I think the point is if you are going to do maths of viability you need to do it against modern efficient means of heating to see if it would just be better off buying an efficient heating system.
that was for low capacity sticks, 512k and 1MB being quite common, that went up exponentially for larger capacities, you would have been paying many times your $2500.
The software of that era had complete and utter shit for security, hardware support, ease of use, stability and graphics etc etc. sure it ran fast, your car would go faster too if you took out all the windows, airbags, seatbelts, the doors and panels, stripped out the seats, air con, reduced fuel tank size to 10% of current capacity, not many people though would say that the car was better and today's cars are shit because of everything they come with.
hmmm I think to turn this into irony you would need for that chip to have been replaced with the new chips due to better security AND you would need the discoverer of the flaw to be the one that made that decision.
NOTE: I despise Nvidia due to past personal experiences dealing with them and won't have an Nvidia product in my house. BUT, this seems aimed at liability though I think they would be better of simply stating it isn't supported rather than implementing it in software, the reality is gaming cards are not designed for running in data centre scenarios, this reveals a lot of bugs and problems that just don't exist when using them for gaming and rather than be on the hook for fixing those problems the easiest solution is to say this product is not made for that scenario. That $5 bucket they sold you might work ok for water but it leaks has cracks in it and the handle is likely to fall off if you fill it to the top and carry for too long, doesn't really matter for water, but when it is your vintage wine the owners are going to start screaming when thousands of dollars just went down the gurgler.
I call myself a nerd, but my wife does not and when she wants to watch something she doesn't want to be debugging why Netflix won't run or why she can't playback her recorded show properly, this inevitably takes me away from doing other nerdy stuff (games, programming, fiddling with my raspberry Pi). This is why I no longer use kodi, I don't want to spend my time maintaining shit that has been implemented far better on cheap devices like Roku, my time and sanity are worth too much for that.
Just finished ditching Kodi, definitely would not recommend it unless you like constantly maintaining something and it doesn't work well with stuff like Netflix and amazon prime. I am using a combination of Fetch and Chromecast here now (Australia), Though if I was overseas I would go towards roku. if all you want to do is watch content then stick with the pre canned devices like Roku.
that is not actually a protection from slander, neither is claiming it was Satire as the bar to call it satire is set as "no reasonable person upon reading the information would consider it true".
they are not interfering with your thermostat at all, they are simply stating pirates may be bandwidth throttled (nothing new or exciting), difference is they point out some of the potential unintended consequences should your bandwidth be throttled.
Winston put it best "The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.". The reality is most voters are morons, politicians know this and hence they lie their arses off to get voted in as no matter how outrageous they know a large percentage will trust or believe them.
If someone wrote a book of fiction about you, you wouldn't try to discredit it and block it from sale, because doing that would mean it is true? I think your logic is flawed.
ummm no, I would be thrilled, give it a half hearted discredit and then later sue their arses off for a large payday. Now if it was embaressing and true, then hell yeah I would do my best to block it.
If it was all fiction Trump would not be so desperate to get it discredited and blocked from sale. I am sure their will be plenty of bullshit in it, but can't be anyworse than the bullshit Trump makes up on a daily basis.
A few years? even at current consumption the reserves are enough for more than 50 years. If we haven't solved the problem of energy by then we all deserve to die.
http://www.amd.com/en/corporat... AMD's official statement seems to confirm they are vulnerable to variant one of the attack which will be corrected in OS/vendor software. Variant 2 unlikely to be vulnerable, Variant 3 not vulnerable.
I can see it being a problem for shared providers etc. HOWEVER, I know a lot of cases in the customer I am working with they will happily accept the risk rather than take an even 5% performance hit as they use the machines for dedicated tasks so if rogue code was somehow on their they would have already been seriously compromised. So I seriously hope regardless of OS that their is a way to disable the fix easily while staying in a supported state if the performance hits are more than just FUD.
half a trillion dollars was merely the paper figure, it has not had anywhere near that sort of money invested in it. even so that still only puts it equal to large market cap companies assuming you ignore all the problems, lack of real investment etc. Its collapse would not have any affect on stock markets, it is just to insignificant a sum of investment money that would be lost.
No I am simply realistic. Bitcoins market cap is tiny compared to any world market, hell most of the top companies of the world are worth more and the collapse of any of them also would not result in a complete market meltdown.
LOL Bull fucking shit. The entire market value of bitcoin even at its peak isn't even more than some of the top company market caps let alone significant enough to impact an entire market.
why would the stock market go with it? BC even at current price is little more than a hiccup compared to most stock markets. would a single company collapsing cause the entire stock market to crash?

not mining bitcoin you won't. Maybe alternative currencies but definitely NOT bitcoin.
What are you 12? perhaps get out of your mothers basement before commenting. that was a well-substantiated ad hominin you posted.

Its apple, that is more a friendly warning into one of their many limitations :-)

I am hardly spreading lies. The statement from the project Zero team explicitly calls out AMD CPU's and states it has been reproduced on them.
when did AMD say that? all reports say that both AMD and ARM are also affected

It might not need a reason but the US, UK et al certainly do their very best to ensure they have a reason.
