Perhaps it is you who has a problem.

Let's try putting those two assertions that you evidently take exception to another way.

Can you see that the statement "Let's not assume that all cops are bad" is not in any way contradicting the statement "bad cops exist and should be dealt with".

Unfortunately no matter what mode it is in, the two FPU pipelines are still sitting behind a single FPU scheduler so the result is essentially the same.

My numerous benchmarks with bulldozer processors back this up, particularly with the likes of Matlab. Those processors are great for multi-process servers (web, email, etc) but useless for floating-point math (gaming, render farms, compute servers, etc).

Hell I'd settle for just having one FPU per core again and none of this "module" nonsense.
AMD jumped the shark for me in 2012 when they killed off their Phenom 2 line.

If this pans out perhaps we can get legal precedence against the horrible online ads that tell you there were 349856 problems detected with your computer.

Aww, so it's not quite in the same league as an etherkiller then?

FWIW, WFM on Fedora 20

That said, I am concerned that a lot of basic X11 features are disabled in big distros now. CTRL-ALT-+ used to "zoom in" by reducing the screen resolution while keeping the total viewport the same size.

Shift-NumLock would always activate MouseKeys. Now these features are often hidden behind some shakey framework.

I can see why CTRL-ALT-BKSP would be disabled but the rest were much more useful for end users.

Here's the thing:

I am afraid. Afraid of being right.

I want the climate change deniers to be right, because then the world will continue to be hospitable to our way of life in the future.

Are you just making stuff up?

The method you have described requires root ('admin') access and can only really be described as a misconfiguration rather than an attack.

Yes, it is. I didn't realise Apple were using C connectors, in which case I withdraw my complaint!

Beautiful.

Are you sure about that? Because that's the kind of thing the --write-mostly flag was designed to avoid.

The cables, the cables! I have had to replace several Apple power cables that crapped out. Much fewer with the round-style connectors.

Not that I think USB charging is a step forward at all - in fact it's a regression to a single-orientation design whereas at least MagSafe was dual-orientation.

Damn, and I took the bait. Oh well, you live and learn I guess.

Not quite sure what you mean there. Do you mean removing the Wikipedia links from the maps, or something else?

Now can someone please publish the counter-argument, that Copyright is not in the Public Interest.

Shall we compare them side by side?
