Of course, when you do take the Ideal Gas Law into account, you'll discover that unless the Patriots clubhouse is routinely heated to 125F, it's not enough to explain the deflation. So Bill Nye is still correct, and the Patriots are still cheating cheaters.

Zuckerberg owns Instagram (well, Facebook owns Instagram), so Zuckerberg isn't exactly on the sidelines for this thing.

It's rm -rf /*, get it right.

Also that's only when you launch Steam for Linux if your Steam data directory is a symlink or if you use steam.sh --reset without having Steam installed.

Settings, Broadcasting, change "Privacy Setting" to "Broadcasting disabled."

Although I'm pretty sure you have to explicitly choose to start broadcasting, although once you start, I could easily see Steam continuing to broadcast even after you left the game.

This is arguably a dupe of Tumblr Co-Founder: Apple's Software Is In a Nosedive, but what the hey, it's still true.

Interesting analogy, because the "accuracy" in Interstellar actually was somewhat distracting to me because it made the areas that weren't accurate stand out more.

OK, so there are magic space aliens driving the plot at some point. That I didn't have a problem with. Magic space aliens doing magic, whatever, it drives the movie, willful suspension of disbelief and all that.

Infinite fuel space-planes and the magical spaceship that somehow carried enough supplies for a multi-year mission while looking way too small to do that, on the other hand - those annoyed me. If they hadn't gone for the "realistic" initial spaceship launch I probably could have binned those into the "magic space aliens" "suspension of disbelief" category and just ignored them, but when you go for "realism" you need to go for "realism" everywhere.

Sounds like it's the same with this movie. OK, so the hacking is super realistic, great. Too bad the rest of the movie isn't, making the contrast just that much more jarring.

(That being said, I enjoyed Interstellar. It's a good movie. The science stuff is still a bit bogus, but the core movie is good. Sounds like the same can't be said for Blackhat based on the reviews I've seen.)

I'll just point you to mythosaz's comment since otherwise I'd just copy it.

You do realize there is a massive realm of potential punishment between "nothing" and "years in a small cell," right?

Wait, I recognize your user name, which means you almost certainly do not.

And did he actually carry out those threats or is the traditional police tactic of "let's charge with literally everything we can and see what sticks?"

Because nothing in the article elaborates on these so called death threats and swatting claims. It's almost entirely about the LizardSquad DDOS, that involved neither of those.

And that has what to do with the Lizard Squad DDOS attacks on PSN/Xbox Live that the article is about?

Uh, that seems kind of harsh for someone who's crime is preventing people from playing with their new toys on Christmas day.

You could also do what I did once, and accidentally hit space in the command and not notice.

rm -rf a/bunch/of/local/junk /

Except that's not quite right. What I actually did was:

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/dontremember /bin

Actually, when it comes to consoles... they kinda did.

Consoles in Windows run as part of the Client/Server Runtime Subsystem, which isn't exactly equivalent to init but kind of is. Killing CSRSS causes a BSOD as it's considered that critical to Windows. (Sort of, apparently it's not a "real" BSOD. Do not ask me what that means, I don't know.)

This was the reason that the Windows console didn't support themes (like the XP theme or the Aero theme) until Windows 7 - it was too tightly coupled to the core OS and Microsoft didn't want to introduce security risks via themes.
