Most motherboards still prioritize floppy drives when it comes to boot order. The early viruses were transmitted by floppies. I also wouldn't trust a floppy controller's firmware any more than I would a CD or USB…
Solitary confinement isn't just a single occupancy cell. Generally it means a cell where the prisoner is isolated from other prisoners. What drives people crazy is not even being able to talk to another human being.
Solitary doesn't just mean single occupancy cells, it means separation from most human contact. They could easily have groups of cells where inmates are confined individually but can still have non-physical contact with…
The reason there is so much interference on WiFi channels is because there is little regulation within the assigned frequencies. People playing around with unlocked SDRs is not even a rounding error when it comes to…
Could be a ploy like how many scammers use poor spelling and grammar so that they don't waste their time chasing up people too smart to fall for the scam. Except it is if you are really concerned about security or have…
>I'm guessing that the intersection of "administrative personnel", "willing to carry pagers" and "understand the internals of AWS services" is a very small set Being a non-engineer doesn't mean they don't know anything…
Amazon isn't a couple of guys in a garage. They have hordes of administrative personnel who could be tasked to update a status page. Companies 1/1000th the size of Amazon can manage it.
What's the power cost per year compared to modern stuff?
They can try if they want but it will cost them lots of money for no benefit.
>It's sandboxed and not able to do anything - malicious of not - outside it's restricted environment. That argument is like the one that Linux is more secure because a malicious program will only have user rights.…
You are forgetting that Google effectively has two groups of "consumers". Ordinary users who use their products, and companies that advertise using Google's products. Even if ordinary users can switch to Bing the…
Large telecom companies ran a fairly effective campaign confusing people about what net neutrality was actually about. I've heard all kinds of silly things like net neutrality wouldn't allow end-user set QOS. Or that it…
I think the point was that current hiring practices filter out many autistic people due to the behavioral testing. Currently autistic people generally have to be good enough at social stuff to pass as "normal" in the…
I don't think that is a fair comparison. The 386 was a true CISC design while the ARM2 was RISC. One of the major points of RISC was to reduce silicon complexity by using a less complex design (and shoving the…
I can imagine all the people complaining about how they have been waiting for three hours for an Amazon drone delivery while a hurricane rages on outside.
So you don't actually have the conviction to refuse to pay the criminals? If you really believed what you are saying you would move to another country and give up your US citizenship. Until you take that kind of stand…
>Except there's no provable way to distinguish between "attack traffic" and normal traffic. Depends on the DDOS method used. Stuff like the NTP abuse of a few years ago could be sinkholed without effecting any real…
And your alternative option is? Do you still pay your taxes? Because with the way you talk I would call you a huge hypocrite if you did.
Congratulations you have re-invented slums!
I think that was sarcasm.
There was a story I heard about a defense contractor who found an obscure bug in code for a submarine system and as he didn't have the time to fix the issue he put his phone number in the error report. He got called…
I don't think "data science" is a distinct science, but it is a distinct field of work. The business guys need short buzz words. They can't comprehend "online distributed virtual machine on-demand hosting", but they can…
I find the idea of immortality horrifying. People would become ridiculously risk adverse because they could live forever as long as they didn't have an accident. Imagine the sort of repressive policies those voters…
But doing it openly spooks the consumers!
You still have to buy Bitcoin. And given its volatility it is something you probably want to do on-demand, so now you have payment processors in the chain again.
