There is no such crime as "sex by surprise."
Well, duh. I read that as "some non-specific sex crime the women made up after the fact".
And how exactly do you determine "false"? Do you also count situations when victim got threatened into dropping charges or rapist got out on technicality?
Those "technicalities" are the cornerstone of modern society, you know. Let them go, and we're back to...

What makes you think she is a witch?
VILLAGER #3:
Well, she turned me into a newt.

I got better.

Who's this "kdawson" you speak of?
You seem to think that the US == the entire world.
You seem to think geography matters when the big dogs want to put you behind bars. Just ask Julian.
The biggest difference between Linux Kernel development and Windows OS development is
...that you're comparing apples to fucking planets. I bet Firefox has more bugs than the NT kernel, too.
Google suddenly decides to use Windows in their farm.
Or, you know, Mono. With all the brain damage of
And no reference of Go?
Go was meant to be an alternative to C, not Java. In particular, it's not object-oriented, even if it has some similar features.

When all you've got is holy water, every problem looks like a demon.
So what prayers do I need to exorcise C++ threading bugs?
It's the OS responsibility to ensure that normal applications can't simply do whatever they like directly to the hardware, including the CPU.
Unless of course the CPU is in a mode the OS doesn't know about.
Does anyone know - could these debug features be used to do something like break Operating System security models, leading to privilege escalation issues, or for other nefarious purposes?
Exactly my thoughts as well. Perhaps if these features were documented, and compilers and kernels were written with these features in mind, they would be insanely helpful. This way, however, it's just a back door wide open.
How bout some rtfa'ing up in this piece?
You must be new here.
Google is in no way too big to fail, technology companies always seem to have a more than ample supply of other companies willing to take the market share.
Google is big enough to kill other companies just by taking them out of their search results. What exactly do you mean by "in no way too big to fail"?
