Except for those doors inserted by your hacked compiler

If their reasoning was to show how DRM has a central failing point that would cause legitimate purchased games to fail to install and play due to absence of the central DRM authority. I spent an hour trying to get my sons XBox One online until I realized the network was flooded ( I assumed due to Christmas). Later to find some dickish hacker eff-tards had done a lame DDoS attack.

Take them down to prove always online DRM sucks and peer to peer gaming should be allowed. Although I think MS and Sony removed the "Always On" DRM before release.

Meh.

'scuze me. I think I have allergies.

I see they finally found that absolute point in the universe that does not move.

In other news: A company so desperate to get into bed with Apple signs away their soul for rainbows and promises.

I boot from the cloud.

Same thing can happen with paper ballot counting machines, it's all just centralized in the elections office. A fold through a voting mark or a stray mark from rough postal mail handling, whatever. There are public testing periods before and after each election to inspect the behavior of the software in counting ballots. Feel free to stop by your local elections office and observe sometime. Or just keep watching youtube videos of people with unfettered access to voting machines finding vulnerabilities which cannot be reproduced in a production environment.

So does this mean they will be releasing a processor that runs applications equally as poor on mobile and desktop? They will probably straighten in out in Intel i8.1 or just skip to i10 where they re-introduce the PCI bus bridge they disabled in i8.

I have seen so many industrial, public transport and now this citizen targeted fuel cell vehicle. If history teaches us anything (no not the Hindenburg) it's that these things run HOT AS HELL and needs a cooling system that is louder than an ICE.

Well to wheel efficiency is HORRIBLE on fuel cells. Clean energy to hydrolysis to hydrogen is around 50 KWh for 1 kg hydrogen. 1kg hydrogen ~= 35 KWh potential. That's 30% loss which is just there on par with an ICE. Then you actually have to recombine with O2 in a fuel cell. That peaks at about 60% efficiency (PEM) and at best 70% on others.

Go home Toyota, you're drunk.

HTML5 introduces several useful features which were poorly implemented with shims in HTML. Example: Canvas element now allows for graphics without a plugin. New input types will _lessen_ the need for Javascript datepickers, field type validation. HTML allows for offline application and data so you can launch web applications offline.

All of this depends on browser support though. Input types are not universally implemented or even clearly specified as to their behavior in specifications. Canvas element glitter depends on Javascript for anything useful which then depends on the underlying speed of the Javascript VM / compiler.

So in short, it is all transitional until you can depend on 100% browser support. There are HTML5 polyfills out there, but they are not at 100%.

Finally Microsoft was given me a reason to install Windows on all my machines to support their glorious Visual Studio 2015. I will lock all my projects up in Team Foundations installed on Windows Server.

I use Visual Studio 2012 and TFS currently. I don't know what it is, but it seems to suck all the fun out of programming. Maybe it's just not dangerous enough. The compiler catches most everything and I can't seem to throw segfaults or hide memory leaks. I get my jollies every so often by developing for PHP in C where I am able to churn out leaky crap right along with everyone else.

ALT+(left Arrow) works on all browsers I know of. Why backspace is needed, I don't know. I split all my "readonly" inputs to disabled with a hidden counterpart to work around this stupid design. But, I love the extra work and duplication. It keeps me sharp.

Damn, you beat me to it. The take away from this is... you still have a shit ton of (re)programming to do to take advantage of this technology.

If I could just get the environmentalists on board, Death Valley has over 500 million acre feet of storage capacity at below sea level. I foresee the creatures there would welcome the gradual filling of this expanse with sea water. We could even see the native pupfish blossom in this new ecosystem. Where is the army corpse of engineers when you need them?

And that is why RAID 0 wear leveling is useful in this case.
