I hate to break it to you, but... ignorance is on the rise.

Causation vs correlation: internet-only news sources are a mixed bag but if you want breaking-headline stories that definitely have a political slant/bias (whether it's the blatant "Fascism-masquerading-as-Conservativism" spewed by the likes of Fox News or the far-more-subtle and carefully-concocted "Fascism-masquerading-as-Progressive-Socialism" you'll hear on NPR), be sure to tune-in to Mainstream Media...

You'd have to be an idiot, a lunatic or a shill to get that from what I said...

So, which is it?

his two of experience with one distro running in a VM, no less.

I can't possibly be the only one astute enough to see your blatant attempts to play a straw man for what they are, can I?? I'd bet dollars to donuts you have the same IP address as the person you appear to be arguing with...

That's easy: maintain compatbility with fucktons of legacy code; arguably more of which exists for x86 than every other architecture combined...

That, right there, was where you let slip the mask of rationality and/or credibility.

I think it's safe to say that if a modern RISC processor were manufactured using Intel's latest process tech and given an x86-comparable number of transistors (how many are in Haswell? Or Vishera?) and put to use running a "bare metal" app that was optimized to take advantage of the architecture, it would blow the doors off the equivalent x86 solution.

However, in the real world, x86's flexibility and versatility (including the plethora of developer tools available) win the day.

There's a simple solution: require that the cameras be always on, unless the officers calls in and [temporarily] logs-off to use the restroom.

Oviously, control of the cameras needs to be handled remotely anyhow, since individual officers have repeatedly shown that they can't be trusted not to turn off the cameras to avoid being recorded engaging in less-than-acceptable behavior...

"Sorry, Son. You're only allowed to operate your lemonade stand in the 'hood."

The linked article is in Italiano; unfortunately, my grasp of the language is limited to "ciao" and "vaffanculo."

Forget sea monkeys; how about water bears (tardigrades)?

If you look at the "3" sideways, it looks like a pair of asscheeks hanging ominously over a possible target...

Obviously orbital habitats either need to be spun-up or contain living quarters located within centerfuges.

Cut 'em so slack; $5 of that goes to Verizon. :p
