Youtube for DHS stop.
Tell me when your country wakes up so I can spend money vacationing there again.
I still remember when I didn't need a passport to take a trip to NYC for the weekend.
Oh well
Voting with a ranked system is incredibly fair and gets shot down as being 'multiple' votes.
If you want A or C elected but not D and don't care about B, vote A:1, C:2, B:3 and not for D at all.
Same thought here
You'd be wrong. Virus writers invented self-mutation engines and encryption systems for code long ago and VMs to detect that code became commonplace in AV products. cf. AV test suites where even the best anti-virus software can't detect 100% of known viruses.
Hardware that can't be emulated you mean.
Even high grade encryption hardware that refuses to allow debugging can be emulated, if slowly, once you have keys.
This exactly -- virus writers have been at the forefront of code that hides and obfuscates itself and VM type systems were developed to essentially run the code to determine its effects without actually running the code.
So long as the code can be executed, it can be reverse-engineered.
You're calling people names because you think enumerating instances is hard?
With the exception of idiotic code like:
A = new something();
A = new somethinelse();
A = new justanotheridea();
A.somemethod();
Its almost obvious to write a quick search that finds all cases of [name] = [class_we_care_about] and replace [name].oldmethod with [name].newmethod.
For the record, Visual Studio couldn't do it for me when I used runtime class building so its not like IDEs are foolproof anyway -- thus the need for programmers who can actually code.
Your command of logic is stunning.
Lack of proof does not change anything.
Get a life, seriously.
Also, I write software every day. Its not all I do, but I do a lot of it. Get over yourself. Your limitations do not extend to everyone, nor do your needs.
I will never understand the small-mindedness required to say 'prove it' to every single thing one cannot themselves fathom doing.
Good to know. I've only done this with nvidia boards and never had problems myself. Just seems like an odd FUD post to hit slashdot at all.
Its not standard practice, its a commonly requested nicety.
An awful lot of zero day exploits are so bad that people should know about them just as soon as manufacturers in order to defend themselves.
What's sick is that so many people in our day and age consider their cars, computers and everything else black boxes that should be managed from the outside instead of taking responsibility for them. I don't want auto manufacturers to fix the problem and distribute it slowly to people, I want people to realize how much of a problem this is so they can take their manufacturer to task. Auto manufacturers for all we know played fast and loose with designing these systems -- yet another reason to push for more not less openness.
As far as I know, you can load as many NVidia cards into your box as you have PCIe slots to handle them and load those with as many monitors as they can handle and get full acceleration on all of them on Linux.
What you may not get is 2D acceleration which Windows got favoured with years ago by drivers that are OS specific.
Works out of the box for me too on an NVidia based card running dual screens.
For those reasons, I greatly prefer Netflix to regular network/cable television viewing. I don't think we've even hit the critical mass for online television viewing yet.
No amount of careful planning will ever replace dumb luck.
