They sent John Podesta a bogus email, and he clicked the link. Because of that, we now know the entire DNC plotted against Bernie. The only actual "election hacking" that took place is how the democratic party apparatus chose and coronated the only possible person who could lose to Donald Trump (of all people).
During the PRIMARIES he did. The left wanted Trump to be the GOP front-runner so they could have an easy win in the general. Then they nominated literally the only person that could lose to him.
In.NET, no. About 6 years ago I was tasked with rewriting our base-64 encoder/decoder. We were using MS's built-in encoder and is was too slow to handle a multi-GB inbox (we sold a shrink-wrap email server for ISP's). First I rewrote it in regular math operations, and it was faster, but not fast enough. I rewrote it again using bit-shifting operations and it was an order of magnitude faster. I really had to reach back into my days coding MUD's in C for that. We really take our faster computers for granted, and our code is far from the level of optimization we were once required to achieve.

*infringement.
C'mon, this is Slashdot. We've been making that clear distinction since 1997.
Every time the Borowitz Report comes out, I have to correct a handful of outraged friends who share it seriously. We are, altogether, no longer skeptical readers.
Uh, that's not true. The confederate states declared their successions starting in the November of Lincoln's election, and formed the Confederacy in February. it wasn't until they attacked Fort Sumter in April that the Union responded.
Uh that's not true either. Mine was a simplification to make a point. You're making out like the union sat around doing nothing until the confederates fired a shot. That's not true either.
Actually, yes, it is true. Until the firing of Fort Sumter, Lincoln's strategy was to pretend the articles of secession did not exist. Until his death, his position was that the seceding states had never left the union as a matter of legal fact.
I accidentally modded down. Posting to erase. Absolutely insane. Whether you agree with a country's tax schemes, a sovereign nation has the right to decide these issues for themselves. More incomprehensible to me is why any sovereign would agree to such external interference in the first place. The benefits of being in a free-trade zone, no matter how lucrative, are not worth handing your balls over to Brussels. Money should not be worth more than dignity.
It's probably something as simple and stupid as catchless try (which I have seen on DB ops more times than I care to think about) in misguided attempt at "graceful degradation."
How do you back up data that was never stored? Or logs for transactions that never completed? And how, even if you had those transactions, would you meaningfully restore them when the restoration process itself would simply repeat the result of overflowing the available indexes?
This isn't a typical disaster recovery scenario. The architecture itself is at fault, and the data is lost.
You don't understand the problem. The battery isn't too big, it's too thin. The protective sheath between the layers is too easily punctured. And no, you can't replace it with a thicker battery.
Origin Systems was a game studio EA purchased. They produced Ultima, Wing Commander, and System Shock. They were absolutely awesome and I loved everything they did prior to EA buying them. Then they ruined both Ultima (with Ultima IX) and Wing Commander (with Privateer 2), and shuttered the studio. It's one of the many corpses of once-great game studios EA as left in its wake.
All the early DVD's of the "Special Edition" came with a "Bonus Disc" that had the theatrical version. They're all over. I've got two of them; watched it last night.
Scrutinizing the president is back in vogue with the everyone-but-Fox media. If we got nothing else from this election, at least we now only have one outlet carrying the president's water for him, instead of all-but-one.
And how exactly are you going to be assured if they were real or fake? Ask Russia if the information they already denied stealing is accurate?
No, you ask the people who wrote the emails. There were no denials. Even so much as a "I didn't really write that" would have put the whole story in its grave.

But blame Russia.

Well, them and people who read books like Hacker's Delight. Really great book, btw.

Also, DOS 5.1 Manual. But after a while, you didn't need it anymore because you had it memorized.
And when Congress refuses to pass those budgets, everyone bitches about obstructionism. Damned if you do...
The Halloween emails were almost 20 years ago. No one from that time is left in Redmond. At some point, it's time to let it go.

The Secret Service is the Department of Treasury, not the NSA.
Then they get a fine, or a visit from the cops. Their problem.

How about a searchable archive of lobbyists who show up at the WH. Heck, let's extend it to Congress, too.

Downmods are too young to remember this classic 90's Pace Picante ad reference.
We need to discuss the definition of the term "white hat" hacker, maybe.
Take that shit back to Imgur or Reddit or wherever the fuck you got it from.

And here you are complaining about the one running who doesn't have a history of taking bribes for setting US policy.
Did you actually read my post?
