My kingdom for mod points.

Windows does not allow one app to grab the focus and hold it without malicious trickery. The only thing that could is kernel level processes like UAC prompts. This has been the case for a long time.

Of course an app can have modal windows within itself for UI reasons - this is perfectly normap

In this case because chrome (and other apps) cannot legally lock the system UI, they do it by thrashing disk IO (which certainly has a large effect on memory and CPU utilization too), effectively freezing the system. IE a malicious workaround.

My point about chromium is that if the GP was lamenting chrome not being open source and vetted, he is wrong - most of it can be. The major differences between chromium and chrome are the pdf viewer, and some proprietary media codecs that are closed and built into chrome. While I do not agree with some of what google does, Chrome is not malware and is probably the best browser out there.

Chromium is open... what are you blathering about?

Wasted? Understanding how brains handle mathematical functions useless?

You must not be able to count the ways the research can be beneficial.

I hat twatter and do not use it, but from all I have read bitfinex and tether are suspect at least and deserving of criticism. Do not know about Lee and coinbase, but I just sold a bunch of etherum and coinbase had my cash in the bank within a day, so no anecdotal issues from my end.

If the authorities have keys to everyone's houses then you have:

1. Made the location of those keys a target for criminals with a huge payoff.
2. Made it easy for certain of the authorities themselves to abuse those keys for illegitimate purposes.

The sickening thins is that this is a bi-partisan issue, that BOTH sides have horrible track records for. It seems that privacy and security of their constituents takes a back seat to anything else. Wonder why that is.

A self driving car also has a pile of sensors and cameras. Good luck to that moron if that was the motive.

This is much of why. Dynamics are gone for many recordings and 'remasters'/reissues. I think one of the reasons I like Tool is that they pay close attention to dynamics. They are rhythmically great, and lyrically great, but Adam Jones is not a very new idea driven guitarist.

When dynamics are gone, and all is compressed (dynamically) together, it gets very tiring to my ears, very quickly.

You want better metal.. listen to bands like Elder, Mastodon, Sylosis, and for a real breath of little known fresh air, DVNE from Scotland.

In many topologies, a network with more nodes allows for more fail over paths and more flexibility, albeit at the expense of more complex routing. Routing however is not an issue - just look to the IT world for examples.

So, it is not surprising - especially of the cost of mid-size planes decreases - that airlines would go this way.

It is just the new systemd(estroy) update gobbling all resources.

Disappearing can just mean reduced in reach or scope. Perhaps it is not as widely known or shared - even if it is 'archived' somewhere.

The main expense may come from having to purchase hardware to accommodate for the performance loss inherent in the patch. If you are running a VM farm of some sort, and have provisioned for a certain amount of load or cycle availability for the VMs, a drop in performance could mean not meeting SLA for those VMS and a need for additional hardware to cover the load. This would be a budgetary burden to many.

How about good movies - that aren't reboot #13 of some long worn out franchise that you are squeezing for every last penny, licensing fee and take-down notice you can wring out of it?
