Sometimes there are tpm type chips that work as follows: Manufacturer creates the chip and it's OS and access code and turns it over to the vendor. Vendor creates his access code and destroys the Manufacturer's access code. The manufacturer cannot access the vendor code. The vendor prepares the software that is required, for the end-user and seals it with his password, he can, if he deems it necessary destroy his code The end-user can have controlled access to the tpm type device's contents. The chip can be programmed so that 3 bad access attempts destroys all future access.
Now, use the chip contents to checksum the bios, and some critical security software. If the result is OK, life goes on.
Hillary is right of center, just like her husband and Obama. What made the Clintons and Obama successful was co-opting the Republican agenda with welfare reform (Bill), health care and taxes (Obama), and foreign policy (Hillary).
I think what you meant to say is: "As a moderately retarded person, I voted for Hillary"
Uh, no. I'm an asshole. Otherwise, I wouldn't be working in IT. I voted for Hillary because the alternative was a KGB toadie.
You got your KGB toadie. Actually, you got a man who ran "His company his way". Now he intends to run the USA "His way". And as a owner without shareholders, he was beholding to noman. And as President, well......
Hope he will be impeached before his mandate is over.
I think the more salient point is whether or not terror attacks represent any significant risk at all. Now I'll admit when someone Jihadi drives a truck into a crowd of people, that certainly creates some casualties, and by consequence creates a significant amount of fear. But what are the real odds of any resident of a Western country dying in a terrorist attack. In reality, the odds are infinitesimal. Now dying from a heart attack or stroke, or hell, even choking or highway fatalities, those represent massive killers, with huge numbers of casualties with huge costs for society. And yet, here we are, with our stupid Savannah ape brains, unable to discern a meaningful and present threat to our person from a threat that's unlikely to harm you or anyone you know even to the second or third degree ever.
The fact that surveillance is taking place is itself a deterrent. So, NSA or FBI or agencies know, frequently from emams, which teenagers are susceptible and let the agencies know. No, ISIS is attacking it's own religion, but is effective for kids who grow up religious, wanting sex, wanting passion. You can't have it until after marriage, ergo, it's off to ISIS we go.
What I'm looking for right now is motherboards! Where is ASUS in all their lineup? They have a B350? Where is their X370's? It's going to be Gigabyte and ASUS so I need all various iterations of the motherboards to be in reviews hands now so that I can decide and have it a couple weeks before the processors come out. Then the processor can arrive by overnight mail and voila. I might have even bought they old processor in the new AM4 package to bootstrap with.
I don't have your discretionary spending, therefore, my purchase will be with constraints of budget and expandability. I may choose a high end motherboard, and a low end cpu and in a years time, go for the top end cpu. Or I may wait while Intel prices fall and choose one of their give-aways. Competition leads to squeezing profits, while encouraging major research into better architectures.
I am not a hardware geek, but I recently read a detailed ARM configuration, that is x86_64 compatible, with shared memory and on the one mother board, the I/O processor. The I/O processor can be upgraded, without having to buy a new system. Without hard disks, keyboard, power supply and monitor you are looking at around $300.00 price range.
You mean, make their newest product available to people so they can sabotage their launch by "benchmarking" it with synthetic software which doesn't really support it and is specifically tuned to run well on Intel hardware and compiled with a compiler which specificallysabotages AMD CPU's? Why would they want to do that?
Intel does not have exclusivity on intelligence, though for a few years they have had exclusivity on marketing. So, AMD is leap-frogging over Intel. In the future, ARM systems will leapfrog over the two. Technology moves on. Time to buy AMD shares.
I do not doubt that Linux Mint is a good distribution. I used to be a staunch Fedora enthusiast, but in my mind, Fedora is dying and will disappear within two to three years.
It will disappear because it is not a Desktop system for all users. It is a workspace distribution for code hackers. To survive, Fedora must recognize and accept REMIXES and SPINS. (Remixes cannot be produced within the USA because of patents). However, offshore, Remixes allow video and music codecs, and some software that RedHat will or cannot include. Fedora has one hand and one foot tied behind it's back.
On the otherhand, Look at Korora or Chapeau Linux or even a Fedora based Linux from outside of the USA. Those versions shame Ubuntu.
No one in the world has more influence in the Balkans and Ukraine than Bill Clinton. Not only did he win a war there, he has deep understanding of the region (even knowing who some of the crime lords are), and has personal relationships with many people there. Apart from Lewinsky, he was an excellent president and he managed to settle a complex region that could have ended up like Iraq is now, if someone less competent had been in charge.
However, Putin has a goal to increase his influence in the exact same region. The biggest impediment to reaching that goal would be Bill/Hillary in power again.
So Putin is going to get his wish, a win for his activities in the Balkins and Ukraine, and an arrogant President in the USA. Wow, the USA is live Peter Sellers movie, with Trump playing as Peter Sellers. Just the laughing stock of the USA for the next 4 years.
Shock waves reverberate around the planet as Samsung claims it has better products than its competitors. This revolutionary marketing technique is sure to catch on with other companies and before long no one will admit they make second rate products publicly.
Soon, they will need to manufacture their products in the USA, because of job creation and NIH. (Not invented here)
That's not really what the "question" in the article was implying though. I completely agree that desktops are going to be a thing for ages to come yet (and I have 2), but the question was lazily trying to point out that performance increases on the desktop are seemingly coming to a halt for newer chips. This isn't really a surprise for me, as I've got a 5 year old i5 2500K in my home machine that is keeping pace with even the newer games just fine as long as I spend a couple hundred bucks every 2-3 years on a new video card. Same at the office. We went to assess our 3 year upgrade cycle for workstations and realized we'd only get a 20-25% boost in peak processing power by spending our full per-person budget on new machines and instead decided to keep what we have, switch all boot OS drives to SSD, max out the RAM and get 32" monitors and we STILL have money left over.
I'm not sure if AMD's got anything in the pipeline that can shake things up, but if they do, this is their chance (again).
If 55 inch color TVs with 4k support can be had for under $1000, why can't we have a desktop with 32gigs ram, and some SSD slots for $500.00
Trump had nothing to do with the Ford decision. That decision was taken at least two to four years ago. Trump is BS'ing the population. Want a straight answer, Ford probably started on the electric car plant design overhaul in 2008. They need the Mexican plant to operate gasoline powered cars while they shut down the USA plant and retool. And then, the Mexican plant will retool, so that the Ford cars can be sold competitively in the world market. This export of Ford cars from the USA is not going to go far, as costs of living in the USA are too high.
You may not like it, but you need to have more socialized benefits, so that costs of living are lowered. Companies need to recognize that senior managers in major organizations cant expect million dollar a year bonus expectations. The company has to find ways to rein in costs if American goods are to be exported.
You won't need it. This is a classic nuisance suit. I watched a lawsuit much like this in court once. A driver of a bobcat wasnt wearing his seatbelt when he lifted a load too high digging out a house foundation, and it fell into the foundation and he was crushed. He got absolutely nowhere. If using the phone in such a way while driving was not illegal, they might have a case, but the driver broke the law and is solely liable. This sort of case is a 95% loser. Barring incopetence of the defense it has no chance. There is thhat 5% though. Also it will cost apple a good bit of money to win the court case which they will not get back. This case was likely taken on 33% contingency. The sleazeballs pushing it are looking for a portion of what it would cost apple to defwnd the case in a settlement. They might even get it if this was a one time affair. The problem is it isn't. Apple would have to keep on payong for every accident. There are two likely outcomes:
A. Apple offera tiny tiny settlement which is eaten almost entirely by the lawyers, screwing over the family, or
B. Apple pulls the trigger and demands a court case. It will cost them a couple hundred grand at least to puto bed, the plaintid's lawyers eat it partially because they will be desperately trying to avoid a situation where they will not only lose but also have pay apple's court costs.
So its give the family a pittance and reward the troll attourneys, or punish the attounrneys. I would really rather take B myself but it almost certainly won't happen. In the case of the bobcat thing it went to court because the plaintiff was so offended by the fact that the lawyers that talked him into it so badly screwed him that he screwed them back by excercizing his right to go to trial, forcing them to prosecite the ridiculous dog of a case and get hammered for it by the court.
The problem with the man's patent is that I may be driving the car, and my daughter, in the backseat may be doing the texting and video conferencing. Should she be stopped as a passenger, from so doing? And what if I was in the train from the Suburbs to Downtown, should my cellphone be stopped as well?
Solar energy spills cause CANCER and even third degree burns.
Natural gas just safely floats away into the atmosphere and is biologically disposed of by Nature.
Save the natural gas for the President Elect, Trump. He is going to make America great by bringing back coal. And of course, he is going to tax the low low cost electricity you get from your solar panel. Trump is going to claim that the sunshine belongs to him, and if you want any, you have to pay Trump or the Koch brothers.
I do the same with my Fedora 24 and Fedora25 versions. I close the lid, When I want to use it, I open the id, press the power button and the laptop wakes up from where it left off.
I agree. I see it more and more and it pisses me off because both vlc and smplayer can play youtube videos simply by drag-n-drop from my browser. I can't do the same with facebook videos so I really notice when someone links to a facebook video instead of a youtube video, it much more of a hassle to view. I usually just skip it.
One reason I skip youtube videos is the enforced commercials. I don't mind a click to skip commercial, as most of the time I don't want to buy a new car and have no interest in the advert. When the commercial takes more than 5 seconds, it will finish after I have left to view something else.
Considering the problems we have along sections of the 401? Unless the material is both strong and flexible, it'll never catch on.
Considering how many companies are working on embedding solar panels, I'm sure enough work has been done to take this sort of thing into account. And even if there are specific problems in those sections of road that you mentioned, it doesn't mean that all roads will be as problematic and therefore mean that this technology is a flop.
If it doesn't work in the real world, then tests like this one will find the problems.
We in Québec salt our highways, and that salt leaves a salt-dust deposit on the surface. Ergo, the panels must have great efficiency. Second, our municipalities do not know the word "maintenance". They only know the word "Replace". Thus, when the battery ages and fails, instead of replacing the battery, they will want to replace the entire strip of roadway.
I guess you are a non-believer in climate change. I surmise that from your posting. I bet you live in central USA 2/3 the distance from Texas to Canada. I live in Montreal. 50 years ago, when I got married, we had a foot of snow by the second week of November, and 10F by Christmas. Gradually, and moreso since year 2000, the one foot storms of snow and 10F weather has not arrived. Christmas is in two days, and we expect rain and 35F. Where I used to measure the kw hours of electric consumption, it is now lower by 50%. True, some of that 50% is due to better insulation, windows and doors. And summers are starting one month earlier too. We used to have average summer temperatures in the low 80F, we now are facing a 15 increase in the July-August mid-month.
Climate change is going to kill your American crops. Expect your agricultural products to double or triple in price. And of course, the forecasted low yields are not due to climate, but to hurricanes, tornadoes or torrential rains flooding out the crops.
Continue with your beliefs, the weather is due to mans activities on earth. We've deforested, we have converted tree areas to lawns,
I've been using word processors since the 80s and I like the ribbon. Much easier to find stuff than the old menu system with sub menus and trying to remember what some rarely used feature is called rather than just looking for a picture of the result.
The other great thing about the ribbon is that for a lot of stuff if guy just hover over it then it gets temporarily applied so you can preview the charge.
The ribbon method is the way to go, just as the GUI interface left the command line interface behind.
Exactly. And they keep saying "election hack" in all of the headlines, so it keeps sounding as if Russia and Putin himself were meddling with the voting mechanisms: i.e. hacking voting machines or election authority networks. And I strongly suspect that's exactly how they want it to sound.
Even if the claims are exactly true, that Russia hacked the DNC to expose their secrets, all they wound up doing was publishing what was true for the world to see--that the DNC was manipulating everything they could to coronate HRC as heir apparent. The wikileaks publications only brought us a little bit closer to the full disclosure every voter should have before making their decisions.
But I suppose in the minds of some, that invalidates the election results.
So, the hack is the first step, and that is OK because it was the DNC. And when it becomes a hack of the Congress Servers, and the IRS, and the electricity grid, it will be OK too.
California regulators were poised on Wednesday to adopt the nation's first mandatory energy efficiency rules for computers and monitors -- devices that account for 3 percent of home electric bills and 7 percent of commercial power costs in the state.
Does these figures include or exclude the extra cooling needs due to the computers and monitors? If your computer burns 200W, if you live in the South, you likely spend an additional 300+W on cooling to offset that heat production.
When you are domiciled in a place with low cost electricity, and winter is a snow season, any wasted energy from a monitor or TV is not wasted heat, but heat that displaces the electric element in the forced air furnace or the hot water tanks holding circulating water to radiators to heat a home or business.
When energy consumption matters is in summer, when the equipment heat has to be pumped out of the building. But in summer, we can open windows, and that heat just blows out the window. It is a similar argument about LED lighting versus filament bulb lighting. Since in winter we do not get the heat from LEDs we need to obtain it from resistance wire heating. In summer, with extended daylight hours, the electric filament light bulbs are not used for any prolonged time, ergo, using LEDs, in summer produces almost zero savings. Filament bulbs are 1/4th the price of LED bulbs.
comment!: Typical for incapable companies to threaten with lawsuits because they can't be bothered to actually do thir job!
I would say that a "They are bothered and concerned and want to fix it but, the author of that module no longer works for them and they can't find the staff with the in-depth knowledge of that particular module. If the analyst person can't understand the module, he will not understand the security flaw. And the search to find the competent individual is at least a three month job. That's my take on this subject.

The chip can be programmed so that 3 bad access attempts destroys all future access.
Now, use the chip contents to checksum the bios, and some critical security software. If the result is OK, life goes on.
It could just be a TPM chip that has been programmed to allow the functions mentioned. Many mother boards have a reserved socket for a tpm chip.

Of course, Apple pays every TV show to show a laptop or tablet with an Apple logo. Without exception. Do they use those tablets? I think not.
They are props.
We need a Light or led logo on the backs of new tablets. I would go for LED, to insure that in the USA, there are no patent infringements.
Putin dislikes Clinton for one reason (imo):
No one in the world has more influence in the Balkans and Ukraine than Bill Clinton.

If the article ends with a question mark, the answer is "No". Because if they had evidence to say it, they would have just put a period.
AMD's new ZEN cpu chips are superior to anything Intel is offering. Intel, its time to chase AMD, and while you are at it, chase AMDs pricing too.
