A hacker needs root in linux to install boot time malware at which point its game over anyway and youll need to nuke the install from orbit including the loader so UEFI brings nothing to the table.

.. could help him find the missing 'e' in his name.

If you think UEFI enhances anything except MSs stranglehold on the PC market then theres a bridge with your name on it.

Unless you have plenty of spare carbon free energy to pump that water out in the first place then it's a non starter.

And even after all these years there are still plenty of idiots who don't understand what the word "average" means. I always see them slowing down for a camera then speeding right back up again afterwards. How do people this dumb get a license?

I've read that the spacecraft is now travelling at 24,500 mph. Given the moon is ~250K miles away even my bad maths can figure out thats approx 10 hours travel time so why are they quoting a 4 day trip to get there?

For some reason it still seems to surprise a lot of people - even some scientists - that global warming is not a steady linear process but rather it goes in fits and starts and sometimes maybe slightly backwards in temp in some places for a short while. A sudden jump in heat one year - and hence record snow melt - should not come as a shock to anyone especially academics in the field.

I suggest you go watch some crash videos on youtube where that actually happens and maybe you can educate yourself as to what really happens as opposed to what you imagine does. Cars are far less crash protected at the rear plus in all the videos I've seen of these broken down self drives, all the other traffic is going around them very slowly so it would be no problem for people to get out and walk to the shoulder.

Yeah, getting rear ended by a 30 ton truck is sooooo much safer.

Yeah, busy highway with the other traffic going around at , oh 10mph. You have seen the videos right? Right?

Either they were too stupid to open the doors and get out or the doors have a dangerous, potentially fatal interlock preventing them being opened even if the vehicle is disabled. Which is it?

I suspect modern cosmological physics is pushing the intellectual limits of the human mind. All the great minds working on it and after all this time still no working theory of what actually happened after the start never mind what caused the big bang in the first place. Perhaps we ll have to wait for AI to advance the field much further.

In a dealership you can sit in the various models available and do test drives. Not sure how that'll be possible buying direct. Also what happens when its service time? Will the manufacturer come and pick it up from your home or will you have to take it to them whereever that maybe? Perhaps they'll be happy giving independents all the info they need to do servicing but I won't hold my breath.

"He wasn't a product guy, and you need a product not just raw tech to sell. Selling stuff being somewhat important for a company."

Check out Clive Sinclair - he was an engineer and did pretty damn well selling his computers in the UK. Maybe Woz couldn't have done that, but it doesn't mean Jobs was the one required to help him, any competenant marketing type could have done the same. Vew few people could have designed the hardware and software that Woz did at the time.

Jobs gets all the accolades and fame but he was just a pushy sociopath in a suit, plenty of others could have done what he did. VERY few could have done what Wozniak did and its a damn shame that not many people outside of the tech world have heard of him.
