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.

they were able to pass the physical.

Oh, come on, stop harping on Joe Biden's frailty — he's been out of office for over a year now!

But you don't read the generated binaries, do you? Not even the assembly text...

.. 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.

I've been wondering for many years before the first traffic camera appeared, why the toll-roads aren't enforcing the speed limits automatically. The time you enter and exit the highway is recorded down to a second. The distance between these two points is known — your average speed could be computed on the spot even with the early 90-ies technology...

The polite police officers would be standing right behind the toll-booths issuing tickets without the drama of hiding in the bushes, then chasing you at highway speeds...

And, yeah, you could lower it by stopping at a rest area — but it'd still be a tremendous disincentive to speed.

I was and continue to hope, that such universal enforcement, affecting all voters, would cause the limits to go up to reasonable figures — or even be abolished completely...

I've run into these people, they're the worst

When have you last checked your compiler's output?

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?
