Since did slashdot become a giant advertising hoarding and stop posting real technology stories. Eleven mentions of Microsoft on the front page of the Microsoft slashdot. Followed by mentions of Netflix, D-Wave, Samsung, Roku, Apple, National Geographic, Uber, Amazon. "Jeff Bezos is the richest person in modern history". If I want to salivate over rich people I could read about it in Forbes Magazine:]
Is there any difference between Apple, Linux and Windows in running these tests. Does the fact the most of Edge is baked into the kernel add anything to it's performance?
"The critical Meltdown and Spectre bugs baked deep into modern computer processors"
That should be, the critical Meltdown and Spectre bugs baked deep into Intel x86 architecture processors. And such bugs wouldn't so serious if we didn't run our computing on a monoculture. As in nature, when a bug comes it doesn't wipe out a whole population.
"Spectre lets attackers access protected information in your PC’s kernel memory, potentially revealing sensitive details like passwords, cryptographic keys, personal photos, or anything else you’ve used on your computer"
It's for razor sharp analysis like that, that I come here for:]
'Jessica Price was fired last week after she accused a Twitter user of "mansplaining"'
No she wasn't forced for "mansplaining": ref:
'After a long AMA on the Guild Wars 2 Reddit, Jessica Price; a writer for ArenaNet, went on to Twitter to post a 25-part essay on how she comes up with stories, and what is relevant as far as stories in todays MMO's. (Very rough synopsis, quite a good read.)
After posting the essay, many community members chimed in to thank Price on sharing her views, and how insightful the read was, with one very popular community member; who has his own NPC inside of Guild Wars 2, commenting on the essay hoping to be able to start a civil and polite conversation with, one of his favorite writers. (He denotes this in his Twitch stream before the Twitter debacle)
The attempt however at starting a polite and civil conversation with the ArenaNet Writer, ended in Price slandering and defaming the community member as a sexist who is trying to mans-plain the job to her, even after the community member apologized for trying to start a civil conversation. (Community member posted a total of 2 Replys to Price, the first being the initial polite conversation starter, the second the apology for attempting communication.)
The next day on July 5th (This all occurred on July 4th), ArenaNet's CEO Mike O' Brian released a statement on a Guild Wars 2 Reddit post stating that Jessica Price and another ArenaNet member have been fired for harassment of an community member, when no such harassment was necessary.'
"The information operatives who worked out of the Internet Research Agency in St. Petersburg did not stop at posing as American social media users or spreading false information from purported news sources"
This feeds into the MSN narrative as to how Putin influenced the US election through Facebook and Twitter posts. The truth being that across the board the media was totally opposed to Trump and fully positive for 'Hillary'. The American decided to not believe the MSM message and voted in Trump. This BS being designed to distract from the lobbying system that really influences things in Washington. No one believes your bullshit anymore.

Intel could have been first in mobile space, except for Microsoft repeatidly leaning on them to stick to making chips for the IBM PC, that would be IBM, 'the PC company' as they referred to them in internal emails:
March 1994: "IBM has a LOTUS NOTES.. We have entered another round of "partnership" talks with the PC company and mentioned this as an issue, but they claim thay can't fix this for us."
Dec 1996: "we have a conference call with them (intel) re NetPC today at 9.. yup, it would be crazy to Intel define this the only urgent issue I can think of is defining how it boots, if we let Intel do this in a proprietary way we're screwed."
Oct 1997: "I have a critical meeting with Intel a week from Wednesday. I want to convince them that they need to stay away from Oracle NCs and work more closely with Microsoft."
Nov 1997: "IBM refused to big anything related to Backoffice. I said they to use their PCs to distribute things against us. I said they are dabbing in NCs in a way we don't like.. Overall we wil never have the same relationship with IBM that we have with Compaq, Dell and even HP because of their software ambitions.. On their side I mean JAVA and NC."
Nov 1997: "Intel.. did 2 things that amaze me: They kept the NC specification around despite saying they would not.. They snuck in a server specification. There is some failure in communication"
Nov 2001: "I think we will have to live without a Chinese wall clause for the front end of the compiler.. If we don’t get Intel off of Linux internally (the failed EDA project) – we will never get the *cultural* alignment that we want'

Does 'Changing Up' have the same meaning as improving and why is slashdot now writing its titles in ebonics?

No, as the fault lies in the underlying Intel MMU hardware
Just how desperate do you have to be to not mention Micropsia only runs on Microsoft Windows.
