None of the articles of impeachment mentioned infidelity. He was impeached for lying to the grand jury. It was, in fact, a lie because his privilege to practice law before a number of courts was later removed for the very reason of having been caught lying to the court. So, even though he survived the political trial, the courts have confirmed that the charges against him were valid.
There were no revelations made about NSA which were not already suspected by non-general-public security specialists. Who else would administer it? UN? Most of its members would look to put in rules in place to increase censorship. US still remains one of the few places in the Western Civilization where speech is free by law. Even if it means offensive speech or speech which is not politically correct or speech which is "unethical" by some other subjective standard. Releasing control of ICANN from the US government would mean giving up the tenant of entirely free speech.
Not if your number of actively running processes is higher than the number of cores. That means more context switches. And that means full cache invalidation and mandatory memory access. If run a lot of VM's, and you want them to actually run, you don't want Intel. Well, they have a 10 core chip now, but that's comparing apples and oranges, if you compare the generation of chips when AMD had 8 full cores and Intel had 4 slightly faster cores, Intel was awful for running multiple vm's.
I tend to run multiple VM's. And running 4 VM's on a Win 7 machine means at least 5 concurrent cores are used (if all vm's are actually in run state and so is the host operating system). And I7 used to die (slow down to a complete crawl) with 5 vm's. AMD churns along with no problems.
Well, patterns in text are hardly as challenging to monitor as voice calls. So common carrier defense would not work. Twitter is the prime platform for farming financial sentiment data. It can certainly do enough automated filtering to reduce the info which gets twitted and is worth checking for terrorism advertising. This is no different than requiring safety standards from car manufacturers. In fact, it can be argued that much more unpredictability exists for a physical quickly-moving vehicle than for 140-character ascii text messages.
First of all, I said for anything BUT gaming AMD is a better processor. And the main reason for that is that while the each individual core is slower, it's true 8 cores (vs Intel's 6 cores on 5930k or even 4 cores which was all Intel could do for you when AMD's 8350 came out). The only way to actually use performance this high is to run poorly designed algorithms. Otherwise, the IO is much more of a bottleneck then the processing. The main reason Intel is better for gaming is not that it has faster cores. It's asymmetric L1 cache. AMD has symmetric (same input and output amount of L1 cache). So for most things that people use computers for (multitasking rather than really fast performance of small-thread-count tasks) AMD is a smoother experience.
They have different power schemas. And if you didn't think you'd ever use the processor fully utilized (as you mentioned), then why did you care about power consumption under load?
Just exactly how can first-person video of what a cop sees cost someone their life if revealed?
What if it's not going to cost anyone their lives, but could be plainly illegal (identifying information about minors or something like that)? This is new type of release request so there is no way there are guidelines in place for it. It's almost a guarantee that at least some of it had to be reviewed by lawyers.
What if it has to be reviewed by lawyers to determine if any laws would (or even could) be broken? Since it's new area for information release, it's feasible that no specific guidelines exist yet which can allow for this to be procedurally done by "trained" personal. What can or cannot be release is most likely still a judgement call by some lawyer. What if it also has to be transcoded to be edited? That's either hours by someone with some technical training or billable hours by an outside expert or firm.
Technically, speech can be protected, but a platform for disseminating speech? It didn't work for Napster. And since treason is defined as providing aid and comfort to the enemy and ISIL has declared itself to be at war with all western states, well, as absurd as it is, this case may have legs. I am not a lawyer though. So hopefully someone has a better way to defend the argument that censorship is not a good alternative to hateful.
I believe I said it's not possible, among other reasons, because it would only be safe until the 1st disgruntled employee at a large commercial firm. The probability of no such employee incident occurring approaches zero as time increases.
Aha. That's going to go over really well after both Google and Apple have already long purchased some prime Manhattan real estate. If this ever survives court challenges, this would put in jeopardy all the people work in those offices.
Must it also be sprinkled with unicorn dust? Talking about "legal fiction"! Just because they pass a law which says secure phones must be decryptable, does not make it possible for phones to be secure and decryptable. All other issues aside, encryption which is breakable is security through obscurity. And security through obscurity, in a commercial context, is at most safe until the first disgruntled employee. In reality it's even less safe than that because of possible accidental discovery of vulnerabilities.
Given how much everyone is in a love fest with QT (largely because it works "the same" on Windows), paying lip service to Gnome is not likely to drive system design.
While, what you say maybe generally true, MS has been on a big move towards telemetry gathering since Win 10 release. I've seen huge performance gains even in Win 7 and Win 8 simply by turning off newly-installed telemetry. The amount of telemetry vendors gather tends to be a huge drain on start up times. So this goes beyond simple privacy concerns. As much as everyone seems to be in love with Win 10, I think it's a regression (relative to Win 7) despite increased telemetry gathering. So you can't simply absolve MS in this case. They are not so much a villain here as a village fool.
Developers how have not figured out new ways of solving old problems. They dogmatically hit the wall in the same way over and over again. It's worse when developers with lots of experience get promoted into management and stay there because they can charm they way there. If they realize that it's a different type of job and start managing people (keep egos in check, deescalate tensions, etc.) while researching new ways of solving old problems and let people develop, they build people up. If they just try to farm people and keep on top, they don't realize when poison pills get introduced into the code because they are often the ones doing it. If you see a manager who thinks that Emacs (fine or vi) is the only way to develop code, you are seeing one of those. Progress in technology means faster and more effective ways of creating new technology. Orthodoxy is people trying to suck the blood out of the young while they are still young and set them on the way to thinking that the only way to advance in career is riding on their coat tails. Development is transformation of problems into solutions. It means culling the crud work -- not getting more effective at doing the crud work.
Microsoft still issues updates to Silverlight. They may have officially stopped supporting it, but that seems more of a legal trick to drop liability for any damages which may result from using it. The platform itself is alive and well, it just has the same status as all of Google's "beta" projects: not official.
There is a huge difference between the level of access given to customers and the level of access given to workers inside the financial industry. The actual people working in the industry are responsible for making deals worth in the hundreds of thousands, and sometimes millioins, on daily basis. I am not sure that forcing people like that to be present on site when they do that is such a bad thing.
XP is the the most successful OS of all time. So it's hardly surprising. And MS still supports the enterprise version (only consumer-end version is not supported anymore) and issues security patches for it.
that millenials are allowed to have any responsibility worth having in financial services industry? I have karma to burn, so fume and mod down all you want. But isn't this orthodoxy in technology actually a good thing if it keeps people with poor impulse control away from making decisions about significant-size financial transactions?

It's Tel Aviv university. Not exactly a high-tech hub. If the vulture was from Technion, that would be a different story.
Because he is the leading contender for a Presidential nomination from a major party? That would be my guess.

It's a better processor for anything but gaming.

Windows 10 supports IE.

Well, to be honest, the Fermat reference is what inspired the form in which I phrased my original post.
