AMD showed them a better way, intel followed and ~ 4G has been the peak since.
If CPU speeds had kept on doubling along the lines of Moore's Law like they used to, it would have been much preferred and a glorious thing. Alas, the party came to an end, and both Intel and AMD were forced to go down the multicore path.
You can't get around the fact that enforcing decisions based on race and sex in an institutional manner is institutionalized racism. What you perceive as correcting a wrong is only enacting more wrong.
Just to be sure: were you or someone in your home perhaps watching foreign films on the web before this happened?
No, and I'm the only person who runs any kind of Linux in the house. It was clearly too people speaking conversationally, coming through loud and clear on my PC speakers, with background home noises. I wish I had recorded some of the conversation before shutting it down, but I freaked out.
There is no way that this malware is going to be in usr or opt without having a root priv install so and it cannot access or modify etc unless you installed it as root.
People routinely install stuff with sudo, so if it's a trojan it was probably installed as root. Furthermore, privilege escalation bugs are quite common. I just did a search for: linux privilege escalation bug, and the top hit was a news item less than a day old:
Tens of millions of Linux PCs and servers and 66% of all Android devices are impacted by a vulnerability in the Linux kernel that allows privilege escalation from local to root via a use-after-free attack, according to the research team at Perception Point.
Although no exploits for the bug have been seen in the wild yet, the vulnerability is far-reaching. According to Yevgeny Pats, co-founder and CEO of Perception Point, the bug affects all Linux kernels from release 3.8 and later, both 32-bit and 64-bit, operating on desktop, server, mobile, and embedded devices.
The vulnerability, CVE-2016-0728, is a reference leak in the keyrings facility, where security data like encryption keys and authentication keys are stored.
Personal experience is that the applications shipped by the distro to do these tasks crash a lot, hang the desktop, fight with pulseaudio or require extensive configuration (hello ~/.alsasoundrc and 2005!)
About a month ago my Debian desktop was compromised, and I figured this out because the desktop was hung. In an attempt to recover the hang, I tried to restart Gnome Shell... and I started getting audio in a foreign language of people speaking. I freaked out, shutdown my computer, and reinstalled.
I'm generally careful about not installing fishy stuff, and I saved a copy of the hard drive after I shut it down, so if somebody wants to help see what it was I'd be willing to work with them.
The suite of arguments characterized as 'SJW' is quite wide, and a lot of them do have serious merit - for example, the 'damsel in distress' is overused in computer games.
And Hollywood too. Do you know why? Because the audiences like and respond to tropes, and there's only so many new ideas under the sun.
The problem with the SJW crowd is that they use overwhelmingly poor arguments, ridiculous arguments, and do so in a most obnoxious manner.
Like the person who most famously complained about damsels in distress is in video games is... a damsel in distress in real life. That's her schtick.

Like Dawkins? Too bad he backpedaled after the inevitable media backlash:
But Richard Dawkins, the evolutionary biologist and noted writer, scholar and contrarian, found something in Ahmed's story to take issue with -- the use of the word "invention" to describe Mohamed's work. Dawkins went so far as to suggest that describing his clock as such was "fraud" and a "hoax."

It doesn't say that at all. For a start it's not even comparing the same things. $300M for diversity is a one-off cost, $300M from R&D is a repeating cost year on year.
How do you know the diversity initiative isn't year to year? I haven't seen it stated either way. Don't you find it just a little bit suspect that $300 million was cut from one area while $300 million was announced for another initiative?
How do you quantify that? If I were to go by high profile cases that made the news, I'd say that's a rather dubious statement. The parent poster was trying to make the case that the logic was just impossible. I provided evidence to the contrary.
Danmell Ndonye, 18, who had accused five men of gang rape, admitted the truth only when prosecutors confronted her after learning of a cellphone video that captured the whole sordid episode and showed she had willingly participated, officials said.
She created her outlandish tale when her boyfriend, a Hofstra student whoâ(TM)s been dating her since the semester began a few weeks ago, demanded to know where she had disappeared after a wild frat party early Sunday.
On advice from his lawyer, Banks had pleaded no contest to raping his childhood friend on campus 10 years ago, reports the Associated Press. He served five years in prison for a rape he didn't commit, and then spent the next five years on parole.
To his surprise, Banks received a Facebook friend request from Gibson after he got out of prison. During their first meet-up, Gibson confessed that she faked the rape accusation and expressed a desire to help him. It was music to Banks' ears -- except for the fact that she didn't want to face prosecutors with the truth for fear she would have to return settlement money her mother had won from the school.
Yes, the backup camera is amazingly useful in a lot of scenarios. Probably the best new car tech since they added blinker lights to the mirrors.
What I'd find even more useful would be cameras on the front sides so that I could see around corners blocked by bushes or whatever. I have having to blindly stick my front out to do that.
There are, however, good reasons for bureaucracy in government. If government officials can just do whatever they think makes sense, without any accountability to the people, you end up with North Korea. Efficient, but at a cost.
Using North Korea as an anti-bureaucratic example is bizarre. It's the ultimate bureaucracy. It's just that they are accountable to government higher-ups and ultimately a dictator that can have you killed on a whim.

Did they give him back his "verified" status yet? What was it even taken away for? It's obvious which way the wind is blowing.

I think the better answer is to block them at the operating system level -- stop using Microsoft Windows.

It's not a myth, approximately 2% of inmates in the US are victims.
If that number is accurate, then yes, it is largely a myth. The way prison rape is bandied about you'd think it was closer to 50%.
Old enough to know better. I was 14 once too. The whole thing stinks like a PR stunt.
And yet I doubt you could cite a single incidence of the US applying US law in other countries using the US court system as you have claimed.
You aren't familiar with the US's war on Internet poker?

I agree, inviting somebody to the Whitehouse for pinning the guts of a manufactured clock into a case is pretty stupid and knee-jerk.
