Like I said, fair enough. If your Chinese toothpaste is radioactive, that's your problem.
Yeah, I don't buy toothpaste from the dollar store. Tom's of Maine has a good reputation and focuses on less-toxic toothpaste. To poison their customers would be to destroy their business.
To the converse, the FDA does allow those dollar store imports, heavy metals in eyeshadow, carcinogens in nail polish, and all manner of horrible foods and food additives on the market - so caveat emptor.
ah, good to know. Unfortunately I just switched away from ASUS as I had to always disable many BIOS features (e.g. 1394 port) to get Xen to boot on it. And the last board let the magic smoke out.:( But, for a large deployment with redundancy and ECC requirements, those might not matter.
yeah, same here - phenom II x6 is a great sweet spot for scaling horizontally.
As a bonus, the AMD chip has a HT bus to the memory and in theory should be able to handle ECC memory directly, even on the low-end chips.
But, finding a BIOS to support it is all of the battle. If AMD wanted to take that market, they'd work with motherboard vendors to get their chips' features supported by the BIOS. With EFI BIOS'es becoming prevalent, this shouldn't be as hard a task as it used to be. I'm using ASRock currently, but just because it's well-priced and stable, not because it's all-that in terms of features.
As to why they're not doing this already? - hey, they're AMD!
If you try to prevent this by building in an environmental protocol switch, so the device could be set in the future as to which algorithm to use, why not initially design the device to support loading a more modern algorithm in the future?
The algorithms are implemented in hardware, e.g. Intel's AES-NI. If rijndael is found to be weak, you can't just make a that CPU do Twofish in hardware. If Intel implemented rijndael, twofish, and serpent in hardware, then if an attack is found on rijndael there would be somewhere to go. If an app becomes dependent on AES-NI and it's broken, then there's a 2-year waiting period before anything can be done about it. Which is essentially forever.
Why would a publicly-facing web server be behind NAT? That doesn't make any sense.
When you have more services than public IP's. I have 5 IP's at the office, and run over a dozen services from them. These days, you spin up a VM for each service, for isolation, and NAT the ports where they need to go.
Right, because socialist countries are carbon-neutral, have pure water, low pollution levels... etc.
Don't forget the never-ending supply of buxom blondes!
Arguing about socialism vs. capitalism (or corporatism if you favor it) without talking about no vs. weak vs. strong property rights is argue over paint color without first designing the car.
It uses the same connectors, it has roughly the same design limitations, it's backwards compatible, and the operating systems treat them as if they're just the same.
What benefit would a new name have except to sow confusion? One out of a thousand IT guys knows that CMDA/CD is, much less that it's used on 10 Megabit ethernet.
Towns obviously don't. Town governments, mostly controlled by the incumbent retail businesses that WalMart threatens with their superior business model, do. They spend the townspeoples' money against their own interests.
Of course, if there's a town where WalMart moved in and nobody showed up to shop, then I'm probably wrong.
(I dread to think how fast NSA or GCHQ could do it on their top secret supercomputers with classified performance specs).
NSA is a government agency. Figure their costs to do anything are 3x that of industry (I'm being generous).
Now, figure out what they need to spend to out-R&D Intel and look at their budget. If they have working quantum supercomputers, are they building that massive western data center just for disinformation?
Compare this to the 1970's when they literally could spend 10x Intel's R&D budget and that may have been a different picture. But, the People win again, through standard value-based economics. Speaking of which, all 5 SHA3 entrants are not from the NSA.
The republicans are on the right side of this one.
They might not even realize why. The economics don't always favor the CFL's.
My own personal example of this is a 3-way bulb in our living room lamp. A standard bulb costs about $1.80 and a 3-way CFL costs about $12. I understand about the long term cost benefits of a CFL, so I bought one. Then my five-year-old knocked the lamp off the table and broke the bulb. So, I bought another one. And a month later he did it again. $24 down so far. So, I bought the $1.80 3-way bulb, and if he does it again I'll be out $1.80.
What many economists miss is that when I earn $24, there's a carbon load associated with that. Whether it's my direct energy use, or the energy use of a downstream customer who is paying me. One of my customer's downstream's downstream's downstream is a farmer who uses tractor diesel and fertilizer. His margin is low so that $24 of profit he makes might contain $20 worth of carbon load (OK, I'm ignoring income taxes here, figure 22% off each level).
But, anyway, my options are: 1) buy a new lamp with 3 sockets and put in three low-power CFL's. - $95 2) get rid of the boy - $-300,000 3) keep replacing the bulbs at $12 4) keep replacing the bulbs at $1.80 5) buy two additional lamps and build a bracket to hold them all in the same place - wife kills me + $80 6) install ceiling lights - $350 if I DIY plus eight hours work plus heat leaks through the insulation
Since the bulb is used about 20 minutes a day, the most sensible thing to do here is to keep buying incandescent bulbs, until the boy gets older. But Congress thinks it can form a committee that knows better than hundreds of millions of people making billions of decisions every day.
You're right - I just looked up the current numbers and with the recent price increases, they're now netting about $1025 per unit.
Apparently with the 2009 re-design they lowered their manufacturing costs by 30% and that got them close to break-even.
They still haven't recouped their 2002-2009 losses but the 2015 model is expected to halve the hybrid electric engine cost, so they should be close to competitive with their typical ICE vehicle.
One can't fault them for having a short term strategy!
They weren't working on a web centric OS that made heavy use of animations.
The animations thing is an artifact of technology. Just as Apple was working on iPhone, I was working on an R&D project with similar animations. The limiting factor was entirely the degree to which OpenGL (ES or not) was available in hardware to make the animations smooth, cheap, and low-power.
Now, Apple got to market first (it's good to have a huge budget!) and did a nice job, but Apple also got to mass-market first with 24-bit ("Millions") color. Nobody argued at that time that PC's ought to be limited to 8-bit color. It was just the natural progression of available technology.

Outside forces are more likely to push the satellite towards Earth in few thousands years.
I bet automated space-junk cleaners pick it up first. Which will be no loss - this is just a stupid, expensive, dangerous art project.
Your love of NH isn't inspired or related in any way by safety or benefit.
Safety is entirely up to the individual to decide. The role of government is to protect rights and freedoms.
Does freedom have benefits? I'm typing this from a census area with 3.2% unemployment.
Thank you for testing - much appreciated.

No helmets for motorcycles, no seatbelt laws,
Indeed, New Hampshire is great.
in fact people should be encouraged to cross highways at night on foot in the rain.
non-sequitor. There's no freedom benefit to doing so.
That wasn't a problem until they installed bike lanes, legitimizing the absolutely insane practice of bicycles passing cars on the right.
That's a really excellent point. I hadn't thought about it that way.
As a youth, I always rode in traffic behind cars, for in-town riding. Of course, they passed me on the left on the highways.
and it booted right up
OK, that's the easy part. How about wifi, sleep, sound, hardware accelerated video, keyboard backlight, and retina resolution?

"fund the things I like and stick it to the other people" is exactly how we got to the present situation.
WHy not just give it a new name?
It uses the same connectors, it has roughly the same design limitations, it's backwards compatible, and the operating systems treat them as if they're just the same.
What benefit would a new name have except to sow confusion? One out of a thousand IT guys knows that CMDA/CD is, much less that it's used on 10 Megabit ethernet.
towns go to frickin' court to keep it out
Towns obviously don't. Town governments, mostly controlled by the incumbent retail businesses that WalMart threatens with their superior business model, do. They spend the townspeoples' money against their own interests.

in spite of a county population density of around 22 per sq. mile, I get 30mbps at $30/mo.
Could you elaborate on the provider or the business model that got this done?
I'm not sure if they get any special breaks on their ground vehicles, though.
I can't find it at the moment, but I seem to recall Congress appropriating $700B to buy the USPS a new fleet a few years back.
If your right is not specifically listed, the government can take it from you whether the right actually exists or not.
I think you missed this bit:
But, if you mean empirically, then sure, the Constitution has either enabled or been powerless to prevent the government we have today.
2.75 million sha1 hashes a second (I tested it)
Now compare the 2^ complexity of SHA1 to SHA512.

Meanwhile seven children were killed by drone strikes last week and nobody was reported feeling queasy.
So, this is how societies fail...

Ideas don't matter. Registering a monopoly grant request with the government for that idea is all that seems to matter today.
They literally have hundreds of millions, sometimes even billions doing absolutely nothing other than generating more money for themselves
Where is that money? How is it generating more money?
