Wouldn't a file like this have to exploit a whole variety of codecs simultaneously? Surely there must be many decoders on the market, some of them even in hardware. Or has libavcodec recently become the most popular target? I would have thought that an attacker would go after the Windows Media Player instead, simply because of the installed base.

And by computing workforce, you mean this?

Furthermore, even quite some time after the advent of digital computers, there was this period in which the prevalent opinion in the field was that computer hardware design happened to be the actually important (and perhaps prestigious) job whereas programming said computers was a lowly, clerical work... I don't think that anyone should be surprised to whom these new jobs initially went. In other words, I find it plausible that the initial high involvement of women in early computing was actually a symptom of pre-existing sexism rather than of later-lost equality.

So...who did the one guy play with?

I think you're talking about neoliberals there. That's the one movement derived from liberalism that I'm aware of being highly overlapping with conservative people who want to dictate how other people should live.

No, by definition he's right: It's tough to overwrite a READ ONLY MEMORY . Of course, the firmware in the Mac isn't actually stored in a true ROM but in an EEPROM or some other solid-state memory that can be overwritten. So the article is incorrect or misleading to call that chip a ROM.

I'll be happy to match your ex-Bush list one for one with someone from the Clinton or Obama groups. Don't pretend it's a one party issue.

Wouldn't "we the people" have standing?

I may not agree with Monsanto's labeling, but I do agree that they should be allowed to sue over it. They are directly impacted by the chance, so why should they not be allowed to fight it?

" In fact, multiple vendors have predicted that LPDDR4 clock speeds will actually outpace standard DDR4, with a higher amount of total bandwidth potentially delivered to tablets and smartphones than conventional PCs will see."

I doubt it since you could just adapt the LPDDR4 memory for use in a desktop if you have half a brain. Furthermore, since since sub-watt level powersavings aren't really critical on a desktop, if these chips are actually that good then they can be opened up to run faster at a higher power envelope that's still reasonable for a desktop.

Many companies do this kind of thing, which leads me to a question for you. Are you sure there wasn't a separate tier, one that not every employee got cards for? My own company does this to us...we outsourced our IT a few years back, and now if you call and tell them you're from a certain location, you get your hand held, and a blow job, while your machine is fixed.

Now why would you feel that way about people favourable to constitutional changes and legal or administrative reforms tending in the direction of freedom or democracy? Are you a slave owner, an absolute monarchist, or a theocrat?

DuckDuckCover?

Canned air and the Joule-Thomson effect to the rescue? :D

I thought virtually all Republicans were bananas?

It's also probably in part due to reduction of infectious disease epidemics, again through sanitation (no more cholera and plague). Also, antiseptic birth, or how that thing is called - which I'm not sure if it counts as "sanitation" as such, but again, a similar principle. And food security, perhaps? That's the only major non-hygiene-related factor that I can come up with. Famines were a regular occurrence in pre-modern times, after all.
