Mercifully, the work of decent minds from the past will undo this crap; but not until many have suffered. Demagoguery - the strategy of cowards - has been understood for eons, yet is prevalent today.
I canâ(TM)t imagine the torture of waiting until you actually have a product to announce it. It takes all the fun out of it. I much more support people selling prototypes of half baked ideas. That is cutting edge.
One of the reasons I steer towards Apple products is just that - they are finished products. I had one of the early HTC android phones. I admire the chutzpah of HTC to actually sell such a painfully horrible contraption. My daughter helpfully donated it to a city bus...
There is alarmingly awful shit punted into the CE market; Sony, Dell, Samsung, Archos, Elgato, are all guilty of punting little more than proof-of-concept (and often proof-of-no-concept) as product. MS are no exception.

Read the xen link from the article. Intel throws a #GP in supervisor mode when sysretâ(TM)ing to an invalid %rip (loaded from %rcx) - invalid because reserved bits have junk in them. Amdâ(TM)s throws it in user mode. Intels problem is that the kernel needs to have loaded the user stack before issuing the sysret; so you can arrange your stack to gain supervisor access. Fix is check %rcx is valid before issuing sysret.
Its in the module licensing that ARM really has the lead. There are a huge number of firms which design their own SOC with ARM core(s) and their own components. That means there are a generation (almost a generation + 1/2) of designers comfortable with ARM tools, integration and understanding of the architecture. It took intel until last year to sideline the approach of designing an SOC for each application they could see; and are now finally working on licensing cores for companies to include in their own designs. A bit late to the party, but who knows. 20 years ago, industries like automotive electronics and telecommunications were owned by Motorola. Not for its ISA - 68k, 88k, ppc were all different - but because of the expertise of the hardware designers. Now x86 is in both those industries, and probably soon to dominate.
Did you ever take training in recognizing sarcasm, or other comic devices? The trick is to consider what you are reading from multiple perspectives simultaneously. If it tickles your funny bone, it was likely meant to.
Its a bit like lyrics in the jazz and blues roots. If you vaguely think it might be about sex, it is.
I find myself primed by statements like âoeHere is a simple arithmetic questionâ to answer quickly. Its probably pride, in that I think of myself as able to answer difficult questions, to attempt to answer the question as quickly as possible.
I hope I wouldnâ(TM)t employ such a cavalier approach to anything important, like a questionnaire for an important research paper. Sadly, unless I am analyzed by a thick outsider (perhaps a psychologist?), I will never know.
I know, dumping on psychologists for questionable experimental processes is like baiting clergy - way too easy, yet never gets old. They really have their work cut out for them. Unless you can create a sense of consequence for mistakes - maybe a quick electric shock, to steal a clever idea from the history of psychology experiments - you arenâ(TM)t observing abilities.
If the machineâ(TM)s OS opens up the firewire memory space, then yes. The OS has to do that explicitly (granted its BIOS could). Some OSes did this under a mistaken idea of making things âeasierâ(TM). Some (BSD) made it an option for having the most awesome kernel debugger ever. Security folks spread crap about it for notoriety...
It is that âremote dmaâ(TM) feature that makes FW so attractive - low latency + high throughput. But those remote dma requests are filtered through a set of range-accept registers programmed by the driver.
As I understand TB uses an iommu on the interconnect, whereas FW did it on the FW controller.

It is not their fault. Lacking genes for humour and insight relegates them to their current plight.

Even the name symbolia is too long to be bothered reading. They should condense it into an icon. Maybe rename it ADD-NEWS.
Fairy tales are different from science fiction; and Fairy Tale is a generous classification of his typing.

Maybe the AV people should write an OS.
Faint sound heard over head, a bit like fast moving object shooting through the air. Probably nothing.

Who writes this shit? Is there some smart ass in the back room feeding the author bullshit every time he asks a stupid question?
That is what she said.

Its not that conservatives are generally stupid, it is that the stupid people are generally conservative. It is the base of support they lean upon.
