Well, there is one known vulnerability, the bus between the TPM chip and the BIOS is unencrypted so you could in theory tap that bus and recover the keys after a successful login.
Yes, but if you have the room at the tipping point what does this do to your ability to recover from a fault? I know one reason many datacenters have experienced outages even with redundant systems is that the AC equipment is almost never on UPS and so it takes some time for them to recover after switching to generators. If you are running 10F hotter doesn't that mean you have that much less time for the AC to recover before you start experiencing problems? For a large company with redundant datacenters or in Cisco's case where they are mostly development labs it probably is worth the risk, but for your average small to midsized corporate datacenter it's probably smarter to stay with the tried and true.
Panasonic Toughbook would handle it fine, of course they are a LOT more expensive and not really gamer specced. I wonder if any of the 7th gen consoles could survive such mistreatment?
The VAST majority of politicians at the state level on up are lawyers. For this and many other reasons I think we need to severely limit the number of law school slots.
In the US to be a professional engineer you need a BS plus experience plus you need to pass a professional engineering exam (much like the bar exam for lawyers). I fail to see how that's any less rigorous than an MS.
Why would they want to do that? They just hit their recruiting goal earlier than ever with a better quality of average applicant. Trust me, no officer wants to go to battle with conscripts if they can at all help it.
Most musicians have terrible hearing due to innumerable hours spent in front of audio equipment. Not saying the KRK's are bad, just that asking musicians for opinions on audio equipment based on their hearing isn't the best idea. Now asking studio engineers....
Not sure why there would be a flamewar, anyone with ears can hear that AAC+ sounds better than any other codec at low bitrates. I listen to Groove Salad from SomFM in AAC+ because I can't tell the difference between the 48k AAC+ stream and the 128k mp3 stream and it costs them almost 1/3rd the bandwidth for the AAC+ stream. Now for general use I use mp3 because it's universally supported which is obviously NOT the case with AAC+.
The biggest thing you will notice on good equipment with even high bitrate MP3's is cymbal muddying, it's just the nature of the codec. I'm not sure if Vorbis 1.x fixes that or not but I submitted test samples back in the.9 days that were worse under Vorbis then the version of LAME available at the time. For everything else ~200-220 Kbps VBR LAME is transparent for me.
Then how about they come up with a license that's just a patch rather than a re-write like GPLv3? How about a GPL2.1 for those of us who prefer the old trunk?
I don't think there are many people with beach houses near Newark. The best spots on the Great Lakes are actually on or over the horizon from shore so it shouldn't be an issue here either. Martha's Vineyard was probably a stupid place to try to spot one of the first offshore farms, next to the Hampton's it's probably got one of the highest concentrations of Billionaires and politicians on the east coast.
Yeah, I'm kind of wondering what the payoff is. I know that living in one of the cities with the lowest average solar insolation that I would do way more good for the environment by buying one panel for someone in AZ then plastering my entire roof with panels. Of course like Jersey we DO have a large body of water with a significant amount of available wind energy, so why aren't they building large scale wind farms just offshore instead of subsidizing inefficient use of solar panels?
linked at the bottom of that article but here (in German but screenshots speak for themselves), the quoted ATI rep basically admits it too by saying that they optimize for the best "visual experience" where that's some mix of visual fidelity, framerate, etc.
ATI altered the rendering with that hack reducing image quality. It's really hard to get 15% better performance without doing something underhanded unless your previous drivers were beta quality.
That's probably a matter of the optimization path in the games that are run and would probably result in an unstable system if done for general gaming. Tricking a game into running the incorrect codepath just seems to be asking for trouble IMHO.
Actually my buddy works in IT in telemarketing, specifically supporting charitable organizations. His job is to maximize hit rates and avoid calling people like you and me at all costs. He actually deals with some challenging IT projects on a daily basis like merges between multiple hundred(s) of million row tables, data validation, historical lookbacks (who and what patterns of people donated in the past), localization (find one gatherer per neighborhood who uses their time to bring in more donations), etc. Trust me neither he, his company, nor their clients want YOU to be called.
Yes, but what you are missing is the people who are costing the HMO the most money are YOU, the customer. They will let you go the moment you need their services or the moment they can deny you coverage for your life threatening condition. Any fallacy about the market correcting the problem or unscrupulous companies going out of business flies in the couple hundred year reality of free market economies. You can argue that in a perfect free market with no barriers to entry and no government regulation that that equilibrium would be reached but that's a pipe dream. Economists are worthless (witness the fact that one of this years winner for the Nobel in economics was the founding father of the movement that led to California's energy deregulation), I'll go with the cold hard fact that we have the most expensive healthcare in the world with some of the poorest results and that all the countries that beat us on that simple metric have socialized medicine.
Also witness the fact that Medicare has an overhead of low single digits vs the healthcare industry which is approaching 25% between overhead and profits.
58.8M square meters (area of Manhattan) * 4 Kwh/day (mean insolation for NYC) = 235,200 MWhrs/day *.7 = ~160,000 MWhrs/day NYC peaks at ~32,000 MW on a hot summer day so even if you plastered the entire island in your solution it would amount to about 20% of their power needs. Localized production also has much, much higher installation and maintenance costs, even assuming they have roof access it's probably 5x cheaper for them to pay the utility to produce clean power elsewhere and transmit it at 93% efficiency. Scales of economy do exist and are a natural phenomenon, fighting them is futile.
No, they don't. You just have to find a sufficiently large cold sink, power plants become inherently more efficient as they scale is size until you can't find a large enough cold sink and then they decrease in efficiency. Scaling down has no maximum value because you are constantly working towards a less efficient design.

At least not with TPM hardware store, that's kind of the whole point. I'm surprised Bruce isn't aware of this combination.

Uh, I was actually countering Miamicanes supposition that most modern controllers have no buffer memory onboard and so that they were not infringing.
Most ethernet controllers have some buffer memory to achieve offload functionality.

On a day where most of the microchip stocks are up on good Intel earnings NVDA is down.

5 year, 1 year, YTD, and since IPO charts all disagree with that assessment.
