If you consider that the C compiler itself uses assembly to make the basic operations work in the libraries, and that all C code is built on assembly libraries, then it makes the whole argument kind of silly, doesn't it?
ALL the kernel code is assembly on Linux and BSD, some of it is just raw assembly, and other bits of it are assembly encoded in "C".
The couple in that most languages and VMs are written in C
Or not, since we can wait 5 years, see how other countries have done it, pick the best methods to manage it and move on.
Amazon will be happy to return its test program to the US at that point.
You do realize some of the reason countries are making it easier than the US is specifically to have the initial research done on their soil, not because they intend to stay the way they are, which will end when various things go wrong, like the Amazon team coming back drunk from a Friday lunch and flying into a school bus on its way home.
No you won't. Any decent "drone". Will just land or return to base if primary or secondary radio links are lost. If GPS lock is also lost, it will just land where it's at.
You aren't even a little bit clever and you clearly don't know enough about the state of drones to start making bullshit claims about making it crash. Even the basic OSS flight controllers are well beyond your abilities based on how easy you seem to think it is.
Just because you saw something on the Internet about Syria or Iran redirecting US MIlitary drones doesn't mean that's what actually happened.
All of my fully autonomous drones are not going to come down due to RFI, since RFI is so common place that they are designed to deal with it naturally, even without the threat of haxors. My radio links are digitally signed packet networks, you aren't pretending to be my radio transmitter though not encrypted so you could watch the data flow, it's pretty useless to you. If you confuse it with bad packets, it will just ignore you and stay on its preprogrammed flight plan or potential it's "radio signal lost" plan, which personall I just set to RTB.
No gps lock has the option to hold position and wait or just land immediately.
Really, we thought of people as clever as you probably well before you were born.
Other than you saw some other moron on the Internet say 'China Did It'
It is simply stunningly illogical for China to behave this way against such petty targets. It makes absolutely NO sense for them to flaunt their ability and willingness to do so as the simple course of action the entire reset of the world would take is a simple matter of NULL routing China and going on about their daily business, your 'war' would be over before anyone really cared.
And
WTF is it with you nut jobs who seem to think the entire world is out to get you regardless of cost to themselves?
Slashdot is pretty much the only place on the planet that thinks this is an actual attack by the Chinese, perhaps you should ask yourself why? And no, before you get the idea, its not because slashdot is so smart and so far ahead of the general public, that ended 10 years ago.
So the problem here is that Stanford wants to enroll more students without spending more on the resources required to actually support those students.
They want to charge for two students, but pay for the faculty and staff of one.
In other words, much like the cable companies and Internet access to Netflix, they want to double dip.
I.E. This is bullshit and a good example of why if you think a stanford education makes you special, you're right. Special as in retarded to the point that you don't realize you're being ripped off.
No, they said its open sourced, not infected by the Stallman virus.
You fucked this spoof of so ridiculously, I'm surprised you even got 42 right.
Stop. Seriously, Just fucking stop.
JUST STOP, NO ONE WANTS YOU TO POST THIS CRAP, READ THE GOD DAMN COMMENTS ON EVERY STORY POSTED TODAY.
If you're going to post this shit, you at least have to have read the book before you start making shit up.
Does anyone at slashdot or dice in general have any fucking clue what April Fools is about?
Its not about posting completely unbelievable ideas you stole from someone elses book/movie/tv show plot.
Its about doing something in such a way that you trick someone else into believing something completely unbelievable.
EVERYTHING posted to slashdot today is just fucking retarded. Not just unbelievable, most of it is just stupid, none of it is original, and not a single reader of this site is stupid enough to actually believe even the headlines to this stupid stories. They aren't clever. They aren't funny. They are just flat out lame.
If you approved one of todays stories, you should have your privs revoked immediately and more appropriate would be to fire your dumb ass, no sense of humor, annoying self in the name of making slashdot suck a little less. FFS, have any of you even fucking READ 2001 or seen the movie Firefly yourself? I mean not just heard about it from someone else, since you seemed to fuck up some pretty simple details greatly.
Except when its landing, or taking off, or being loaded, or being unloaded, or serviced by humans
Plenty of times they are all wrong answers, and getting one of those questions wrong doesn't throw out your request completely, so your understanding of how it works has almost zero security as well.
is pwnership of your computer
And be around and watching/sniffing when you login to irs.gov to get your password. Unless you're doing something retarded like storing your password unencrypted in a text file. Most of us have OSes with Password managers that don't suck ass.
Of course, they could just take the information from your mailbox on pretty much any given day of the week for most people and sign themselves up.
Your security concerns are really silly, there are far easier ways to own you, and by the time they've rooted your PC with malware to do what you want, they have everything anyway so your comment is pretty retarded, considering its far more useful to get to your bank accounts and credit accounts which actually have money available to them versus your IRS account which takes money from you.
Or
China would really sanction such a petty operation against github
GitHub is suddenly target because of what?
It makes no sense for the Chinese to use their own primary connectivity to the rest of the world to run a half assed DDoS against a company that almost no one outside the OSS world even knows exists.
And if they wanted to do it, they'd take github down and be done with it. China has WAY more bandwidth than github, even taking AWS into account.
The whole story is wildly unbelievable to anyone who stops and thinks about it rather running life a half cocked nut job like appearently slashdot has devolved to. If you believe this story, you really need to come back to reality
nor that the Facebook TLS is properly signed if you can't rely on the DNS entry.
TLS doesn't depend on DNS working properly and not being corrupted. Its job, is in fact, to alert you of the fact that things like DNS corruption are taking place, or that someone is intercepting your traffic.
I've written many ActiveX controls, some for use in a browser, some not.
At no point was I required to sign or agree to a license to do so.
You can make ActiveX controls with any compiler that supports WIndows and will create DLLs with C++ calling conventions that match the MS style
ActiveX is no different than XPCOM
The only insightful thing about your post is that slashdot has fallen to the point that this sort of ignorance is so commonplace that you got modded to +5
Older iPhones are $100, so it's not a fraction of the price, is it?
What your doing is comparing your pinto to a vette and pretending the you got the same car for 1/10th the price.
Suggest you just sit there and wait till life gets easier.
