You've apparently never had to deal with buggy Linux drivers. I've been fighting with a buggy nVidia implementation ever since I switched it to be my Linux server. It has never quite worked right on Linux (Fedora, Ubuntu), but since it's a server, it's not a big deal.

I DID find out the hard way when they changed mdadm to HALT BOOT when *ANY* array is degraded, and then not give a useful error message.

If your Windows PC is getting BSODs, either it's hardware fault, or it's a bad driver. (Or possibly a driver-level virus). If the hardware is actually supported by that version of Windows, you should investigate further. There may not be a good driver, but you should be able to at least identify the issue I would start with the NIC driver. I had a D-Link DUB-E100 USB NIC. The Win7 x64 driver would cause the same issues you're having now.

This story from 2008 suggests that the citizens support censorship.

This story from a few months ago says most don't believe it is being censored/monitored.

I'm sure Apple will structure it to ensure the latter cannot be (legitimately) applied. The Chinese team, employed by Apple of China (or similar), will not have access to the encryption keys. Those will be stored stateside, accessible only to employees of Apple of America.

That being said, the authorities will ABSOLUTELY have the power to cut Apple out of China entirely. They will be walking a tight rope between giving in, and standing strong. Google went through a lot of this a few years ago, now Apple will have to try to do the same.

All kinds of people buy cars that are completely out of warranty. I believe the longest factory warranty is 100k miles, but there's no shortage of used cars with more than that (even significantly more)

When buying used, you are taking a risk. The only difference is that, since Teslas are new, no one's really sure what the failure/longevity rates are. It's also possible that Tesla will start a Certified Pre-Owned option, with an extended warranty. Or that the cost of this repair will go down substantially by the time anyone would be paying out of pocket.

I disagree. I had a herniated disc a few years ago (possibly caused by recliners, no way to really tell), and for a while, a recliner was the only way I could get relief. Leaning back took pressure off of that specific spot. At the time, I could not stand or walk unassisted, and sitting upright was very painful.

Fortunately, this has been completely resolved for me, but the lesson it left me was very clear - if it hurts, stop doing it. I fully agree, your back needs to be a top priority when selecting a chair.

Why would that be different than with IPv4? Prefix aggregation, AKA route summary, AKA Supernetting, has been available for a very long time. Unless IPv6 addresses are being handed out in a way that's much more conducive to this, it won't really change anything. This guy agrees (#4)

Further, since IPv6 is a longer address, fewer can be stored. Per Cisco, the Catalyst 6500 can handle 1M IPv4 addresses, OR 512K IPv6 addresses (but not both simultaneously)

(Yes, I know the Catalyst is a switch, not a router, and the summary is bollocks for confusing the two. It was, however, the first mention of it I found)

You do understand that there's a delay between getting a license, and opening the doors of the business, right? The delay is usually (much) longer than a week.

Presumably, most growers would not be in Seattle, but in the more rural areas surrounding it. Same as any crop. Unless it's more difficult to transport than any other crop ever, the distance is no issue.

There are 50 growers in the state, and many more have applied (including a bunch in Seattle)

It LITERALLY just became legal, so everyone's still ramping up. (I'm not even going to bother responding to the Huffington comment)

Honestly, if you're asking, it probably doesn't affect you. This really only affects a tiny percentage of users, who are specifically coding with feature.

I know this was a troll, but I feel compelled to reply in case someone doesn't know.

ALL CPUs have errata. Some of it more significant than others.

A quick Google for "AMD errata" revealed Revision Guide for AMD Family 16h Models 00h-0Fh, published June 2013, and applying to AMD's Mobile A,E, and G series, and Opteron X1100/X2100 (These are modern CPUs)

There are 21 entries, with descriptions, system impact, and suggested workaround (if any)

Haswell's errata has 131 entries

I can't speak for the laws, but the claim that no one's buying, and thus has only 1 shop, is demonstrably false. While it's true there's only 1 shop, it just opened on July 8. 3 days later, they were completely sold out

They issued the first 25 licenses this week, and most just haven't opened yet. You just have to give it some time.

I've always wondered how that was legal. I understand seizing it as evidence (pending a trial), but simple forfeiture is a very clear violation of the 5th Amendment

Doesn't matter, they'll send it to collections for an unpaid debt

Listening to a call while they're on it? There are so many analogies here...
Movies: Inception.
Coding: A function calling itself
Cliches: Snake eating its own tail

And oh so many more...

I saw this on Gawker yesterday, where it was presented as original. I considered submitting it here, but dismissed it as being from an untrustworthy source. Had I seen it on Ars, I probably would've submitted it here. Ars is a lot more respectable than Reddit or (esp) Gawker.
