Whoever thinks that plastic isn't already part of the global food web hasn't eaten at a McDonalds recently

Block erupters are $20 at Amazon last time I checked...

One would assume that the thousands of other miners, if it was really that important to them, could easily step up their collective games and provide more hashing power than ghash can, even if ghash is actually claiming their entire rented-out customer base as their own (a rough equivalence of this would be if, say, Hertz was claimed to control more than half the roads because the cars on it are Hertz rent-a-cars).

Actually, it is. I want to do ONE update to get current, not seventeen updates with powercycles in between.

Mind you, Microsoft disabled security patches for win8.1 last month, so now the majority of recent win8 installs are unpatchable...

Remote sites typically have to pay for the entirety of the last mile costs themselves. Your point was?

So show of hands here, who has a 622 Mbps at home? That's right, as of this article, your "last mile" officially sucks more than LADEE's last 250,000 miles

Say PVP to a gamer and they're thinking of how to frag everybody else, not that they're addicted.

Don't see where your flamebait actually changes anything. It certainly provides nothing new, because you can say "they're rude" all day, the question is is the bug in question fixed, and when. Yes, the chances are very good that a bug submitter is going to get a "patch or GTFO" response. In the overall scheme of things, I'd say that's as good as can be expected, given many other groups respond with legal threats.

Well, in a normal situation, I'd say yes, but Linux's response to all bugs is similar, patch it as soon as there's a good patch. Now if it were a certain company in Redmond that scales its response based on customer "value", yeah, security bugs had best get fast-tracked. I honestly prefer the "fix all bugs and don't embargo fixes" response that linux does to the "when we discover bugs (heartbleed), we'll let the Cool Kids in on it first and then release it weeks later to the average user" response that Google does

Guy was a 3rd class, prolly the ink was barely dry on his promotion to 2nd class, then busted to 3rd out the door. TIR start of April 2011, enlisted 2009 He wasn't a "system administrator", he was cleaning the dust bunnies out of the computers.

I've got a good deal for them on 60Hz electrodes, only $1,000 each...

The interesting part is the three minors. I thought that the Navy has gone back to the "nobody under 18, period" rule for enlistments

...or a Cruiser, for example, that can carry TWO SH-60 seahawks
