Yes indeed. This is how it is reported here in Europe: a quite weak article (for example, pressure measurements are lacking data for higher pressures >360 GPa), and too early conclusions. More like marketing than science. Did M. Trumps administration approve such communication, now the science censorship system is in place ?

It might also be more low tech than said : apparently, it is also relying on a cookie to retain information about your authenticity !! https://www.shieldsquare.com/s...

I think no Intel or AMD CPU is secure because of the build-in IME (or the equivalent AMD "feature"). This is a non auditable backdoor, with low level access to hardware (network, ...) incl. memory access. The only way to build a secure system is to avoid these processors. Power8 might be a good option (see https://www.raptorengineering.... for example)

Yeah, this will likely hurt the whole Dutch car industry !

Well, there is a slight difference: the Prophet (whatever religious belief you're relying on to accept being a mortal thinking animal) is either non existant or dead. Humans being insulted because of their skin are well alive, and might suffer from it for real.

Humm... I have some feeling this comment is intended to be insulting, but I can't precisely tell where... Maybe reversing the proposition: "And you did put a strange hat, stupid old-fashioned bigot winner"... Well, still don't see :-)

Well, Intersystem's Caché database is essentially the latest instance of MUMPS. It still used quite widely in Hospital systems...

Well, another interesting case of "US laws apply worldwide" is the BNP-Paribas Case, where the bank was fined several billions of dollars for not following a US boycott on Iran. The interesting part is that the bank is a french bank, it was acting from Swiss, and France was not supporting the boycott. No US citizen and no US company was involved. But USD was used, and somehow US judges found they were entitled to act... (of course the bank had to pay).

Well, up to now China does not seem to think its legislation applies to me. US tend to (as long as you have anything to do with the US, including using USD for a transaction, or Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, ...). So... I'd much rather have China spy on me than the US.
Moreover I have grown up with the idea that the US was the good guys. But... Guantanamo, NSA, global warming politics, etc etc... that's too much for me, disappointed love might be worse than plain dislike !

humm... I'm not a native english speaker, so to me it sound like all those globish trademarks and buzz words, that is... foreign and globish. So, it does mean somethings or has some connotation for native english speakers ?

ArrayOutOfBoundException !

So, this is a software only patent... so it's not legal in Europe (or is it). Some Linux distro might consider integrating this code directly, and compile it instead of letting FF grab a blob from Cisco. Maybe distribute it in a special repository, that users would activate where it legal... Notice VideoLAN for example does play HEVC (aka H.264), and does not licence anything...

Sure I do ! In fact, it has been my only OS since 1998. Since I unplugged my old Amiga. And no, I never had dual boot. Did I have some tougth times? Sure, I did. I still can remember the "optimized for IE" web, and activeX, and lack of hardware drivers... but, now. Well, it's just working out of the box, and I don't see any reason one would not use Linux (expect for gaming maybe, but this is slowly changing also, it appears).

You're right. This is the very definition of integrism.
You can change Christianity with any religion, and tell the exact same thing. That's what is scaring with religious belief: there is no place to doubt. And humans are only secondary to deity (so they can deserve to suffer, or to die, for the sake a 'God'). This is the exact opposite of what the Age of Enlightenment gave us: humanism.

You can see these books on the history of such thinking (reaction to Enlightenment):
