Now there are more than just EURion constellation in money to trigger scanners, there are other security features in bills that do it.
Novel was sci-fi about future, and the governments did have that behavior built into security cameras. Maybe some kernel BLOB was required and enforced by treaty? Not hard to imagine as an analogous situation to scanners.
These aren't measures of how much languages are used, they're useless bullshit as asking which languages generate the most Twitter Tweets? Facebook posts? News articles?
Number of jobs held would be interesting.
So would number of unique jobs openings for each language.
Remember the "worlds ugliest t-shirt" in one of William Gibson's novels? All cameras in that book's world were compelled by their firmware to fill image of the wearer of that suit with background. One could laugh at such a notion except....scanners won't do banknotes
Nonsense, the meaning of moon in astronomy for centuries also includes any planetary satellite. You'll note in the 1600s Galileo discovered the "Galilean moons".
that and other dangerous things Intel in particular does have been pointed out at various times over the years, for example the OpenBSD developers have been harping on those things for a couple decades. The reaction to that is generally along the lines of "Theo is an asshole", etc.
because privately owned machines don't have vulnerabilities allowing remote access? the updates for OS and firmware and drivers and code you pull down will never contain malware? Hell there have been printers that infect other machines on the same network....
even gcc had to be forked from the ivory tower weenies (e.g. Stallman, who also couldn't make a useful OS to save his life) and pounded into something useful by people that had common sense, which really is quite lacking in 80% the open source community.
we've already proven that 10,000 eyes won't find shallow bug after decades. Even speculative execution as laid out and taught theoretically 20+ years ago would have been found to leave trails in caches but no one thought of that (that was believed, heh)
and there is no way in hell the open source community can design any kind of chip you'd want to use with even Pentium II level specs, people take classes in basic architecture and then think they know what a current intel CPU is like...they have no fucking idea, it's the difference between a 19th century steam engine and a turbofan.
So you are distracted at the traffic light and don't see the kid on a bicycle that is riding along the line of stopped cars, and you then turn and kill him when the light turns green?
Or someone jogging across at the last moment during yellow light?
indeed, at least one of the chips mentioned has issue. Still waiting for someone to fiddle with Power8 and UltarSparc to see if it has issue. Itanium is claimed not to, haven't heard of evidence to contrary yet.
no, it would be possible to have speculative execution without this problem by hardware dedicated to clearing caches. Power8 might not have this problem, have to wait for reports
intel not only made claim but specifications of memory separation and protection.
This discovered violation of their claim of memory protection vulnerability means valuable information is at risk and must be mitigated with costly measures.
Google and Amazon can be plaintiffs by themselves, yes.
does it have speculative execution? if so, is it also vulnerable in similar way? Intel doesn't have monopoly, they have competitors in mobile, desktop and server spaces.

if you want to watch a movie at the time you didn't need nor use a personal computer, you used an appliance that cost 15% of what a computer did.
Nah, I'm guessing browser tech such as javascript and flash, mobile apps with embedded malware, and on the server side PHP the cause for entry.
And now we're seeing our hardware itself is deeply flawed...from mobile chips to desktop to server to mainframe.

should be doable, e-ink on cloth came out 7 years ago
4. kiddies make new patterns faster than researcher's can learn them; it's a whack-a-mole!

Microsoft are just covering themselves for liability by cliaiming that; if sued they would say it's Intel's fault.
The microcode / firmware fix will be a new processor
it's in the mind of the beholder, I'm sure PRAVDA said "graced"

shoot the perp in the head with good ol boy hunting skills, not this bullshit of negotiating for hours.

well, we'd need some kind of location system with transceiver in each bicycle. they could call it Google Peddler Seeker or something
It also has speculative execution bugs, as does every power7 through 9 chip. Thanks for playing though.

No. Drivers need to pay attention at the lights!
I also saw RedHat's statement that the power-based chip used in Z series mainframes is vulnerable.
Still looking for definite word on Sparc which is now done by Fujitsu
update power7 and power8 have this problem as do the IBM Z series processors which are related. Itanium claimed not to have problem.

yes private ownership and wealth with the choice of what to do with it is in the Bible; if you don't like that find another religion.
of course, mythical person who didn't exist in history isn't a god nor will find path to anyone's heart.
