You do realize that it's not "We the People" who promote them into the highest ranks of business, right? It's the board directors, who are just as cutthroat, and probably used to be in those positions. If' the culture exists, they're going to bring in the person who fits it best, not the guy who, in their minds, is a wildcard.
All content is stored on nodes, randomly. You might have one image from a child porn site, and one piece of 7-step bomb making, but you have no idea what you have. It's on your HDD, hashed up and hidden from you.
It also means that if it takes an infected computer 2% longer to find another host, there's a greater likelihood that it will be killed before it finds that host to jump to. It makes it easier to get rid of the virus from the whole network.
More infected machines = more machines doing said attacking
If you have 1 machine infected, you have 50 connections. If you have 10, you have 10 fold the number of connections, which makes it easier for them to find the 25% of machines (that's a steady number) that are unprotected. Reducing the number of machines able to be infected reduces spread rate, which increases security since those who do get infected can get rid of it before it finds another host more often.
In biology, that would be the equivalent of changing the time between the symptoms' appearance and the patient's becoming contagious, assuming symptoms come before someone is contagious. If you have a longer timeframe, the virus is more likely too be killed before it infects someone else. The same applies here, in exactly the same way.
It's really funny, because this kinda happens, in that things keep getting integrated into the CPU. It's really just that we keep adding more new stuff outside the CPU that keeps literally everything (except power regulation) from being one chip.
pointless, divisive behaviour which the US is thankfully avoiding with this new decision
Wait until you see the divisive behavior that ensues when the countries used to taking total control don't get what they want. You think that the Arab world, when they get a say in ICANN, is going to stand for porn being on the internet? How about Jewish material? What do you think China will do about the Dali Lama's twitter and website, and Taiwan having access to the internet? These are only 4 examples off the top of my head.
You think they avoided divisive behavior; they avoided a tiny amount in the small term, and by the flap of the butterfly's wings, they're going to make an utter shitstorm of clusterfucks for politicans to deal with.
We might see aggressive states like Iran and North Korea flaunting international law and getting away with it then using the UN itself to propagandize themselves as important to the world.
Especially when, as it started out, there was no totalitarian country on it, just one, highly advanced quasi-democratic country in total control. Now, there could be a mix of both, which will be highly disruptive when the democratic countries start fighting with the totalitarian countries on yet another front.
Mobos? Standard Driver, with a custom driver for chipset features. Also, alot of addon cards won't get support for certain mobos, or peripherals to them (Ever tried getting support for a RAID card when your HDD isn't on the list?).
The only thing the GFX card communicates with is the northbridge, which hands off to the CPU, and (possibly) other graphics cards. No other compenents matter for support purposes.
Why support literally every graphics card that exists to fulfill your requirement of support for every component ever made?
They also can't support every graphics card made in their driver. Do you want to charge them with tying, or do you want to drive them out of business for offering a product they can't possibly support fully?
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah, because the kind of headhunting agency that is likely to do this is going to bend to your every whim.
....or the people writing the laws who are acquainted with the people running the prisons.

That still doesn't make it right to do.
No, it just means they'll have to put it on the bottom of the screen for 2.5 seconds in type so small you can't read it.
Might the 'or' refer to "commerically (marketed or distributed) to the public" rather than "(commercially marketed) or (distributed to the public)"?
Related side not: why do they have to write laws in this way, where nobody can really tell what they're saying??

Good thing about them in particular: if they fuck up too badly, they have nobody left to work for them or fuck over.
Reason in how they can make the most money.
Seriously, do you think any corporation is going to be any better than the scumbags that fill it?
The question now is, do you really want to give the government that power?
Then where do you draw the line between work and personal matters?
For real, that made my night. Probably is going to lead to a nightmare too.
Maybe because it's a reference to the population of /., that would only be relevant in this crowd?

...or malware that comes bundled with manually installed apps.
Please answer this! I just had to try and uninstall a copy today, and it's a royal pain.
Keyboards? Standard Driver.
Cases? No Driver.
HDD's? Standard Driver for each interface.
Mobos? Standard Driver, with a custom driver for chipset features. Also, alot of addon cards won't get support for certain mobos, or peripherals to them (Ever tried getting support for a RAID card when your HDD isn't on the list?).

I dunno. Maybe technically a monopoly because they own x86, and license it to AMD? Can someone clear that up?
They also can't support every graphics card made in their driver. Do you want to charge them with tying, or do you want to drive them out of business for offering a product they can't possibly support fully?
Havok is software....that runs on hardware, exactly like what PhysX is. You could port it to an NVidia GPU using CUDA, if you so pleased.
