According to the TenFourFox blog about PowerPC vulnerability to Spectre and Meltdown. PowerPC is immune to Meltdown. G5 is vulnerable to Spectre but G3 and G4 may have some resistance.
A very satisfied customer here, full disclosure. Sonic.Net sent this out to their users.
"Today, net neutrality regulations, which protect your right to an open and fair internet, have been repealed. For anyone who uses the internet (so, everyone), you may think this sounds really scary. And you’d be right. The protections that made it illegal for ISP’s to throttle certain websites or make you pay more to access others are gone.
But, what we’re here to tell you is that no matter what, Sonic will remain committed to the principles of net neutrality.
Sonic always has and always will keep our internet connections open and equal. You can watch what you want, when you want, on any content provider you choose (Netflix, Hulu, HBO, SlingTV-- it’s all the same to us). We will continue to protect your right to privacy, and your right to not have your own data sold or shared. Ever. We will never charge you more to access certain sites, and we will never slow down others for any reason. Sonic will continue to stand up for everything net neutrality stands for, whether the regulations require it or not.
Since the beginning, Sonic has stood up for our customers. And that’s never going to change.
For us, the responsibility we have to our members is not a passing trend. When we say there is nothing more important than the customers who make up the Sonic network, we mean it. We’ll continue to back up our words with official policies that benefit you.
Please also share with your friends, family, and colleagues: you have a choice to support the ISPs that continue to support net neutrality and consumer privacy."
The floppy disc was floppy. It was just inside a hard plastic outer shell. Harder than the 5.25 inch variant. But the distinction in nomenclature between floppy and hard disks, was about the disk / platter, not the case/housing.
Not old enough to remember life before the internet. I remember life before _I_ was on the internet. But I was on the internet in the early to mid 1980's, so that's not saying a lot.
Life before the world wide web, I remember well.
I don't miss modems at all. Only being connected to one resource at a time, and having a time limit there, and having to disconnect to check somewhere else (and quite possibly getting a busy signal) -- that all sucked. So did being bumped off by Call Waiting.
The last interview with the head of that area of Facebook that I saw indicated that they used software algorithms to identify images that might be against their policies and then a human has to look at the result and determine if the software was correct or not.

My recollection was something along the lines of "Standards are great, everyone should have their own."
You wouldn't download a car...part. Oh wait!
Ah yes, the sequel to Victory Steaks, because Hamburger was too German, and Liberty Cabbage for Sauerkraut.

The Supersizers Go ... with Sue Perkins and Giles Coren.
First thing that I thought!
As long as it's along "the I5" and not "I5", I'm OK with that.

*70, was your friend.
You wouldn't download a child!
As the current street cleaning ticket in SF is $66, it sounds like there were more violations involved in your incident.
Michael Jackson analogies are the new car analogies. I would hope for more of these in the future.
Leave Blitzer alone!
Now that's the Slashdot I remember! Thanks for that.

I think we have a winner.
Intended typo AC? I'm chuckling either way.
Go back and read the charter, troll...
Vince Lombardi would disapprove of your current mod of -1...
