Cheaper than paying Andersen Consulting, IBM, or PWC for a security audit.

Paying protection money should be covered under RICO. The feds never tried it, because they would have looked like assholes, but Colonial paid criminals to support criminal actions. I wouldn't mind if the CEO served some prison time under RICO.

The pipeline owner claims the shutdown was due to protect the pipeline from the hack.

That is evidence that the pipeline is at direct risk. You have no evidence that contradicts that. You might suspect they are lying, but perjury is still "evidence", until proven otherwise.

You are guessing that other people's statements are guesses, and not based on public statements by the pipeline company.

Nearly all? The average car is 12 years. Not because cars fail, but because new cars are registered.

There has been a report every 10 years or so since the '60s or '70s that pointed out the most recent power outage was due to insufficient winterization.

So yes, this has happened before. Quite "often" (once a decade).

So the entire ERCOT exists for that one fab, and nothing else can run over it?

Or your simplification is a complete lie.

I can guess which it is.

Texans think the power grid is better than the US power grid. NYC has a multi-day outage every few years. Texas just had its first.

(note, the facts presented aren't certified to be true, but are certified to be a correct representation of the perception of facts by those in Texas).

Original Knights Corner (effectively a stepping of Larrabee) was ~60 cores, each 4-way threaded. Top-shelf Knights Landing parts were 72 cores.

Rumor was that the P54C design was re-imported back into Intel -- they had contracted out a re-implementation, I assume because they needed a fully synthesizable design rather than being tied to a specific die process. My old team had an FPGA socket 7 module that could run an instantiation of this code around 100MHz.

In a perfect collision, two cars going 70 mph hitting head on will be identical to a single car hitting a deformable wall at 70.

The equal and opposite of a stationary wall and a car going 70 mph are identical.

Nope.

All crash tests are "low speed" because the focus is making almost survivable crashes survivable, and making lesser crashes less damaging. There is no real consideration to 100+ mph crashes, except in purpose-built race cars. Hitting a tree or pole at 55+ will often result in a violent separation of the front wheels, whether ICE FWD of otherwise.

Simply put, people just improperly extrapolate a 35 mph crash into a 100 mph crash.

there are multiple ounces. There are multiple gallons.

There are multiple kilos.

Your mental inflexibility isn't proof someone else is wrong. kilobytes is 1024 bytes. It isn't kK, which would be 1000. It's kB, which isn't a metric measurement, so, obviously, doesn't conform to metric standards.

Liberals have made it clear that the game is played that way? You are literally pointing out Trump did it first, and blaming the Democrats.

About 50% of personal computing devices are phones. Don't discount those.

MFM/RLL to IDE/ATA was a big leap (more than double speed). Just not as big as some of the other steps. Going from SATA HDD to M.2 SSD dropped boot times to closer to 5 seconds for a full boot. No other single change has had as much impact on boot speeds, unless I was swapping floppies during boot. floppy to HDD boot was not twice as fast, but it also came with going from DOS 3.3 (second only to 6.22) to Win 3.0, so my HDD loading was slower with the new "OS".

Anti-Capitalists condemn "supply and demand" and suggest ignoring then infinite supply of willing CEOs and lock the doors to the Old Boy's Network and only select from an artificially tiny pool of people. Ford III is completely incompetent and wouldn't have been a manager in a McDonald's if he wasn't born into a CEO family. Same with all the (insert the many families where the children are idiots and the great grandparents were CEOs first).
