    no, these can pass through and be shit out like a small rock. are you going to worry about creatures eating rocks?

    not a valid analogy at all, the serial number is not used for any transaction.

    my credit card number is good without the card, that's the analogy.

  3. no. even the path that isn't eventually taken has the proper restrictions on memory access. The issue are "clues" left behind that other processes might snoop with certain weird and extraordinary measures.

  4. actually, don't worry about that. Since everything we buy is packaged in that stuff let's first see the content of all the food and drink and medicine we consume. probably the same story since, you know, the stuff has been used globally for decades

    you're confused, we destabilized the region first.

    We could start talking about Saddam was our buddy and we supplied him with billions of dollars for dual use tech to make WMD and gas people. And it went downhill from there.

    the USA has the blood of hundreds of thousands on its hands, attacking those who did not attack us for power and profit.

    No, there is a world of difference between simplified summaries and presenting provably false mythical nonsense as fact.

    Putin is very mature compared to the orange haired buffoon; sad that even an ex-KGB gangster has more statesmanship than who we have.

    oh, and the USA hasn't meddled with foreign powers, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths, maimings, starvation?

    In law "very great negligence" is a lesser used but equivalent term to "gross negligence".

  11. that's not how these vulnerabilities work. each process is only allowed to access its allowed memory. the bugs are from detectable side effects in caches and timings of operations

    your electric universe nonsense has been debunked many times. Black holes in this universe are electrically neutral, even the stars they came from are. The charged particles emitted from a star, including our sun, are both positive and negative.

    wrong, RSS is dying, look at any graph of # of site, it's plummeted in last 15 years.

    It's dead, Jim

  17. wrong, hugely controversial religion nonsense being pushed as fact on wikipedia.

    For example, look at the B.S. being pushed as the history of Jerusalem from the Bible, instead of the archeological facts such as at the time of the mythical king David the city was abandoned.

    Similar can be shown with "history" in articles of Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, etc. in Wikipedia.

    Passing off religious bullshit as fact is not what a proper encyclopedia does.

  18. nope, waste of money. the invasions of our privacy and bypassing warrants started under Bush and accelerated by Obama happened anyway.

    Wrong, people mentioning issues with outsourcing major projects to India or wanting to discuss demographics of inner city crime have been called racist. It is often a smoke screen raised to prevent rational discussion, a label thrown when no substantial argument exists.

    Wikipedia has articles about the major religions that state their myths as facts, e.g. Islam, Christianity, Judaism. How can it be an authoritative source with that nonsense poisoning it? It's worse than tin foil hatters, people are killed over that bullshit.

    so there would be plenty of warning.

    A really cool makes the sky green and sparks fly off of power lines...last one was 1859 and telegraph poles were spitting little bolts of lightning. well we can hope, no reason to go to work

  25. the routing issue may have been the fault of another major provider's route to comcast. Those of us who work in organizations that accessed across the continent or world see this kind of thing all the time. This has nothing to do with NN, and may even have nothing to do with comcast.
