Typing on a dv9825 and have repaired HP laptops professionally - what in the world are you talking about? I could use a power supply with a yellow tip on it from nearly 8 years ago and it would work with my laptop, and in fact I am. I hate the black tip ones because of the crap soldering near the plug.
ASLR is simply making sure core files aren't always loaded into the same address space - making it more convoluted. There are more twists, more hoops, more folds to go through, before you can get to what you want.
Convoluted - adj: Complex, intricate or complicated; Having numerous overlapping coils or folds
Once the BIOS has loaded and you're into the OS BIOS is no longer needed, so pulling the BIOS while the machine is on and booted into the OS is not an issue.
Excuse me, but video is a form of documentation. Same with photos. Text is very often the main substance of a document.
And I've caught solar cells on fire. I did the exact same thing as parent said, but I had ten marine batteries hooked directly to a solar cell without a trace charge controller. OOPS. I almost set the top of my warehouse on fire, thankfully I had a layer of fireboard laid down underneath the panel.
"Why Safari? Why didnâ(TM)t you go after IE or Safari?
Itâ(TM)s really simple. Safari on the Mac is easier to exploit. The things that Windows do to make it harder (for an exploit to work), Macs donâ(TM)t do. Hacking into Macs is so much easier. You donâ(TM)t have to jump through hoops and deal with all the anti-exploit mitigations youâ(TM)d find in Windows.
Itâ(TM)s more about the operating system than the (target) program. Firefox on Mac is pretty easy too. The underlying OS doesnâ(TM)t have anti-exploit stuff built into it."
That's right - Windows is harder to exploit because it's so damned convoluted. Macs are easy prey because they don't have that convolution built-in as a security measure.
It's only that much to build the equipment. Installation is a totally different thing, and maintenance is another, but the design I'm making is simple enough to be easy to maintain and not require so much maintenance to begin with.
On several boards I've been unfortunate enough to mis-flash, the fix was to find another board of the exact same model, pull the BIOS, install into the busted board, boot, remove the BIOS after it has booted (still powered on,) plug in the old BIOS, reflash.
I don't know if this approach works any longer. The last time I did this was about 7 years ago.
Too much CO2 hurts plants just like too much light hurts plants.
Any pot grower could tell you this. Eventually there is so much CO2 that aerobic bacteria in the soil can't do their job of fixing nitrogen into the soil (too much CO2 in the air) and a plant's health declines.
The roots and bacteria around the roots need oxygen and nitrogen. Too much CO2 will eventually cause damage to your roots through other means, just not directly. The elevated CO2 levels would displace oxygen and nitrogen, and create an unfavorable environment for your plants, which would eventually damage or kill them.
"Let me say that firstly, CO2 is not a pollutant, it's a plant fertiliser."
Incorrect. The reason a plant absorbs CO2 is for building carbon-bonds (like cellulose) and using the oxygen for energy.
It is not a nutrient, it is a building block. The nutrients (food/fertilizer) for plants are Nitrogen, Potassium, Phosphorous, Boron, Magnesium, Manganese, Iron, Copper, Zinc, Molybdenum, Sulfur, and a few other trace elements.
"Wind & solar are (at this time) cost prohibitive"
No, they're not. In fact, with a hybrid wind and solar design I'm working on, you can have both energy systems in one package and for a fairly cheap price. We have spray-on PV, and PV that can be printed out like newspaper, just check out Nanosolar.
I wish I had some extra funding for this idea, because just using the current tech I could theoretically generate enough power for the entire USA with about a quarter of Arizona's land using what I'm designing. Total cost *MIGHT* run about twenty to thirty million dollars.
Why not attribute it to the spider bite? We have snail toxins being used for painkillers. Why not use components of spider toxins to treat nerve problems?
Blame yourself for not shooting the fuckers in the head the moment you learned of their bullshit.
I've long known every politician is out to screw us - you just focus on the Democrats. there are plenty of Republicans. You don't see shit about them because the MEDIA IS REPUBLICAN-OWNED. Forget that fact? Of course it's in their best interest to spin this bullshit.
Jail is for those with misdemeanors/serving 11/29 terms, and is usually reserved for non-violent offenders. If you're a violent offender, you get solitary. Jail people can get "trusty" status where they can leave the jail and perform work or even supervise work. You even get asked if you want that status and you're given a chance to prove you're worthy of it. Hell, if you're LUCKY you might get transferred to a private corporate jail (CCA) where you can buy smokes, ramen, watch satellite TV, play card and board games all day long, or go out to the pool, library, or one of numerous basketball courts!
Prison is for felons/anyone with a sentence longer than a year. You don't get a trusty status, you get your ass assigned to a work crew, get chained and shackled, and you work. No freedom to move. You're also forced into other labors if you're able, such as prison food farming. You don't get a choice like you do in jail. You're also generally NOT allowed to smoke.
There are some special outside programs as well. For first-time offenders (such as myself) we had our OWN facility just at the edge of the prison grounds. A regimented inmate discipline program (prison boot camp) and to make it worse for us anyone in prison got shanked to death we were the ones to bury them as a little extra incentive to behave.
Things have likely changed and they don't have the RIDtards burying dead felons any longer in Mississippi Prisons, but still, there's a WIDE difference in Jail and Prison.
Don't believe me? Earn your bars and stripes, then come back to me and tell me it's the same thing.
Most policies put into effect take about two presidential terms to even really come into full effect.
Bush allowing Clinton's crap to proceed is what caused this to happen. He had an opportunity to stop it but let it go to help the banks screw more people out of money.
Don't blame Clinton entirely when Bush had plenty of opportunity to shut it down before it got too bad.
Hate to drop a logic bomb on you but the big thing here is that they're sending a man to PRISON for violating copyright, which is a civil issue, not a criminal one.
A *JAIL* I could understand, a *PRISON* I cannot.
And having been through both jail and prison, I'm in a far better position to point out the differences and nuances.
"Just a note: Knowing how much of the planet is covered in water is *not* scientific literacy."
Balderdash. BULLSHIT! How else would we know the approximate weight of the planet without knowing the weight of water and how much water is on the planet's surface to add to the weight of everything else?
Facts are a part of scientific literacy. Without facts there would be no scientific literacy, just postulation and speculation.

Umm, no. No oval plug.

Straight from the horse's mouth:

Well, I'm not surprised it didn't take but a few moments for the contest to be won.
Man can make it, man can break it. That's it.

That's not too much to power an entire country.
Same thing with Nintendo - they've been around longer than a century.
Why not attribute it to the spider bite? We have snail toxins being used for painkillers. Why not use components of spider toxins to treat nerve problems?
No, that is incorrect. Compaq and HP Merged. Compaq was never owned by anybody but themselves, they were a separate entity.
Compaq is owned by HP, so that can't be them.
See above, where I explain the difference - here
The USA and Australia are NOT third-world countries.

Why post anonymously? Oh, also why are you neglecting to list the Republicans that were responsible as well? Oops.
Way to make a useless and baseless point!
Ha! I have reason to be angry, but you're too much of a moron to understand why.
Go get a clue, you fucking moron.
Jesus you're even dumber.

For a MISDEMEANOR you get FUCKING JAIL, NOT FUCKING PRISON, ASSHOLES.
I guess only those that have actually been through the system would know that, though.
