TFA: As ComputerWorld reports, during the second half of 2010, the data shows that 32bit Windows 7 computers were infected at an average rate of 4 PCs per 1,000, compared to 3 PCs per 1,000 that took place during the first half of 2010.
A difference of 1 thousandth is beyond statistical significance. How did this entry even get to the frontpage? It boggles the mind.
Narrowly pointing out and having their lead "evangelist", Asa Dotzler, scream condemning words and making absurd claims is a different thing.
In any case, I haven't seen any proof that the dead-code eliminator is "somewhat narrowly tailored for Sunspider". It could just be that it's quite aggressive, so any code that doesn't touch the DOM or change any variable (like calculating 1M of pi and sending it to null) get elliminated.
Didn't Mozilla cry bloody murder when IE9 was discovered to perform dead-code elimination claiming it was "cheating" because it made some outdated JS benchmarks finish in 0 time?
Fuses are meant as failsafes so faulty equipment doesn't catch on fire (or to protect the powersupply/battery from that faulty equipment). The fact that a fuse was blown under normal conditions indicates a deeper problem in the devices it powers.
I would definitely NOT trust equipment after it blew a fuse out of the ordinary. Especially safety equipment on a car.
... their precious time to editing Wikipedia, they should first up find a solution to shield them from the drama some Wikipedia editors, admins and ArbCom members love so much.
Quake Live actually runs through a plugin.
GIMP toolbars (and generally all kinds of toolbars in different programs) do not respond to mouse gestures, so you can actually drag them to the top and they wont maximize.
Security through obscurity doesn't work in practice. Most of these "toolkits", as TFA likes to call them, come in various flavors from x86 Windows to Siemens networked PLC controllers. Unless there are sound security practices on-site and air-gaps where required, no system is secure.
Dignity? Ethics? I dunno 'bout you man, but some people care about those things.
*whoosh*
I don't believe EULAs and TOS can circumvent actual laws.
Sumatra PDF is hugely superior and doesn't nag you with "Online Offers".
It also has a much cleaner, native looking interface without the toolbar chaos characteristic of Foxit.
An authority is a person who can tell you more about something than you really care to know.
