I've worked at a lot of tech companies and done lots of interviewing on behalf of management and have never seen one hiring decision where the most qualified engineer didn't get the job, be they male or female. Tech is the most meritocratic industry in the American economy.

Uh, isn't that what Google's proof-of-concept does - demonstrate the flaw being successfully exploited? Does Microsoft need to see N. Korea exploiting it before they believe it's real?

For example, the AMD E1 Micro-6200T in the Fitlet-B:

This sets a high bar for other husbands trying to convince their wives that the house needs that shinny new 3D printer :)

Windows 8 was an unmitigated disaster and drove many customers to competing platforms like tablets and OS X. Whoever at Microsoft that decided to force Metro down peoples' throats must be sitting in a straightjacket somewhere mumbling to his padded walls.

"Thank you for contacting the FCC regarding your complaint. An industry-appointed representative will work quickly resolve your problem in a manner congruent with the monied corporate interests that run of our organization"

Oh wait, they can't watch it because their internet is down. Now who's stupid?

Whereas the Microsoft Ribbon is an abomination.

I for one am tired of N. Korea's arrogance in having been successful in shutting down Sony's release of the movie. I say it's time to strike back - how about we start a meme where we photoshop and videoshop/YouTube images of Kim Jong Un into compromising depictions? I'm being completely serious. Let's see if N. Korea can shut down the entire internet before we make a laughing stock of them.

But the majority of users aren't running OS's that have filesystems with copy-on-write support, including Windows 7 and below with NTFS.

SMR drives are fine for I/O scenarios that don't overwrite data very often but they suffer from significant performance penalties for overwrites due to the read-modify-write/write-relocate operations required to modify a set of sectors within a shingled-encoded track. There are tricks to lessen the impact such as virtual sector remapping and background remapping but those can't avoid performance penalties in many scenarios.

Perhaps them walking wouldn't have caused so much damage if they had reduced *their* carbon footprint by not stuffing their face with more than their fair share of food on the planet.
