This is a waste of money. There are plans to decommission parts of the ISS in the pretty near future. Why do this for something that's not going to be around all that much longer?
They are required to add a handicapped spot.
Nobody has to agree to the GPL. However, if you don't agree to it you have no license to the code.
So thieves don't have to give back stolen goods, because that would be cooperating. Interesting legal theory.
I did. They say "it is unclear" meaning they don't know of any way to exploit this in the real world where ECC is used. Their chart gives probability of success AFTER assuming they can flip a bit in a specific key file.
Bull. Try checking facts.

Functional programming languages like Lisp predate procedural languages and are arguably more efficient, more productive and produce software that is easier to maintain. The reason we use procedural languages is only that they are easier to learn to program. 5GL constraint-based programming seems so special-purpose as to be useless in a general-purpose programming environment. It is in the same class as ExCape - solving the tiny part of problem that doesn't need to be solved, instead of the 90% that is not amenable to its methods. How does it deal with graphics, hardware interface, error recovery, zero-downtime update, remote backup? yeah. Good luck. (Note - all easy in CL). Prolog is the most mature and complete but still not gaining much traction.
Why do people keep trying to automate coding, which I spend less than 10% of my time on? What about:
Q: Does Amazon EC2 use ECC memory?
In our experience, ECC memory is necessary for server infrastructure, and all the hardware underlying Amazon EC2 uses ECC memory.
Most cloud vendors would not be vulnerable to this hack.
This is not a practical vulnerability in the field. It depends on knowing when a page is de-duped, its physical address, and the DRAM layout. Any address space randomization will defeat it.
Since the guy you cited voted multiple times under his own name, how would ID have helped?
There's also the issue that the "nominal fee" for the ID used to be called a poll tax. That's unconstitutional, also.
The rumor that Snopes has an agenda is false. I checked on Snopes.
Josh Wolf served 226 days for refusing to give up information.
they should institute the pact the way it is. its good. its there for good reason. do you want russia, china, india getting american software and more imporantly tech support???
The problem is that although it is intended to make you more secure it might have the effect of making you less secure. Kind of like Norton AV.
