I remember you could switch an Atari 80 off and switch it back on again and the RAM boards still had the contents that were present before the system was switched off.
You mean the cold boot attack? Memory keeps readable for minutes after power-off, which can be drastically prolonged by rapid refrigeration.
Most people can't even hear well enough to differentiate between the quality of analog vs digital
Because there is no difference. The last time I checked, my ears were still analog, thus you need to convert to analog at some time. The only difference here is whether the DAC is before or after the connector.
And with no requirement for any electronics, headphones can be really cheap. I've seen earbuds sold for 1.2PLN = 0.31USD. Yeah, 31 freaking cents while with the new connector being proprietary, price estimates for the dongle start at 30-40 dollars.
There's like twenty other init systems, and somehow every single of them but systemd manages to be relatively easy to replace.
Glibc is replaceable: musl is pretty feature-complete. It's intentionally not bug-compatible, though, preferring being true to POSIX rather than glibc, which means programs relying on specific glibc quirks might need some porting. Any sane upstream accepts such portability patches (guess which init system refused them...).
And as for the kernel... on Debian, beside Linux, you have kfreebsd (in a good shape), hurd (in a bad shape, but that's a fault of Hurd not the porting), and if you include unofficial ports, there's Solaris.
The ME has complete control of your network card, making delivering a secret payload both easier to do and harder to find than anything which uses the main CPU.
Not in the next 3 months, this backdoor has been there for a decade. And even if you knew the specs of the ME, you need Intel's signing key to put your code there.
Intel has some pretty competent engineers, I do believe that this is secure, and near-impossible to be hacked by anyone who hasn't paid Intel, either in money or in contracts/connections/legislation, especially the last part. Thus, it is certain this whole feature was really lucrative for Intel.
And no, you don't go that far out of your way to make engineering decisions whose only reasonable explanation is to make a backdoor hidden to not actually use it.
Traffic between you and the Tor node can be trivially disguised as a https or ssh stream. For an attacker with a limited view of the network (ie, an ISP but not the government), there's no way to tell https-in-tor-in-https from just regular https, and plenty other usage patterns are indistinguishable as well.
Just look at the open source, and then adapt your eves dropping to accommodate. This is where closed source prevails. No leaking implementation details.

Facts can be cherry-picked, or, as in this case, lumped into one basket when you need to look for differences.
GMO in general are not harmful. Certain modifications by Monsanto, and nearly 100% of their tactics, are massively harmful.
78% of Crapdot stories are worse under the new editors.
What's your baseline? Because if you mean Dice time, I completely disagree.
Must be a regional thing. Not working in Spain.
Nor in my backwards country Kerry forgot about.

And he would require everyone who dies the old way to adjust to his change.
as if he invented the concept of a 90-day free trial
There's a bit of difference between an one-time evaluation that can't be extended, and an automated repeated process that continually renews certs.
What's stopping a third party from making a Lightening to audio jack cable?
The Lightning protocol is proprietary.

I'm afraid you used wrong tense.
There are villages in Texas, Kenya, and two in New York, missing their idiots.

Which, in addition to Ockham's razor, is an argument against existence of god.
So, are you arguing that Obama, Hillary and Trump are all mentally ill? They all mentioned that they're praying.
Duh. For those three, there's so many other clues they're mentally ill, no need to single out prayer.
Though I don't think it's possible to be an Islamic extremist without also being mentally ill.
Applies to all religions, actually.
So these days the word for "racism" is now "racial justice"?
Both are ruled by Republicans.
Oh yeah, especially that evil Google is putting its weight to let Trump win.
I wonder if you could have made your links clickable. Perhaps sir Berners-Lee could suggest a way?

Use pwgen for valid phoneme combinations. That gives less entropy per character, but is significantly easier to memorize.
it was because it is a little embarrassing (in 2016) to have a technology focused website that is not making use of IPv6
Hmm... then let's see the aaaa records for slashdot.org...

Some of us know how to RTFB.
The password is "dinamit" not "dinamit,". That's a quite important distinction. Broken XIX-century colonial style needs to die.
