I was surprised by the .36. When Lexus first came out c. 1990 they advertised the LS400 heavily as having a .28 and later models got down to .24. .36 is 50% worse than a 1990's sedan and surprising since range has always been an issue.

I guess it looks cool, though (hard to argue with the company's success).

I'm willing to bet the NSA has prior art on this.

You think the Lizard Squad is teenagers? The conspiracy theorists have been warning us that the NSA is run by the NWO and Lizard People for decades.

Publicity might have a bit to do with it but remember that endeavor mission which they lost the tool bag and people watch it burn up on reentry?

Mistakes can and has happened. Its a particularly challenging work enviroment usually performed by novices on the particular application of repair with distractions all around. There is likely a practical application for it also.

Have you not learned anything? Those rush jobs on death stars always result in some hole they forget to cover and it gets blown up with one shot.

You can choose to be purposely ignorant if you want but i'n not sure it is a good idea to advertise it.

It will also make the manifold boost from the turbo act like rocket thrusters helping you get off the ground.

I looked for years to find those LEDs that made a whorring noise (sound effects) when they light up but i think that was all hollywood.

Museum?? They sell it at outdoor stores in the camping and hiking sections with brand names now. No novelties there any more. And yes, just like at the museum (COSI in Columbus Ohio) , i had to try it. Not bad.

One of my PCs is a Gateway GT5628 PC with an Intel Q6600 chipset. Shutdown used to work every time on this PC, with kernels around the 2.6.32 version. By 2.6.38, shutdown was unreliable. About half the time shutdown works, and the other half the computer goes through the shutdown process successfully and at the very end, fails to turn itself off, sitting on the text screen with "power down" displayed on the monitor. I have to hold the power button for 4 seconds to complete the shutdown.

I haven't submitted any bug report. It would be nice if shutdown worked every time like it used to, but it's a minor problem with an easy workaround, so minor I figured no one would care to hunt it down and fix it. I haven't. I could try a bunch of old kernels out to narrow down when this feature was broken, but haven't felt it was worth my time.

Linux is very good about supporting old hardware, but inevitably some does get left behind. They deliberately dropped support for the 386 somewhere around kernel version 3.5. Other old hardware simply isn't checked. When was the last time anyone tried a mouse that plugs into the serial port? Not USB, not PS/2, but ye olde 9 pin (or 25 pin!) serial port? Last time I fooled around with one about 5 years ago, I couldn't get XWindows to recognize it. The fastest "fix" is to just get a USB or PS/2 mouse. Or, at the price of systems these days, a whole new computer.

First of all there is no 'hyper inflation' in Russia. Hyper inflation is not just 50% or 100% inflation, hyperinflation is thousands percent and more. This is just kids play, compared to hyperinflation.

Secondly there are markets in Russia, people buy and sell products and commodities and labour and while there are regulations, actually they are much lower than regulations in countries like the USA. So store owners who paid their money for their stock respond to the market conditions by raising prices, that's market dictated behaviour and not government regulated behaviour (though this behaviour is a response to a government created problem).

The point is your example with a bakery is absolutely false, a bakery will change prices if the market forces dictate it so.

Someone drop a 1? 13,400 sounds more believable.

Calling Bill Gates an innovator and inventor is really pushing the fanboi envelope. Businessman, entrepeneur, sure, but Microsoft's innovation was all in the lockin, nothing to do with technology.

Correct as usual, King Friday.

Now, about that Brazil Connection ...

Classic nerds vs. geeks. Nerds are happy to be sacks of goo because exercise is not interesting to them. For geeks, everything is an optimization problem - the meatsuit gets no pass.

Perhaps you should go to a bakery in Russia over the last months, every day prices change more than once specifically because of increase of demand with the same supply. This increase of demand is caused by the falling currency value, but the result is the same.

1) They have complete lack of image validation
2) Docker prints "Image validated" as part of the pull.

This is just flat out embarrassing, If I was the "lead security engineer" of that, I would actually worry about job stability.
There is not a whole lot he could say that would save face.
And yet, the response is truly terrible. He essentially says "yeap, we knew about it, shipped it anyway, and talked about fixing it"

It does not take a PR genius to figure out a good response. For example: "Thank you for pointing it out, we will have a patch soon" or respond with an actual patch. This is not rocket science, validating a signature properly only takes a few lines of shell script or C code, and has been solved a long time ago by most other package managers.
