    That's still typical sucky microcomputer architecture, shame the designers of our wintel boxes haven't learned a damn thing from the superior architectures of decades past. Past time we had some real PPU. The CPU involvement for the data transfers should be almost zero.

    nope, riots done by a minority of the population that could flop over dead tomorrow without affecting votes, taxes, work or economy. When the pasty white 22 to 45 year olds are burning the place down, wake me up to get the popcorn going, I love a good revolution that doesn't need english subtitles on cnn

    Greece? nope, guess again

    the business model is to engage in prolonged wars without plan or purpose, to line defense contractor pockets and provide patriotic fodder for politicians to feed the masses.

    this is not the widespread civil unrest you are looking for, this is by some afro-carribeans and other minorities. every one of them could flop over dead tomorrow and the government would still have its taxpayers, workers, voters. This is not the kind of civil unrest that is a threat to government

    False, the "agent provocateurs" were employed recently in the "austerity measure" riots recently.

    These UK riots are not by mainstream society, so the government is in no danger. Some civilian police officers might get maimed or killed, but that is another matter.

    Ongoing civil unrest by a tiny portion of its young minority populace? yes, it can survive forever.

    I have traveled to police states. moreover, I say the UK and USA are "heading in that direction", not that they have arrived yet. You are ignorant of your own situation.

    don't need enough police to deal with it, this is not mainstream society rioting

    Mainstream news sources of the UK (mainly bbc), actions and policy of their government, are the basis for my declaration they are heading toward a police state.

  15. Re:SSH tunnel to VPS? on Ask Slashdot: How To Combat IP-Based Censorship? · · Score: 1

    Yes, there is worse performance because of traffic to multiple ports and multiple protocols that have to be identified, wrapped and sent down the pipe to have those things undone. I use openvpn all the time, but its a resource pig when trying to do VOIP, web, rdp, etc. all simultaneously.

  16. Re:round 'em up on Technology Blamed For Helping UK Rioters · · Score: 0

    The UK has been moving to becoming a police state, more riots could speed things along for those in power to move the agenda along. Similar to situation we have here in USA, where FBI and Homeland Security find impressionable punks of low-intelligence, fill their heads with violent talk, provide them with weapons or fake bombs and plans for attempting to use the same, then arrest the lot with fanfare and accolades and mutual back patting all around. Thus providing justification for more funding, more stringent measures, less liberty, etc.

    and pay some inciters to heat things up, a bigger riot will afford more police the opportunity to look like heroes. Maybe even stage another shooting.

    No, in communism as always practiced by any country in this world, the state would come and seize the wealth needed, telling everyone that we're building for the future day when we can have the pure true communism. The seizers would have better life and more wealth than average person. People who had other points of view would be rounded up and imprisoned, tortured or killed (e.g. China, Soviet Union, Viet Nam, North Korea). Or they would be preemptively killed (see Khmer Rouge)

    Always a lie, that business of communism. It has caused much grief for various members of my family in several parts of the globe. In practice, just a religion of power and wealth grabbing, same as those who claim to be "capitalists" but instead are enslavers and thieves.

  20. Re:Fuel? No. on Anti-Matter Belt Discovered Around Earth · · Score: 1

    The 100 grams is useful for a certain type of space travel. Use of antimatter for any earthly use is very inefficient. I don't think you have cottoned on to the fact that antiproton production efficiency MUST be very low, there is no way around that fact.
