You know, he's not perfect, by a long shot but, at least he wants to make a fucking difference. Because of that, or because of feelings of their own inadequacy, people are determined to tear him down every chance they get. The guys get some problems, but a least give him a chance.
Well, my boss had a brain and wanted someone who knew what the hell they were actually talking about at the event. He turned white as a sheet when I translated it for him. We started buying AMD after that.
The core is MINIX but, what has been cracked of it shows that Intel has rolled their own version of it. It's hard to be sure what is stock and what is Intel's at this point. I'm sure with all the hype that someone will jack the code off the chip and find out one way or the other. Either that or the source code will find it's way to Wikileaks.
Intel created it's own operating system on a chip that is almost completely outside of user control. It has full functionality to read and take control of any part of your PC, even when it is powered off. All the code is black boxed and unreadable to the user so there is no auditing it to see if it is secure. If a hacker or virus was able to re-write the OS on the chip (something that has confirmed to be possible), they would have complete control of your system with virtually no way to remove it. For people in the tinfoil hat club (a club I visit from time to time), this means that Intel, and anyone that they choose to grant access to, such as FBI, NSA, etc., can clandestinely monitor all activity that you do on your PC without any indication that they are doing so and no security software that you run, commercial or home-brew, will alert you to the monitoring.
Well, its a start, at least. With a little luck, maybe vendors will get the message that we don't want this black box privacy invading systems in our computers. I remember when Intel had us over to show off their latest and greatest and they were just gushing with pride over this system. I asked them then about the potential privacy and security problems and all they could answer with is don't worry, it will be the most secure system ever made. Like I haven't heard that a million times with the same result. After that, I was just treated like the party buzzkill.
You have to build them first before they can become meaningful. We had done little to no energy storage solutions in this country. Instead, we always focused on keeping the power generation balanced according to demand on a constant basis as parent said.
I believe it is to make their grid more independent so they do not have to rely on the transmission lines so much. Without storage, their grid is susceptible to power dips when the wind is lower and spikes when it is higher that lead to wasted energy without the transmission lines. This way, there is a buffer that would handle most normal use cases without relying on the long-distance transmission for either dips or spikes.
I'd live with crappy stock images all day but, down with those damn auto-play videos; especially the ones with NO TEXT TRANSCRIPT! Hear that you damn "news" sites, I want to actually fucking READ the article, not listen to some idiot blather about it, go off-topic, then offer his/her opinion without actually offering much in the way of facts. Next up is the articles broken into multiple pages to try and maximize the ads shown on a page. Worst I've seen so far is 13 pages for 13 paragraphs of text. Ridiculous! Whoever was responsible for that should be fired on the spot.
Both MacOS and Windows have been able to use both OTF and TTF for many years. Yes, that may have been where they both became mainstream, but they're not exclusive to the OSes any more.
So, he paid hackers to hack his former company and the evidence against him from the FBI may have been obtained by further hacking. So this makes it a crime solved by another crime? That's a mess I wouldn't want as a prosecutor.
Yea, I'm not sure why this is news. They did a test and it failed with no injuries because they did the test safely. Other than some acceptable losses and likely the loss of the engine, there was no harm. This is why you test things like this.
It's not less restrictive, it's just been given a blessing by the larger browser community and plugged in to our previously (relatively) open communication system that was called the World Wide Web. The fact that this was rammed in without the consensus of the W3C body says just how broken of a concept it was. (For those of you who don't know, the W3C is a "consensus" body per its charter, which means that either all or the vast majority of members agree with a proposal, not a majority rules body where 50.1% agrees.) But, since there was a profit to be made by supporting this, the groups with a profit motive rammed it through the process over the objections of the other members.
The scary part is there a groups of people who actually believe shit like this, just as much as we believe that water is wet and that most lawyers and politicians should be drowned in a vat of urine.
Except, he did not hack their site. He did not penetrate any servers, exploit any passwords or do anything to their systems. What he did do was make a change to his web browser that altered the price of the ticket and because their systems are designed so badly that it changed the price of the actual ticket so he could set his own price for tickets. All without having to hack their servers. This was allowed to happen because the company disregarded one of the first rules of IT security: Never trust the client to enforce security. In reality, this statement can probably be shortened to "Never trust the client."

Looks like you forgot to give somebody a handjob.

I see someone has a lack of confidence in their "skills."
And I see your Schwartz is as big as mine. Let's see how you "handle it."

So, the short version is: "We're all for clean energy and stopping global warming... as long as it doesn't obstruct our view of the ocean."

Trolls work cheap.

Just like renting a hooker is much cheaper than dating a girl and you know you'll get some instead of "we need to talk about our relationship".

This is what happens when you don't let scientist harvest live humans for research... sheesh; and they thought *I* was mad.
Then you can choose option 3: Pay them money for their service. Or, don't use it.

This article was brought to you by BP, ConocoPhillips, Exxonmobil, and Shell.

I'm also stealing that quote as it is really good. Too bad I can only attribute it to AC.
