Prior to this Sergey Aleynikov was the only person connected with the global financial meltdown to receive any prison time at all in the US. Now that it has been dismissed we can say that nobody involved in destroying the savings and retirements of billions of people around the world was significantly punished. At least they gave their word that they wouldn't engage in the sort of risky behavior that collapsed the global economy again I guess, and we know that investment bankers are as good as their word.
Maybe it takes 3 minutes to set up a Vietnam era shoulder launched missile? They figure the Choppers are spotted on the way in and have to get out before the guys with the missiles are ready.
The TFA mentioned that it only supports a tiny subset of the functionality that OpenSSL supports. I'm reasonably certain that they didn't include the old and broken stuff in their rewrite.
Maybe you can talk securely. Nobody has publicly announced any vulnerabilities in HMAC-MD5 yet, but that MD5 piece hanging off of there makes me nervous. If Amazon is willing to say that they no longer support Windows 3.11 for Workgroups users buying products from the Amazon store, it is their call. They have to weigh the loss of customers over discovering later that some weird long forgotten part of their OpenSSL implementation gave the keys to the kingdom over to the hackers.
No, but you will need the CS degree to be a good programmer. If you know what is going on under the hood you can avoid those O(N^5) operations that make your code inefficient. If you just blindly use whatever looks vaguely correct in the standard library you'll never know why your code is so slow.
Only if there is some other device on the network that needs data 24/7. For most people the router is going to go mostly idle once the laptop is closed because there's nothing for it to be talking to. The only thing it should be transmitting is the occasional beacon.
The description makes it sound like they just cut the Tx power on the router by two thirds when you enable the mode, which means it will just have a much shorter range. Even better: This would only help if the woman stayed near the router, she's going to get a lot more "radiation" from her laptop, since it has a similar radio and of course is much closer to her. Even if the science were sound, this wouldn't work. It's both dumb and pointless.
You don't need to buy this card if you're happy gaming at console resolutions. Even 6 year old midrange cards can push modern games just fine if you're willing to accept 720p at 30hz. You can even hook up the controller to your PC if you hate the easy precision of a mouse.
The problem with orbital mining is that it depends on the presence of orbital manufacturing. And orbital manufacturing depends on the existence of raw material. There is a chicken and egg problem unless you're willing to try to safely deorbit many tons of material every year, which is a terrifying prospect. It doesn't really make sense until we're building some sort of enormous space station or space ship in orbit and the launch costs exceed the eye popping costs of starting up an orbital mining/refining/manufacturing industry.
While technically true, in practice everybody does the 64/64 split, especially once you get out onto the Internet. Sure you can do whatever you like on your local network, but don't expect it to go beyond your border router.
True, unless you intend to connect your local network to the Internet, which I think most people are planning to do. You also don't need a global IPv4 address unless you want to connect to the Internet.
Anybody who moves between networks, like a cell phone? You still do route aggregation in IPv6, so even if your host ID (lower 64 bits of the address) don't change, the network ID (upper 64 bits) will when you move between networks. Otherwise you would need to propagate every single device in the world into the global routing table, and that doesn't scale.
Kind of true. Router autodiscovery works, but has some problems. It doesn't provide DNS information to the clients, nor does it allow the clients to populate their hostnames in the local DNS the way a DHCP server does. This makes it far from ideal when you want to allow for client to client communications. It also lacks any sort of authentication mechanism which makes it vulnerable to spoofing attacks. Router autodiscovery is a really incomplete solution.
It kind of is, but they put in so much information that I can't hold it against them. Look how many code fragments with common errors there are in there. This is a quality article.
And then one of the stupid old PLCs craps out and you discover that they have not been made for 20 years and all of the old stock is exhausted... Now you have a crisis where you have to rebuild a major part of your system at great expense.
IIRC they did remove some of the more obscure APIs, but honestly most of those were research projects that were never used in real life, so they shouldn't break anything. The OpenBSD guys compile their own ports tree against LibreSSL and have only had a small handful of applications break I think.
Mine has a 2GB eMMC slot, which is too small for a standard Debian install, and you can't put the standard Debian on the eMMC you have to hack it to make it work.
The Pi hardware isn't the best, nor is it cheapest, but the community has a lot of support built around it. There are pre-built images for all sorts of tasks and people have gone and done a lot of the hard work on it. I have a Pi and a BeagleBone and the BeagleBone, although slightly faster, has some braindamage that is hard to ignore. It has a built-in version of Linux, but it's hard to update and the eMMC space is a little too small to be really useful. So you boot off of SD instead, but that requires you to hold down a button while it is booting to bypass the eMMC. But then you notice that it doesn't have as many packages available as the Pi. No Chromium for instance, so you're stuck with the really stripped down and mostly broken browsers. The worst part is that by industry standards, the Beaglebone is above average. You can pick up one of the many much more powerful and featureful AllWinner boards, but find yourself utterly stymied by the horrendous state of the documentation and lack of community. It's really hard to get real work done if you have to do all of the groundwork yourself.
Isn't that how game companies work? They hire fresh faced grads, work them like dogs for a few years and then let them go once they get the skills to demand good pay and reasonable working conditions. Or they just burn out entirely and change professions. That's one reason why there is so little institutional knowledge in game companies and they end up making the same mistakes over and over again.
It's not hard to see why this happens. The industries they are trying to regulate (or deregulate) are hideously complex and don't discuss the details of their work with the government if they don't have to. So a regulator has little chance of writing workable legislation without outside assistance, and the only outside people with knowledge of the industry work in it. This is the fundamental reason communism doesn't work beyond small agrarian communities--it puts people in charge who are not working in the field daily and don't have the mass of knowledge necessary to properly manage the resources. That said, the answer is clearly not "let the industry self regulate", because that guarantees destruction of the commons and oppression of the working class. Sadly I don't have a good solution to this problem, all I know is the current solutions don't work.
Didn't the US officially go metric back in the 80s? Not that it means anything obviously, but there was a push to make sure Metric was taught in schools and used where convenient.

Which means they sent $100 to Apple? Is this shocking?
If you think 400GB of email alone is too much you clearly have never worked in a company that allows you to mail powerpoints around.
In other words they covered it exactly the same way they cover the Olympics?

Nuclear isn't particularly "clean"--refining the fuel is messy, but it is low carbon.
