"Just stop. You can't be serious. In the era of the C64, you had to write your own memory allocators to do anything interesting."
That's one of the reasons we have such shit security today. People don't understand these fucking concepts and think they can just spam shit code all over the goddamned RAM stack and things like garbage collection and 'safe coding languages' will magically fix everything.
"Yes, and door locks are useless and inherently insecure because it has been proven that keys can be stolen! Yes, you are a fucking idiot."
No, you're the idiot in this case, boss. Your analogy is flawed, the OP is more correct. 2FA can be 'picked' by 'tricking' the phone company into thinking a legit user "the key" is requesting a transfer.
Thus doors and locks are inherently secure because they can be picked, keys be damned.
I say that as I hold 9 different acrylic-body locks, made specifically for the purposes of learning how to pick locks.
Protip: Anyone with a small flathead screwdriver bent 90 degrees at the shaft and a thin rigid piece of metal with a tiny curve at the end can rape your typical door lock/deadbolt in about 3 seconds, just raking it. Invest in something better than a typical key design. No, barrel keys are not an acceptable replacement, those only take about 5 seconds.
"So non removable batteries were a cunning NSA ruse?"
Given you can make a bugging device paper-thin and utilize almost zero power with today's tech, where better place to put it then right atop a giant (comparatively for power draw of device) fucking battery?
No, you need YOUR ass kicked, because your parents obviously didn't fucking teach you that you have no fucking business telling other people how to act elsewhere in a forum you do not control.
You need to be beaten and bloodied until you understand perfectly how fucking retarded you are, since your parents obviously didn't do it for us.
Oh, look. The FreeBSD team has an HQ in California, where we have some FUN laws regarding tortious interference of contractual relations.
Fucking idiots. It probably won't be more than a couple of years before FreeBSD is gone because of project abandonment and the social justice nazis (because, yes, this deep level of life interference is exactly what the Nazis did) chasing everyone away.
This is effectively a tortious interference of contract. If I were on the BSD team, I would be subject to monitoring of my personal stuff outside of the scope of their project, which means I could not speak freely on sites which guarantee me the ability to speak freely.
Fuck no. The BSD team needs to have their asses sued, beaten, and bloodied until they understand that you don't fucking tell people how to live their lives outside of 'work.'
And you can GUARANTEE that the FREEBSD team is too fucking cowardly to come right here and defend their obviously illegal bullshit.
I propose that all stories about FreeBSD be banned from Slashdot. Let's police their ass right the fuck back.
Those of us with brains warned them about the scam. They didn't listen. Perhaps I could sour their lawsuit by demonstrating that they were given fair warning to NOT invest.
"tl;dr - global CO2 emissions will continue to rise until China has a way to generate energy which is cheaper than coal and doesn't emit CO2."
Oh, fucking please. They could've utterly stopped using coal with the pure amount of solar panels they produced and sold in the past ten years with their fucking rigging of the REE market.
You're a fucking idiot because UT wasn't around until 1999, so you utterly fail at knowing game timelines and the time line in which I speak (not that it actually changes what I said, the same held true all the fucking way back in 1996 in my high school drafting class - the OpenGL systems were lower-spec versus the systems running Direct3D of the same CAD software, but still rendered far faster.
"Also Direct X won at the time because it actually produced faster and better rendering for games"
No, no it was not. DirectX had (and still has) serious CPU overhead. Where you needed a 233 MHz machine with 32MB RAM and an 8MB GPU to run UT with Direct3D, you could do the same performance on a 133 MHz Pentium, 16MB RAM, and a 4MB OpenGL or 3Dfx card.
"Though satellite prospecting of this sort has been employed before, reads a new report in The Economist, to look for metals such as gold and copper, using it to search for lithium is new."
Nope, I've been using ASTER and LANDSAT 7/8 for years to do mineral-specific prospecting. I just finished a trip out to Lavic near the 29 Palms bombing range hunting boron and lithium minerals.
These guys are what's new, not the technology nor technique.
Most people read a guide and in those guides they're told to undervolt their GPU, thus letting it run cooler. But I see you don't bother reading the manuals, so hey.
Slashdot Mirror
Yea, no. I've got physical folders and folders of CDs and DVDs from a couple+ decades ago. All of them in quite pristine condition.
Learn to get archival-quality WORM media and you generally have no issues.
Meanwhile, you need to hope that your backup ISO copies don't get corrupted, malware-infested, etc. Have fun!
"There is no mention in there of him losing any data either (or having even checked to see if any data was lost)"
I mean, right in the fucking summary:
"The upgrade deleted the cached, or backup, version of Windows 7."

Busted quite simply and thoroughly. They know when you're sitting or standing, or exiting a vehicle, with everything supposedly turned off.
The entire advertising industry needs to be regulated, and hard.
"How many 10 year olds could understand that manual?"
I had no problem understanding the TI-BASIC programming manual when I was 6.
That was in 1988.
Today's droolers? I don't know.

What is this, the new "I'm behind seven proxies" for software?
Because it was on slashdot the other day, you fucking moron. There needs to be at least one week before we get dupes.

"I'm sure everyone reading this already knows the obvious, but AMD is not affected by Meltdown in any capacity."
This theoretically isn't true. A DPA attack might be enough to open a hole for Meltdown-style problems.
The funny mod was probably maxed out for that post.

You have no clue what you're talking about.
Fuck no, I keep them to use for myself. Yay lack of a windows key to get in my fucking way when gaming!
"Also Direct X won at the time because it actually produced faster and better rendering for games"

In my OP above, if you failed to read, the source DIRECT FROM FUCKING APPLES OWN PAGES.
I also used to be an Apple service tech, so I know damned well what their policies are.
It's not the card, it's the driver support.
Also, easier to make a harder algorithm.
