Re: Aha!

Still, the author deserves to be thanked for the music associations this has brought.

s/where/were/ , FTFY. And yes, you are right.

Re: Linus Torvalds is not a Security Expert

"If you have a compromised Kernel" ... then you have lost the game already and nothing is going to change that. For one thing, you cannot rely on kernel being able to detect the compromise (it is compromised, hence untrusted already).

The only thing you can do is to make the post-mortem easier, and killing the kernel will likely have the opposite effect.

Re: Tesla semi?

I suspect for charging only, a turbine would be more efficient. Also very, very cool.

Re: Overtime falsification in the timesheet. How quaint. And how familiar.

blue collar and lawyers, of course.

Re: So...

My keyONE lasts 2 days easily, or 3 if I do not use it much. It comes with 3.5Ah battery. So yes, it might be the niche for Blackberry to fill.

Re: Meh.

I thought there was some drive for standardization for this (device enumeration, firmware interface etc) in ARM. Also it would look differently for SoC and for server oriented architecture. Curious if anything became of it.

Re: A power draw of up to 120 watts

@Nate have you seen recent Intel errata?

Plain ZFS does not support clustering, and that is exactly what CEPH brings to the table (on top of checksumming etc capabilities of ZFS). At least, that's my understanding of a system I cannot really afford to try myself ...

Re: Problem for OLED

My guess would be it is high resolution problem. I have AMOLED screen on an MP3 player (remember those?) which is now more than 6 years old, it looked great in most conditions (direct sunlight aside).

That's a good point. A naiive assumption would be that road signs are an absolute, however for any reasonable driver actual road situation (e.g. approaching a sharp turn, weather conditions, cars nearby) obviously take precedence. The question is, how much "reasoning" can an AI driver actually perform.

Re: bringing speeds of 100Mbps

Well, something like this might get rid of latency. Can't be sure about caps or speed, since this is early planning stages. It is obviously large technological challenge, also very expensive (although I can think of one way this could paid off). The link above is from an this article at Ars Technica.

Re: Dongle

"if they're going to boast about turning the volume up to 11" ... that's a big if, as things stand.

Re: it posted a US$72.9 third-quarter net loss

makes me wonder if "1e6" was lost in translation

This is why the most valuable lesson a programmer can receive is not on programming techniques, or libraries, or methodologies. It is what the users actually want and will do with your piece of software. Writing a nice piece of code has no value, if users are not using it. Code has no inherent value in itself. It is what users do with your program which brings the value, and what we (programmers) are paid for.

Re: APL - without a shadow of doubt.

Out of curiosity - do you have "proper" APL keyboard for your desk calculator app? What application do you actually use in this character? Asking because my favourite "calculator app" is Debug4x , with its HP 50g emulator (programmable in RPL, but I only use RPN part)

Re: If they are an "internet bank" shouldn't they be regulated like a bank?

They are regulated like a bank.

Re: Sounds like my S8 and facial recognition

Out of curiosity, does any other phone (besides S8) offer iris recognition?

any links to the news source?
