It seems that Oracle fired ALL the Sparc CPU engineers. The Sparc CPUs might as well be vulnerable as Oracle has not released ANY statement since the beginning of the Specter/Meltdown fiasco to say whether their CPUs are vulnerable or not.
We did tests on a Power 8 frame with real-life Java application and Oracle DB workloads. - up to ~30% slower for Java - up to ~15% slower for Oracle DB
WAS more secure.
For example Power 8 CPUs are affected badly by Specter & Meltdown variants.
IBM put out a mandatory* update for firmware, microcode, PowerVM & AIX to fix this. Problem is that it introduces a huge slowdown in Java & Oracle DB workloads - We've seen things running up to 30% slower in our tests.
* = mandatory as in all future AIX updates have a dependency on those being installed.
Anyone has any advice on building a Alexa/Siri/OK Google device at home using only local resources ? If the 1993 68k Macintosh-es were able to accept vocal commands with PlainTalk without internet connections https://www.youtube.com/watch?... we should be able to do this today easily.
Example: - Samsung printer C410W with NFC - Samsung phone S6A with NFC Action: Enable NFC on the phone, install official Samsung printer mgmt app, tap phone on printer on designated area. Result: Pop-up on the phone with "Invalid device"
NFC on Android might have been around for 5 years, but...
If ISPs win and will no longer have a Title II Order classification - will this mean they are no longer a public utility so their easement for the cables crossing my property is no longer "en gross" so i can charge them a rent fee for private land use - right ?
If the ISPs are no longer Common Carriers, can i bill AT&T for the use of my land for their buried cable and distribution box in my front yard given that i'm not their customer ? $10/day/feet sounds reasonable:)
Elon Musk said that the two side boosters were using the newly developed titanium guidance fins - and he's happy those two landed fine as those things were expensive and will be reused for other Falcon9 boosters. The center one used the old-style fins (you can see in the pre-launch photos, the fins look different).
HPE says Itanium is not vulnerable. Older ARM cores (like the one in Raspberry Pi) are not vulnerable. Looks like Oracle fired all Sparc CPU design team so they have not responded yet if they are vulnerable or not.
Thanks, American Govt for lending our tax money to Tesla and getting them all back 9 years earlier than expected with full interest. https://www.tesla.com/blog/tes... Maybe the knuckle-draggers, once they go electric, will also repay their loans.
Yes ! Send those troops to Rome to show those pizza-smelling Italians that the US cares about it's security as much as it cares about learning geography.
If they would have declared that they really wanted to interfere with the ingauguration, they would have had some sympathizers. But as they just wanted to use those cameras for spamming & ramsomware - to Gitmo with them. Daily waterboarding please. And they should be joining by whover's responsible of those cameras security holes.
CAT5 ? To connect to your brand new 486DX 66Mhz PC ? Maybe you can just run two parallel iron wires and send long and short electrical signals over them.

Yes, the /. summary is taken straight from the TFA.
So Brandon Hill, MojoKid and BeauHD - please pay a bit more attention.
24 * 2 = ?
Hand in you geek badge when you exit. /.
Confusing 10Base-2 with 10Base-5 is a big offense here on

From where have you bought the mask ?

Oh Noes !
Some not-very-cheap car that you can only buy next year (if you're lucky) has the same stopping distance as a Ferd F-teenthousand.
But when will we see Slashdot articles about the New Dacia Sandero ? (read last part in James May's voice)
Also, what's a "plattform" (with double t's) ?

Must be a beta version - no visible interlocking mechanism.

No, no ...

Is that the inventor of Netstat ? ... maybe that's why it failed.
We tend to use "ss" now

Actually, the food in Romania is better :) But only the food.
And they do diserve whetever's coming to them.

Hmm... :-)
That doesn't sounds very good in english.
