Perhaps you are correct for state level zero-day exploits seeking to avoid detection.
However, typical malware is not usually so discreet. Windows Updates provides remediation and protection against malware, limiting or eliminating existing infections. Typical victims of malware are usually less technically savvy, and thus would not be able to repair a machine themselves, nor would notice that Windows Updates was not working. So it depends on the target and the payload.
OTP is largely impractical for most purposes, and isn't commonly used in commercially available devices. I was referring to practical use, not principals. I was also unaware of the OTP.
I do agree that it is best practice to assume as a matter of principal that there is no "unbreakable" encryption, as any decryption option available can be compromised, even the OTP. Furthermore, most information has a source, which can be compromised, rendering the encryption in vain.
There is no such thing as unbreakable encryption. There is only the time required to break the encryption, which can be measured in hours, days, millenia, or even eons, with each generation of computer reducing the time required to break it.
We're not talking about the system, but the difficulty in bypassing the system. The system is relatively equal for encryption methodologies. It is usually the cipher length which determines how "large" the computing power needs to be to break it, due to the levels of entropy as I understand it.
Longer ciphers require more computing power to encrypt, and have a noticeable impact on performance after a certain level, but the difference in power needed to encrypt vs decrypt is exponential.
Republicans are big on profit, and corporate freedoms. If enough Republicans don't know enough about Net Neutrality, they would likely swallow any propaganda against it as harming capitalism. Republicans are big into the religion of capitalism, and usually back the "free market" solution. Even when we know that solution doesn't work. Capitalism is meant to be a tool, not a guiding philosophy. And Net Neutrality is about protecting and maintaining critical infrastructure. Roads, phones, internet, our nation depends on these things nowadays.
Some users have flashed the cards with firmware from the other line, and seen little difference. There are a lot more similarities than differences.
I think there were some specific features of the Quadro which at the minimum requires the Quadro driver and firmware to unlock, IF the hardware was present in the Geforce line.
Otherwise the Quadro drivers were crappy for gaming, most users noticed a significant increase in frame rates when using Geforce drivers on a Quadro card.
I suspect a bigger part of the issue is licensing. NVidia probably has to license code or patents for workstation/datacenter GPUs.
Possibly, but somebody running a Geforce in a datacenter should know the difference and know the risks. Most datacenters do not require a Geforce card.
More likely this is a push for more revenue. Is there something which workstation cards require that consumer level cards do not, which requires a greater investment from NVidia. A reason to charge more for workstation/datacenter cards as it were. Why such a drastic difference in price between SKUs?
"Datacenter Editions" of Windows is more a licensing thing than an OS difference. What I know about it so far, is that the Datacenter license is about Virtual Machine licensing. You license the host, and however many cores it has, and run as many VMs of essentially whatever Microsoft OS you want.
The recourse would be to prevent the drivers from working with server operating systems, and only work with the desktop version.
Lindows/Linspire used to be a KDE based Debian derivative right? Ie. Kubuntu. I don't recall what the final release was. XFCE is prpbably closer to what the made KDE 3.x into at the time, than KDE is nowadays.
Well, most of the customer base has found other distributions, but I preferred Xandros to Linspire. (Xandros bought Linspire/Lindows, and was the last owner I was aware of before today).
Alcohlics Anonymous highlights this. They have to hit rock bottom and want to change. Anything done until then is percieved as intrusive meddling and controlling, not visionary leadership for a better and brighter future. Until the Earth is beyond recovery, it cannot be assumed to anything we should put forth effort to fix.
I'm already getting serious slowdown from games optimizing for other Windows operating systems. Rebooting into Windows 7 offered an incredible leap in performance on the same rig for one game in particular, Makes the game as fast as it was when I first installed it on the old OS! That is what I get for playing an MMORPG.
I agree with the AC, the cost of recycling in a first world country is almost prohibitively expensive.
China's wages have been among the lowest, and as a result were very cost effective. I believe they were also the least regulated.
The U.K has a limited amount of land for building these projects, and it is likely that citizens or allied nations will be downwind and/or downstream of the facility, requiring expensive procedures to minimize the spread of toxic chemicals. Additionally, labor to work at these facilities will be significantly higher, possibly more than the national average if the risk of exposure is high enough. This means lower production levels at a higher cost.
Except we are not talking about creators and their creations. Creators, at least if you count organizations, have control over their creations.
Copyright is not about the creation, but subsequent imitations, usually identical given most copyrighted works are designed to be produceable at large quantities.
Copyright is about the inventor controlling who gets to be a creator, in order to ensure profits are funneled back to the inventor.
"He who controls the medium controls the message. He who controls the message controls the masses."
In this case Google is allowing each individual to "control" their own media. If the messages surrounding that individual are otherwise controlled, then that influence trends into Google's system. Such results in Google being "controlled" or influenced by sources outside of the user. This is the nature of the USA, for better or worse.

Now that is insanity.

I stand corrected.

Rednecks around here buy $3,000 gaming rigs, and literally throw them away when they get a virus.

Does Intel still have shares of AMD stock?
By "virtual memory" are we talking Page Files and swap space? Disk space as memory?
So an almost unusuable computer becomes completely unusable. Unless you're on solid state, then you get the performance of a mechanical hdd.

Maybe, but as I understand it, plastics produce more toxic chemicals when burned than petroleum.
