SecureBoot does not give that, it only attests the code image *started* as the one it was supposed to be, according to the trust anchor..
Secure boot can give that, if the code image checks the signatures of the drivers and the kernel it loads and the kernel can check the signatures of the executables it runs and not load anything else that is not signed. Lets say you set up such a system today, you can be sure after 1 year that the same binaries are loading and have not been replaced with malicious ones. Even if malware was loaded into memory at runtime, cleanup will just involve a reboot + replacing any drivers, executables, kernel etc that fail the signature check(ignoring changes to data i.e).
No, once malware has run you have to assume the worst; that software has been compromised and verifies false signatures. If you had a system that never allowed new signers (all signatures built into the kernel) then you would be right, but it would be inflexible. Also you can't just include executables in your checks; anything that could be interpreted also needs verification.
Somehow, thay can sign town of apps and drivers on a regular basis, but signing teeny tiny code for FSF got screwed... It only validate, in my opinion, this whole secure boot shit was meant to give alternative OS a hard time.
Actually I'm generally not a Microsoft fan but I'd reserve judgement on this. Signing boot-loaders to be authorised by the hardware is likely to be a different procedure and done by different people to signing drivers. They probably have not done this often and when they have it will have been mostly with their own generic key. I can easily put this down to mistakes, and if they sort it out promptly I see no reason to put it down to ill will.

This pre-dates the internet, as is demonstrated by this apocryphal story:
"I was walking in the hills when I came across a man who looked as though he carried the cares of the world on his shoulders. I introduced myself and asked him what was wrong.
The man pointed to a bay in the distance and said: "look at all those ships down there. Do you know who built them?". "No", I replied. " I did", her replied. After a pause he said "but do you think they call me Dai the ship builder?.... no"
He then pointed to the city and and said "look at all those houses down there. Do you know who built them?". "Was it you?" I asked. "Yes", said the man, "but do you think they call me Dai the house builder?.... no"
He then pointed at a fine new church building , saying "See that church.... I designed that myself... but they don't call me Dai the Architect either".
With a sigh he turned to me and said: "....... but you shag one sheep"
Let's say you meet The President or Prime Minister in real life. They say something that impacts you so greatly, it changes your entire life.
I met the Prime Minister once, and it had no effect on my life at all. Then again, the PM in question was John Major, so not really a surprise.
He had that effect. Almost all Prime Ministers I can remember a lot of bad or good things they have done. I'm damned if I can remember any policy, enactment or decision good or bad that John Major's government did.
No, there are 3 types of people in the world: those who can count, and those who can't.
Or, there are 1T types of people in the world. Those who understand balanced ternary and those who don't.
or: There are 110 types of people in the world. Those who understand negabinary and those who don't.
If either side thinks the other may launch the logical approach is to launch first.
Yeah, it takes a special kind of mind to ever think creating a nuclear winter and world wide famine is the logical choice. 2nd stire or no, the first strike will already pretty much ruin the earth. You gonna live somewhere else?
Unfortunately if you think the other side may attack you and you don't have second strike capability to deter them then the choice for your country is between total annihilation or a nuclear winter which would be survivable for a large part of your population.
Are we now separating them into good Palestinians and bad ones?
Kill all the Muslims and let the Christians live? Or just kill them all.
I'll wager the ones firing missiles at Israel are all Muslims. The 0.3% left after their victimisation by the Muslims are keeping well out of it. Of course every effort should be made to minimise casualties of all non-combatants, but you cannot just let someone keep firing rockets at you because they set up in a populated area. That would just reward the Muslims for their disregard of international law and human rights
It's amazing, Israel has the wealth, the brains, and the resources to protect and defend its people with systems like this.
Meanwhile, the Palestinians have nothing, but to blindly lob rockets into a sovereign country.
This clearly illustrates to the world who is the civilized one, and who the savages are.
It is clear that there is one cause of this; Islam. The linked article gets it when it says:
The New York Times has figured out that Hamas has been “[e]mboldened by the rising power of Islamists around the region” and is making use of its “increased clout” with the Muslim Brotherhood government in Egypt. Yes — news flash! — the Arab Spring is a disaster for Israel and for the cause of peace in the region.
Of course I was being modded down on Slashdot for pointing out that the "Arab Spring" would lead to a worse situation than the dictatorships it replaced as it was happening and our foolish governments were supporting it.
The assault on the Gaza concentration camp is MURDER.
So if someone was firing missiles into New York from a housing complex somewhere the solution would be to let them carry on. I suppose the missile launched at Israel are a peaceful protest!
A stop rate of 90% eliminates a first strike advantage.
No it is more likely to eliminate second-strike capability. The reason that the USA and USSR had hundreds of times the number of warheads needed to wipe each-other off the map was so that the second strike, even with a heavily damaged system was virtually guaranteed to totally wipe out the opposition. If you have a situation where a first strike will destroy (10% the weapons of Russia or the USA can still do that), but the second strike (10% of attack from damaged systems) may not then you have a much more dangerous situation. If either side thinks the other may launch the logical approach is to launch first.
Does it really take so much computing power to calculate trajectory of a falling object? I know there's a lot of uncertainty coming from measurements but I don't really think you need anything more than an equivalent of pentium 100 to effectively decide wheter the missile is heading toward a populated area or not.
It depends when in the trajectory it plots the intercept path. If it is during the rocket-propelled phase then calculating the possible trajectories of something that will accelerate for a while then descend is probably a lot. Also the protected areas are likely to be a number of irregularly shaped patches on a three-dimensional terrain, not just one circle.
Then of course you have to calculate your intercept trajectory, again not simple
And yet even more people who have problems with English.
Digital, as opposed to analogue, refers to the data being in discrete chunks.
You may be correct in it being a decimal computer, as opposed to a binary computer, but it is still a digital computer.
However the Dekatron valves could be made in effective binary mode (9 anodes to 1 pin) so it could still be a binary computer.
Oh, so the relentless Israeli occpuation and unprovoked assaults on civilians are not the real reason for the Hemas retaliating? Hey, to Israeli Jews the Palestinians are just cattle. Or pigs. No, really.
Oh yes and the muzzies have such a fair and high opinion of the Jews. Who are the ones calling for the total destruction of the other state? Who are the ones calling for every member of the other faith to be killed? Who are the ones who say that the others are "the worst of creatures, lower than dogs or excrement"?
That depends. If he had an identical twin it would be much smaller than would be needed anyway. There are also more and less usual combinations. Also if he were (for example) the only Native American immigrant within a 5km radius it would probably need a much larger sample than if he was of indigenous ancestry.
I've seen Musk's "big rocket" after we had a date last night. It was tiny and limp. A twizzler puts it to shame. Dude is trying to compensate for something big time with his sports cars and rocket making.
But you have to admit he is much cheaper than Ariane.
go use some other internets! Oh wait, you mean to say it's not the internets that is being censored? It's actually company or privately-owned websites that are accessed using the internet? And these companies and people who own these sites are able to set the bar for what is allowed on their site? There are many wonderfully open sites out there that will gladly let you post whatever you want despite you not being owed anything by them. Why is this a problem? And kerfuffle? Seriously?
Because everyone knows that there are no alternatives to Facebook.... at least where your 1010 friends can discuss "Big Brother" and "Pop Idol" (but not "Big Brothel" and "Pop your blow-up doll")
Some Google autocompletes are almost comical. Enter "peni" and you get "penicillin", "peninsular", and "panistone paramount". Who would have known that a small town cinema would appear to be more important to Google than the male organ!

It was most definitely a decimal computer.
With 828 dekaton counter tubes I reckon it's not a digital computer (2 base) but a decimal computer (10 base).
There are 10 kinds of people who understand binary...
It is still a digital computer (as opposed to an analogue computer), as were other non-binary false starts like the Setun which used balanced ternary.

"more than 90% of the 1,000 11-16 year-olds surveyed said they had been bullied or seen someone bullied"
Very often seen by the bully who's pummelling them no doubt.
by arab aggression you mean when they invaded israel in 1948??
I think he means the continual rocket attacks lanched from civilian areas so they can get propaganda when the launcher is taken out.
That depends. If he had an identical twin it would be much smaller than would be needed anyway. There are also more and less usual combinations. Also if he were (for example) the only Native American immigrant within a 5km radius it would probably need a much larger sample than if he was of indigenous ancestry.
The scent of parsley is more pleasing on the breath than the meal you've just eaten, especially...
... especially if you've just eaten wang!

That's because digital wang comes along free with most searches. It is like the parsley of Internet search results.
Who orders parsley?
For more conjectures on the Parsley/Wang metaphor please ask Parsley Wang.

They're called Muslims. Insult the qur'an and they go on a murderous outrage
