This exactly -- virus writers have been at the forefront of code that hides and obfuscates itself and VM type systems were developed to essentially run the code to determine its effects without actually running the code.
So long as the code can be executed, it can be reverse-engineered.
You're calling people names because you think enumerating instances is hard?
With the exception of idiotic code like:
A = new something(); A = new somethinelse(); A = new justanotheridea(); A.somemethod();
Its almost obvious to write a quick search that finds all cases of [name] = [class_we_care_about] and replace [name].oldmethod with [name].newmethod.
For the record, Visual Studio couldn't do it for me when I used runtime class building so its not like IDEs are foolproof anyway -- thus the need for programmers who can actually code.
Also, I write software every day. Its not all I do, but I do a lot of it. Get over yourself. Your limitations do not extend to everyone, nor do your needs.
I will never understand the small-mindedness required to say 'prove it' to every single thing one cannot themselves fathom doing.
Its not standard practice, its a commonly requested nicety.
An awful lot of zero day exploits are so bad that people should know about them just as soon as manufacturers in order to defend themselves.
What's sick is that so many people in our day and age consider their cars, computers and everything else black boxes that should be managed from the outside instead of taking responsibility for them. I don't want auto manufacturers to fix the problem and distribute it slowly to people, I want people to realize how much of a problem this is so they can take their manufacturer to task. Auto manufacturers for all we know played fast and loose with designing these systems -- yet another reason to push for more not less openness.
As far as I know, you can load as many NVidia cards into your box as you have PCIe slots to handle them and load those with as many monitors as they can handle and get full acceleration on all of them on Linux.
What you may not get is 2D acceleration which Windows got favoured with years ago by drivers that are OS specific.
For those reasons, I greatly prefer Netflix to regular network/cable television viewing. I don't think we've even hit the critical mass for online television viewing yet.
I've found the reboot much more emotionally engaging and entertaining than the original ever was. The production quality and so on is only part of that -- the actual content is just better. Integrating so much of the original concepts as nods to the original while going off on a new more exciting tangent was very welcome in my home.
I find it funny how many people tell me there's nothing worth watching on TV these days but it turns out they don't watch actual series at all. There's quite a bit of good writing even on network television, especially compared to movies.
... then go read a study on how invalid 'feeling better' is, ie placebo effect and other self healing issues. Just because doing something made you feel better doesn't mean it had any biochemical effect on you at all.
I feel better when I eat candy too... does that mean I should eat candy? jeez.
Same here. Whenever a Windows user asks me why a video doesn't play, I ask if they've tried VLC yet. That always fixes the problem unless the file was corrupt (and even then, sometimes).
What are the odds that a group of people all agree something needs to be done about something they believe?
Does that have any correlation to them being right about it?
Climate scientists can't predict the future any better than nuclear scientists could or the millions of other people who've tried in other disciplines but aren't noteworthy. There's nothing comparable about the two groups at all that doesn't also include every other scientist alive with an opinion.
You are correct (in the if statement)... not bad for writing from the top of one's head in slashdot comments iidssm... but one still gets the point. I also left out getters entirely and assumed someone would point that out.
Use your own brains -- the NSA doesn't know who its interested in in advance, so they collect as much information as possible to use in later analysis once they find out who might be connected to a person of interest.
There's 1000 programmers on this site who can do twice as much in half the time but proving it proves nothing to you because you'd just come up with another random situation or claim that one was too simple.
I know your type, I have no reason to do anything for you.
Being entertained by violence is not the same thing as disseminating *real* violence for entertainment, which in turn makes a market for actually hurting people.

Your command of logic is stunning.
Lack of proof does not change anything.
Get a life, seriously.

Good to know. I've only done this with nvidia boards and never had problems myself. Just seems like an odd FUD post to hit slashdot at all.

Works out of the box for me too on an NVidia based card running dual screens.

First Contact wasn't good, it just sucked so much less than the other fare that fans thought it was good. Taken on its own, its still pretty bad.

You understand very little about that sequence of events I believe.
The software licensed to decrypt DVDs on Windows *isn't* VLC and that permission doesn't extend to all other user applications. Its still illegal.
The joy of poorly applied mental statistics.

They get better toward the end of the series, except the last.
I think I enjoyed 4, 5 and 6 the best. 7 was obviously "omg I need to end this".
I suspect the difference was that the editor began to care after the success of the first few.
This site is for literate people, sorry you stumbled in here.
The word you're looking for is Slashvertisement lol

Strange, but I've seen some really good Python code that worked just fine in 2.x ... Zope for instance.
