  1. Re:Responsible disclosure on Remote Bug Found In Ubuntu Kerberos · · Score: 0

    Good point. Also, sadly, not going to get looked at very closely due to the glennbeckishness of it.

  2. That's like... on Anonymous Claims Possession of Stuxnet Worm · · Score: 1

    That's like having possession of the ultimate supervirus, which will KILL ALL HUMANS who have blond hair, brown eyes, a beard, and a vagina.
    The thing is so damned specific it's useless.

    What the hell brother. Arduino is just another chip on a board. The reason why it matters is because it has a BIG FUCKING ECOSYSTEM around it. You don't have to reinvent the bloody wheel every time you want to do something. Kinda like how Linux is better than Minix - not because it is better by itself, but because thousands of people are using it and sharing their work.

    So while you're whacking off to an STM32 dev board, everyone else is building cool stuff.

    It's a good feeling to learn that something I figured out on my own was already invented by someone else and is famous. That's vindication of my thought processes.

    I did that with the automatic transmission (I was like 10), the toroidal supercomputer layout used by the early Crays, and variable-bit-rate encoding.

    Inventing something already well-known is not a bad thing. It's a very good thing.

    Yeah, I do have a problem with someone calling bullshit out of stupid animal reflex. Thirty seconds of reading the articles or the above and below comments would have explained that no, hitboxes are actually pretty forgiving in SMB if you exploit them just right.

    SMB has walljumps. They are extremely hard to do.

    Actually I think they leave it on the back to be engulfed in water, then drop it off the top of a building, then put it on a pedestal as a mascot of good engineering.

    Remember, as compelling it is, you have one story there. It's not data, I'm afraid.

  19. Re:Intel caught this one first? on Sandy Bridge Chipset Shipments Halted Due To Bug · · Score: 1

    Intel values its business, government, and enterprise segments. There can be no chronically flaky hardware at all, from one end of Intel's product range to the other.

    To counter the integration issue, heavy integration is a really good thing for reliability and cost control. Remember 1990? Remember failed video cards, failed disk controllers, failed sound cards, failed network adapters? There were a lot more of those, added together, than there are outright motherboard failures today. In fact, I suspect those failures have been absorbed entirely, with motherboard failures becoming no more frequent. That's a good thing.

    Replying to highlight.

    Just because everybody says something doesn't mean it isn't true. In fact, true things tend to get said a lot!

    Cussing is fun.

    Also, when you're throwing out f****** a***isks, you've already left polite discourse behind.

    I don't think this is an example of a slippery slope. Australia's ban-happy climate is more an example of evil people doing evil things for reasons that nobody actually believes.
